There may be some cultural aspects here, as to whether gardening is viewed as a masculine or feminine activity. Go back a hundred years here, and in any household that ran to more than a maid of all work, you'd expect the gardener to be a male rustic, equally at home with digging the root veget...

For me at least it was because I was never a person to actually participate in forums rather than just read the threads on them (I only joined the EvaGeeks forum 11 or so days ago and this will be my third post so go easy) , and I've always liked discussing things with people, even more...

^ Not at all. There must be more of us out there.

I felt tempted to make the "you're NOT alone" easy joke but managed to refrain from it =P

Hmmm. Why would Kaji care about letting her know that in this scene of all times? Going back and watching it again, I sense a planned timing in Misato's line and the Scene Cut so that after she's finished saying that sentence the scene cuts. Considering every other clue it would make sense ...

I mean unless you are entertained by angst and dysfunction, then NGE is right up your alley. LOL I do. That's the best part about NGE. Watching all those broken "pieces" trying to "fit" together to feel less alone and usually failing miserably. It's just like reality. Th...

(...) not "this is something quintessential about my character." Maybe it means Kaji has an OCD :lol: Now I'm just being silly. One could argue that even little gestures pile up together to make up a character, even one with many masks... still I feel inclined to agree with th...

Because right as Misato says "I don't know anything about your private life " Kaji sorts out the coffee cans. Clean coffee cans = private life = clean private life. I dunno, but its plausible. That's very interesting and I haven't considered it before now. Thanks a lot for cla...

I'm not attacking your opinion. But it's a bit harsh to flat out dislike real people for being emotionless/motivation-less. Many can't help it and it's often a result of what they have endured in life. The show does aknowledge that is a flaw with her personality hence why we are sup...

I'm with you on a Asuka but Why do you dislike Rei If I may ask? Well, she's too submissive. Doesn't seem to have any hobbies or interests besides being efficient... that alone personifies what I dislike the most in people and she's like an exaggerated version of it. I mean Asuka is...

As long as the new music of choice evoked the same feelings in the listener as the original and it didn't clash with the motion picture in the bg, sure. Why not? I mean the soundtrack is AMAZING and all, but since it's about making the viewer feel things, if it's different but still beau...

The girl I had a HUGE crush on when I was 12 was sickly obsessed with "this amazing Asuka character" from a TV show I couldn't watch because my cable carrier didn't have that one channel... so I bitched until my mom switched providers (saving her some bucks in the process) ...

Yeah, my expectations for Eva in 2015 are pretty low. . . Anno probably won't release it in 2015, to avoid having to compete with and lose the box office war with Star Wars VII. Anno probably won't release anything in 2015 because everyone would be expecting him to do something special for ...

If you perform a role consistently does it really matter anymore whether it's not 'the real you' as far as the rest of the world is concerned? I was actually thinking exactly that after finishing my previous post and I agree. If you (viewer) know better and want to state that Mi...

^ Like most questions in this world, the answer is probably "It depends..." (in my book, at least). It still comes down to whether you're applying Western or Oriental judgement on her. I mean, even if most of what's been pointing towards her being a slut was "an act&qu...

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to ask a question on this general topic and this particular thread seemed like the right place for it. Never before I read this thread, had the idea of introducing someone to Evangelion (or any other fandom for that matter) crossed my mind. Mainly, ...

"Traditional values" are still widely spread in Japan (...) but Japan is still a place where ppl usually marry early, and relics of these old structures probably remain. That. To me, the key is the environment surrounding the character. It would be silly to analyze a Japanese char...

As a sub kind of guy, the whole dub (mostly EoE) is kinda funny to me (...) *Exactly that. The dubs. Both the English one and especially the Spain Spanish dub. When you're used to watching everything in its native tongue, listening to the dubbed versions is like instantly turnin...

I'd suppose that the "broken stuff" is more identifiable with people who've been through it and so they're more forgiving and understanding. I still stand by my previous statements, and I'd still call Anno unnecessarily anvil-heavy, but the neurological angle is a good dea...

What makes you deduce that from it? I'm not antagonizing you, just trying to understand your line of thought because it poked my curiosity.

I get that these characters all need therapy and I do sympathize with folk like Shinji and even Misato despite my hang-ups about their characters. But just like real-life, there comes a time when an individual needs to nut-up, shut-up and do something. They can't just hang on to their problems ...
