Amazing pics! I really liked the concept in the Asuka one. That guy is awesome, indeed lol

The tricky thing about Q is that we musn't forget that some NGE facts are no longer facts in Rebuild. Shikinami's background may be very different from what we are used to think. So how much of Soryu's backstory can we use to decifer Shikinami's? I'm sticking to analysing the vis...

Someone probably posted this before, but you can count the RAF-like pin on her hat as another reference:

The glasses are the same as the one Mari uses in the previous movie as well (in Q she's using a slightly different model). Besides that, there's some organic chemistry stuff going on in the background.

The red glasses are such an obvious thing that it just doesn't fit Anno's style in my opinion. I'm settling with "Mari is older than we think but not the woman in the picture" for now. I was also very curious about the writing in the back, it would be nice if someone could figu...

I don't like this theory either, but everything in this movie seems to suggest it ._. Thinking biologically, she could easily pass for a 16 or 18 year old being in her early twenties. If you consider that Yui is around 24 in that picture, it is plausible. Specially if the woman in the picture is...

This was probably posted before, but man, I got a really strong feeling that Mari referred to Yui when she said "original". It makes no sense to be Rei. Geez, is Mari an oba-san? Why would she know anything about Yui?!

But he's not a selfish, completely pleasure-principle-driven closet misantrophe without any shred of empathy for other people, and yes, that is being claimed here, if you would care to scroll up. I'm sorry if my post ended up crossing the discussion, as I just posted things that were going ...

Well, isn't that what the law says though? Maybe the world really is cruel after all. But I by no means disregarded his feelings, I just don't think he is the only one in pain right now and reading that around the forum kind of bothered me a bit. Sorry if that came across more agressive on S...

So, I needed a place to post this and I think this is the right thread for it: Shinji is not Jesus, that role is taken by Kaworu. Stop treating him like it already. Not meaning any harm doesn't equal not inflicting any harm. So just because he had all these great feelings of hope and of fixing t...

I do feel bad for Shinji and for the first time can really understand his suffering. But the fact is that this kid started TWO impacts. Ok, he didn't mean it, but does that make it ok? No, it doesn't. And he is aware of that. That's what makes the end of Q so powerful for me. Shinji know...

Agreed. Spoilers ruined the atmosphere of the first half of the movie. If I hadn't read anything, I would probably feel like I was in Shinji's shoes all along. It is an important part of the experience to be just as clueless as the protagonist, and I lost that. So instead of following his sh...

I sort of freaked out a little when this picture showed up in the screen 'cause I thought it was Mari herself too. But she is clearly Mari's mom. What has been bothering me since is:3jugjwr2 why the hell do I think of Asuka when I look at this lady? Is it the hair? I don't know what they...

I think her not leaving him behind is just like Misato being unable to pull the trigger on him. Both of them treat him with pretty much the same animosity for the whole of the projection, yet they still show some sort of expectations from him. I wouldn't say they hate him. I think they're hu...

I can't find it I even tried looking on those boards. Hate going there.

Can someone PM this to me? Need. Watch. Now.

Sorry, I have to disagree here. Sohryu and Shikinami are clearly different characters. Yes, they have the same personality basis, but the different backgrounds lead to distinguished intensities on some of their traits, resulting in two separate characters by the age of 14. Shikinami is even portraye...

I'm throwing my money at the screen right now. WHY WON'T YOU TAKE MY MONEY? GIVE IT TO ME! GIVE ME THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW. WHY ? WHY WON'T YOU LET ME WATCH IT? OH LORD, PLEASE LET ME WATCH IT. ok. it's gone. I'm ok. My whole perception of Q has just changed dramatically. Now I und...

Does anyone have any idea why is it so difficult to camrip this movie? I remember that it didn't take nearly as long as this for a camrip when 2.0 was out. This is getting on my nerves. I've already rewatched 1.11, 2.22 and the tv series...

Yep, that one. Thank you :]
It seems nothing has changed though, so we are stuck with ambiguity for now.

Sorry, for the little detour to another topic.
