For all we know, that could be an animation error Yeah thats what Im saying. They are actually animated differently througout certain scenes and look much bigger than they should be in that opening shots. They dont look so bad on the NERV Hologram/diagram and the other shots when it is attacking. e...

ZOMG GIANT LIMITERS

If you look carefully, the limiters change in size througout the scene. In the innitial scene where they rise out of unit 02, they look big but in every other scene they are shown as shorter protrusions.

Evanescence: mouvement 2 is a smooth piano rearranged version of
my favorite song, Komm, Susser Tod.

It's not Komm, susser Tod it's Thanatos that you are thinking of Trueno. It's a really sombre remix of Thanatos.

Am I the only thinking Asuka might actually have been then one in control at that point? Thats the whole point. It looks suspiciously like she was in control and then we hear her scream as well which suggests she was concious most of the time from that point. If that does turn out to be the case an...

Anybody else think this is Fuyutsuki getting interregated

I thought it was Kaworu.He is shown with the same reddish background just before that scene. He lifts his head to look at whoever it is standing before him.

for mari's case, i think the suit has direct interface... kinda like bluetooth in your car stereo system which can hook up with your phone. Yeah I knew about the A10 clips but just thought it was interesting to see it directly represented like that on screen with her moving her hands at the sam...

The Vatican Treaty exists, more or less, to explain how Mari joins the main cast. And so what. It's not like her entire role in the rest of the films is going to revolve around the vatican treaty. It doesnt make her any less of an interesting character. And all this when you dont even know what...

I see. I think i need to watch it again.

It made me do a slight double take when I saw it aswell. 1:33:15

That's what comes of rummaging in Asuka's drawers.

Like father, like son then?

OH LAWD IS DAT SUM SEQUEL THEORY SHIT I SEE HERE

Please dont, I said I'd eat my evangelion dvd collection if this turns out to be a sequel. Im starting to convieniently loose my appetite.

It's probably the pair of them on the run from SEELE. I wouldnt want to hang around after the 3rd impact fiasco either. EDIT ( Actually, having read Mr Tines comment again and looked at the picture closer, it does seem more plausable that it is a flashback from long long ago when the dead se...

What exactly is the thing that so ticks our Count here so much?

Well thats the million dollar question isnt it. I understand the gist of what he is saying but thats about it and it still doesnt really ruin the film.

Maximilian, you just made me cry

Yeah that's pretty harsh what you have just laid down on the table there. Thats just rough thinking about. That is a pure evangelion moment.

And the children chosen by fate finally assemble.

Commence the speculation and minute questioning of that specific scene with kaworu and the final 4 alla battlestar stylee.

Nerv personnel held in confinement.

The shit is going to hit the fan then in other words.

That would be the scene where Shinji shouts at him calling him father after Rei is eaten and Shinji returns to pilot would it not? Do I detect a hint of sarcasm there as well with this latest little niggle we have. It's like '' shit ! Gendo's got stripy underpants on in that scene, r...

Not all NERV characters are supposed to be completely unthinking peons. It's a jolly good thing that they are not portrayed as such then isnt it. Not everyone at NERV is supposed to have a degree in silly politics either. Seriously your thinking too deeply about this. You must not like many fil...

Ritsuko: The Eva is a combat weapon. There is a backup ready for everything. Including the pilots.

The question is, is she talking about the dummy plug or actual other pilots from somewhere else.

Im kind of liking the way rebuild is exspanding into a bigger poltical arena.

Funny thing: that piece was actually lifted from the Kare Kano soundtrack. Most of the background music that people consider "cheesey" was also lifted from there. I never thought i will on day be watching Eva set to the K. K. soundtrack, but where it was deployed it actually fitted well, ...

It looks like forward thrusted open hand to me... Then again it is pretty big.

I thought he has some kind of bird of Prey sitting on his arm...maybe I should put my glasses on. Oh and it does look like Gendo.

Thanks a lot.

Everything is making more sense now.
