Just on the matter of whether the strangulation scene ever actually happened, you should consider again what happens, and what is said during the scene. We open with Shinji: Shinji:I want to help you in some way... and to be with you forever. This in itself, is one of the most unlikey things to hav...

Yes. This is fairly obviously what happened in Evangelion between Shinji and Asuka. I still don't see quite how it makes him such a monster, though, unless you believe (which I don't) that he was slapping Asuka around. It's easy to accept Shinji as a bad person if you consider t...

<keep> That's a poor argument. All of the continuity which takes place behind closed doors is hinted at, and otherwise laid bare for the intelligent audience to discern. I refuse to believe there are vast tracts of back-story going on that we don't know about - that's just poor writing....

I'm aware that a great many hold a rather low opinion of Shinji, but loathsome is an adjective I rarely if ever heard to describe him. I take it that you have an extreamly negative view of Shinji, that goes beyond the pedestrian "He's a wimp" grievence held by many. I'm curiou...

Well, like I said it depends on your point of view. The point of view of when exactly something happens, how exactly something happens, or why exactly something happens. From my perspective, I think it's possible that Shinji can be more loathsome than you think. And I don't think I'm mis...

I don't understand the point you are trying to make here; Kaworu doesn't appear anywhere in this sequence. He isn't in the sandbox; he isn't watching Misato and Kaji boink; he isn't in the "Kick" scene, and he isn't on the train. So why should he be in the Kitchen?...

Asuka wears a different shirt in that scene doesn't she? Promise to deliver the coffee pot rebuttle later but right now -- I NEED SLEEP!!!1!1 -- I've been up all night working on my portfolio and I don't want to write a page long reply right now. Originally posted on: 27-May-2005, 21:38 ...

2. We just had a scene that was plainly a replay of the "Kiss" scene with a different outcome, (kicking instead of kissing). Doesn't this make it likely that the Kitchen scene is also a replay? Or do you also think that the "Kick" scene also really happened, and was ...

Maybe because brainwashing Shinji is one of many scenarios they planned for. Misato spoke of using Adam, Lilith and the Evas. What we do know is that part of Seele's plan invloves seizing NERV so they can trigger 3I through controlled circumstances. However, in the event they fail to accomplish ...

Would Shinji ever be able to just strangle Asuka? After she gasped, Asuka didn't move at all, and her feet were dangling. You simply cannot kill someone that quick(and he didn't do that to Asuka, obviously. ;;P) Why would he have even gone back to the hospital if he resented her so ...

Brazil has decided that you're cute. Sony has decided to delay the release of Advent Children. Japan has decided not to include english subtitles in their DVDs to dicourage importers. And after reading this thread, I have decided it's impossible to prove anything Anno doesn't tell you wi...

Dear Author's of the fan geeks commentarry. I know we don't get along, but I have a blarg that you can use for your project concerning the ending credits. As I read, I noticed that you touched on the mystery of why Rei is featured upside down, spinning and slowly panning down the frame but I...
