Wow, @DarkBluePhoenix. I feel for you. While no one has ever (to my knowledge) spread that rumor about me, I definitely have had the good fortune to have a lot of people be very unkind to me when I was younger ( :sarcasm: ). I can absolutely agree with, and have felt exactly the same way, as your fi...

Happy birthday, Reichu!

I see. Well, in that case, good luck on that final class!

Ah. I was just thinking, "Psych majors take statistics. NGE is the anime equivalent of Psych 101. Ergo..." . Well, good luck in university!

Statistics, Ray? Don't suppose that's toward a psych degree?

The look feels extremely familiar to me, too, but I just can't place it. Can I say, that this looks very much like the headpiece on Gurren Lagann ? That was Imaishi's work, who worked as a key animator on NGE. (And, of course, stayed on at Gainax to produce TTGL.) This might be what you're reminded...

Well, Ray, try looking at it this way: You're not (I hope) enjoying watching people suffer. You're watching bad things happen to people, which elicits an emotional response from you. You see them go through things, and gain an appreciation for what it's like for people suffering like that. The fact ...

Just, btw, there're 14 volumes in manga. And, vol.14 of one pic seems to be in JP.

Not bad, phwodges! Do you have any other scores I could download?

On a (presumably) lighter note; Anyone seen Noragami? I like the artstyle, and the whole kami-thing, but is it just another generic shounen battle? Or, does it have the depth that we Evageeks crave?

Hopefully Funimation has been doing their due diligence to assure they'll acquire Evangelion 3.0+1.0 & the original series in the near future. It's funny; I kind of assumed it was a foregone conclusion that they'd get 3.0+1.0... Has Netflix ever dubbed anything themselves? If not, that might be...

I actually think you're right, that those ARE the newer prints of the old volumes. The reason I say that, is that if you look at the second picture, the name "khara" only appears on the later volumes. In the first picture, however, it appears on the first few as well. This is because the c...

I think the idea is that Gendo was sending Shinji to live with his teacher. Which is why he had a bag. That's why the trauma was inside the train: Because, while in the station, he was still with Gendo. He was only alone after he was in the train. But, he seems to have somewhat repressed the actual ...

Well, Sachi, do you have any other things you like to do? Some sort of goals you might set for yourself... Perhaps an exercise regimen? Or picking up a musical instrument? (Don't pick up the piano. Heavy.)

@TheCarkolum I see. Perhaps, instead of "non-human", we might say that the common thread, is being confronted with the presence of the "other". And that both your and my interpretations are two aspects of that? (By the way, that picture, which episode is it from? Just wondering.)...

EoE!Shinji, for the things he did to Asuka. Outside of that, nothin' comes to mind.

Hi, folks! Just wanted to post my Fly Me to the Moon Cover, played on my Yamaha tenor recorder. The image used is from The Eva Monkey's site.

In the AMV: I found Misato's beer scene quite funny, right after the Angels, as the music starts to swell. 02's marine fight was nice, and the way it led into the (beautiful) bridge, with Gendo (at the bridge!), is really cool. Shinji and Asuka are paying close attention to the music, I see :). And ...

Well, as this thread has apparently already been reanimated, figure I'll throw my own 2 cents in. To me, the only time Rei ever actually struck me as somewhat 'creepy' was that look of pure... desire? GNR gave 01 during 3I. I like the idea previously mentioned in the thread, that that was Rei I comi...

@TheCarkolum About the beach symbolism: I always thought it was more of a... primordial thing (like the sea of nutrients from which life evolved). Specifically, those scenes during 3I in EoE, where Shinji is with Rei, and Kaworu, that it symbolized a sort of recreation of life. Or perhaps, of... Not...
