EoE was probably the best ending to any anime I've ever seen. Most of the show is about facing reality - and reality can be harsh and cruel. EoE is not self-indulgent to its characters, it doesn't hand them anything on a golden platter. In the end, it presents a very hopeless struggle, which...

Glor's Beta thread? Ja. Honestly I liked the part with Rei in the entry plug, but it was a little too short to be its own scene. I like the flow of scene 2 much better now. Me gusta. I'm... I'm not sure what the Futziki thing is. A reference I'm missing? Or just a typo? I would avoid...

Being drunk does amazing things for productivity! Great minds think alike. Honestly, I think reading Rei's POV before Gendo's works just fine. Just my 2 cents on that. Ch. 1 scene 2A: A good start with some nice background exposition. I do like the recasting of NERV as Nerve. Although it fee...

@ElMariachi : Ah, forgot about the N2 Reactors. At least a safer bet than the traditional Nuclear reactor, considering we don't know anything about how it works. The only way I think Jet Alone could be effective is with anti-A.T. field ammunition for weapons - which was an ass-pull from 3.0, bu...

I've always hated the Jet Alone robot because it looks so ridiculous, but as a weapons platform it is probably far more practical than the Evangelions, though the Evas were never made with practicality in mind, just necessity. Jet Alone's biggest issue is its inability to generate an A.T. Fi...

@Sorrow: damn, those were really good!

The Human soul, a continuous genocide.

She slapped him, "Wake up, Ikari!"

Death, lies and treachery: joyous rebirth!

Giant robots, and a mothers love.

Far future, there is only Rei.

Moonlight Yebisu, from zero to Misato.

PenPen, heart asunder, loved her still.

Shinji's love for PenPen runs deep, because PenPen doesn't judge him like Human beings do. He's a goddamn Penguin. Misato almost smothers this Penguin with hollow affection, though. She does it when it suits her whims, never the other way around. It gets taxing on a penguin's heart. ...

Much like Ray, my Beta-reader - understandably - has more important things to worry about than my arbitrary bit of fan fiction. I'm writing a Halo/Evangelion fusion crossover, and my Beta is more on the Halo spectrum of things - which is awesome. But atm, I'm more concerned about my portraya...

PenPen x Asuka? Is there someone who can care more for PenPen outside of some selfish desire to rid themselves of loneliness? Who sees him for the Penguin that he really is, not the Penguin he pretends to be? Who challenges him to be all that he can be? Is that someone Asuka? Can Asuka allow the wal...

^Nah, man. The coolest part would be to see how differently you two approach it - make it awesome in your own way!

I get along better with my mother then I do any other female on earth, and we're really similar. Should I go after that? You probably already are... I mean, boys will generally seek out a female that is similar to their mother in mannerisms or appearance, or both. Same with girls and their fath...

A fair point, Kendrix. I was merely getting at the fact that while he does not fully see himself as Adam, as you pointed out, he is at least more aware of what he is - not Lilim, but not an Angel either. He's stuck in-between, but is aware of the angelic origins of his soul, being able to utiliz...

Gob Hobblin, plz.

I need this in my life.

^Even still, it seems like Kaworu has more self-awarness than Rei does. By the way that he speaks and uses his abilities, we can tell that Adam's soul is clearly the more dominant part of what makes up Kaworu - and Adam is an alien entity at that. So our customs and our culture are almost beyond...

The "sessions" were uber short, but it was a very interesting read. A shame the author doesn't seem to be continuing with it. I was thinking about taking a crack at writing an AU where Shinji is trained to be a pilot at 4, like Asuka, and was very lazily trying to figure out if anyone ...

So, I've read a few stories that start off NGE with Asuka and Shinji having known one another since childhood. However, I've never come across a fic that has Shinji trained as a pilot at a young age like Asuka. At least, not that I remember. It's been a while since I perused the Eva sect...

I don't think you need to worry about mood whiplash. The first half of Evangelion was extremely goofy before spiraling into a bottomless pit of depression and self-loathing. With that said, this was a great scene that made me chuckle. For the most part, dialogue flowed well, although could proba...

Thanks for the feedback. As for the vocab, I could see where obfuscating might trip people up, as I could just say deadening sound and sensation without the word at all, but I'm not going to shy away from SAT words. I actually really like the choice of Jism, as it's somewhat vulgar but not ...

I guess you could say the biggest thing the original series had over the Rebuilds was Time for character development. That's something the Rebuilds lack. On the Misato thread It was mentioned how in Rebuild that with the exception of Shinji, all we get is the before and after photos of the char...
