I don't think this answers the question of why Ritsuko says Rei is "the only vessel that has a soul". Come again? Also, if "the cupboard was bare", one has to wonder where the souls for the lifeforms coming into the world every day come from... Additionally, there is the whol...

"Is it that Yui is still in there"? For the unforseeable future -- yes. "Do you think it's possible that Gendou had been trying to create a third impact with Rei beforehand?" "Possible"? Rei was his little personal tool for initiating and controlling the bloody thi...

NO EXCUSES! :whacks around with large paper fan:

When time came to bring Evangelion to the western world, Anno chose to name it "Neon Genesis Evangelion" Aaron, I'm surprised you haven't picked up on this myth yet. The dichotomy was there from the very beginning. "Neon Genesis Evangelion" existed in the original Japane...

Ritsuko should be glad Gendo popped a cap in her ass. It was either that, or dying a terrible death by emphysema a couple decades down the road. And if Kaji hadn't gotten himself killed, he could have accompanied her to lung cancer support groups (as a fellow "victim", of course...

And I can't really elaborate on what "sending away the final soul" means, since nothing along those lines even registers in my memory banks. Might help to pop the DVD in again and check what you're referring to. (Or, even better, quote the exact line off bochan_bird's scrip...

Can't really elaborate at the moment, since it's one of those things where I need to compile all the data in one place and make a concise argument. All I can really say right now is that things appear to more more complicated than AATF-->splat and ATF-->reformation; Anno decided to involve t...

Gotta love the supression of pagan peoples by taking over their holiday and changing what it means. I think it's even funnier that NOW so many "good Christians" don't even know the true story, even though all the data is readily accessible... I was going to order from jpqueen afte...

Yahoo! Japan has more Eva crap that the mind can comprehend... You know, I always wonder every year -- how many Christians know that they're celebrating a Pagan holiday today? Ah, ignorance is a very mighty force indeed. (That and commercialism.) At least the Jehovah's Witnesses did ...

Thank gawd Anno didn't show us anyone smoking in the actual series. He kept it all off-screen. I always wondered if there was a particular reason for that... Perhaps Anno isn't a man of the habit himself. (He's a vegetarian, so who knows what other 'wacky' stuff he might do.&...

:oops:

To nitpick, it wasn't ADV this time -- it was AWL and her friends. I also doubt that she made up the rumors herself; she was just propagating preexisting ones.

Uhhh... I'm getting a new computer, or something.

Hey, Aaron, out of curiosity, how much did it cost to get that stuff sent to you from jpqueen?

actually the 350 of 520 kids on my highschool smoke..so i guess yeah it's "societally acceptable" in Greece.. Eeep... That's too bad. I don't know if this problem afflicts Europe in general, but when my parents visited Germany, they gushed about how much more 'advanced'...

It's the Yahoo Japan Auction site. :P

so could you please send me the MP3?i like a lot this song..

I'll try to dig up the CD-R with the album sometime...

Watch EoE again, and this time turn the commentary off. It is bullcrap.

I think Renewal is a remastered version of the series, I could be wrong. And yup, that's a promo poster, I believe... Indeed. ADV is releasing the TV series portion of Renewal over here as "Platinum". you don't like the cover of Platinum:05?i personally love it.. i like seeing Kaj...

EVA-R. I guess because Aaron is secretly a fanboy or something.

It's a rare, out-of-print video game music image album. Granted, there ARE places where it can be purchased...

Oh, you mean an EASY way to get the song? Well, you can always nag Reichu for the MP3. But what would I know of such things?

bp32 wrote:Yeah, I am not sure anyone has worked out the 'physics' behind these two concepts yet....

Well, here's a hint: It involves destrudo and libido.

Looks like a promotional poster to me.

BTW, I hate the cover of PLATINUM 0:5. Where Sadamoto gets the idea that fans want to see Kaji smoking... I have no idea. It totally ruins his suave, sexy image.
