So it does! It's always cool seeing an old concept pulled out of retirement and given a fresh coat of paint.

I know, I was merely pointing out that if Asuka were a potential trigger, she probably wouldn't be doing anything like that in her own Eva since it's so docile. That both of them have four arms is a very interesting point and something I hadn't considered before. It would come as little ...

The suggestion I got from the movies was that only Evas 01, 13, Shinji, Kaworu, and maybe Rei and 06 had that special "something" for Impact compatibility, and only when used together. When Unit 01 ate Zeruel and 13 ate the 12th Angel, they immediately switched on their radiant giant forms...

The spinny disks might have some kind of secondary/tertiary drive function that interacts with/expands the Eva's control interface when it's doing something unusual, like Beast Mode or Four Arm Mode. As far as I remember, that's when they activate.

Kaworu looping within just the rebuild timeline could make sense. Dies in Eva 13 after failing to make Shinji happy ---> Wakes up in the next coffin on the moon in front of the Mark 6 ---> "This time, I'll show you true happiness " --> repeat. But surely Kaworu wouldn't keep fallin...

He made Nadia the way it is just so 3.0 could harken back to it. But like most people said, he's probably got a general outline and makes up or rewrites the details as he goes. That's how the creative process seems to work for most; new ideas take root or characters are determined to act in ...

You're welcome! I was actually in the market for that sort of thing myself. Glad I could be of assistance The Ultimate Action figures DO look amazing for the comparative prices. I just got a set of 5 (Evas 1-3, Orange Israfel and a Launcher) off Ebay for 16 bucks, and it looks like Amazo...

The Fraulein Heroine series has some nice figures of Evas 01, 02, 6, and 13, and if I remember, all of them except 13 come on a base due to their poses. You can find them on ebay for about 10-12 bucks each. The Neo-Act gashapon series has the only Eva 08 I've seen, but you might also try Bandai&...

Seeking an item. Bit of an odd request, but does anyone have a good condition box for this Misato figure that they would be willing to part with relatively cheaply? The box for mine didn't survive the local postal service, and I'd like to have one for display/storage. Edit: Good idea, AR-99....

[Split to here from the 3.33 Things You Noticed thread by request (I'd've done it anyway, eventually). - Monk] I just noticed the extra active modes on the DSS Choker: Biometric Verification and one I can't make out. Looks like Location something: http://i.imgur.com/TthpSSU.png ...

I for one am still expecting a monumental plot twist regarding the purpose for her name being changed in the first place. In the CRC2 interview, Anno said he did it for the sake of theme naming, and because he thought changing the name of a main character would give viewers a greater sense that the...

http://i.imgur.com/LplnNgz.png Kaworu's choice of words during the big reveal is kind of interesting too. He says Third Impact happened while Shinji was merged with Unit 01, which implies concurrence, but he never actually says that Shinji CAUSED it. He did create that chasm and rend the surfac...

[Split from "Misato's relationship with Shinji 3.0" . - Monk] Her expression at the end (my view) is in response to Ritsuko's line "Fourth Impact was averted, but what did we do? Misato, this should be good for now.", the WUNDER couldn't do anything to stop E...

As crappy as her life's been, Asuka demonstrates a very strong sense of self. She does things solo if she can and wants to hold herself up. I think Asuka's personality is just antithetical to instrumentality. Even when she was subjected to it in End of Evangelion, she was one of the first pe...

Crazy hypothesis time again; could the 'Mark #' designation be a reference to chapters in the Gospel of Mark? Mark 6 has Jesus dispatching the 12 apostles, the beheading of John the Baptist, and Jesus walking on water. These things seem relevant to the mk 6. Mark 9 has the transformation of ...

Mari/Asuka crossover sketch I commissioned from an artist:

It's the boxes pointing toward the Eva. The ones on the left side of the image all say "Error" and the ones on the right "Unknown."

But if Gendo removed the Eva-01 core, it would have to be before Eva-01 was encased in the Tesseract and sent up into space. Why would it awaken in space if it was missing the Eva-01 core? It's more likely that Yui and Rei left the Eva's core altogether - Rei Q sees her teleporting counterp...

Brilliant!! Now that's thinking outside the box. I could really see something like this working, in a Gurren Lagann sort of way. Pilot in Entry Plug - > Eva. Mark.06 - > Lilith. Lilith in Black Moon Entry Plug -> Planet Earth. Not sure if it would explain the moon though. Speculative stuff, if ...
