HAHA I wouldn't have it any other way.

The grapes of wrath joke you're looking for is in the spoiler'd storyboard bit.

What they retrieve from EVA-01 is a Zeruel/Rei/Shinji trihybrid.

Plug depth...that's an interesting one. I always thought plug depth was controlled mostly by the NERV bridge bunnies from the outside, but I guess the pilot would have some say over that as well. Then again, when Mari goes THE BEAST nothing shows her using any of those controls...could all be im...

Fact. I read it in a book somewhere, it must be true. XD

I think Fuyutsuki mentioned Eva-01 as being an ark for all humanity, at some point during the process of 3I.
As far as I know the scripted German was meant to say "LCL Füllung", though of course what we heard was something else entirely.

LEEROY ASUKAAAAA!!!! =D
Awesome, chaz. I love the video.

I get the feeling that post-Zeruel Eva-01 is endowed with powers (both fruits that is) that ensouled Seeds can only half match. Lilith, Adam and Tabris all fall into the latter category (with their souls that is).

Not true. The Angels never showed any ability to conjure up Sephiroth, and yet they were equally capable of causing 3I. Besides, going on the assumption that they were just there to conjure Sephiroth, the fact that there are ten Sephiroth would make the series of nine MPEs "complete", whic...

The EGF Wiki wrote: Eva cores also seem to generate their own supply of LCL (20, 23', 26') Hmm, but for voice command to work, you'd still have to have some basic level of stand-by - either by electricity/battery or by soul, which is how I went from that scene to the question of...

Does that win me the "Most Overlooked Designer" Award? :F

What crystallising said and , to add to that, I'm of the mind that this IS a brief (but substantial) berserker incident. Note the four-eyed flash, the raised synch ratio (while it isn't mentioned in tests, we DO hear from Ritsuko afterwards that they peaked) and the very fact...

Wait, what? I was always under the impression that the primary trigger for 3I was still the merging of Adam and Lilith, thanks to Rei and her floaty ATF trick. It was GNR that did all the planetary soul-collecting stuff during 3I even before Unit-01 got absorbed, right? Back on topic after this tang...

a) Dodging-the-question answer: Animator's license. They need to activate the Eva since there's an Angel around, so they automatically have LCL to fill the plug with. Fanwank answer: The Core probably holds loads of LCL, seeing as Unit-01's Core technically contains the sea of LCL. W...

@tehprognoob: That's what TL;DRs are for. @TAO: =D High five for electricity and particle-based sleep-state brain-invader Angels!! Oh, and for numerous possessed bodies. Great minds really do think alike. @Chowwow: I see what you mean by the overriding trends each season now, but then I suppose ...

Guess he's been busy lately, juding by his previous few posts. Don't worry, we can wait.

Gendo Ikari and his friend Wow, Gendo Ikari has friends? Man, you gotta point out that guy to me someday. :smirk: Anyway, you're missing the point. So it may have been one of the several ships that went to Antarctica (I was under the impression that Gendo and Fuyutsuki were on the aircraft ...

The massive amount of S2 power could have been more than provided for by Unit-01 alone, when you think about it.

True, but that's only to be expected given that they were created by different authors with different stories in mind. The fact is that Anno actually drew the giant warrior revival scene, a story which he apparently used to woo the ladies several times (unsuccessfully!) afterwards =D

Whoa whoa, wait a minute. Mari in Unit-05 is a clear exception to the rule. You've seen the tubes and mechanical legs, you know it's not the same story as other Evas and their pilots. The fact that the controls look mechanical or that they even seem to work in a mechanical way says nothing a...
