Damn skippy. I just finally went and bought myself the Platinum Edition and whatever the heck Manga's current version of the D&R / EoE release is. I see no reason to fork over two-fifty C's for a few useless extras.

Extras be darned; I just want the anime.

The Shinji + Misato thing makes me think of Onegai Teacher for some reason.

The only couple I think I can approve of is Toji and Hikari. Why? Because neither of them is required to spend large amounts of time in the line of fire and neither of them seems to have any overt mental problems.

You needn't feel so alone here, with at least two other diagnosed aspies, and a lot of other high scores on the Baron-Cohen scale. I recall seeing a topic on that subject somewhere around here last week. I took the test and scored 39 out of 50. I'm also supposed to be 95% Rei compatible, na...

It's not that bad! Really!

All you need is some patience and a couple hours' worth of free time.

I see where your going at, but in episode 19 Rei went after the angel without being told, even though she was damaged and they wanted to keep her safe. True, but she could also have done it because she knew that Shinji was no longer in NERV and supposed to be hiding in a shelter instead of piloting...

The BSD Daemon is cute. The other thing is a good example of why I have yet to work up the courage to approach 4chan. My avatar is an action shot of my favorite handgun, the version made in my home state no less, as captured from my GitS: SAC 2nd GIG DVD. My signature sums up one of the reasons I ha...

Hong Kong? Cool.

"Anime fans: we're everywhere!"

As for me, the current FNG: male, eighteen and currently trapped in the economic dead zone that is Machias, Maine.

If there are any other anime fans in this state, they must all live north of Fort Kent or west of Portland.

Reichu has already suffered for our sins, and said " Suffering through GOS should be considered a rite of passage for NGE geeks " Having recently done just that, I cannot disagree with Reichu's statement. That said, GoS did have some nice artwork. What it lacked was animation. And int...

Shes kind and willing to die for anyone. While she might be willing to die for anyone if Gendo told her to do so, I find it a little difficult to imagine her sacrificing herself in place of anyone apart from Shinji (and perhaps a few others) in the absence of orders from on high. For exampl...

I honestly don't see why some people get so upset over such things. Perhaps it's Pavlovian conditioning that makes them do it. I only got into anime about a year and a half ago and am now about as mature as I'm likely to be, which is a real shame. I can watch the whole of NGE, plus movie...
