How can you "secretly like" someone you've just met? Don't be so literal about the tsundere comment. I'm just referring to the character type you see coming out in that final scene. And have you've never been suddenly attracted to someone upon first meeting them? By that l...

They both seem miffed about Asuka's suggestion that he's hitting on her, which was only a product of her ego to begin with. It's typical anime tsundere stuff. She's not really annoyed. He's embarrassed. Like it's impossible for a female and a male to be friends... I didn'...

He's staring because random metaphysical deja vu feeling. There are closeups because they don't want to show the face of the mystery girl right away - it's only later that we see that it's Asuka, ie, someone whose fate the audience is probably invested in. Basic storytelling. This i...

I can't believe this is actually a question.

I suggest you finish watching the original Eva series, new production episodes and The End of Evangelion before continuing to post on this forum. Spoilers are everywhere. Also, you should because it's amazing, and what are you waiting for?

*It sucks *It's bad *I hate it But really, wow, what a conventional ending at the end of such a long (LONG), strange road. This is far from a happy ending, if you ask me. This is frustrating. It's as if Sadamoto threw everything that was being taught away; Instead of living with what...

if it hadn't been so "rushed", Shinji would actually have had time to think about WTF was going on, and we'd end up with a very different result. The point is that he didn't have that time, and didn't get to properly talk to ppl, percieving only that they hate his ass with...

The only thing that felt off about 3.0 was the pacing of the end climax, and that even felt better after a second viewing. Q does well to finally have a pacing like that of an original, underived film. 1.11 felt too much like 6 episodes crammed into 90+ minutes... I actually felt 3.0 felt like 6 ep...

If there's any residual attachment to her, it's expressed through her laying down next to him, not through that so-called caress - or hey, it might very well have been a subconcious factor somewhere deep down, this is Asuka after all, but her primary intention was most likely just to stop h...

As for Asuka's future role, i think it will revolve around something only Asuka and Shinji can do together (as someone else pointed out). Asuka and Shinji being forced to set aside their differences to co-operate on something would be a neat payoff to the running theme of everyone in th...

Don't forget Gunbuster.

I think the Adam and Eve idea is more a metaphor than something that should be taken literally. They are the first man and woman in a new world, right?

Not that I agree with it.

I honestly think it's meant to be somewhere in between. Anno reenforces the bleakness at the end, just as he relapsed into depression despite his resolve to move forward, but the message of hope is still present. To steer this back, I would say that's where Anno will leave the Rebuild verse....

Now, that last thing in quotes.. I'm still not convinced Anno is going for that particular message. I think Anno like any good writer spills His Contents onto the page in really interesting, dramatic ways. Super compelling characters. Very emotionally centered material. The TV show was basicall...

Oh dear, I hope not. Nothing ruins a good ending faster than an epilogue. I'm not saying it would be good but I can see it happening. The epilogue certainly ruined Nadia's ending! So am I correct in reading that the preview for FINAL attached after the credits is simply the FrankenEva fight...

...no one? This could be really interesting.

...yes I am entitled

Given that Asuka showed him more hostility than anyone, and yet didn't seem to be inclined to do this at the end, that seems awfully dubious. If anyone was inclined to go that route at all at this point he'd be dead already. It's hard to read Asuka in Q, and what she's thinking or f...

It's the curse of Eva.

Shinji will show himself to be a person who's not willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of one woman, thus stepping out of the shadow of his father. My other prediction: another 14 year timeskip, and the pilots are now seen in 28 year old bodies, fitting with the whole theme of taking res...

Dude

How can you forget?
That's one of the funniest shots in Evangelion.

Why is it so hard to believe she was in coma for 13 years and still has a crush on him ? ...because that's ridiculous, especially in light of everything that's happened in the past 14 years. That's what makes Q what it is and separates it from the original. In NGE, Shinji bonded with al...
