I've mentioned this before, but the Encyclopedia of Eva III does state that Rei-001 was 5 years old when she died. Also if you want to search google groups through the Japan.anime.evangelion archives I once posted a full analysis of Rei's size at 5 and at the apparent age of 14 and compared ...

wonder where the heck the whole "9 months after 2I" thing came from though...seems to have kinda popped outta thin air... As I said in one of the other threads, it was stated on the first lot of ADV liner notes. The also stated that the First Impact killed off the dinosaurs, and contain a...

I'm almost positive that I read the whole "9 months after 2I" thing somewhere official... It's on the back of the first ADV Eva release, and it's totally incorrect. The characters birthdates are sort of an "in-joke" by the GAINAX people. Almost all their birthdays ar...

I recall the big push against that belief happened in Summer 2002, as I recall thinking about certain aspects of it at my summer job then http://evageeks.org/ANF-Archive/images/-original.gif I did a quick search and found This Thread on Animeboards from August 2001. I remember talking about it befo...

The entry plug lies either within the core (an idea I thoroughly dislike, though MDWigs says he's seen an official image that depicts this) I still can't find a copy of this image. If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it. Basically it just shows a cross-section showin...

Firstly, regarding life at Antarctica, there is life everywhere guys. This whole world is teaming with it. Antarctica is no exception, and after the Anti-AT Field the result was (according to Fuyutsuki in episode 21): "Biseibutsu ni itaru made zenseimei no tettei shita shômetsu." &...

Well if anything could get me out of my personal world and interested in discussing Eva again then it would have to be an Eva-00 soul query. The Naoko theory has been around on the net for as long as I have been discussing Eva. I've always had this thought in the back of my mind that it was spaw...

The specifics of how it is retreivable is never discussed in the series, movies or another other canon source (like many things in Eva). However we do know that it's possible and that it was intentional as per the EoE Theatrical Program statement, "...numerous Rei clones were then p...

There are two possibilities as I see it. The first is that they reconstructed Yui's body out of Lilith. That is, all the little Rei's that formed were formed out of Lilith's flesh itself, they were formed in Yui's image, they tried to reconstruct Yui's body, but the substance tha...

I really should re-write that someday. I cobbled that specific explanation together in about five minutes, and doesn't really show the full depth of the idea. The thing that is missing out of that specific explanation is really the basis for the line, "They go to reconstruct Yui's body....

AchtungAffen: But thinking like that I could say that Rei-001 was created on 2010, as we know nothing exact about when she was created. She was created from the salvaged remains of Yui after she was taken into the Eva, but that creation might have happened on 2005 or 2009 as far as we know. We know...

AchtungAffen Why do you say Rei 001 existed far longer than Rei 002? Are you saying that between Rei-001's death and the creation of Rei-002 almost 3 years passed? Why wouldn't they rebuild her instantly? I mean, she must have been around (Rei-002) at least for 1 year before 2015, a...

My plane departs in a little under six hours. If I didn't have some much packing still to do I would give it a shot now (I've done so much procrastination already )

Ok I'm slack and should have replied far sooner. Sorry. Reichu: It's probably impossible to say for certain, since we know so very little about Rei-001 (or Rei 1, as she's referred in the script). "Rei-001" a hang over from the controller we see in Ritsuko's hand in...

It's becuase you ask the big questions that nobody has answers too!

Reichu: I'm still waiting for people to take a stab at addressing those other Yui-related mysteries I mentioned. I'll take a shot at it... but give me a couple of weeks. I'm getting on a plane in two days to fly 20 hours half way around the world. Once I set up shop in my new place I...

Wow Reich that's a fantastic analysis. I particularly like the fact that it's now clear which Rei is saying what, because it certainly does add another dimension of meaning into what is said. The way it seems to be portrayed is that Rei-001 is the instigator of a lot of the discussion. Do yo...

I never knew that Anno was a physics and science buff. I thought he went to a film collage, so I wonder where he learned all of this. Perhaps he taught it to himself? Yeah he went to the Osaka College of Art allong with Takami Akai and Hiroyuki Yamaga. He also love reading Science Fiction books tho...

I'm reading back over it all now, and I was a bit all over the place back then. I've got a lot more physics since then, and though most of what I said then still holds, it can be explanded on a lot more (and explained much better). As for how Eva-01 escaped, well the main question we...

I love this topic http://www.evageeks.org/ANF-Archive/images/../images/-happy.gif Anno is a physics otaku, actually he is an all round science otaku. He puts well researched, accurate scientific details in a lot of his shows. For those of you who have seen Gunbuster, you will see where he deals with...
