The reason Rei is caring toward Shinji is because he actually sees that she is a human and isn't a tool. There isn't any evidence showing that Rei has any part of Yui's personality and, by Rei having Yui's personality, is caring toward Shinji.

Well, the reason Ritsuko specifically asked that Shinji give Rei her new I.D. card was because Gendo wanted Shinji and Rei together. I don't think the creators changed the scene because of pacing, but because it had to further Rebuild Gendo's plan.

A little offtopic, but where are people getting the idea that Rei is only attracted to Shinji because some part of her is from Yui?

They used spare Rei clones to make the meat.

Shinji totally has the whole, "Gee whiz, Mistao, fries and a milkshake!"

I don't really agree with Oedipusfoot either. That creature (evil Yui) can't be Shinji's subconscious because it isn't telling Shinji to leave the Eva, it's trying to absorb him into the Eva. Throughout his time in the Eva, Shinji is happy to be near his mom. So much so t...

Got mine from Best Buy! I can't wait to watch it!

Even Anno wants to Sadamoto to hurry up and finish!

Has Ritsuko been shown confronting Gendo yet?

Not yet, but I believe that Ritsuko was last seen inside the Magi where she said she would see her mom soon.

Wow. Sadamoto definitely did a better job with Mistao dying than in the film.

The book that Rei is reading is The Happy Prince and Other Tales , by Oscar Wilde. I can't say if the book or any images in it is an insight to Rei's character or just a red herring by Anno. However, it turns out that Gainax did choose this book since there was a production drawing of the bo...

Thanks for all the help everybody. I'm keeping the spyware at bay, so far, right now.

I have spyware on my computer and now it's begging me to get the full version. It keeps bugging me to tears. Is there any way I can get rid of it?

Want more of a preview of Eva: You Are (Not) Alone? Anime News Network has a 27 minute preview:

They know what they did but on topic, do we know for sure that is our Lilith?

But, it does have breasts, doesn't it? How could it not be Lilith?

I don't see any news on the blog saying theres going to be a new Mahoromatic series.

Awesome!

If you track down Ayanami Afternoons, it might confirm your sneaking suspicions about the First Children.

Yeah, I read that one. It was really well written, though sad.

One of the best lemons with A/S, for me, was Blackout: http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_ch.php/86528/287174#fic_c

Hi, I was wondering if someone could recommend me some good Eva lemons. Preferably, ones with Shinji and either Asuka, Rei, Mistao. Any ones with Touji/Hikari, Kensuke/whoever are cool too.

I do think that Shinji does care, in some way, about Rei, at least a little.

I agree. Why else would Shinji say Rei couldn't be replaced and that she was the only Ayanami.
