I don't know, Eva-01/Yui just looms in the background and is completely passive during the keymoments of the film apart from the "scaring the crap out of JSSDF mmbers and saving Shinji" part. I see you're point. But to me, there is no "Evangelion" without Yui. Since she&...

well, Speed Racer sucked major behind at the box office (as I predicted) I was sad about it's box office. Because it's a really damn good film. let's see how the Transformers sequel and the live action Akira, Robotech and Dragon Ball all do "Transformers 2" will probab...

My favorite character is Rei. But the ones I relate to the most, is Asuka and Shinji. Mostly because they are capable of showing their emotions. And I can relate to Asuka's anger more then anything else. And I think Shinji is brave for crying, and whinny, instead of trying to be another badass h...

What I don't understand about the romantic aspect with Shinji/Rei in the Manga, is didn't Manga-Shinji himself state something along the lines (paraphrasing here) that he doesn't like Rei romantically, but likes her because she's like a part of him that's missing (Yu...

wait, since Rei has the soul of Lilith, who is the mother of humanity , as Kawaru mentioned, could Shinji mistaken her as being motherly? She's basically a clone of Shinji's mother. Well..........not really a "clone." But she does have Shinji's mothers DNA. Which would make he...

but those feelings arent real
isnt Rei a shell with a soul in it just trying to be human?

Aren't we all??

Yes, I do think she loved him. Now whether it was a sisterly love, or the love a woman is still up for debate. But yes, she did love him. It's shown in a subtle kind of way, but it's there. In the manga, the love is basically thrown in you're face. Which is fine with me, since I love the...

Uh, what? EOE had just as happy an ending as the TV ending, if you pay attention. Oh please! It's depressing. Yes, it does show a glimpse of hope. Infact, I'll even say that the whole film was about hope. But the brutality, and sadness in the final scene is over-whelming, and can be very de...

The only problem is that LCL is derived from Lilith only, as it's basically the soup we all evolved from. Adam and his children have no connection to LCL. And the outline probably isn't Adam, because she was in Antartica, not the middle of some city. But the blood of LCL could come from Ada...

Eva made me a fan of Anime I'v always been a fan of anime, before I saw "Eva." But then I went through a period in my life, where I started to get tried of anime, and didn't want anything to do with it. "Evangelion" brought me back into that world, and I love anime all o...

Nice to see you here (finally) mj, and a great first post I must say! I think by now you know inside and out what all I love about NGE and what attracted me to it from the beginning, so I'll spare you the epic. But you seemed to hit all the main points that hooked me and have kept me ho...

The relieved, cured happy-Shinji ending, is I believe the kind of ending Anno originally & still wanted before the I think "End Of Evangelion" is exactly what Anno wanted from the beginning. But budget cuts, and other things kept it from happening. So the series ending came out of ins...

There's no way in Ep 1 that she's aware enough in her state to actually see and recognize (not like she has seen him in 11 years) him and come over the suppressors and all in blink of eye . It does seem that way, doesn't it?? When in reality, anything is possible. And a parent w...

1) it tells Eva-01 has some sort of crush on Shinji earlier than its necessary to know I didn't think that, but I did feel that there was a connection between the two of them, that would be explained later in the series. I couldn't even guess the connection. And I was shocked at what wa...

I liked the whole surreal vibe, Anno's visual style, and the open-ended, cryptic nature of the story. It's like a puzzle with multiple solutions. :thumbsup: Very true. And like most great art, it's REALLY open for interpretations. Almost every one of them are valid. Although some interp...

Thank you for posting. :) I would go as far as to say that whether you relate to the character like this or not is what determines whether you are a fan of the show or not. That's probably true. But there are a lot of people who dislike Shinji, and still manage to enjoy the series. Although,...

I don't think "Rebuild" is a sequel. But I wouldn't mind if it is, since it could become another thought provocking experience for all "Eva" fans. :grin: But this is why I don't think it's a sequel. 1. The LCL could of come from Adam, after the completion of secon...

On unconfirmed film will be called the "EVANGELION: 2.0 Don`t be" and released in the spring... 2009 Oficially it's planned on december 2008 . I don't think it's going to be called "Don't be." From what I'v heard, it might be called "You are (Not)...

I use to think it was Asuka, then I thought it was Misato. Now I'm starting to think it's Yui Ikari.

I don't know. But she definitly has a superiority complex.
