well after coming to that realization about that scene in 23, i have a very different perspective about the kiss scene than when i started this thread... so there's that.
and when i said "maybe we're both dumb" i meant it as a joke, but it probably didn't convey very well.

with all this talk of there being no future for him because he still has crippling defects aside from hating himself, i think its worth noting that the circumstances of instrumentality are never specified in the show, as far as i can remember. is it the same as EoE, where nobody exists as an individ...

maybe we're both dumb

i saw that for the first time recently on youtube. her collection is insane. there are otaku neets in Japan who aren't that that dedicated.

^yes
she's really nice and a huge eva geek like the rest of us.

when i sent my platinum collection and EoE to tiffany grant in the mail to have them signed. i bought a lot of eva merch before that, but that was the moment i realized that i am unjustifiably obsessed with eva (and Asuka more specifically).

so after following sachi's link, i realized there is probably a lot that i've missed. i've only ever watched it with the dub (i know, heresy). the line in the dub in ep 23 is "all i can do is be here for you" the subbed line is "this is about all I can do for you right now" now i...

any interpretive evidence is welcome too if you find it compelling, but i don't think i've ever seen anything, at least in the main tv series and movies, that would directly suggest that this is the case. despite this, i've seen people say that this is the case many times. before you mention the kis...

i think i actually watched that once. i remember laughing at the cringe, and then feeling disgusted when it was over.

@Reichu
that sculpture is one of the most bizarre things i have ever laid eyes on

in my opinion, probably not a lot. i've played most of the zelda games and the only parallel i can draw between rebuild ocarina is the time jump.

Sicarius what's your complaint about their VAs? do they just not sound right in your opinion?

Adding in the jam sound when the JSSDF mook gets killed and during Instrumentality in EoE this is the only major problem i have with the dub, and it infuriates me every time i hear it. who thought it sounded appropriate? are they deaf? do they just not care about the movie at all, so putting in som...

it reminds me of metal gear solid 2 more than anything. it subverted fan expectations in a very manipulative way and makes statements about the viewer. Shinji finally gets in the f*cking robot and saves Rei? nope, nevermind. Shinji and Asuka are making progress with their relationship? no. Asuka is ...

the most persistent thing that bothers me when i see them/stumble on them/flip through one out of curiosity is that it usually never really features a character from the series. they look the same, but is it really the same character ? i get it, its someones fantasy, but it bothers me on a deeper le...

i've likely had more than one, but i can only remember one. IIRC i wasn't occupying a character, i was just in the room as an observer, like a scene in a movie, but my eyes were the camera. it was in in a cage for one of the evas and Rei was yelling something at Asuka, like Rei had a normal and very...

falling in love for the first time, having a bad breakup, etc, really helps me connect to the show more. I think that unless you have actual life experience under your belt, you won't be able to relate to the characters as well as you could. this is basically what i'm going through right now. i dis...

when i was 13 or 14, i might have even been 12 (i'm 22 now), my family was on vacation in oregon. we stopped at some grocery store on the way to a motel. i was looking at the magazines and saw one with Asuka and Rei on it and i liked how they looked, so i asked my dad to buy it for me. when we got h...
