Now I may be attributing to the Japanese what little of nautical culture I know of in the West, but aren't ships and vessels generally considered female? Perhaps Shinji and Kaworu not having the -nami suffix or being named after ships is - in part - due to them being boys? For what it's worth, I thi...

On a base level, these are beautiful looking films with stunning soundtracks. Really, I think that the OSTs may objectively be the best parts of NTE. Sagisu has always been brilliant, but something about the new OSTs are incredible. I wish I had the music vocabulary to describe it. On a bit more of ...

Definitely hyped, it feels so strange that this is The End. The new plugsuits are great, and the synch implications are real cool. If I'm worried about anything, it's just that, with the exception of the Paris trailer, almost everything we've seen of the film appears to take place at/around the clim...

Very interesting stuff - despite how many times I've watched Q at this point, I never made the observation that ReiQ is likely, if not definitely, actually looking at something else. That she can't see outside, and that what is causing her worries is something within the EVA itself. There's a lot to...

My suspicions point me to believe it won't be used until the end of the film when [I assume] the Wunder goes down. I suspect the same. You could even throw in some of the good ol' birth imagery Anno loves in there: 01 tearing itself out of Wunder, breaking through those rib-cage-like areas in a cal...

Great posts, man. The information is laid out really nice.

I do have a question about Null though - when did it get 'revealed'? I hadn't heard about it til now. Do we have any other info on it aside from that sketch?

This is despite the fact that she is deeply involved with the conspiracy to end the world, endangers others during most of the fights she's in and is loyal to Gendo to the end of the series. As everyone else has said, her circumstances and situations in life aren't really her choice at all; not unt...

A lot of the hate for the film that I see comes from the (related and incorrect) assumptions that: - If a character doesn't act in a way that (the viewer) would act, then the character is badly written/doesn't have character development - If a character makes a decision or action that is not entirel...

3.0 is flawed, but still the only one of the three films so far that really seems to justify its existence separate from the original series. Absolutely agreed - and I agree with everything you put in the OP as well. From my first viewing of the movie, it felt so much more in the vein of what I exp...

NGE already had a couple scenes that reminded me of similar scenes in 2001, namely the otherwise innocuous shot of Gendo alone in a plane (on his way to Antarctica IIRC) with someone coming up and striking a chat. And far more clearly, the Seele monoliths. Anyways there's already a page...

A lot of the Anima stuff was really cool - it's off the wall, but in a fun, almost shounen/super robo way. If it's Yamashita's playground and some of the better ideas are fixed and used in Rebuild, I don't mind at all - especially since that's what this thread is more or less abo...

Despite their word, I don't think I'll believe it til I see it. It's been what - nearly 3 years now?

Maybe we'll get some cool extras or something, but I doubt it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy0awcLBWuc Exquisitely beautiful piece of art we have here, an AMV is worth a thousand pictures. It's new. One of the best I've seen in a while and one of my new favorites, it really captures a few themes Anno was going for- perfectly. Touch by Daft Punk. Th...

Rei-centric, and set to "Still Alive".

The editing is actually pretty good.

Is that so? Crazy. I once thought the "glyphs-to-keys" thing was coincidence/fan conjecture, but this is way too real.

This was actually super cool. Does the DSS Choker set invoke any song on the OST?

$330 dollars? Damn.

I mean, we expected it to be expensive, but that's insane. Plus if/when it comes over, we might end up paying more.

This is distressing.

Video is absolutely gorgeous. Would love to get my hands on a high quality file - some of those shots are dying to be made into wallpapers. My thoughts exactly. It was beautiful in every sense of the world - and a large number of the scenes are just asking to be high quality wallpapers. As for the ...

x-men DOFP mash up - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RovaT_XaKN8 very cool, it plays it like gendo and fyu are Shinji & kaworu as adults. That was actually insanely cool. And it fit together so well! Good find. Or make, I guess, if you made it. Speaking of making AMVs, I wish I had the ability....

Very interested in this. Jazz and Evangelion are two things I enjoy immensely.
