Yeah, this is A LOT like the rpgcodex forums.

This is the obstacle facing me. What little Eva fanfiction I enjoyed (most of it being lemon, hehe), is well-written technically, with nearly perfect grammar, fairly rich language and few awkward turns of phrase or monotonous passages. What I *didn't* enjoy presents a good example of how...

I prefer an explanation that fits (somewhat) with the story given by Asuka's VA; throughout the events of EoE, she experienced what human nature is really like, something that she's been pushing away for all of her previous life, and those words were her instinctive response to that ...

Hey Defectron, if aside from all that you have any interest in roleplaying videogames (or even if you don't, they've hardly been the focus of discussion for the last 2-3 years)... wanna join the RPG Codex forums ? Our friendly, easygoing community would be fascinated to hear all that...

Physically, I"m attracted to graceful-looking women and pretty guys (actually in a relationship with a guy at present, his looks are simply ok, but he's a genius - literally - and just a great dude overall; he fell madly in love with me over the net), but I feel so very stupid about...

In particular, I could only describe my sensations while reading Home/Bodies by quoting Adolf Robotnik's infamous text "Mein Pingas", utterly proscribed in all civilized countries.

I fear they've done permanent damage to my... most vulnerable body parts. Duuude... That's...

You, sir, are made of 100% crystallized WIN. That's frankly the best porn I've ever seen, period.

O_o Care to elaborate? I'm not really seeing where politics fits into this or why having a particular political ideology should make one more likely to return from the ooze. Unless you're actually using "socialist" in some kind of not-necessarily-government-related term. Because l...

I was left with the impression that the children of Adam are not very compatible with human civilization; Kaworu, while fascinated by it, was still fundamentally appalled by the alienation and pain that inevitably accompany it. They'd probably choose to turn their backs on it in some way.

I'm normally quite pessimistic about human behavior (and this was made worse by my recent obsession with studying Nazi Germany; it laid bare the facts of human nature that would've been scarcely believable beforehand); however, I disagree strongly with Tines and his view of I doubt t...

Assuming that enough people find the will and desire to return, what kind of society do you think they would build? Will there still be nation-states? Would people understand each other and themselves better, containing their selfishness and aggression somewhat? Would the absence of the still-tanged...

I love Panthers, they're hands down the best unit in most WW2 computer wargames. Sweet gun, great (and actually sloped, god the Nazis were kinda dumb not to have slopes on everything) front armour, good speed and optics, what else do you need? Hint: some damn reliability, luckily it'...

Looks like someone is going mad from the revelation. ;) http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4Cy1c7SG1_I/THVAVl3vnDI/AAAAAAAAAD4/VsnqBSa4zAU/s1600/csi_yeah_skyline.jpg The interesting exercise is to match NGE against Campbell's Monomyth. Sure, Eva adheres to it quite closely, having a very classical s...

Someone mentioned those in another thread, and, well, going through the TVTropes page, I found it hard to pin NGE down to one or two; instead, let's - maybe - stretch definitions a bit to demonstrate how Eva (quite deliberately) encompasses all of the human culture's basic storytelli...

I'd say there's nothing perverse about it; at least there wouldn't be by saner standards. Oh, and Well the answer is really quite subversive, actually. You see, it's not really Shinji that came back; Yui came back using Shinji's form. That's what is meant by 'had to come ...

"Serious" opinions on Eva, especially mainstream ones, have long looked down on its fanservice-y moments. Y'know, Shinji falling on Rei, Asuka explaining "thermal expansion", etc. However, I believe that, aside from there being nothing wrong with a little eye candy in any ser...

And who are you to judge someone whose situation you know nothing about, sir?

Well, The Comedian might be technically evil, but I read him as a failure of a man, who saw what life is really like all too well but had absolutely no strength to accept it, so he had to grow his (really disgusting) shell or just die. And after learning what his supposedly oh-so-idealistic ...

Of course both renditions of 25-26 are stunning to the core (can hardly keep from crying - literally - upon hearing Komm, Susser Tod), but, when it comes to the adult charachers, I always found ep. 15 very touching, dramatic, and brilliantly life-like. There's so little said between the ...
