Re: Amazon Prime Video release
Relax, pal. Undoing it is a cinch.
That's the point. You need to dig deep into the character name origins, the deep history of the series and the occasional EGF in-joke to understand this year's Fool's Day Prank.

Re: That's One Hell of an April Fool's Joke Guys!
Ah, yeah. "that dude from Osaka vs fragrant-prince-of-Genji (who is better as a friend?)". That thread tracks hahaha!
"Can squeaky anchor be forgiven for fapping to comatose converted collier?" is also a classic!

Just sit here and waste your precious time. When you want to do something, don't do it right away. Don't do it when you can. Read my posts instead. It's the only way to live a life without regrets.

Re: That's One Hell of an April Fool's Joke Guys!
Yeah, half the fun of this is looking at the new thread titles.
My current favorite: "Could eva be improved if rattling rudder and Yamato's lifeboat merged?"
Another gold one: "How does red castle view Sarai as a mother?"

Re: That's One Hell of an April Fool's Joke Guys!
Just moving over my post from the "Amazon Prime Video release" thread:
Interesting Adam and Lilith get nothing, and I wonder what's with "Essene" and "Shado"?
Haha this is pretty in depth!
I know very few of these EGF in jokes so am just left wondering where "red castle" and "wine castle" come from lol.
Also that's a neat easter egg for "Keel". I originally wrote "Kiel" since I think that's the German spelling but it didn't work so I changed it to "K e e l", and lo and behold you guys accounted for that lol.
Here's a couple others:
Seele s e e l e
Nerv n e r v
Gehirn g e h i r n
Operation Yashima o p e r a t i o n y a s h i m a
Unit 00 u n i t 0 0
Unit 01 u n i t 0 1
Unit 02 u n i t 0 2
Bardiel b a r d i e l
Leliel l e l i e l
Zeruel z e r u e l
Sahaquiel s a h a q u i e l
S2 Engine s 2 e n g i n e
Lilith l i l i t h
Adam a d a m
FAR f a r

"Why didn't Wine Castle (or anyone) tell Squeaky Anchor anything in 3.0?"
Love it.
Love it.
Shin Evangelion brought me back, five long years later.
Apophenia. Noun. The tendency to perceive a connection or meaningful pattern between unrelated or random things.
They called me the Quentin Tarantino of hentai.
The difference between a blow-up doll and a dakimakura.

EDIT: There are several that you guys missed. The jokes are with the character names, not the Angel names...keep trying 'em till you catch them all!

Re: That's One Hell of an April Fool's Joke Guys!
I just came in ten minutes ago and the closest thing to an April Fools' joke I got to see was these nonsensival names. And say what you want, but it's nowhere near funny to me, just annoying. Now I get the altnames were chosen for a reason, but I can't stand seeing these changes apply EVERYWHERE!

Re: That's One Hell of an April Fool's Joke Guys!
Sorry about that -- what with the arrival of the final movie just a couple of weeks before, we'd all rather got distracted from the usual custom. As a result, what you see was the result of some last minute brainstorming to produce something, I'm afraid.
Quotations aside, it should all go away again by the morning.

Re: Alcion ANIMA (general)
You mean the thread title? Quite so. It's a word filter that, among others, changes every mention of "Evangelion" to "Alcion"
EDIT: Whoops, moving posts messed up the formatting. This is in response to this post

The line came from one of Zuggy's comics, which, IIRC, referred to Reichu's Dr. Katsuragi avatar at the time. The fanfic itself came into existence nearly a decade after that. That comic might be in one of the links in this ancient post.
