Something else just occured to me re: continuity. Mari says she met Shinji just once, but at least from her POV, that's not true; she talks with him during the fateful moment he decides to keep piloting. ElMariachi was on the nose with this one, Shinji never actually sees her in that sequence. He o...

I wanted so desperately for there to be an official translation of the particular Manyoshu poem which Asuka was reciting. I'm not a poet! Poetry is hard! I settled for iambic octameter and a couple archaisms. Mari's song was a pain and a half as well-- again, no official translation, and I'm no song...

It's a pretty good translation. You could give alternatives like "So, take care of yourself", but I rather like "be good to yourself" as a reading for 大事にする.

That is correct, it looks as janky as ever. Though as I've discussed, it's possible the jankiness is there for a reason, to represent something about the scene itself. (Or it just looks janky.)

While saying that she can't eat, Shikinami even uses the plural ("for us it's just water"). Probably referring to Mari. Just for what it's worth, Asuka uses 此方人等 kochitora which is not a definitive plural. It can be one, but Asuka could very well just be saying, "All I ever get is wa...

One of the problems with your emphatic assertion of wrongness is that 改 means revision and is a component of words like renew, and can absolutely be expressed as "new". You made a great point about the usage of 新 in the JA configuration, but don't get ahead of yourself in claiming what can...

There might be a couple minor shot angle changes, and a couple places where the coloring may have been different. I also thought I noticed some extra reaction shots in the second and third quarters of the film, though these may just be things I didn't remember from my first two viewings. There's som...

I don't think that means it spoils anything about Shin, though. Unless you feel like a particular fact was meant to be revealed in Shin and only in Shin, the most the manga does is provide some additional context to Asuka's character and motivations in Q. The manga certainly hints at some aspects of...

There's nothing that spoils anything in Shin, probably because it's mainly a prequel to Q. There might be one or two things that could be considered foreshadowing, but that wouldn't mean anything to you without watching Shin first. Keep in mind, though, I say this as someone who's actually seen Shin...

It's okay for characters to have sex appeal. The girls aren't required to stand ramrod-straight in shapeless muumuus.

Why not use the same term used by khara? Custom (kai), that is the whole purpose of each variation, to customize to the use in Operation US. We know that the eva inside the pod is the 汎用ヒト型決戦兵器 人造人間エヴァンゲリオン 正規実用型 改2号機β. Using New EVA-02 is a decision that doesn't make sense, right after the OUS, it...

Why would someone use new eva-02 onboard on the third page when it says it is the Evangelion Production Model-02'β, using a similar name to other customization (only missing the alpha) I would change it, since it may give the wrong idea. The Japanese is エヴァンゲリオン改2号機, transliterated as Evangelion ka...

I'm gonna work on this. (thanos.jpg)

She has it in the Next Time preview, the events of which presumably precede Q... though by how much time, we don't know. When she got the eyepatch isn't certain, other than that it was after Ha and before Q.

Better translation:

* This art doesn't have anything to do with E-E-E... All we ever saw Asuka do in the village was play videogames, but maybe she helped out every once in a while...?"

The Rebuilds ruined themselves. I could understand Anno wanted to do something different. But he didn’t do it good. The Rebuilds fail to stand both as a continuation of Eva and as their own series. So they’re just something that will be forgotten and ignored while people will always remember the or...

I'm kind of glad I live out in the countryside for this. The theaters haven't been packed when I've been to go see the movie, which is great for social distancing. Plenty of space around me. Looking at the seat map, though, this is going to be a more full than normal showing. Exciting!

I don't think so. The "last run" is the cut of the movie that's being dubbed as 3.0+1.01, so I don't think they would do later runs of slightly updated cuts and say "we were just kidding about that whole 'last run' thing".

Steins;Gate also has a novelization, multiple spin-off games, and drama CDs, all of which reveal events that happened on other world lines or flesh out the events of the games. The novelization has no English translation, the spin-off games had no translations for nearly a decade and then when they ...
