One of the many things which strikes me as odd about Q is what has happened to Gendo's Scenario. After 2.0, I thought that the last thing Gendo would want for his scenario would be a broken Shinji - there would be a chance he would decide "everybody should just die" during the next Im...

Here's a better non-standard 2.0 Hitler reaction

Agreed on all counts.

The only thing I felt was that she needs to go back to Diebuster, which is clearly her universe of origin.

I think the speculation about the monoliths being ancient alien technology intended to "uplift and immortalize" 12 Lilin works fairly well (as least as a starting point), and explains Gendo's utterly bizarre speech within the confines of NGE's established mechanics. Sure i...

Reichu, I did consider that. I agree that I doubt the 4th movie will get exposition bloated. And Final will have answers, similar to the NERV history lesson / Kaji episode, or the 23. I suppose I'm just expressing a crisis of faith that the creators themselves can deliver with Final. 3.0 went of...

Wow, it´s true. I was the first one to welcome you. It feels like it hapened a decade ago.

*Checks join date* You are small time.

The Welcome thread has been around forever. It just gets recycled and started anew every year or so.

I haven't posted here in well over 2 years I think, so here's a few picture updates. 1. About a year and a half ago my sister and I joined the choir at our church. Its a cool group of people and we sing at a pretty high level for volunteers. Our choir was invited to sing at some cathedrals i...

My point is that there are too many similarities between the two and I feel that is because Gurren Lagann is possibly the third buster series. I mean c'mon giga drill breaker looks exactly like Inazuma double kick and Nono is completely just a female Kamina. If we listed every anime that had an...

Really can't blame him for this one .

Since I didn't notice Tines had posted the gif until I had already opened tinypic. Have a super-serious gif.

I thought this also gets a shot in 23' or 24'

Misato is far too hotblooded to be compared to gendo, even as the Wunder-commander.

Welcome newbies. It was about 4 years before I stopped visiting these forums every day, so expect to be around for awhile.

Unicorns have magic in their horns, so just do some telekinesis stuff.

MFW :rei_meh: I'm serious. I'm not saying I believe it. Unless you categorically reject faith and all people that subscribe to it , you can hardly be surprised that people would latch onto something like that (people finding crosses in burned buildings or sites of tragedy is not new [UR...

Should I rent Prometheus?

Decapitation Safety Switch.

I knew the instant that Shinji mentioned the DSS choker to Kaworu that he would remove it with magic and put it on himself.

at the rate new concepts were introduced in the first 3 movies and never explained or touched again in Q, Final will be either really long, or we'll just not have enough information to reach the same level of understanding as we had of the series + EoE.

Personally, I think the usage of Christian imagery contributes well to the meaning and emotional impact of the series (as opposed to being meaningless). The Angels having crosses as attacks and death-throes contributes to the sense of moral ambiguity and mystery of them which is definitely a...

Well, at least I'm prepared for the worst (i.e. Asuka dies after becoming an Angel). The best case scenario is that Bardiel manages to re-awaken, but Asuka manages to control it to give Unit-28/02+08 an S2-engine. This would give us some new material for that one thread over in chit-chat.
