HAZMAT Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I personally believe that Instrumentality only affected people who were alive when it occurred (since there is no evidence to show otherwise), so somehow Asuka had to have survived.

25K Now! Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 So you're saying she survived getting eaten alive?It could also be possible that Shinji, now technically being the 18th Angel, brought her back to life.

HAZMAT Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I had completely forgotten that End of Eva actually made them experience the damage Evas took (since in the series they only felt pain but weren't actually injured).I rewatched the scene and saw her arm sliced in half, so no, I guess she couldn't have survived.I don't know what you mean about Shinji being an Angel, he isn't. Rei/Lilith (I think) explains that anyone can reform their physical body if they want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kothra Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 All of humanity is the 18th angel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAZMAT Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Well yes, but what I meant is that Shinji doesn't haven any special abilities or anything, since the entire species is considered Angels. It's not like he possesses any unique abilities that would allow him to bring back dead people.On that topic, I never understood designating Lilin as the 18th Angel, as all other Angels spawned from Adam.

25K Now! Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I have no idea why humanity is the 18th angel either. Quote http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobui Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I'm fairly sure that it's because Angels are defined as offspring of the Seeds of Life, and humanity would qualify, since all of its (and Earth's) LCL came from Lilith's crash-landing.

Kothra Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Well Lilith is the second angel, and she didn't come from Adam either.And Lilin is spawned from Lilith so it isn't that far-fetched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25K Now! Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Good point.Anyway, have you guys seen Evangelion 2.0 yet? Quote http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobui Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I'm hoping I'll get it for Christmas. From what I've seen, Mari almost reminds me of Kamina, in terms of hot-bloodedness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25K Now! Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Hot-bloodedness only. Mari can not compare to Team Dai-Gurren's super awesome and GAR leader, a man of spirit! A paragon of masculinity! The mighty KAMINA!Anyway, after seeing 2.0, I can't wait until 3.0 comes out, probably because I'm wondering what exactly Kaworu/Tabris/Moon-Man is doing this time.

25K Now! Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Well according to a site I am not allowed to mention here, people consider her a deconstruction of a Mary Sue. Makes sense too, with all the Sue-ish qualities. Anno must be poking fun at them instead of causing our minds to blow up.I mean, look at the name! You could pronounce them the same in English if you want! Mari and Mary.And besides, what sane person other than a fanfic writer would name someone Mari Illustrious Makinami?

Terminus Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) The latest episode of Guilty Crown reminded me a bit of Evangelion, with all the psychological stuff going on with Shu...It's getting rather interesting now...Also started Puella Magi Madoka Magica. I had absolutely no idea what to expect going into it, but I like it so far. Edited December 20, 2011 by Terminus24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodor Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Anyway, if you guys have seen End of Evangelion, how did you feel after watching it?"Anno, you troll."Other than that, my reaction was '...Meh. Saw it coming as soon as I read the main influences.'Seriously, when you list Devilman and Ideon as major influences on your magnum opus, savvy viewers are gonna know everyone dies a messy, horrible death.Anyway, have you guys seen Evangelion 2.0 yet?Own it. Mari is awesome. It is amazing.Anyway, after seeing 2.0, I can't wait until 3.0 comes out, probably because I'm wondering what exactly Kaworu/Tabris/Moon-Man is doing this time.Cryptic references to the original series and the other AUs, subtext, and being bishie.Callin' it right now.

25K Now! Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Or Kaworu is going to actually be awesome, like stopping Third Impact at the very, very end of 2.0, post-credits by stabbing Unit 01.Due to the fact that I have absolutely no idea how to use spoiler tags, I have changed the colour of the words.

Blue Dragon Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Just watched the last episode of C3. I don't care that it left a sequel hook the size of Russia, because I like it just that much <3.Anyone here sharing my sentiments?Also,while on the subject of C3, I hereby approve its second OP with my word of awesome. Quote ~Blue Dragon~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25K Now! Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Never seen C3 before. Only heard of it just now.Anyway, do you guys think they'll make a movie for the Heaven's Feel route of Fate/Stay night? I mean, they made an Unlimited Blade Works one, and the anime mostly follows the Fate route.Why is there no love for Heaven's Feel?Other than that, I'll be off watching the Kara no Kyoukai movies if you need me.

Blue Dragon Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I think it's because HF has a notably darker theme than Fate and UBW, so making it into an anime would require much axing of the story. If anything, Fate/Hollow Ataraxia has a higher chance of being turned into an animeAnd regarding C3, I can really recommend it, but don't get turned of it after watching its first episode. Things are much more interesting in the second. Quote ~Blue Dragon~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25K Now! Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 So you're saying making a Heaven's Feel anime would be like making the travesty of a Tsukihime anime?And also, if they make Fate/Hollow ataraxia an anime they'll have probably have to make a Fate/Extra anime as well.

Last time I checked, F/E was a fighting game and F/HA was a VN sequel to F/SN. If I were to make a anime, the choice would be pretty obvious.

25K Now! Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Good point, they'd make a Hollow ataraxia anime first. They might make a Fate/Extra one, seeing that it's got a rather okay plot.But anyway, let us move on from the Nasuverse discussion and onto something else.Like who would win in a battle between the Getter Emperor, the Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Demonbane.
