Umm....not really because it's very possible they met when they were younger. So true . . . I wonder if Rebuild 3.0 will clarify on this, or simply left all views in guessing in that classic Anno fashion. Just another hypothesis to throw in the air to sit next to my outlandish Manga-Sequel idea...

Whatever translation you're looking at, Kaworu is showing some personal history with Shinji, is he not?

The story centers around quasi celeb/beauty icon Ririko and her trainwreck post-op life. Sawajiri Erika (an A-list actress not so long ago) is set to play the role in the new movie, which looks like it has reasonable production values at least. I'm taking that as a sign that that movie a...

Has anyone read this before? It's about a vain celeb having gone though unsafe cosmetic surgeries to get her "perfect" look, and the horrible consequences she suffer as result. A live-action adaptation movie of the manga is coming out this summer in Japan, so I figure now is the time t...
