I’m still on board with Rei.

You guys are right. All this thinking about Evangelion is currently leading me in circles. I’m attempting to deconstruct my understanding of how I felt during EoE, but in the process it keeps bringing back up the overall subject, and reinforces my skepticism. I should just let these troublesome thou...

It's fiction ; so it's free not to mirror the real world. It's fine to get sucked in to a fictional realm as part of the process of enjoying the story, but you need to be able to separate yourself from it as well. At first, it was hard to separate myself from Shinji because I decided to relate and ...

Did all of humanity really surrender their individuality by choice though? The choice to begin and end Instrumentality both rested on Shinji, so in a way, he made that choice for them. They had no say in it, it just happened, and if they resisted their AT Fields were forcibly brought down by the Re...

The fact that you believe that everyone turning into LCL is equivalent to dying shows that you don't actually understand what happened, because if you had watched the anime it explains the lore and mechanics of LCL and AT fields and how what happens to everyone is not in fact death or a death equiv...

What if I don’t need Evanglion to make myself more emotionally stable? There’s a quote I like to go by. “You can never get rid of your demons, you can only learn to live with them. Eventually, your demons will learn to live with you.” Thus far, this demon has been a really tough one to combat. I fin...

Shinji is clearly aware and present all the time. He never dies. He just comes close. For that matter, nobody else dies, either. They continue to live on as disembodied souls, because of GNR gathering them all. Even the people who got get tanged, so they are part of it. Think of it like going aslee...

Seven months now, and I can still feel them talking to me. I usually pay them no mind, but they’re still there. “You are me. And I am you.” Shinji says. “You should be ashamed for who you are you retard.” Asuka says. “Your mental illness will destroy your world.” Rei says. I don’t want to bury the m...

The best I can see for him is for him to do a heroic sacrifice, but of course, Anno will never let that happen because "only by living can you find happiness", which is quite insulting to tons of people who have given up their lives to save people they loved. Spoiler alert: Now that you m...

Just stop having literally the worst fitting character type for her to deal with in life, face her just a tiniest, littleest bit less straightforwardly and head-on, smile to her attempts at berating you at first, make her realize you are not putting up with her shit the way she is used to and, rath...

Please, don't misuse the word psychopath so much. Ultimately, it is a disorder, with pretty clearly defined effects. It's not simply interchangable with "evil and lacking self-awareness". I don't mind it being used like that occasionally, but when in the same conversation both meanings ha...

I don't know, she is just ... weird. And not in the good way. You know, like people who put on a quirky/edgy facade - and then you find out that, actually, no, that wasn't a facade and the sentiment turns from "Wtf is going on, this seems strange but fun" to "Jeez, this is actually c...

I had another dream about Evangelion. But this time was different. I wasn’t Shinji this time around, I was Kaworu. I saw myself as Kaworu, and above me was Shinji, piloting Eva 01 in Dogma Terminal. At the same time, I saw myself as Kaworu wearing the kill collar witnessing the Fourth Impact with S...

In manga / anime exaggerated things often happen, but you must not consider them exclusively in a narrative and realistic sense, especially when the author himself doesn't consider them seriously, or explicitly declares that events must also be interpreted in a metaphorical sense. An artwork is not...

Many say what he made a commentary on the world, but the way I see it, he most likely just wanted to finish his story in a way what would be the most honest to himself, to his hidden inner self. It is the most emotionally traumatizing work he's done, as a result. I am confused on what you’re attemp...

I’m pretty sure Rei was introduced in NGE before Asuka’s appearance, unless there’s something I missed.

You have identified yourself with Shinji so much that you are now having nightmares.You have projected yourself in the pains of the film and introjected them inside you, at the same time these pains in the film reminded you of your personal pains. You’re right. All while I thought about this, I had...

She can be very loyal yes. But she does not pilot unit 00 for Gendo she does it for her link with humanity. That said I think it would be very hard to make her do something she doesn't see the point to, she is portrait as a vegetarian pointing abouth having a notrious difficult personality. Rei mak...

Sure, Asuka has ginger red hair, lovely eyes, and a feisty personality but let’s face it, her tragic background and personality has resulted in her being verbally and physically abusive and manipulative to her roommate Shinji. While her actions are understandable given her tragic background, as she’...
