If Mari is a clone too like Rei and Asuka (likely given their last names all end with -nami), that might explain why she seemingly hasn't aged since meeting Gendo and Yui in college, because the Mari we see now is not the original that met Gendo and Yui in college, but rather a clone of her. Perhaps...

Is the thing about the pilots all being clones true? Is it all of them, or just some of them? If it's just some, which are clones and which aren't?

I'm really starting to question if the person who made the summary is just bullshitting but trying to hide it by saying they might have "misremembered" or "forgot", which is usually what someone says before lying to cover their ass so that when their lie is exposed they can poin...

Yeah, the thing about the movie connecting the Rebuilds to the anime, that's a hard pill to swallow. It honestly perplexes me because of just how fan-fictiony it sounds. Didn't Anno (or one of the other members of the production crew) say in an interview around the time they first start making the R...

Wait, so Mari knew Gendo and Yui while they were in college? That's pretty much what happened in the bonus chapter from the end of the manga. Does this mean that chapter is actually canon? I thought Sadamoto said it wasn't and not to take it too seriously because it was something he did just for fun...

I bet Reichu could figure it out.

This is interesting. One of the Designer of 1.0 and 2.0 has revealed that in 1.0 there's something "spoily" about the Nebuchadnezzar's Key , that no one will find until Shin Eva. https://mobile.twitter.com/joey__jones/status/1350093943954788355?s=21 Welp, guess that means I'm rewatching 1...

So false alarm?

There was much speculation about this when Q first came out but then the Miyamura interview got translated. "She's a general now" etc. Asuka also had a college degree and was a Captain of the European Airforce at age 14, so when you consider those accomplishments, her managing to become a...

It'd be total character assassination to have Asuka still feel something for Shinji after 14 years though. A few of Mari's lines towards Asuka regarding Shinji hints that we're missing a big chunk of context, true, but if they even remotely go down that route I hope to God it's not at the expense o...

I'm not saying the Rebuilds are going to copy specific plot points from the manga exactly. Just that the writers could repurpose some of the general ideas or concepts in a way that fits with the lore of the Rebuilds. For example, the general concept or idea of Asuka being a test tube baby could ring...

So how would that work, one Japanese woman boinked one British dude and a german one, but then wouldn't the Japanese surname at least be the same.... Who says that's how it had to have happened? They could do something like the manga did where Asuka was a test tube baby who was engineered to be per...

I think it's more likely they'll go for the angle of Asuka and Mari being half-sisters rather than lovers. The woman next to Yui in the photo Fuyutsuki shows Shinji in 3.0 bears a great resemblance to both Asuka and Mari. I think that would make for a more interesting dynamic having them be siblings...

If that really were the case, then it wouldn't have taken them this long to make the movie.

I appreciate your advice, and I’m glad to hear that she acts less pessimistic in the Rebuilds. Unfortunately I already know what happens. Asuka is thought to be killed when Shinjo refuses to harm her any further but is forced to watch the Eva in autopilot destroy her. I also read about 3.33 as well...

The official canonical length of a Star Destroyer is 1,600 meters (5,259 feet), so from that we can extrapolate the length of the Wunder and possibly that of the EVAs as well, if these models are to scale.

Glad to see you're doing much better now. Since you started watching the show and got to Episodes 25 and 26, does that mean you've now finished watching all of the original show?

The animation does look quite nice, but the latently present pedo vibes (sluit-suit anyone?) really spikes into uncomfortable with me here... looks like Rei's getting ready for dinner with Gendou... Something about 14 year olds with make-up is just sheesh It probably would have fit better if the ad...

Kind of reminds me of the Disney Star Wars movies, with the first movie being a safe soft reboot (The force awakens) and the second movie being an edgy mess of script (The Last Jedi). I hope the last movie it's better than The Rise of Skywalker. I remember making that same comparison a while back i...
