If memory serves the chopper fleet that was leaving the Wunder near the beginning had the UN logo. So that'd be my guess to where funding and resources come from. It's also important to remember that 3.0 had a very myopic perspective, we only see the immediate area around Nerv and not much else. Lik...

^ I dunno, Eva is not exactly first watch friendly. So while there might some increase in Eva related internet traffic i think there is also a bit of overestimation to its general popularity. Unfortunately Eva is more commonly known through memes than its content and message, so i'm personally keepi...

Well on one hand that Unit-1 has both arms, but on the other, toy/figurine lines have spoiled movie content before.

Wow i'm surprised by how far behind poka poka Rei is behind #2 & 1. I thought that version of Rei was quite popular.

Asuka sees herself as the best Eva pilot, and, while her interactions with Shinji and Rei convince her that teamwork and friendship is the better path than being a lone wolf, Asuka never admits that she isn’t the best Eva pilot. If anything, the movies still leaves us assuming that Asuka thinks tha...

Yes i know the title is a bit clickbaity but as weird as it sounds it's something I think best describes the way rebuild handles Asukas relationship with Shinji. Without making a big post I'll try and make the case. Asuka starts out as a rather self centered loner that believes she needs only hersel...

I'd say it's the fact that Shikinami isn't a social butterfly. It's the one thing that never made much sense to me regarding Soryu, given her background it's so weird how easily she is able to fake being social and open. Soryu didn't want to open herself and desired "adultness" above anyth...

^ God i hope so, first trailer got me super hyped for it and given how far out it still is. Something to keep the interest would be mighty nice.

I'm in the cautiously optimistic camp on this one, Bebop is one of those properties that can transition to live action quite easily.

I hope it does have an english dub available cause as much as i like eva, i'm not dealing with subtitles on my TV. It's already annoying reading them on a much smaller computer monitor, on a larger TV it'd be awful. ^ I probably mentioned this in the other thread but it bares repeating. For One Punc...

So, then what's the point of including her at all? And don't you say "commercial intent" just because there is one guy at Khara who may or may not have said that at one point - do you really believe that Anno would allow something into his masterpiece that doesn't have significance? If so...

Lots of action and things happening without getting confusing, nothing to be paranoid about. So looks like things are finally hitting the fan, that does makes me wonder if uber Rei was actually after the Evas or simply using that tactic to lure the actual target to a more easily accessible area. Mar...

2 more years to go huh? Well at least now we know for sure. Recent changes to the anime scene here in the west makes me hopeful for a quick release, now that sumildubs are a thing and with major anime movies being brought over faster than before. If Funimation can release the new DBS movie fully dub...

After seeing the teaser a couple of things come to mind. 1) Don't really care for the Diablomon look for Unit-8, sure it has the quick fix vibe but not a fan of it. 2) Don't like the redesigned plug suit, i loved the 2nd plugsuits of Mari and Asuka (especially Asuka) from 3.0. I loved how the color ...

Core talk My thought process on this is figuring out if core corrosion is something intrinsic of cores or even just based on energy "levels". So the examples cited by Reichu, is the corrosion caused by the type of core or is it the high energy event involved (activation of Wunder and an a...

I don't have a real explanation for why Eva-01 creates a core cocoon in the orbital prison, but the fact that she creates one in the Wunder as well is similarlyn unresolved matter, so I'll throw a wild guess out there. Tying into the idea that the Wunder was the Adams' ship, maybe the Adams (in the...

Touching back on the topic of suicide, I don't think Shinji has it in him to attempt it, whether because he's more resilient than he seems or because he just doesn't think he's worth it. He didn't try after Kaworu told him the big lie or after Fuyutsuki shot down his last hope that he had at least ...

I think one of the things that has hurt NTE compared to NGE is the huge time gap between "episodes". In NGE you'd only have to wait a week to see the next step of the story, and even its movie was only 2 years after the main series conclusion. It's been 6 years (and counting) since 3.0 so ...

^ Pretty sure that scene is from the Shinji vs Asuka fight in 3.0. I'm assuming it's showcasing the way some scenes are animated. Might be wrong on this but doesn't Japanese animation do voice work later on in the process compared to western animation? I know that in Pixar stuff and TV cartoons voic...

Right now i'm into the idea that the Wunder is itself an Adams. Now i know it sounds silly given that it's a giant ship but angelic entities have shown a certain...elasticity with their body shape. Zeruel grew a Rei body, Unit-1 was evolving into something different at the end of 2.0, Unit-13 grew t...
