Re: Why Asuka initially rejects Shinji in Human Instrumentality
She called him pathetic because he was being pathetic in that moment. The scene didn't really have anything to do with their romantic feelings towards each other. Shinji tells her he wants to be with her forever before things escalate. Yeah I think Shinji was in a moment of desperation in that mome...

Re: Original Asuka
Alright, so I got this question that’s been bugging me a little, who was the original Shikinami really? Was she a normal human girl with actual parents, basically the NTE version of Asuka Soryu? Or was she actually the first bioengineered clone to be created, resulting the mass production of the Sh...

Re: I believe Mari is another (guardian) angel figure in Eva
There are many suggestions that this character is too good to be true, and the religious interpretations are definitely there. The name of Iscariot relates to being possessed by the devil and betraying Jesus Christ but that does not mean anything outside the fact she is a double agent for different ...

Re: Original Shikinami scene and the 9th Angel contamination scene
Yes I had a very interesting read of the other forum thread about https://forum.evageeks.org/thread/21350/Did-original-Shikinami-split-Asuka-from-the-angel/. I think its fair to say that there is a lot of interest in the Shikinami series but I can't feel as though it is not unraveled much in the sto...

Re: Last Movie You Watched
I thought I would review the phenomenon of Barbenheimer given the huge interest in both movies since their simultaneous release on 21 July 2023. They are vastly different from each other, and their box office success can only be attributed to their distinct qualities, which allow them to be packaged...

Re: Shin Kamen Rider
I was watching it today but did not finish. Not sure if I will watch all of it as the previous comments point out, it is not the best of what Anno does. I have only ever watch evangelion and none of his live action works. It just feels odd watching something that is made by an anime creator.

Re: Can we all agree that Asuka and the others just need a hug?
What they need is genuine relationships with each other. I do think Shinji's friendship with kaworu, kensuke, toji, and Asuka's friendship with the school rep go a long way. Especially during those crucial moments such as when Shinji met kaworu or camped out in the forest with kensuke, or when Asuka...

Re: Can we all agree that Asuka and the others just need a hug?
They are basically forced into working for the military and have to deal with active combat. Even if they were treated with the love and support that they need, they would still have to deal with the issues of puberty and the responsibility of the protecting the ignorant masses. Granted it would be ...

Re: Last Movie You Watched
The Flash (2023) has been shrouded with much speculation given that it sparks off the soft reboot of the DC extended universe (DCEU) into the new DC universe (DCU). With the Zach Snyder-era officially over, Walter Hamada stepping down as president, and the box office failures of recent DCEU movies,...

Re: Things you didn't notice until later viewings
Looks like the pairings of the characters are all revealed in the poster. Mari stands close to Shinji, Asuka and Kensuke are the both on the edge of the group and Rei and Kaworu are close together in the middle.

Re: End of Evangelion - are Shinji & Asuka parallels to Adam & Eve?
It's a bit of a stretch but it depends on what aspect of Adam and Eve you are investigating and whether you consider Shinji and Asuka to be the central characters of the show. Neither Asuka or Shinji ate the forbidden fruit but they are flawed individuals from the very beginning, so they could be re...

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?
Of course and that was their intention all along. Not to say that their intentions were malicious but these days cinema and art in general requires a certain ambiguity and provocation at the ending, to make it stand out from other movies and memorable, and the way they do it is to confuse the audien...

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?
I kind of understand how Mari is sort of the heroine that saves Shinji from ending up alone at the end of Rebuild, but I still feel she doesn't need to represent anything or serve that role in Evangelion. I would actually have been content with her as Asuka's sidekick, just like how Ritsuko is for M...

Re: -46h (GENERAL) [SPOILER]
It's crazy Funimation got rebranded like that, it was pretty big in the redub department. I remember sending them fan email before eva 4 was released in English asking them to use the original cast for the final film only to find out they weren't involved anymore.

Ep 21 049 A common theme in the evangelion series is social isolation, and it is interesting that cut 025 also shows Fuyutsuki as not being very social as well. It is very clear that this a major driver for Gendo's delusion to reunite with Yui again. 057 it is very interesting to get Fuyutsuki's pe...
