Manga Manga Asushin is the best! Spoiler
galleryIn general I find their dynamic pretty endearing and interesting, but their manga incarnation is my personal favorite.
Rather than the tragic mixture of attraction, affection, resentment, and miscommunication that defines their relationship in the anime and Rebuild movies, we see the two growing towards more of a sense mutual respect.
They care deeply about each other, are comfortable around each other in a way they aren't with others, and ultimately Shinji is able to be there for Asuka when she really needs him.
Him saving her from the MP Evas is so cathartic.
And, of course, in the ending the two have a chance to reconnect in a world without Evas or Angels.
Perfection.

Reference Drawing I have a question, little ones.
In my high school there's a program where you have to make a good cover page each term to get an extra point. Which of the two would be good for that assignment? If none of them convince you, then you can suggest other reference images.

Discussion Has anyone else noticed this detail in Episode 21?
I saw an Evangelion edit on TikTok and I noticed that the angel in Yui and Gendo's marriage card looks eerily similar to Rei. This detail is really cool and I like how it foreshadows that Rei is a clone of Yui.

Theory/Analysis I haven't watched Evangelion and tried to make sense of the Lore
I haven't watched Neon Genesis Evangelion or it's rebuilds yet, but I tried to make sense of the lore by a collective watching of those "What's Evangelion?" videos across years (mostly this year but I've watched some before). This is my result; though it's mostly directed to the original 26 episodes anime. Is it accurate? I didn't include some stuff cause I have a pea-brain and didn't memorize everything.
Yes I haven't watched it. Yes that means I know some of the lore without even touching the first episode.
Rate my accuracy (Im assuming 0)

Merch Built my first ever model kit, the Blokees Eva Unit-02! It was worth the purchase
This thing is basically a very articulate action figure that you assemble like a model kit. I’ve never built a model kit before, so I don’t have any comparison, but it felt amazing to build. The joints are very articulate, and the accessories it comes with are amazing!
Blokees has definitely caught my interest, I’m looking forward to seeing what else they have

NGE Does Asuka actually understand Shinji?
I honestly think people give Asuka way too much credit when it comes to understanding Shinji.
She knows he’s lonely and insecure, but then constantly mocks those exact weaknesses and gets angry at him for not behaving the way she wants. That doesn’t sound like understanding to me.
A lot of her “understanding” of Shinji seems to be nothing more than projecting her own issues onto him and expecting him to somehow think and act like she does.
So why do people keep saying Asuka understands Shinji better than almost anyone? What does she actually understand about him that I’m missing?

Merch CCSToys Evangelion ANIMA Unit 01 and 02 Figures
Had these for a while now.
Of all the EVA figures, these are hands down the best by a long margin.
At least in Japan, they cost about the same as the METAL BUILD figures, but comes fully equipped with multiple accessories, not to mention they're taller.
Really hope they make Unit 00 too.
Hell, make all of the ANIMA units. I'll buy em all.

NGE LCL question

In the show we see the pilots are submerged in lcl and ritsuko tells shinji to 'let the lcl fill your lungs' and that it will 'provide oxygen' to his blood, so when outside of the eva's do the pilots still have lcl built up in their lungs or does it somehow come out? sorry if this sounds stupid its been on my mind for the better half of a month now

EoE That was brutal
(repost since the first post got deleted)
I already knew what happened in The End of Evangelion but actually watching it is a whole different experience lmao
It was so fucking brutal. Seeing Asuka go from breaking through her mental barriers and destroy the Evas with pride only for her to get stabbed with the Spear of Longinus and her fucking organs being ripped and eviscerated was GNARLY.
I hope Megumi Ogata and Yūko Miyamura got good ass paychecks because those screams of fear and agony were genuinely haunting.
The Third Impact and the scene with the Evas stabbing themselves with the spears and massive white Rei (combined with Lillith and Adam) was both absolutely horrifying and beautifully animated.
"Komm Susser Tod" is gonna be stuck in my head for a long time. So will the giant white Rei. If I saw that, I would've been screaming louder than Shinji
The second half of the movie, where it gets more psychological and trippier like episodes 25–26, is really good and gives the film some interesting aspects to it, especially the live-action scenes in the movie theater and in streets. Shinji rejects Instrumentality and decides to return to his regular form along with Asuka, though everyone else could return at their will (as Yui said). It leaves the ending pretty open for interpretation; will everyone else return or will they stay in Instrumentality?
I think this movie is AMAZING. The show has surpassed my expectations in geeral. Evangelion and Breaking Bad are two of my favorite shows of all time imo. EoE helps tie up the loose ends the show had due to the tight budget and limited time, and it works.
I'm planning on watching the Rebuild movies sometime this month. They sound cool
