Hi everyone! I haven't been keeping up with the threads for a while and don't really want to read through hundreds of pages. After 3.0+1.0 being globally available for a few months, what do you think of NTE now? Does the lore make anymore sense after a few rewatches? Do you feel all 4 movies connect...

It’s pretty hard to jump in when there are already so many posts so I’ll just post what I think and then see what happens (sorry if this just repeats old posts). I think 1.0 and 2.0 are great and high quality, although their narrative and meta narrative goals are different than NGE. I appreciated th...

Ha thanks guys - your further questions about the lore reignited my interest in SHIN a little bit, so thank you. I’ll definitely have to see for myself how the Kaworu looping aspect is handled before I can say it really has diminished my interest in Eva. Now I’m also wondering if the limited lore is...

Before any of y'all come up in here and remind me that the Eva lore isn't the main thing about Eva, keep in mind we're on a forum with a very extensive Wiki attached to it. So clearly a lot of people here do care about the lore. Personally, I watched NGE a few times before finding Evageeks. I came t...

Hi everyone! Does 3.0+1.0 offer any more details on what the heck is going on with all of the 4-Series Evangelions? Do they show up again in the movie after the first ten minutes? Is there any kind of explanation for why some are Mk. and some aren’t? Do they have entry plugs/where do the dummy plugs...

Hi Everyone! I know Anno said at some point he wants Eva to be like Gundam. Does anyone have a convenient link for that? But anyway, do you think some Eva spinoffs or other media will be announced some point after 3.0+1.0? I hope they plan a movie about Second Impact (maybe it will even show how tha...

Hi! Using an old account from forever ago, never was very active though. I’m wondering how much of this trailer, and the other trailers, contain scenes from a possible flashback from Asuka’s point of view. I think Shinji would ask her about the past while they’re walking to wherever, or Rei might as...

My only objection to that is that Asuka doesn't seem to have any fear of her eye glowing blue, and she certainly doesn't seem to believe her eye is going to explode. In the DSS Choker's case the choker extended a ring of weird floating crystals, which clearly doesn't happen to the e...

Well, since the replica lances don't have AT fields, they most likely don't have souls. So Seele figured out how to create a weapon that pierces an AT field without using another AT field to corrode/erode it. Do you think they had recently created the technology or were they hiding it from N...

My view on what's over Asuka's left eye: It's a choker, just like the DSS Choker that bleeds red through Kaworu's plug suit as it primes, Asuka's Choker bleeds through her eye-patch when it needs to supress angelic power. I totally agree with you, it explains why it still glows ...

i never noticed that about the replica spears before! however, maybe the spears are reacting that way because they are interacting with the cores of the massive production units?

[Cleaned up and expanded the thread title. - Monk] anyone give much thought to the production and abilities of the replica spears? do you think their production was unknown to nerv? i'm not really sure when they would have been produced because apparently the LoL was just hanging out in antarti...

Ugh I can't believe the anime forum world really is full of miserable middle aged men being abrasive to anyone who is not them =[
You guys win, I won't be posting in any threads I see you in anymore.

nor do I really understand what boyfrand was getting at by bringing it up, just pointing out that there is a narrator (maybe not in a traditional sense) who's reliability could be questioned. Rei's appearance tangent has gone on for so long it's not so easy to separate it from t...

Great. Thanks. Now I'm thinking about Evashit. How the fuck would NERV get rid of that ? Well, irl, the umbilical cord doesn't exactly remove waste, but does pump oxygen and nutrient depleted blood back to the mother... so maybe the umbilical cord pumps the evashit to the depths of the geof...

Do you read selectively? I'm saying that an author does not have to spell everything out for the audience.

I'd just like to take the oppurtunity to point out that when a writer wants to indicate that someone doesn't look the way they're being visually presented, they basically come out and say so even if it's really subtle. This is not necessarily true: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unrel...

Yes. She's a product of Lilith and thus looks weird, but not all that odd by Japanese standards. This isn't rocket science. You're wrong. The only people who care are people who already know what both are. Nobody else gives a shit. No, that's the stupid answer. The simple answer is ...

Could it be that "SEELE's children" only refers to Children manufactured by SEELE? That would seem to be Rei and Kaworu, if their backstories are anything like those of their NGE predecessors (and assumption I'm not quite willing to make, but still . . . ). If in fact they...

A much more clear-cut example is how Asuka reacted to Bardiel. Well, not really, since we didn't actually get to see her fight against it. But as far as we could tell, Asuka was prepared to take out Bardiel even while knowing Toji was in there. And she knew that 14-year-old. wow, that's an ...
