Pity you can't check two boxes, because shipping is a plague on the fandom, regardless.

Re: Would you consider EoE an example of high culture?

With the example of Shakespeare already quoted in this thread, the simple answer is that EoE is still pop culture because it's not yet old enough to be high culture.

Re: The Last Train Station Scene

I've not gone back to watch this whole scene to compare and contrast; but here's the one screenshot I have to hand. Where is Anno-san's shadow? https://thumbs4.imagebam.com/03/e0/de/MEH2QSL_t.png Later: No shadow while climbing the stairs, but there on the platform. Shadow would be to the left on th...

Thanks for that -- the tweet I saw was actually from someone else; so an uncredited repost that justly deserved to be ephemeral.

As it's her birthday in Japan now, back to mai waifu for avatar; from a picture that showed up on twitter long enough for me to save, then the timeline refreshed before I could link the tweet.

Re: "Show, don't tell": why Thrice is better than EoE

a planet that has been scoured of all life I'm going to repost my favourite picture here https://www.stevegilham.com/nge/torino9.jpg where we see nicely tree-covered hills in the aftermath of Shinji saying "Shut it down!" We also see a much more mechanical explanation for the landscape in...

Re: Official "Hello/Goodbye" Thread!

Welcome! The forums aren't the hive of activity they were in the early days, but they still have a reasonable amount of traffic (several posts per day), albeit mostly concerning the New Theatrical Edition movies (aka the Rebuilds). That still leaves the wealth of past discussions that remain in the ...

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now

The evenings have closed in enough that I've been fitting in the odd episode here and there for a while now - though for the current season's Pui Pui Molcar : Driving School , the motion of the sun is less important. After the first season's "everything goes" mayhem, it was hard to see whe...

Re: Shin Eva-Official Social Media: 3.33 You Can (Not) Be Localized

Taking a look from the street view, this is the best offered -- there's an elevated highway section that might give a view closer to the movie screenshot, but it opened since the Google car last went by six years ago (which is a bit slack, compared with even the minor country roads around here being...

Re: Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 Spoiler Fanart, Merchandise and Cosplay

Looks like the community that Toji and Kensuke are a part of is based out of an old railway museum - it could be an actual depot, but there is a lot of vintage rolling-stock in view, including a steam locomotive Necroreplying for this confirmation https://twitter.com/tenhamasen/status/1582211846756...

Re: Devil's advocate question regarding the "Big Irony Bomb"

I have to confess that the first time I saw this scene, the offer of sex was completely lost on me. I thought she was trying to console a despondent Shinji in a way that a mother figure would. I.e. reaching for his hand and possibly intending to hold him / literally offer a shoulder for him to cry ...

Re: Pictures Thread 2.22: You Can (Not) Advance

I find myself spending way too much time playing with AI generated art just at the moment (see current avatar) for illustrations -- it has been described as a gacha game, where all you pay is time, and you still get those dopamine hits when you get close to what you were after. At the current state ...

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender (WTF is your avatar/sig from?)

Since everyone seems to be playing with it these days, I tried my hand at using Stable Diffusion to generate character art for some of the fiction I wrote lo these many years ago. While the first attempts were quite horrid , a fortuitous seed (1360326216) and getting the key part of the prompt down,...

Re: Evangelion ANIMA (general)

Given the site policy on these matters, all I can do is point you at retailers like amazon who are offering the official translation. No doubt there are scans of those volumes floating around in the usual places, but you'll have to find those yourself.
