Indeed, many of the films that movie critics hold up as classic examples of ace cinematography include lingering shots, slow pans with little action, etc. What's more, the deeper the subject of a film the more it's pace needs to be slowed to give the audience a chance to ponder what is happe...

Hell, If I knew I could get a custom paint job out of the deal I'd have let an angel cut off Unit 02's arms and head months ago. Thanks for the tip, Wondergirl!

Did you also opt for the tramp-stamp option?

Curious. Pilot Shoryu, does this man carry the Yaoi bludgeoning tool to discourage homosexual acts, or to enforce them?

the little sketches are the most interesting to me: 3=Rei in towel 6=Misato in daisy dukes on the floor 7=Asuka in sundress/nightie held from behind 8=hand on boob 9=Asuka on her back in blue short-shorts... and hand between her legs? 10=Misato in panties on all fours. 12=legs are kneeling, not sitt...

no, it's body soup. the soul is kinda... dispersed? Phased?

Thus, I reason that AT field strength can be increased with penis size.

Shamshiel experimented with this theory with much disapointment.

it's actually much easier to make them out if you just watch them in motion. I think Reichu nailed the last image, personally.

I'm inclined to blame the differences on angels being made of the ever-vague wave/particular matter rather than a fundamental difference between souls. Thus Evas can project a human ATF because it is bound within that funky matter, and if an angel were to be composed of LCL it would -not- be abl...

Fixed that for ya.

I don't have it uploaded anywhere, but currently I'm sporting a little 'shoped number featuring Bob Ross and a glorious painting of a napalm drop over Vietnam. He looks very proud... a 'happy little accident' indeed.

I'd have to say Kensuke due to complete uselessness. He gets a name in the credits and yet is no better developed by the end of the series than random girl #2 who giggles at Shinji from the pool.

Aoba and Kagi are pretty close though.

technically everything, no matter how big, is still made of quantum-scale objects. Now, typically the many energy field interactions will work to normalize those quantum fluctuations into a stable form but if wave/particle matter is really weird it might be able to get around those restrictions. ......

I think Rei could be anywhere/anywhen, but instead just watches Shinji's life. She only reveals herself to him those two times (and in dreams), but she probably stretches herself to experience the entirety of his life all at once.

My picks:

2 - [new], Matarael (but actually challenging!), Bardiel

3 - Zeruel, [new](Shinji not available), Liliel (someone else falls in/dies)

4 - Tabris, Adam & Lilith tag-team

She is quick to tell Shinji that his data files for EVA-01 can be overwritten with her's at a moments notice... hm. The look she gave him in passing in the hospital hallway in ep2 actually looked a little harsh to me, as if she was silently accusing him of something. In ep3 she seems to be poin...

Iron Rooster wrote:^I'm in the group that hates most.

Hardly surprising. If the vast majority of content is utter crap in any medium, why should anime be an exception?

Explanation 1: Noobs ruin everything. (Irony? no, I've been an EVA fan since 2000... rebuild brought me back) Anything that was made before they became fans is assumed by the swelling tide of late-comers to not be very good, because if it was then obviously they would have become fans e...

Well, I don't know what to tell you then. It seemed fairly straightforward to me, is thematically and symbolically appropriate, fits all the verified information, and explains away a lingering mystery. [Edit: sarcasm removed... though I believe I was actually fairly tame.] So far many (not a...

Angels don't Tang. Okay, so is there a theory floating around here somewhere that does account for the the water at the south pole being red, or is this just one of those "because it is" sorts of situations? What actually happened ultimately followed no one's scenario, but all tha...

Why speculate on something that is pointless? Perhaps I have grossly misunderstood the vast majority of this forum's purpose. :) One is used in the show to describe the specific matter that Angels were made of, that is different than regular matter, that also happened to have the quality th...

Sure, because they copied the only form they had available: the combined one. Besides, if you can copy both, why wouldn't you?
