Wow, those Tarot Cards are pretty awesome. Much better than the official ones could ever imagine to be, even though yours are in black and white. Quite impressive! ^_^ I can't wait to see the other 75 cards in all their awesomeness. :yippee: Haha, so far Ive got 1/78 in color thanks so much for say...

Here are the first three of seventy eight cards I intend to do. After seeing how abysmal (And uncompleted) the official tarot deck was I decided something must be done, I see that Im not the first to think that. The final versions will of course be colored, I'm going to base the imagery on NGE+EoE e...

Is it possible Misato never joined in the human instrumentally project? She, like Gendo, was killed prior to the actual Rei-soul-grabbing, and that seemed to have excluded Gendo from joining in on the LCL party. I always thought it remained a bit ambiguous as to whether or not she took part. If she...

"It's not crucial to the plot anyway" -- NONE of this is crucial to the plot. Like, however the hell Misato survives 2I doesn't matter at all, just the fact that she did . I'm tellin' ya, an A.T. Field did it. Well now you're not even contributing to the discussion and just being salty.

Because she's the perfect submissive waifu

It's always been my belief that Sadamoto was a big fan or Rei, and not so much a fan of Asuka. There are interviews where he talks about how much he wants to draw Rei, and see Rei cosplayers, he doesnt seem to show the same interest in Asuka. In contrast, Anno doesn't seem to care very much for Rei ...

I do, and I in fact was going to make a thread on this. I think Anno did drugs in the production of Evangelion. The concept of the AT field is something straight out of an acid trip. However, I believe Anno ingested a strong dose of hallucinogenic mushrooms when producing the End of Evangelion. I h...

That's an interesting theory, it's possible- but would sort of contrast the scene in the same episode of them in the stairs when Shinji accidentally peeks at Asuka, and she yells at him and calls him a pervert. Of course Asuka does show off her body to Shinji multiple times to get his attention in l...

I for one, would gladly join the cult of Anno.

Asuka. Good looks, and a college graduate at 14? Absolutely. Also Bilingual. Not having real parents is pretty awful though, at least Shinji has memories of Yui and a less distant Gendo. Still, Asuka has been the character that I think most resembles me, especially when I was a teenager. I would def...

A couple years ago I dreamed that my father was visiting me, and then an Angel appeared near my town. It was light blue and sort of radiant, it didn't have a clear form and was sort of floating sort of not floating. It was perched over to the northwest, following that mirror versions of it appeared ...

I've heard that they're a reference to the Japanese creation myth, which seems a little more germane to NGE's themes than LSD. :tongue: Well if you believe in Stoned Ape theory than most of the symbolism in NGE can be traced back to hard hallucinogens, notably Psilocybe/Amanita mushrooms and also P...

One of my childhood friends had an older brother who was extremely into NGE, but he told us we were too young to understand the story. Regardless I know I saw scenes of Death and Rebirth along with reading a few manga with said friend. I wouldn't really think about it again until I was a few years o...

A lot of the scenes in NGE almost directly tie in to common themes/hallucinations Ive heard others report and some that I've seen myself whilst under the influence of strong hallucinogens such as LSD and Mushrooms. However, these same hallucinations can be induced by being sleep deprived, starved, o...

I firmly believe that the entire UFO thing was concocted by the Air Force and the intelligence community ran with it as a COINTELPRO-style operation to discredit people leaking actual credible info about secret government shenanigans, to the point that the CIA and FBI have purposely associated the ...

The first conspiracy theory I believed in was the UFO/alien coverup, I guess I still believe in parts of it. What was at Roswell? What was project bluebook? Who were the majestic 12? It seemed pretty well respected since that shit was up on the history channel, and a lot of people close to me believ...

A lot of extremely good points--actually, by this analysis the three white title cards form a three part arc, which is especially pertinent giving Eva's love of trios in symbolism that you already gave so many examples of. I know I said I wasn't going to argue about the Asuka-suicide thing,...

I've been thinking about this lately and I think another way to look at this is to analyze what every episode has that these three episodes do not. For instance, I can be confident that the symbolism has nothing to do with Rei since we are seen the death of Rei I, and the death of Rei II, outsid...

The "white means death" thing is all very well and good but that doesn't really fit episode 15 either, since nobody dies there and it also doesn't really portend anyone's death. So anything to do with "white means death" would only make sense for episode 24 and AIR. ...

Didn't see this until today, oops. The connection to Terminal Dogma was one of my first thoughts too, but you might be on to something with relating it to Asuka's character arc. Yes, episode 24 has the scene with her in the bathtub. And then of course the business in all of Evangelion Air w...
