I think it is a reference to all the Rei's in the Reiquarium.

(Looks closely.)

That's no remote; that's an Apple Newton!

My brother has one just like that, as well as one of the later 2100s. Sadly, the real ones don't have color screens or funky LCARSish interfaces, but they're still nifty, albeit brick-like, things.

i've been thinking... is this really even Rei were asking about i mean Rei is the name of the shell that Lilith resides in so i think were asking "did Lilith have a love for Shinji?". if not oh well... i'm not intent on getting hung up on it.

aside from that the love part to me is... well it could be the one of a few be it motherly, bro/sis , or that of a lover. come to think of it just how many 14 year-old meet their soul mate at that age?

I think of it as a Motherly/Sisterly kind of love. Especially since he never got the love of a mother, well he did but not for very long, and experiences this from Rei/Lilith.

I wrote an essay and talked a little about this. I'll try posting it when my teacher has finished grading it. (She's a huge Eva fan too, so she'll correct me if I'm wrong :D )

well, i would guess that on 1st time someone watches that show, they wouldnt really understand that Rei IS Lilith, so all those noobs (no offense) would probably recognize the current title a LOT more


....and this doesnt really seem like chit-chat to me
this should be in the discussion room

1302 English based on Anime :D
2302 or 2353(don't remember) is my next English class based on Anime :D (same teacher too :P )

Btw, I got an A-, not bad for my first watching... but once I read it over I saw where my mistakes were... Ever since I've watched it about 3-4 times, and have read all these discussions... I wasn't too far off course, but nothing compared to some of you gurus here.

Anybody interested in reading it send me a PM. :P

Rei III's musings at the start of episode 25 indicate that there is a Rei-personality constructed over the underlying Lilith nature. In the NGE universe this is akin to the "does the mind rule the body or the body rule the mind?" issue -- how much is the Rei shell like a prism showing different aspects of the Lilith nature underneath.

That musing also has her saying a person is made up of their interactions with other people. Rei and Lilith were separate people but when Rei accepted her existence was false and returned home she became one with Lilith.

For once, I think we are in violent agreement here, possibly modulo philosophical arguments about what "false" might mean in the context.

Leia kissed luke skywalker in the empire strikes back, in the rebuild I wouldnt be suprised if Rei smooches Shinji unexpectedly after he does something nice and Shinji/Asuka freak.

What I'm saying is, Rei II and Shinji could definately have a short romance.
