I always wonder what was running through the heads of the NERV controllers watching video feeds from that pause when Shinji is holding Kaworu. "Um, did the S2 engine die? Are they having a staring contest or something? Are they remembering that awkward thing in the showers? OK, I'm too bore...

Sorry for creating a new thread, I didn't know this one already existed. On a related question for the admins, when does it change from "this post already existed so I'll post there" to "thread necromancy"?

Oh, wow. Now I feel like a total jerk for thinking it was funny. I could never hear the lyrics.

Also, Kaworu06, your grandma watches Evangelion?

You know, wouldn't the impact of GNR and the MP Evas cause a massive cataclysmic force across the Earth. I can't tell because some shots show GNR being about as big as the entire Earth . But in that picture below she just seems to be "relatively" small. Edit: Wait, I never noticed ...

The thing is, now that it's so much later, the new dub would have a major advantage. We've seen the original. This much later every problem with the dub has been pointed out and categorized by fans and critics. A new dub script would have the advantage that conversations on how the dub went ...

A retranslation with the original actors is what I meant. And I thought that a lot of the major fans would have a reaction like yours, not wanting to spend more money when you already own several boxed sets. Still, they don't even need to redo the entire series. I just want to see the scenes tha...

Yeah, maybe I was stretching to say they could fit it into the Rebuild production schedule. I would still personally like to see this happen. If you want to get the original meaning behind the script and writing you have to watch the subbed version, but that means you can't focus on the visuals ...

It's commonly agreed among the fandom that the dub for Evangelion messed up quite a few things. An idea suddenly came to me that with the voice actors already together and working on Rebuild's dub, Gainax could find all the scenes that were messed up by the dub script and redo and reedit the...

Personally I don't like fanfics that focus on romance. I also can't stand fics that try to incorporate Evangelion battles. The show's animation made it look interesting but in a written form it just becomes a boring halt to the plot. I also prefer what ifs and side-stories without the ma...

Yes, and speaking of which. I know it's supposed to be ironic that horrible things are happening while this happy beat is going on, but I always just find myself unable to take the Third Impact seriously most of the time because of the music.

Eh, maybe it's because I'm slightly cynical. It just sounds like the same tone of voice you would congratulate someone for a token effort with. Not to mention Gendo was there. I don't care if some deep analysis shows that Gendo secretly cared for Shinji. If you abandon a kid for that lon...

I fail to see how that realization isn't an achievement. Let me rephrase that, I thought of the wrong reason. It's funny because the congratulations seems so saccharine compared to Shinji just talking to himself. It doesn't feel like any way a real person would respond to the situation....

Yeah, I've had a hard time interpreting that final beach scene and I think Chuckman just said the one I'm agreeing with. Honestly, I wonder if for both the TV and movie ending Anno just wrote out the most basic plot possible and filled it with so much symbolism and iconography that it acts a...

Yes, Shinji is technically positioned in privilege, being the one who Rei looks to for instruction on what to do. However, he isn't just talking with Rei. Almost all of the other characters are there in the visions. So he seems to be part of the standard whole of the Sea of LCL. Your idea could ...

Ah yes, so this is why most series don't try to be honest anymore. I'm sorry if I seem to be mocking the message or anything, I just think that the "congratulations" from the whole cast is hilarious and out of place. I mean, what, were they watching Shinji talk to himself and expe...

I already saw the flamethrower scene on the first page, so I can't count that one. For me the thing that made the previously mentioned Hallelujah chorus funny was that the music actually faded when it wasn't showing Asuka, unlike with music in the rest of the series that stays on until what ...

Ahhh, look at Gendo's face. That is the look of a man who has now ended all hisplans for global destruction over a clean shave. "Hey Shinji, shaving my beard made me realize what a horrible person I was. So, I've decided that you don't have to pilot the EVA anymore! And here's a...

Personally, I would reject Instrumentality. However, I don't think it's as simple as becoming like a borg drone. The conversations in both EoTV and EoE wouldn't happen if it was a hive mind, as why would you talk when your thoughts are in one mind, or they would at least be far more abst...
