Re: Canonical Kanji for Asuka's name?

This is interesting. Eva's insistence on giving the characters exclusively katakana given names has always puzzled me, since every other anime/manga I know of has no problem providing kanji when applicable. In Crying Man Reichu has this be an intentional feature of the worldbuilding- an alternate hi...

Re: The Black Moon and its Impact on Ocean Volatility

IIRC, after Third Impact in EoE, the Black Moon that was buried beneath Tokyo-3 is currently positioned at or near Low Earth Orbit. The Black Moon vanishes at the end of the Impact, exploding into souls. I assume Lilith's intent was the same as petrifying the MP-Evas- to prevent anyone from trying ...

The source is here; it's from a part with an AU where Rei is older than Shinji and... is raised by Fuyutsuki? There's a lot more to it than just that.

Re: The flaws and/or artistic validity of Shin and NTE as a whole

Every character I really care about has been neglected or destroyed in NTE. Ritsuko? Barely exists. Reduced to one more bridge bunny among the fifty new others. Also I don't like her new haircut. Rei? Important up until the end of Ha, and then barely extant past that. Despite being Lilith she has no...

Re: Once more with feeling -- Yui is an evil bitch

Yui already had plans about Instrumentality well before disappearing, and we see a Yui-Fuyu alliance against Seele being formed well before the Contact Experiment, and given what intimate terms Gendou is on with both of them, I can't imagine he was somehow not aware of his own wife's ideas. Moreover...

Re: Is no one bothered by the sexualization of the characters in EVA?

As far as the wickedness of fantasizing about fictional characters is wicked or not, I state that it's not wicked/evil as much as just escapist, wrong and immature, ultimately playing a part in mankind's collective escapism and refusal to recognize the issues of the world. Individual humans are ess...

Re: Is no one bothered by the sexualization of the characters in EVA?

There's no need for an artist to sexualize a depiction of a beautiful girl, or a beautiful boy. If the depiction depicts their physical & spiritual beauty well, this will incite admiration & desire in the receptive viewer by itself. Because a sexy entity of the desired sex will naturally be ...

Re: Is episode 7 skippable?

IIRC., those are not members of SEELE but the Human Instrumenetality Committee - a suborganization which doesn't even know what's really going on, but I could be mistaken. The HIC are refered to as Seele and are following in episode 14, even though they don't appear in monolith form until episode 2...

Re: How did Kaworu born?

My personal belief is that Dr Katsuragi tried to make a similar item to Rei using Adam. This then caused the Second Impact due to the experiment 'failing'.. and in turn caused Kaworu's birth. Then soon after Gendo took that idea and created Rei without causing another Impact. I also think the reaso...

Re: Pre-Episode 1 timeline headaches - Gendo & Rei's injuries

There's no reason to think that the test where Rei was injured was her first time piloting. Misato says that Rei took seven months to learn to synchronize with her Eva. She's obviously not going to be talking about the disaster of a few days before as if it were successful synchronization. The test ...

^Because Yui is a full-on character. At least in the original. In Rebuild before Final, aren't the only references to her being in the Eva the berserk against Sachiel and the Fuyu shougi scene?
