I had an idea regarding Gendo: He's going to sacrifice himself. Why? Kaworu calls Gendo "King of the Lilin". It reminds me of a bible account in Mathew (or Mark?) where Pilot refers to Jesus as "King of the Jews". We all know how Anno likes his bible references. In re...

The pylons are also used to secure the evas in the hangers as well as on the launch rail gun elevators

alright, I'm not a regular poster of the forums- and I'm not a fan of taking pictures of myself. However I've been up for a few days strait now going to school and doing homework. Really tired what the hell, why not relive being 13, eh? http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc227/Lesmiserab...

I was waiting for this topic to be re-opened. Nifty work Ran.

I don't know much about 'thematic elements' and what-not, but (for me) the wide shots are enjoyable from the visual arts angle; each shot is expresses by using the principles of design.

It could be oil or some kind of lubricant from the mechanical organs.

I'm still not sure if I'm convinced that Keel has no lower body. Picture is just such a mess. Might just be wishful thinking on my part, though. You know that’s a good point. When his organic body tanged, Keel’s synthetic organs could have just flopped down outta place. Eva-03 appears to ha...

This probably has NOTHING to do with Keel
BUT
I noticed that his ribs resemble the ribs of (Rebuild’s) Eva 03/Bardiel – the ribs have similar grooves.
I’d find the image, but I’m going to bed

The circular shapes on the mechanical part of the key remind me of the circular symbol used to represent the holy trinity.

Still thinking if this holds any import.

Thanks dedguy for the coloration and helmet correction! I don't know why i didn't think of coloring it like you did If you flip the image upside down, it makes more sense – appearing as if the middle abdomen segment is protruding out the farthest; and it does look as though there’s some armo...

First off, thanks DarthGendo for supplying the photoshopped picture of 08. Hey all help me out – Because of the angle and the foreshortening of 08, it’s difficult to make out the eva’s structure. I’ve started by highlighting the head, but can’t quite make out the rest of the layers. If you all wanna...

The three black circles are interesting. I find it especially interesting that the bottom-most black circle seems to lie "inside" a red shape evocative of a uterus. Those black circles give me a 'Tree of Sephiroth' feel. Also, is it just me, or does Eva 01 look like is has some of...

By the time Eva-01 goes ectoplasm, all of the other red trim has vanished. Yeah, the third eye is where the horn stripe would be, but at the same time it's screaming "I look like a third eye; do I remind you of anything?". Same way the contours of the helmet have been selectively shad...

you know, i can't remember exactly what 01 in 'god mode' looks like, but couldn't this 'third eye' people keep mentioning just be the red strip around its horn?
. . . the one that is nomally glowing grean

Did you come up with that on your own, or assimilate it from the Internets? A little of both. I read general ideas about the ‘the nature of souls in NGE/EOE’ (mainly on this forum) - and based my angel-birthing concept off of that soul info. . . . BUT I’m sure somebody else had the same, if...

sounds interesting. what do you mean by that?

I love this episode – especially the angel tower. After each angel was killed, their souls just hung around the earth with out a body. Armisael fused with 00 and used her body matter to ‘birth’ new bodies for the angel's souls to settle in. That’s what I’m thinking anyway.

Here is my take on the cross explosions: When Sachiel self-destructs, a glowy cross is shown. Judging from the nature of ‘souls’ in Neon Genesis, it seems reasonable (to me) that the cross launched Sachi’s soul into the atmosphere. (but because there was no one collecting angel souls, Sa...
