Do you guys think that Rei´s skin would feel cold if you touched her?

Sadamoto said that Rei smells like a hospital (seriously) so maybe that means her skin is cold too? Not sure.

Thanks for killing the mood Sadamoto, the same way you turned Kaworu into a complete sociopath by killing a kitteh.

Rei probably does feel slightly cold.

As pale as she is I think it's entirely believable she might have poor circulation and thus be somewhat cool, at least compared to most folks.

The more I find out about Evangelion's production process from translated Anno interviews and such, the more I have to assume Sadamoto was the only one on the team with the slightest idea of what he was doing. You guys are way too harsh on him.

Shittyness of manga has removed any sympathy he might've otherwise garnered

No it isn't.

Anyway, Rei is pretty cool. That's what this thread, and by extension America, is all about, isn't it?

Yes, InstrumentalityOne. You probably do need a hobby. :ting:

Well.... look at her skin! She does look like she would smell like a hospital, does she not? After all, anytime you saw her on a hospital bed, she kind of formed a visual symmetry within terms of colors with the hospital bed and bandages. And that is precisely how she was introduced into the series.

I'm just saying. :shrug:

Hospitals don't smell like human sweat and blood from birthing mothers at times? :huh:

She's a woman -- her extremities will be cold from September to June as she's in the Northern Hemisphere.

Otherwise, shouldn't the thread title be "Rei is COOL"?

I do realize that the opposite of hot is cool, but Rei´s colder than cool.

I was always of the opinion that Misato was "cool". Everything about her looks cool, especially when she wears denim. Denim is the iconic definition of my interpretation of "cool". Or that time she showed up for Shinji's parent teacher meeting. That entrance with the car, the outfit, and the sunglasses was just way too cool. :cool:

I thought that in the context of the series Japan's overall climate had been altered to the point where it's now basically summertime all year long (due to the Earth's axis shifting as a result of Second Impact, or something).

Also, I wonder how cold to the touch she felt after protecting Unit-01 from Ramiel's particle beam.

Generally hospitals have a pretty unpleasant smell of sterility and cleaning product - I don't know if Anno means that she smells like sick people (I hope not, good god) but when somebody says that something smells like a hospital, that sort of dry sterile smell is what I'd associate with it.
