Yes, I know this is a generalisation bordering on stereotyping - but it is, none the less, my impression. I was actually going to point the finger towards an American attitude myself, but I thought better of it having been my first day posting here I didn't want to give off the impression that ...

Shinji's wanking is the most evil, evil thing in the history of things being evil; that it was a reason for his depression rather than a consequence of it, and that because Shinji is depressed and Shinji is Shinji, he can't think for shit. I've read quite a few posts, old and new, over ...

It's a continuation of the kitchen scene. He picks up where he left off. Before, she met his rage with indifference. Note that she just hangs there and lets him choke her in the kitchen. I always thought that everyone Shinji interacted with in the End of Evangelion--save Rei, Yui and Kaworu--in...

Thanks for the links. Your part about Yui's intent was quite interesting, actually. I was more interested, however, in the "natural" causes for third impact. Luckily there was a nice chunk dedicated to that. It seems to me that when humans contacted Adam, he proceeded to destroy Lilin ...

I realise this is probably a valueless topic to the vast majority of people by now, and is most likely well established to most; however, after reading the appropriate--or so I think--wiki sections and re-watching the series I just wasn't sure if I really understood how and what would occur to b...
