Maya is bad at her job, just like Gendo is bad with relationships, just like Asuka is bad at communicating, just like Shinji is bad at accepting himself, just like Rei is bad at emoting and so on...... It's dysfunction junction, people. You're not allowed on the show unless you have glaring...

Well the situations were entirely different, but I see your point.

Absolutely, from a plot mechanics standpoint, the questioning of her superiors is to make sure the audience is clear on things. But within the context of the story, she's a liability. Your comments about her connection to Ritsuko are spot on. Akagi would let a lot go in exchange for the ego boo...

I thought the 1st one was better.

If you haven't already, don't bother with the 4th movie, though definitely bother with the 3rd.

Did you ever play the first two games? I played FO2. They're different games, and I treat them as such. IMO, FO2 is "here's a main plot, but it's set in a giant, explorable world." FO3 is "here's a giant, explorable world, but I guess there's a main plot." FO...

Wth is with the FO3 hate?

It's a great game if you like exploring. Sure, the landscape is generally bleak, but once you get passed that, the game has the feel of "adventuring" down pat.

:asuka_thumbsup: Edit: huh, turns out that Funi have put the dub of the elevator scene up on youtube. Its clip 4 should you want to look for it. I think it goes pretty well though I think a couple of lines are a bit clunky but thats probably a timing/lip-flap thing. Eh, the new elevator scene made ...

You just need to be a little creative / observant. - 2I resulted in something(s) exploding in blood a la the Angels. (c.f. Maya) -- This explosion was so intense that it squirted all the way to the Moon and flooded the oceans of Earth. -- Tsunami power dumped things the size of frig...

thanks but i noe wut guilty pleasure means, but i dont think it applies to ep9 and 10, like someone once said everything of eva has a meaning, so i disagree about it being silly episodes, since it shows how Shinji and Asuka develops their relationship while fighting agaisnt angels I'm sorry, bu...

Recently, I have installed Bioshock 2 again, mostly because Multiplayer - and multiplayer is totally awesome! Forget Call of Duty, Counter-Strike and this stuff, Bioshock 2 is FPS with the most versatile multiplayer experience. I really reccomend it. Eh, I thought it was alright. I've been hook...

The biggest mystery is how Kaworu figures it out at all . Well, Kaworu seems to know that Rei is Lilith's soul, just like he is Adams, so when he sees Lilith and realizes that it's not Adam (I would assume souls could recognize when something isn't their body, I mean hell, it should...

But why would Kaji think Lil was Adam in the first place? You know, the principle of CONSIDERING ALL POSSIBILITIES? "Maybe it's, like, something I don't know about -- time to investigate!" The wackiness of the transition from tiny embryo to that thing on the cross must have elicit...

Pokemon White, and it's amazing.

And then he cries in practically every scene in EoE in which he has a corporeal body. Gnothi seauton, man. Well, shutting down isn't really the final stage of Depression. It's more of a middle stage. Not to mention that at that point Shinji was in shock as well as depressed. Once he saw Asu...

In fact, she incorporates NO German whatsoever. Gah, that should be a crime. I guess I'll stick to subs then. It helps keep NGE and Rebuild separate in my head anyways. The only reason (besides Asuka) that I'd watch the dub anyways is so that I could pay more attention to the visual...

Yeah, and?

Well gee, that's what Rebuild has always ment to be. Well, I'll be honest, some part of me hopes that isn't really true, especially now that productions has gotten way out of control. Hopefully Anno is going through a late mid-life crisis and is deciding to make a second great Eva inste...

Survived exploding after Unit 02 threw it, Third Impact, being in the Black Moon at the time it left Earth, and being in the Black Moon at the time it disintegrated, just so it could go sit on a sidewalk. Maybe they should have used it to block Ramiel's shots. It makes about as much sense as th...

Does Tiffany Grant really not incorporate as much German as she used too (swears or otherwise)?? Tbh, 50% of the reason I like the English Dub for NGE was the way Tiffany used German in her lines. I think it gave Asuka's character an extra dimension and it was a constant reminder to the ...

"What if Evangelion was an awesome blockbuster instead of a work of art?" Well, after watching 1.11, I can say this sort of sums up my opinion right now, though this is my immediate reaction. I wasn't really that impressed, but I'm sure it's for many of the same reasons that h...
