Just watched "You are not alone", and I think that the neck breaks open in the back, and probably has some kind of ring inside (so that it snaps back into shape once its around the neck), because Rei is seen adjusting something along the neck area

Wasnt Kaworu a creation of Seele? I dont know how he would have knowledge of how many Angels had been produced...

Somehow, considering how the Angels were supposed to be the alternate to human beings, I dont think that merely 15 beings in existence would have been the end-goal.

I think its just that the suits are relatively loose (including the wrists), you step in, the material contracts with the button push. Looking at Ep. 8 again, the plug suit is rather ill defined when it is around her shoulders (which would show how the suit opens). If you look carefu...

Asuka/Rei:
Asuka: Penis goes where?
Rei:....?

Sham/Sach
Sham: sooo...
Sach: why am I on top?
Sham:...well, I was more thinking about my tentacles...

a pressurization system alone wouldnt cut it. If it was just a vacuuming effect, then there would be lots of wrinkles. Thus, it has to be that the material itself contracts (electric current causes molecules to rearrange, amount of charge determines by how much?). The picture you have, Zuggy...

Yea, I was referring to 2I. It all seemed somewhat confusing to me, because I cant make much sense out of the chatter from the scene where Adam awakens. Was the detonation from a human device or did it just trigger the explosion? In either case, what the heck are the wings (somewhat similar to E...

How exactly did they revert Adam into a dormant stage again?

well, from the episode 8 scene, it seems like it starts out open, and is baggy until she pushes the magic button that not only tightens the suit material, but also vacuums the air out. of course, it doesnt seem quite obvious how the shapeless edge becomes the well defined. Especially interesting is ...

I dont think I've ever experienced ego-death, but I have experienced stretches of time where I pretty much stopped thinking and was just intaking information as pure information and nothing else... As for the experience as ego death, is it really so much that his perceptions of them change, as t...

Thats kind of what I was getting at. The scenes in the entire sequence before Shinji strangles Asuka seem to push Shinji towards accepting instrumentality; essentially, these scenes all show him how having AT fields sucks. At the same time though, I dont know if the two scenes with Asuka are so much...

@ sketch
Asuka- sooo...whats up?
Shinji-....I'm pregnant

well, I guess its like a production cap?

At the same time, the Eleventh Angel does seem somewhat suspicious; it was introduced into NERV three days before in a protein wall (Bardiel was introduced in a similar way, I suppose). I got the impression that Gendo was covering up so that everything stayed with the scenario, which could c...

I recall reading somewhere that Second Impact marked the end of creation of all new angels?

I recall a long time ago, there was a discussion that ended up spanning 10 pages about a coffee cup. In contrast, I find this discussion a lot more interesting. I just read a bit of Freud, which puts a whole new twist on the "Ikari Shinji who watches others and the Ikari Shinji in others' m...

Gah...
I realize that I'm being rather stupid with asking about a song like that....

Thanks!~
Do you happen to know if they are singing in Japanese or English? I cant seem to tell...

I think like other Freudian concepts, Destrudo has been taken to an extreme in Eva. Just like how the Ego barrier becomes that which actually defines your body (as opposed to Freud's thought that places the Ego as determining what you PERCEIVE as you), Destrudo goes from impulse to destr...

Well, I still have some questions regarding the swing, the significance of Shinji's statement at the beginning of the scene (its just like when i started cello. I thought if I came here, I could find something). I kind of viewed the entire pyramid thing in a similar way to Ornette. If yo...
