Re: Anyone else feel dislike towards EoE nowadays?

I've been kind of on hiatus as far as Neon Genesis Evangelion is concerned. It's a nostalgia fuel series for me, so my perspective is a bit skewed. Also an escapist thing for me. The main character is sort of like me, even as a 30 year old. I guess you could say I'm the type of person that Anno was ...

That sounds awful. You have my sympathies. Still having flashbacks?

Reddit is a mixed bag of good and bad, but they haven't made much change. It's almost getting as bad as...Tumblr. Just you wait and see.

Re: How did you first get into Eva?

I don't think I've talked about this, either on this website or anywhere else. Here goes nothing. I think I got into Neon Genesis Evangelion in my move from stuff like Dragonball to more "complex" stuff. I'd also discovered the website 4chan and hung out on /a/ a lot. Just browsing that bo...

I have to revise my position on Asuka after seeing the episode where she's introduced. I kind of see where most of you are coming from with her personality not being "bitch" and just being "elite pilot" elitism. She's also kind of hot...and also hot headed. It's very ...

Why does everyone assume she's just a bitch ? Besides being a gross oversimplification of her character, she's only "bitchy" to Shinji, who she's trying to push away because she confuses and frightens him, and the two boys, who she barely acknowldges. She's friends with Hi...

Re: Asuka is too good for Shinji?

When I first started watching Evangelion, I absolutely HATED Asuka. I thought she was a big bitchy brat. But then after awhile, she grew on me because I realized how similar we are. But the thing I never understood was why she liked Shinji. I've always thought she was way too good for him and w...

Crucifixion is a rather painful condition, so perhaps they wanted to use it for that symbolism. I don't think there were bad intentions behind it, because of what Catamari just explained, and because Evangelion is good, therapeutic work. I'm telling you this as a Catholic Christian who had ...

What's the best way to explain Lilith's crucifixion?

I really don't know how to best explain this to someone who doesn't know a thing about the series.


Does anyone know how to explain that this isn't a slap to the face of Yahshuah/Jesus? I'd write more, but I'm a bit at a loss for words right now.

But to hell with the macho crowd, who cares about what they think? Most of the people commenting on Evangelion related videos seem to think that Shinji-kun can be easily written off as a "faggot" and don't seem to care for context. In other words, most of the people who watch Evangeli...

Re: What do you find most appealing about the Eva-pilots?

I'm writing a story (I have aspirations for the story but they're unimportant right now) and I'd like to create the most appealing characters possible, even if only by design. I hope I get a lot of replies. Evangelion's fan base is particularly important to me as my story ha...

Re: How would the characters fare in Silent Hill?

Evangelion is infamous for how badly screwed up the entire cast is. Silent Hill feeds on the guilt, insanity, and pain of its victims and creates monsters based on those emotions. What would happen if Tokyo-3 turned into that fog-infested hellhole overnight? Pyramid head would drive the cast into g...

Do you really mean fan hate, viewer or imjustfollowingthecrowd hate? The hate from people who don't like the series to begin with spawns from Shinji being weaker in every department compared to a typical protagonist as well as gay and emo jokes. As for hate from fans, everybody watches the seri...

Throughout the series I thought Shinji was an okay guy, just in need of a self-confidence boost and to lose some of his naiveté. Everything he did wrong was eventually overcome, even if he didn't always acknowledge it. Series Shinji is a guy I don't mind rooting for. I can agree with this. ...
