Seriously. She questions everything. EVERYTHING. By the 50th "But sir, if we do that..." , I'm amazed Gendo doesn't go down there and slap a bitch. Also, someone that breaks down and covers her face when she sees a monster fight probably shouldn't take jobs that involve monito...

I swear, these goddamn modayrn gamers have absolutely no standards for RPGs... Why!? Of all the decent WRPG's out there... You choose Dragon Age 2?! :headdesk: I suppose it was only a matter of time before some mentioned DA2.... and the vitrol started flying. Somewhere between the fandom expect...

Aside from comic relief, chances are because he's one of the very few penguins left in the world after Second Impact. All(?) species of penguin exist south of the equator, and they're commonly found in Anarctica. After 2I, there would be next to none of them left (even moreso tha...

Dherlakekl thanks for making me sad that that'll never happen. If there were any possibility of something of that sort happening, Pixar would have collaborated on a project with Ghibli by now. I wouldn't say that it's impossible. The Kingdom Hearts games exist because of a chance meetin...

Thanks for the very interesting read, though there's two key details I noticed: ⋅ Pixar (or at least some of them) are fans of Gainax's work. ⋅ Gainax asked to visit Pixar, so the inverse is presumably also true So you just have wonder.... could a collaboration be...

I love Bayonetta. I remember starting it for the first time and seeing the angels at the beginning cutscene and thinking, "Hey, those look just like the MP Evas. I wonder if..." And then I realized Fly Me To The Moon was playing in the background. :harpy_liplick: Gotta love subtle Eva ref...

Completed Castlevania: Lords of Shadow about a week back, very fun and interesting game. The series has been struggling to break into 3D for years now, so it's about damn time in that regard. Superbly balanced mix of combat, puzzles, and platforming. Still, some improvements could be made for th...

I'm fairly sure that the song is meant to be taken as a joke. Unfortunately very few people seem to understand that, particularly on the internet for some reason. Must be the lack of a voice to provide the sarcastic inflection. To be quite honest, I haven't followed the guy's works at al...

Very tricky question, particularly when the series has a spectacular ensemble cast. Okay, it's technically not one (due to Shinji, Asuka, and Misato being the central characters of the show, with Rei, Gendo, and Ritsuko are barely behind them)... but just about any named role gets more c...

Episode 26: “You can learn to like yourself, then you'll be happy.” Episode 26': “If you're happy, anywhere can be heaven.” Nowhere: “This is how you learn to like yourself...” Very true, but that's also arguably one of the series' biggest strengths. Everyone has their own uniqu...

Best part of the Sachiel battle for me when I first saw NGE was the aftermath. I thought the Evas were just more stupid giant robots, so the exposed face blew my mind. I suppose I come from the other side of how I approached the series; being a huge Transformers fan when I was younger meant the who...

Tricky question, so I'll go a smidge overboard and take a quick glance at each Angel's battle. Sachiel -- A good start to the series, does an excellent job of foreshadowing the effectiveness of a berserk Eva. Shamshel -- It slices, it dices! It gets slain by a single stab! Not the best battl...

I somewhat suspect the split was made while Rei1 was dead, actually. It's gotta be easier to work with a soul when it isn't busy, right? I don't think that it would be reasonable, as every other contact experiment required a living person to go into the Eva. There's also the matter ...

If a porton of Rei 2's soul had been recently removed to ensoul Unit-00, Unit-00's soul would look like Rei 2. That it is eventually identified as Rei 1 indicates that the soul did not age inside Rei 2 for any significant amount of time. "Rei 1" also takes on multiple appearances ...

Split from Rei's Betrayal . Wait... so you're saying she was only fragmented a few days before the series starts? I'm not sure I buy that. This soul-splitting would seem like the kind of thing that would really mess with your personality (Kyoko much?), and thus is a good explana...

There are a few reasons for this, at least based on what I've discerned: Rei III is Rei II..... but not quite. There's a lengthy article on the wiki which concludes that the resident soul of Unit 00 is "Rei 1" (based upon the scripts for the analysis of the character in episode...

Not sure if anyone else around here has tried it yet, but I've been having a lot of fun lately playing Castlevania: Lords of Shadow . It's surprisingly good, but very different from the various "Metroidvanias" which have dominated the (successful) games of the series since ...

Actually a rather tough question to answer, I usually have difficulty understanding my emotions as it is. I would say the main source of my interest in Evangelion is intellectual rather than emotional, I'm generally more concerned with decoding the plot of the series as well as the motives of th...

I knew next to nothing about it, only that it was one of the more famous giant robot shows. So just about every single twist in the plot came as a surprise, and quite a few of the more subtle oddities stood out as well. The only thing I was made aware of was that the last two episodes were weird ...

How about they school score? Do they get decent school score? Shinji is shown to be struggling with chemistry or physics (thermal expansion could fit into either, though it's more commonly seen in chem) in episode 10, though not anymore than the average student his age. That particular ...
