Re: is there any solid evidence that Misato feels any sexual attraction to Shinji?

Evageeks really loves that DC 23 scene but the fact is it's a very ambiguous scene that can be interpreted in more than a couple ways. Clearly it was inserted as foreshadowing for the kiss scene in EoE but it's not nearly as clear-cut. Umm.... The scene in Ep. 23 where Misato comes into Shinji's ro...

Re: Rei II rather than Rei III in Instrumentality

The usual explanation given for Rei turning against Gendo at the end of the series is that she has Lilith's complete soul, and thus is capable of seeing his manipulations for what they are. My issue with this is that this could easily be down to the character development she got in episode 23, ...

I'm fond of the notion that Rei I's soul was put in Rei II, and Rei II subsequently attempted a CE with Unit 00 and suffered the same fate as Kyoko. I find that notion far more palatable than that of Nerv collecting and dividing souls somehow, particularly given that we're never shown a...

Unit-01 has Yui's soul, not Rei's or Lillith's.

Most likely when Rei 1 was killed, her soul was divided between Rei 2 and Unit-00.

Rei 3's change in attitude is attributed to getting back the Unit-00 portion of the Rei soul, the part with memories of being murdered.

Skipping Mysterique Sign could cause problems down the road if they ever animate any more of the novels. The girl who hires them to find the computer president shows up again, and it's assumed we know who she is. Same thing with Remote Island, Itsuki's minions show up again.

They said that based on what the prosecutor provided them. Look, here's the thing: you can indict a ham sandwich. Any prosecutor who wants an indictment will get one, there's nothing to it. But this prosecutor didn't want one, so he presented his evidence in such a way that no indictmen...

Okay. I've seen this explanation before, and it makes no fucking sense. Her only purpose for being in Japan—and thus, her only purpose for learning Japanese—is because she has to fight Angels. She clearly has a good enough grasp on the language for her to understand orders from her commanding o...

The notion that Unit-01 is Shinji biting Gendo in half is refuted by the evidence presented in the show.

I think you might have a point with DEATH being its own canon, separate from NGETV. You could argue that DEATH is not followed by End of Evangelion but by REBIRTH and that, if you're studying and discussing this alternate canon, you should be watching DEATH & REBIRTH and not End of Evangeli...

I thought that Kaworu was an angel and that angels had the mission statement of wiping out humanity. Were they not actually trying to destroy humanity? Were they simply destined to?
