For a long time, I've been getting extremely depressed when reading commentary on the rebuild films. I wasn't sure why at first, but gradually it came to me that reading fan commentary on why Shinji is hated has been deeply affecting me personally. I'm not sure why, but I see myself in S...

From what I understand, Australians just don't fret as much about sub vs. dub in general, and this type of question is likely to be posed much more on the Internet than it is in real life as well. So the attitudes of Americans on the Internet can't be extrapolated to that of people you meet ...

Reading Berserk as I finished the anime recently and have been quite obsessed with it ever since that moment. I have to say, Mozgus is the most badass inquisitor of all time. All in all, the level of art Miura puts into this work is incredible, far beyond most other manga I've read. https://fbcd...

Just finished Berserk... uh... http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzck64Wuze1rnsodxo1_500.png I have to say, I actually agree with tumblr on this one. You can think of Griffith as a cool villain, but a lot of people still seem to think he's still a sympathetic character after killing his entire a...

The Evangelion version of the Eclipse happens, and Shinji sacrifices everyone important to him for the option of infinite power... More likely, it'll end up being suicide, because I see no way for any redemption storyline left here, regardless of how responsible he actually is for Third Impact. ...

Another reason a lot of this could only work post third-impact is that Japan as a nation isn't very fond of therapy (although that attitude is changing, and we have no idea what it would be like in a post second impact world). Due to this, it could be somewhat difficult to get someone li...

Nuclear Lunchbox wrote:I think EoE is enough of an example as it is.

Due to EoE having pretty out of the ordinary circumstances in both cases of Shinji going after Asuka, it seems like it would be difficult to find the answer to this question from there.

Hunter x Hunter (2011) and have made it through episode 35 so far. Hisoka is one of the most glorious characters I've ever seen in animated form. Out of the main cast though, I'd say Kurapika is my favorite so far. Which is why its so annoying he's all but shafted for the Heaven&...

Schindler's List - My favorite film from Steven Spielberg, and quite different from some of his other well known films (although, as Lincoln and to a lesser degree Saving Private Ryan shows - he's no stranger to films of this type). One of the best stories of the horrors of war out ...

Just finished Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. It was a great series, even if it seems to slide under the radar for some people.

I would say that calling Asuka a tsundere is simplifying her character moreso than it is outright lying, but that might be stretching it. At any rate if you look outside certain types of anime *cough*shounen*cough* plenty of female characters in anime do have their own motivations. At any rate, if S...

...who needs an excuse?

The issue with Rei is that there seem to be certain particular ways in which her personality is changed. Either people make her more like one of the Rei clones (e.g. Yuki Nagato) who tend to have somewhat different personalities themselves (including facets such as secretly being strongl...

I still can't believe DEEN is the same studio that made Trust and Betrayal. Then again, hardly any anime studios have completely consistent quality, so then again...

Madoka is the Evangelion of anime. Although I do wonder how popular Madoka will be 10 years from now. It looks like it will be one of those "classic" series in the future.

Right now I just watched Mononoke. Medicine Seller best girl.

So over the past few months I've discovered just how big NGE was and have been getting more and more involved with it. So I thought I'd join this forum where we can [s:3kw5ftga]fanwank[/s:3kw5ftga] unravel the many mysteries of it together.

So I'm here now!
