BTW, Ornette (or anyone else who saw the movie), I saw a Q montage-style fanart that had a Rei head in the middle with empty, bleeding eye sockets, and immediately thought that it must be the severed Lilith head. Do you remember if her eyes were missing? (Would make sense, since the mas...

Nice post, Xard. You make some fine and intriguing points.

If only the producers could have expressed them better.

What do you think of the 14 year time skip in 3.0? Was it really needed? Personally, I have no clue why Anno and the rest of the producers decided to insert the time skip at all. For me, it has little purpose, it’s rather extraneous, and it reeks of clumsy writing. I mean, why did they need to move ...

Railroad plot, of course.

And, horribly unrealistic if you consider someone should just shrug off getting mind raped by a space parasite, got to feel what it was like to be mutilated, and the possible loss of an eye. With the additional bonus of being considered a specimen. whoa haven't posted something here in forever....

Wouldn't mind seeing Shinji's childhood life with his sensei. Would answer a lot of questions about why he's so angsty. Wait, too depressing. How about a spinoff with kid Kaworu in the style of Yotsuba&!? With kittens of course :3. Hey, there's been weirder things in the franchis...

I enjoy her on two levels. One, she's a lot like me. I find her character resonates with me more than Shinji's; the specific type of depression she represents is more in tune with my own moments of melancholy than his. Two, I enjoy a deconstruction of the character archetype she represents....

I tend to take the Cardass explanation that Shinji was trying to see if Asuka was real and had come back after being left alone in the world for so long. That's pretty much supported by Quantum!Rei's appearance beforehand. Of course he doesn't realize what the heck he is doing until Asuk...

Hmm, this seems like a hard question for me. The pilots would be ideal people I'll try to make friends with, given I am a bit of an outcast myself at my school. Interestingly, even though I'm shy and meek like Shinji, I see myself connecting with Asuka the most, given that she reminds me of ...

A little hit-and-miss (Shinji is particularly flat), but I loved Gendo and Fuyutsuki as Mr. Burns and Smithers.
The Gendo elevator gag was genius. It kinda makes me wonder what a LK Eva series would be like.

It already is. And recommended by three people, too. We really need Gregg Landsman and Chuckman promoting this fic on their profiles. Anyways, marathoned this fic, and I'm surprised it's not an official Evangelion novel series. It more than deserves to be, so people aren't stuck reading...

Hi there, this sounds like an interesting topic to me. No, she lies their hugging his corpse and begging him to come back to life. Actually, now that I think about it, dehydration would get her first. Okay, maybe after she totally lost her mind she might try eating him so he could be inside her fore...

Drop it! Drop it!

Seriously, I think it's a bit overhyped over there on FF.net.
Perhaps you can have everything start going downhill for Conan!Shinji and see how the readers react.

Hey there, Tang from FF.net here. You remember me, right? ...right? Anyways, great chapter, and I actually liked the dark approach. I was expecting Asuka to beat up those thugs like in the manga, and instead we have martial arts master Hikari helping her out. Loved how you handled Asuka's charac...

She can project an AT-Field of unparalleled strength and instantly regenerate a lost limb, both of which imply there's more to her than a normal human. If she can regenerate a whole limb she probably doesn't age. She'd either reach full adult development and never change or else she doe...

Rei seems to just be fully formed out of PWM-gunk, instead of anything scientifically probable. And because of what she's made of in the first place, she might not HAVE a lifespan. Ah, PWM. Personally, I don't think PWM is a factor here; we're talking about cells here, not the basic com...

It could also be plausible that Asuka's synching with Kyoko's soul in Unit 02 caused her to come across that knowledge, since her synch ratio was extremely high during the MPE battle. Then again, we (which means I) don't know if synching involves memories. Oh well, it was worth t...

Did some reading up on cloning, and had a small theory forming in my mind. Feel free to correct any errors I make. :rei_meh: Also feel free to direct me to any threads that discuss subjects similar to this if they exist already. So as we all know, Rei is a clone of Yui, with the soul of Lilith (...

You do have a point here. The Lance of Longinus wasn't exactly public knowledge.

Maybe the fake Lance tore a plot hole in her AT Field?

Huh, glad I found this thread. Got a few good ideas for fanfics then. #23: Iruel actually manages to do some damage to the simulation bodies. The pilots aren't harmed...in a physical sense. As it turns out, they ended up swapping bodies (hey, who knows what caused that?) with Asuka in Re...
