Oh ok cool obviously I haven't read much of the manga. Good to know even Kaji is messed up just like everyone else.

This. It was definitely a little sad knowing there was no more Evangelion.

Well, until now. Once Rebuild is over I'll feel the same way again.

Yes. Which is why I find threads like "Which Eva character has the most fucked up past" to be idiotic because ALL of the characters have hard times or have hard times, it's just manifested in different ways. Definitely. Except for Kaji, he seemed to have a pretty cool life. Go to coll...

When I first got into NGE I was super obsessed. Words can't really describe how obsessed I was with the show. I never spent a ton of money on merch or anything, but I was constantly thinking about it and talking about it. Non-stop. It was kind of retarded. I bought the Death:Rebirth and EoE dubs...

I would say Asuka is the best. Well, when she isn't being the worst, of course. Her first fight on the battleships was intense. The Angel that split in two was good, also. Obviously her first attack didn't kill it, but she just flew up on it like nothing and shanked the shit out of it. Whoev...

Why, hello there EVA-R :D I remember that I was all super into it. Is it still around? /googles That's fanfic as improvisational radio theatre All I needed was some cheesy sound effects and I could have made it big. I actually wrote a lot of down before but I lost it when I got a new computer. ...

Asuka has always been my favorite, probably because she was the first character I ever saw. I think she has a great story arc, tbh I like her story better than Shinji's....she actually has a range of emotions in the show compared to a lot of the other characters who kind of stick to one facade f...

Well this was when I was super obsessed with the show, so me and a friend made up a story with some new characters and pretty much wrote an entire second series. Well, not "wrote" as much as we just talked about it a lot. Looking back on that it seems pretty insane and dumb. After watching...

Well that's kind of boring. If you don't like them because of their flaws, is there any character in the series you do like? I mean, they're all pretty fucked up.

It should also be noted that I checked the Refrain of Evangelion liner notes and didn't see any such thing. Haha punked. Imagine that wikipedia failed at truth. I'm trying to think back to the subtitles for the song. If I remember correctly, it's mainly just a "coming of age" ...

Rei is great. I don't know what it is but she's really grown on me and I think she's a good character. Well, like some of you have said already, until she's sacrificed to forward the plot. I think if Rei acted like she does in episode 26's alternate reality, for the entire series...

A friend introduced me to it in probably 7th grade, so like 2000. He was super into Asuka so the first episode I ever saw was Episode 8, of course. Then I watched episodes 25 and 26 and my mind was blown. I was intrigued by it though, and eventually saw most of the series. I bought the box set when ...

When I first started watching Evangelion, I was a total Asuka fan and Rei bored me. But as I've gotten older and grown to appreciate the story and characters more, Rei has really grown on me. I still like Asuka more, I find her to be a more interesting character. Just watching her demise makes f...
