ReiAyanami25: Why do you mention Honda? Isn't he mostly just responsible for finalizing the Evas' visual look in the new movies, as the mecha animation supervisor? In-story mechanics of the Evas would primarily be the providence of the script, hence Anno and the script assistants. I assume ...

In some ways, the problem with this kind of discussion is that it is trying to find order and logic in a creation that doesn't have it... This is something that I myself have often pondered. I wonder whether Anno and Honda actually decided on any of the finer details of the workings of an Eva, ...

I considered that later in my post. And yes, how was he supposed to know? Shinji has very little knowledge of Unit 01's inner workings or capabilities, so yes, I shall take that back.

personally I think that he's a looper of some kind Meaning that this is the same Kaworu as we saw in NGE, such as they share the same memories? But when I look back, I realize that it may make sense, due to the dialogue on several occasions, as well Kaworu saying at the end of 2.0: "This t...

His intention was exactly as I stated. He wanted to get Ayanami back. His job as an Eva pilot is to destroy angels, and protect humanity from extinction. He failed catastrophically at the second even so far as saying he doesn't give a shit about himself or the world. I personally think that Shi...

He's always been thinking about Shinji, he already knew him since the beginning and he seemed to know a lot about Shinji and his feelings How did he already know Shinji? Excuse me if the answer is glaringly obvious. It could be for the same reasons he exposed in the bath scene from the TV serie...

Bottle Caps? Why?

It's not respectful, it's down right fucking disturbing. Kaworu's self-worth is so minimal that he's more worried about Shinj who just completely fucked him over for his own emotional neediness. And, once again taking blame for Shinji's fuck-up in pulling the spears. Sure, space...

Indeed.

That said, Freud really stands out in history, because he paved the way for the study of human behavior in a scientific context. Most of his theories have since been either entirely disproven or otherwise modified, but he was the first person to put psychology firmly in the spotlight and push it be...

Nah, I mean the "SUDDENLY, A BANANA PEEL OUT OF NOWHERE" and "CHILI POWDER IN MY JOCKEY SHORTS" expressions. Not that the scene is too serious to make fun off. I agree the expressions are better in Rebuild And the animators do not ruin the character's faces in NME either... ...

It seems to be the more likely option, yes.

Ha!

There were people whose perceptions/opinions really changes once the say the camrip, lots of things that come across through the visuals alone, according to those who saw it in Japanese... The visuals do carry a lot of message, yes, but I found that the audio was useful. I am thanking myself for ei...

The end of the world? What rubbish.

Thank you...
I find that his theories are often shrouded and packaged in spiels of complex, richly layered explanations and examples in order to carry across the bones of a fairly straightforward concept.

I have generally assumed that the angels simply wait, in some sort of hibernation state, concealed in geological and other natural features until their instincts wake them and alert them to the fact that their presence is needed. This could be completely random, but I believe that once the angels kn...

What?

After the berserk incident with Unit 01 in episode 19, perhaps Seele managed to obtain genetic information from the S² Engine which was obtained. As we know, cloning and building from Angelic material is common in Eva, and I have simply assumed that Seele did just that in order to utilize multiple e...
