I liked the ending though. I mean the ending of the dive, where Asuka seems to open up a little bit to Shinji for once.

and it's pretty obvious (to me, anyway) that it's dumped onto her simply for "narrative convenience". If the show wasn't scripted around a central cast and was trying to portray the organization more realistically, Ritsuko's "as the plot dictates" onus wo...

I'm going back to Ritsuko now. As I said before, I don't think it's impossible but improbable enough. Not to mention the inconvenience of having one scientist in charge of everything. Imagine she dies, what do we do now?! On the other hand it's easier to keep things secret if you rel...

Ontology and pure Cosmology are just as unscientific as religion. Unscientific doesn't mean "it's stupid", it just means that it can't be tested because it deals with concepts that are either too abstract or too big to test. In the case of Ontology, it's the study of existe...

Ok, in your first quote you're basically saying I'm right.

The second one the answer is no.

And I will not argue more about this unless Ritsuko gets her own thread.

Sorry about the long tangent guys. I am very stubborn, specially when I'm right (that is all the time) :sweatdrop: Pills. Maybe vitamins that she needs to compensate for the fact that she doesn't eat meat! Doubt she would need all those pills though, if anything. If she doesn't d...

Nope, quantum mechanics are demonstrable through experiments (science). Metaphysics are unfalsifiable, therefore, unscientific. Theism is a branch of metaphysics.

Which is not particularly uncommon. Isn't it? I remember when I did an internship at a neurophysiology lab. The lead expert was a genius. He discovered the function of a particular neuropeptide that led to a lot of research in cardiostimulatory neuropeptides. Yet I often had to refresh his memo...

What's my point? Speciation is for insects. And people trapped in the last century. You mean insects like Richard Dawkins? Actually, the more you go back in time, the more you find scientists that know about everything. Simply because we didn't know as much about each subject as we know tod...

Well, business owning, piloting and parenting are not really sciences. He has degrees in medicine and software engineering which is amazing, but if you pop in advanced physics and molecular biology plus genetic engineering, all of them at a level where you can actually innovate, it gets a bit more d...

It's hard enough to find a person that masters all the areas of his own field. That's why you have different sub fields and when you get your PhD it's usually on a very specific subject. I pictured Ritsuko as a computational biologist (like me! :jiggy: ). But when she starts to p...

But it would be cool if Yui is beaten by dark Yui first, that would show how strong the new Eva is. Then the second time they fight, Yui would win and it would be epic. Although it would be a little cliché, maybe they could play the "Eye of the Tiger" between fights.

It's hard to see anything because it seems like they have superposed a lot of drawings on that page. If you look carefully between Asuka's lines and the "Girl of the month" text, you'll see what looks like a long haired human doing something... and then if you go up and to the ...

They were experimenting with Microsoft Paint.

I guess it does then.

Come to think of it, even if the Eva's AT field wasn't strong enough to block the radiation, any damage that it takes would probably be repairable.

By the way, the english Kaworu voice is extra gay...

I think she would be introverted like in the TV series, but maybe a little bit less creepy (she would probably have friends). There's evidence that introversion is at least partly genetic. I remember I read that the Japanese population have a genetic tendency towards introversion. Twins ...

A lot of it will just be prettier versions of stuff we've already seen But you also have to take into account the people that haven't watched NGE. Still, it's pretty common to include parts of the climax in trailers (at least in the western world). For example Star Wars Episode ...

Id punch Asuka for being a bitch and Shinji for being a perverted freak.

High five Hikari and Toji because they're both cool.

And Id slap Ritsuko's ass, for no reason.

From what I understand, the immediate effect of a nuclear bomb is basically a huge pressure wave. Actually humans seem to be able to survive the pressure wave but the buildings around them are not, so they collapse and kill the humans inside/nearby. Then there's the effects of radiation. Burns a...
