Re: Original Shikinami scene and the 9th Angel contamination scene
Well, given the way the flashback sequence played out with only Shiki left, I think we can pretty safely assume that OriAsu did not have a physical body left

Re: Ritsuko knew Kaworu was an Angel (probably)
That line very much means that Ritsuko knew. As for why she didn't do anything - she knew he'd been sent by Seele, and probably had a suspicion that they knew as well, and since she didn't want to be found having commited suicide by two shots to the back of the head, she kept her mouth shut, because...

Re: Eva fan translation(with online translation)
I severely doubt that even heavily edited machine translation is going to be anywhere close, let alone better, to even the worst official translation

Re: Transferring massive amounts of data between Magi
^yeah, that. For massive amounts of data, just moving physical hardware is faster, and ironically often times more secure, which would definitely be a priority for Nerv.

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now
What got me was finding out that the real Jiro's wife never even had tuberculosis. That's the thing that made it really frustrating to me; I was vaguely aware that he had several children with his one wife before, during and after the war, so I was constantly doubting everything the movie did becau...

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now
Felt like some 1920s aeronautics, so I finally gave Porco Rosso and The Wind Rises a watch; Porco Rosso is a lot better a movie than it is a story, if that makes sense; it is very much carried by the vibrancy of its world and the ability to go "oh I know what that is" when it brings up an ...

This has laid dormant for quite a while; writing oneshots is fun, is there any general interest in reviving this as a semi-regular thing to flex some writing muscles?

I do get that; some things just feel better in English than in one's native language. Eva in German for me would be absolute torture as well

Re: How many Evangelion Units were originally planned by NERV/SEELE?
This is one of those things that we're never given any decisive in-universe timeline for; I tend to look at it in a similar fashion to the irl history of naval construction. It's common there to make adjustments to the formula with each successive unit based on experience with the previous ones, sin...

Char being completely off his rocker tracks, yeah. Quess and Hathaway... well, they're stupid kids with too much self-importance, so while I hate both of them as people, they're pretty good characters. I do actually like Amuro, I think he's a pretty good depiction of someone in his position; compete...

Re: Gundam (In All Its Incarnations) Mk. II
Finally sat down and watched CCA; did not expect to like it nearly as much as I did. Solid 7/10, plays to Tomino's strengths a lot more than most of his other work. Still wobbles whenever there's Deep Character Thoughts going on, but the low density of those make the whole rest a lot better.

Re: The morality of Gendo in NTE
About genocide being a metaphor ... one has to ask if that's a good metaphor, though. Genocide is an active process, so it seems rather odd to me to be used as a metaphor for something passive like misanthropy. I don't think I quite agree that it's genocide as a metaphor so much as for lack of a be...

Re: MariShin discussion general
Another factor to this is that the billions weren't dead in the conventional sense so much as being transmuted into something else; definitely bad, but really an act of genocide, especially since Gendo's intent at the end of the day still seemed to be a variation on the same old melting everyone int...

I was specifically referring to the way in which Joseki invoked it, with the insinuation of being comparable to real world nazi apologia.

Re: NTE's interpretation of the characters
Personally, I don't really care who wrote it; it's a badly thought out, badly executed afterthought of a sidestory, so I treat it the same way as I treat the equivalent sidestories in Gundam: Ignore its existence unless absolutely necessary. We've been blessed in that regard that we didn't have many...
