Re: What is your least favorite Angel?
All the angels have something cool about them and I'm rather partial to Sandalphon and Matarael so I suppose my least favourite is Shamshel not because I dislike it but it's always the one I just seem to forget exists.
I don't think it helps Shamshel being sandwiched between Sachiel and Ramiel that are for various reasons (the series' first angel and an octahedron with a death laser) very memorable.

I need an Eva to clobber that there Angel!

Re: Who's your favorite angel?
Zeruel is my pick. Not only is he extremely powerful, the battle between Unit 01 and Zeruel (in NGE, not the one in NTE) is probably my favorite in the series.

Those who acted in order to live until the end, without losing themselves to fear and what was happening around them, are the ones who survived properly. We don't know what "God" is thinking, but both fortune and misfortune are thrust upon people. Even so, people exist within a domain that is theirs in which to act."

Re: Who's your favorite angel?
While Ramiel is best girl, I have to give it to Zeruel. My reasoning for this is simply because that was the first Angel battle watched, which was before I was even aware of anything else in the show. The terrifying, raw, animalistic form of Unit 01 going berserk is imprinted on my mind. I didn't understand anything about the series, but that made its mark well enough.

Re: Who's your favorite angel?
While Zeruel is amazing, and Sachiel is adorable, I also have a bit of a soft spot for Tunniel. It just has a really cool design, and the ability to slice things with its halo is pretty neat as well.

And they say (the starry choir
And the other listening things)
That Israfeli's fire
Is owing to that lyre
By which he sits and sings—
The trembling living wire
Of those unusual strings.
But the skies that angel trod,
Where deep thoughts are a duty—
Where Love's a grown up God—
Where the Houri glances are
Imbued with all the beauty
Which we worship in a star.

Re: Why is the diamond angel so cool?
The first two Angels preceding it are giant monsters are more representative of a the standard giant creature that attacks Tokyo, i.e. eyes, legs, arms, vaguely humanoid, etc.
Then Ramiel shows up as some sort of ninth-grader's Geometry homework, singing a beautiful melody of destruction. It's radically different from anything you'd expect to attack, and changes the perspective of what an Angel is or can be.

Re: Why is the diamond angel so cool?
I think Ramiel is also a fun play on the UFO idea as well as s/he floats in this gentle strange way like s/he's taking his/her time. I really like what they also did in rebuild in that the form shifts and moves making it very hard to hit the core.
Anywhere can be paradise as long as you have the will to live. After all, you are alive, so you will always have the chance to be happy.

Re: Why is the diamond angel so cool?
"Why is [Ramiel] so cool?" indicates that you, Magneto, think that Ramiel is cool, so why is your OP blank? If you're going to make a thread like this, at least offer your own answer for the question.

Not only his appearance (as in looks) is out of left field and unexpected. Its also how his presentation is handled. His first appearance (as in first emergence) makes for an awesome cliffhanger, while his destruction is framed in an awesome, thrilling battle in which the good guys squarely defeat the bad guy. This is something that comes out of left field for a series that up until that point presented all the fights as desperate attempts not to die.

Sorry, I really wanted to see the answers without the influence of my opinion.

Re: Who's your favorite angel?
This should be a very repeated comment, but ...
Well, who would it be? , Ramiel of course! , No one has a chance against the geometric anomaly. I did a seemingly unsuccessful topic about it not long ago, I wanted to say here what I did not say there:
So imposing when it arrives, remember that you come from watching frustrating fights against Sachiel and Shamchel, Ramiel arrives and says '' I will not be that easy. ''
That laser cannon
I like the scene that they test the power of Ramiel, that sound when it explodes the
Self-propelled mortar is so cool.
I also like the tension involved in this episode, the Nerv staff organizing a strategy while Ramiel is quiet up there penetrating Geofront with his stylized drill.
I like the moment he's going to get ready to shoot and there's a sparkle and 'Bam' in his face !! , Do not be concerned if the Nerv staff do not have time to prepare your attack.
His death is so frustrating, Ramiel should have two episodes dedicated him! (Outburst)
We can think that as a tribute he stayed there for 3 episodes being dismantled, showing just how memorable he was for this show.

I've constantly flip-flopped on my pick with others just to out-hipster them but if I'm honest with myself I have to admit Ramiel is the dopest, if only just from an aesthetic standpoint alone. I mean it's a floating, translucent geoprisma thing with a laser and damn drill weiner, c'mon son. Leliel is pretty close but I think that's because I feel like it's an alt-version of Ramiel, like the whereas the former had physical defense and offense, Leliel wasn't even on the dang football field, he was playin crypto-football.
