Re: Shinji Can (Not) Play Basketball

Memories the deleted EoE scene at the ruined school before evacuation with wheelchair Toji balling and Kensuke narrating while Shinji does nothing and drops the ball when it's passed.

Re: EvaGate: (Another) Controversy Behind ADV's Licensing of NGE

Collating some of my Discord thoughts from the larger implications of the text in relation to my timeline document etc: -It was taking "anime by storm" and was licensed before episode 20 even broadcast -Gainax was already at this point commited to the OVA concept which aligns with my disco...

Re: Shin Eva-Official Social Media: 3.33 You Can (Not) Be Localized

8+2 is there too. The Tweet implies that not everything there was going to be used, since there seems to be a spare 02 in there too with pink whites (maybe a textured underwater model?).

Re: -46h (GENERAL)

Eva-01 was on Earth during Third Impact because it got cored. The spear was removed prior to Third Impact because it ends up in Lilith/06, and this theoretical window of activation is probably related to the visual appearance of the FoI.

The tesseract always had Neo Nerv branding which is exclusively a post-post-Third Impact thing, and -46h happens only within days of it.

Most of those are directly stated, some can be inferred, many are designed to be mysteries and unanswerable.

Re: Making sense of the impact trigger and the new lore in Rebuild [now also feat. -46h spoilers]

What was Mark.06? An Eva developed secretly by Seele to have under their direct control to carry out Third Impact eventually. It being merged with Lilith and holding her decapitated head during Third Impact shows that this was succesful. Once it's no longer needed, it peaces out. What was the K...

While there may have been a human reference at some stage in the process, every single one of these is a 3DCG model.

Re: Making sense of the impact trigger and the new lore in Rebuild [now also feat. -46h spoilers]

Some notes/comments on the topic after a fresh rewatch: There's still the matter of what is Mark.06. I think the implication of the sideways cross, the streak of blood on the moon, and some other deleted thing which I completely forget, implied that those are all Mark.06 and is one of the Adams Ves...

Can anyone translate the Introduction/Forward page in the booklet? I always liked reading his view of the project overall with each home video release and I would like to see his final thoughts on the last film now that it's in the hands of people in their homes. https://i.imgur.com/pRMbDnD.jpg Fir...

Re: Making sense of the impact trigger and the new lore in Rebuild [now also feat. -46h spoilers]

Some may know I'm planning an Eva 2.5 thing and I'm loathe to mention any of it since it's just a pseudo-fanfic thing but it does force me to look at every piece of material, as logically as I can, while maintaining something of character and narrative - and can give me a fraction of alternative ins...

Re: Making sense of the impact trigger and the new lore in Rebuild [now also feat. -46h spoilers]

Thank you for updating this; I think it's a great resource. Per the changelog , I think you added "seabound," among other things. I remember that -46h shows Wunder in the sea near the Operation US launch barges two days before 3.0 (just before Midori's flashback), but I don't remember tha...

Re: Making sense of the impact trigger and the new lore in Rebuild [now also feat. -46h spoilers]

There is a general widespread misunderstanding about both N3I and 3I and the timescales and order of which things are occuring so I think it's worth checking this bit of self-indulgence. Mercifully I'd already unfanfic'd most of this already and -46h didn't actually disrupt anything, and alarmingly ...

Re: Making sense of the impact trigger and the new lore in Rebuild [now also feat. -46h spoilers]

To go even beyond that, Actual Third Impact happens, but Kaji also died to "stop" it. With Lilith getting double speared at 3I seemingly being down to him, then Kaji also paused 3I. When Shinji removed the spears in Q, he unpaused/undid whatever Kaji intended, allowing Third Impact to comp...

Re: Making sense of the impact trigger and the new lore in Rebuild [now also feat. -46h spoilers]

I think you really gotta think of Third Impact as one event that happened to be paused and resumed, and that "Near" and "Actual" are just monikers rather than deliberate phases.

Re: -46h (GENERAL) [SPOILER]

Well considering that it doesn't quite make sense, I'd be inclined to think that it's a continuity error or a quirk of the Japanese script where they're saying N3I specifically but it's stated in a "He started N3I, the consequences of which killed my family" kind of way. In fact, Reichu's ...

Also, didn't Sakura/Toji say they lost their parents in N3I (as per the shooting Shinji/Misato scene) because I'm really not remembering anything for Midori beyond 3I generally?

Project Shin Evangelion is on a sheet in the package with a QR code asking to tune in 21:00 JST on release day. The sheet seems to have an itinerary of staff members and it's an "evaluation" of the project, probably a retrospective on making the movie now it's been released. I wouldn't exp...

There also seems to be something on Khara's website linked via QR code in the packages that'll be available 8th March 21:00 JST, some kind of retrospective/summary.
