Since its about time I finally retire my Shinji cosplay (being 24 makes it hard to convincingly portray a 14 year old), here's a preview of my new Evangelion cosplay. https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/t1/1174633_10152787418550016_2025041367_n.jpg Thrown together quic...

The Ramiel upgrade was a much-needed one. Makes for a more active and engaging Angel. As for the Kaworu part... I don't think of that as a twist, really. I mean, I don't think there was anyone who didn't think Kaworu was going to show up in Rebuild. And since the manga set the precedent ...

Okay, so I've let this thread sit for a bit here, since I was waiting for my R2 pre-Renewal DVDs to come in. Well, they arrived today, I went to work comparing them to the notes I left in the first post of this thread. It was a good thing, too, as I have a few edits now that I need to make to th...

Because Rei realized that Gendo's kindness to her was because he was using her for his own goals, whereas Shinji seemed to care for her more just out of the goodness of his heart. She was devoted to Gendo at first because he was the only one who had ever shown her kindness, but once Shinji did t...

I personally would consider Pre-3I Instrumentality as the souls "fusing together", giving the people (or at least Shinji, since he's seemingly having many privileges ;) ) the opportunity to communicate on a cryptically and highly emotional level. Yeah, that's basically...

so if the hybrid Rei was used as a mark, which memories are used in Shinji so that she could be driven into a corner? where did the Misato and Asuka scenes came from? Because hypothetically their still on their body and Rei shouldn't have access to them yet. I'm a little confused about what...

I'm confused about why you quoted from me here.

In order to enjoy any form of media, you have to realize that the opinions of the creators may vary with your own. Just because you view time as working in a certain way, the creators of this show have taken a definite stance on how time works in the context of the show. If that's what you belie...

He means the version released on the R2 DVD KIBA-7, where EoE is presented as two distinct episodes, as opposed to one movie. Details can be found here. And to answer the original question, trust me, a few weeks ago I spent several days trying to locate that version online. Pretty sure it can't ...

I totally agree that Rei is indeed a nice and caring person, however you should note that this Rei died. Since it seems that the Rei's memories are personal, Rei 3's memories should be different to the Rei 2, however since they share the same eva, It is possible that there are memory leaks ...

I actually started writing these over a year ago, and never finished them until now. Oh well, better late than never. 003: While part of my thoughts here are best left for episode 21, Gendo's eyesight needs are curious. His newer glasses strike me as being more sunglasses than something he needs...

Not necessarily a "character" per se, but on the subject of cuteness in Evangelion, the singer Aya (Of the "Aya Bossa Techno" version of FMttM) sounds pretty cute, even if her grasp of English pronunciation is... not so good. Arguably, it only lends to the cuteness factor.

Well, she could predict the future so far what the Dead Sea Scrolls predicted, AKA Seele's scenario. She did it to ensure that she could protect Shinji when he was ultimately used as a pilot. What's debatable is whether or not she knew how Gendo would react, you know, with the whole going ro...

I'm with you on all of this, save Death. With the DC episodes already containing all the new footage and more there's no need for it... it's just a recap, much like the first half of 14. At least 14 has a framing story that actually matters however, unlike Death's rather pointless s...

Ah, sempai, your translation skills in the past were already amazing, but now you say you're even better? Wondeful! (Aaaaaand I think this is the point where I've officially run this whole "sempai" gag into the ground. That is, if I hadn't already.) Anyway, yeah, that m...

Uh-oh. Now that you've mentioned it actually sounds like some kind of song when slowed down... yeah, my interest in identifying it is going up significantly. Maybe someday. I still have a ton of work left for this page still, as well as some other projects for other music-related pages on the wi...

Ah, bad wording on my part. I meant to say that I've seen the information gleaned from the music menu on other places (the bit about "I, Shinji" was from the commentary from episode 1, and the Arka bit was from a note on the translation page for Proposal), but I've never ac...

Hi. Could you explain some acronyms for me the newb? OA 1-26...original airing? NPC? Ah, sorry. I've been thinking entirely in abbreviations due to all my work on music stuff in the wiki. OA: On-Air version. This is pretty much used to describe the normal versions of the episodes. I don't k...

Ah, sempai, you noticed my thread~! Don't worry, I'm more than happy to pick up the torch for all EVA-music-related things. The music is what has always managed to bring me back to EVA, time and time again, and it holds a very special place in my heart. (Stop me before I list all of the ...

I came close twice. Upon my very first viewing of the series, I marathon'd episodes 14-23 (up until that point I was watching it on a shitty DVD player that made even watching a single episode without interruption nearly impossible). Years later, I introduced it to two of my friends over...
