Right after that scene, Mari teases Asuka for going to see Shinji, just to see his face? Also, maybe Asuka is jealous that Shinji saved Rei from an angel but did not save her from Bardiel in the same way? But, the fact that Asuka references Misato's title makes me think that she has some kind of...

Does Asuka have some resentment towards Misato? When Shinji is asking about Rei, she says, according to some fansub, "All this fuss over just one person. This world doesn't have time to cater to your ego. Isn't that right, Captain Katsuragi?" Do you think she is also referring to M...

i noticed that in the preview, after jumping over the hill or whatever, the ground is a bunch of AT fields? what's up with that?

i don't think there's any indication of WHEN the students in the class all became eligible pilots. as you pointed out, Asuka was selected as a pilot very early on, meaning her mother's soul became part of an evangelion early on. perhaps the students in the class became eligible to be pil...

To answer the broader point -- like most things, we'll judge on a case by case basis. Some of the existing threads probably would benefit from being refreshed; others will get retired to give a clean sheet for the home video wave. Yes, this is the type of reassurance that I was looking for. I w...

Hi yeah, evageeks can have whatever policy it wants for normal thread necromancy. I am specifically talking about the Q subforum after the dvd is released. I would love to read thorough discussions, but not have to sift through many posts that are misinformed because they are based off camrips. What...

When the 3.33 dvd comes out, will everyone be forced into posting in existing threads about certain topics? One thing I very much do not like about evageeks as a whole is that many people push users into posting in threads that are often months or years old to be "on topic." It seems lost ...

It's amazing that you noticed the screws on the doorknob! I haven't watch the series in a while, but I watched 2.22 last night, and Misato explains that there's no locks because in Japan, respecting privacy is a virtue. And as we know, Shinji is not doing something virtuous. Also, I neve...

Well, Yui's complete soul was transferred to 01, but only part of Kyoko's soul was in 02 (until some point later?). How does that part play into Seele, Gendo's or Nerv's plans? I think only having part of Kyoko in there would be better for Seele because then they would only h...

A prequel about the far that has nothing to do with the characters in evangelion would be pretty good. i bet launching their seeds into space got pretty dramatic! as for a prequel involving the characters we already know, i could deal with a short film as bonus material on a dvd. anything more than ...

I didn't think Seele intended to have the MP evas stab themselves with the fake lances, I think it's something Rei/Lilith made them do after taking over 3I/starting Instrumentality. Did having Rei faces at the time mean that they were under control of Rei/Lilith? How do the MP evas turning i...

Dr. Katsuragi was probably purely concerned about the scientific aspects of the S2 Engine, rather than SEELE's interest in Adam as a method of performing their version of Instrumentality. Yeah, I totally think so too. Misato is on board with Nerv having no idea what the Evas are actually for, b...

oh wow Kendrix, excellent post! I don't think Misato and Shinji were able to figure out who Ritsuko was referring to because they were facing the horror that Rei is actually a bunch of clones, and then immediately facing the next horror that all her clones were being destroyed. As we can see in ...

⋅  Odds are we are supposed to connect this to the fluorescent blue Angel that Asuka had a close encounter with, and not get mired in the technicalities of what wavelengths of light her eyepatch absorbs. Sorry, I should use an emoticon or something to indicate when I'm being silly/tro...

"Longinus for Adams, Cassius for Lilith" is one possibility. However, this doesn't take into account the fact that a Cassius-type was apparently found with Mark.06 (very likely one of the Adams from 2I) on the Moon. ... Just to clear up the terminology: the Angel-like entities...

I was thinking that both eye sockets glow blue, but whatever colour Asuka's right eye's iris is makes the light appear to be green because of the iris tint?

Is it confirmed somehow that there are two Cassius type spears? I previously assumed that the four spears in the above screen shot corresponded to the four Adams, and then Lilith has her own spears. With that thinking, wouldn't the total spear count be 5? With at least 2 of them being Longinus a...

Thanks for the thoughtful responses, and thanks for linking to that thread, Reichu.

Does anyone think Fuyu had any idea about Gendo's affairs? Would it be of any consequence?

loving the screencaps, keep em coming plz!

Well, yes. I'm saying Yui's death was in 2004, but we aren't shown Gendo and Naoko's affair until 2010, which was when the MAGI were being completed, and Gehirn was reorganized into NERV. Unless Evangelions have some sort of ability to perceive their surroundings while in containmen...
