Understanding the series, one should bear in mind that it is an allegory, and most of what is happening there symbolic. The last two episodes actually explain the whole series, so it is best to listen to what the characters are saying. It also should be good to watch the last two over and over, in order to fully understand the series.[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] I think the end of evangelion was a more understandeble version of the final episode, i say that becouse what i understood from the final ep was confirmed when i saw the end of evangelion. I liked the final episode more than the movie, becouse it said the same epilogue in a more artistic and cultural way. At least this is what i got.

[/B][/QUOTE] your the first person I've heard who liked the final episodes, eps 25 and 26, more than the movie, a lot of people don't like the last episodes at all, not only because of its confusion, but because the animation is not as well polished as the other episodes, this was because of budget problems within the company, which forced them to use still cells....

Queen Asuka Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]I used to want how to learn Japanese, and I still do sort of, but I don't know if I should put that much time and effort into it if it's never going to do me any good in my career. I'm sure I can find the Parasyte manga somewhere...because the sell it...I just can't really AFFORD it, that's my problem. Almost all of my manga fix, I borrow from other people. I do have my own copy of Volume 4 of Evangelion when Lovely Lady Asuka arrives... ;)[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure it isn't based off of [i]your[/i] love life, some people think the whole world revolves around them. :p I love the Tokyo Pop stuff, and I would read SMILE more if it were not for the strange looks I get when I buy it. The people at Suncoast Video are extremely rude. I wouldn't shop there if it weren't for the fact that they have a good selection of titles.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 :) Yes the Evangelion Manga's were great, nice way to alter the story, and we get so much more background on Asuka, with that whole test tube baby thing!:D Also the scene where they are training for the syncronized battle was much funnier this time around!

Queen Asuka Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]Well, if you have a problem buying Smile because of the looks you get, then just get a subscription. It's about the same price as if you bought it every month and it gets delivered to your door without anyone (except that mailman) ever knowing. :) And I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the manga, well at least my volume 4. Asuka is so much more cuter, and she looks prettier, and all the pictures are so lovely. And yes, the dancing is even cooler, except on the anime you get to hear the music and so forth. I am such a big Asuka fan. And by the way, that is my favorite episode of the entire series, that dance episode. That's one reason why I was so thrilled to get that volume of the manga. It's the only one I bought, because I had already seen the whole series. I know I'm gyping myself by not getting it, but oh well.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 [color=green]I have the first three volumes of the Evangelion manga, and oddly enough I bought them before I had ever seen the series. (I got to watch the series for the first time this weekend... wow.) Asuka is a great character, but not enough detail goes into exploring her past in the series. That is the problem with such short anime series, you always end up wanting more.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]It's just like books vs movies. The books are ALWAYS more detailed than the movie could ever DREAM to be. And that's the same way it is with anime and manga. But what the book can't CONVEY in words, the anime can show you, up to speed, in color, and in style. So both ways are good...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been awhile since I've actually had a decent conversation about anime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]Ah yes, it's always so much fun to have an anime discussion, especially with people who know exactly what you're talking about. I loved Kaworu. When Shinji [spoiler]killed him, I actually got emotional. He was such a beautiful character, even though he wasn't real.[/spoiler] That was another part of the series I really enjoyed. I've only seen the last few episodes of the series once, but 1-16 I've seen a couple of times. I'm just waiting to buy it all on DVD when I get a DVD player. And I also wont have to buy it in any particular order because I'll already have seen the whole series! :excited: But yeah![/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 [color=green]I bought the entire series in the NGE Perfect collection, it has to be one of the few large purchases I do not regret. Everything about the show is just amazing, except for the english dub. Sometimes I wonder if they pick bad voice actors on purpose.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 There thats much better, I have the whole series of Eva on dvd, including the movies which have not been commerically launched here! Another personal favorite of Evangelion would have to be the Instrumentality of Men aka episode 25 and 26 they just really make you think!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]Yeah, the Instrumentality Project was sort of confusing, you just have to pay attention and seriously use your brain or else you're done for. I've only seen the movies Death and Rebirth and I didn't particularly like the ending where [spoiler]Shinji's sitting over Asuka and he's all choking her and stuff[/spoiler]...I mean, what in the crap is up with that??? I always secretly wanted Asuka and Shinji to get together....I'm such a sucker for romance and that series had it's share of love triangles, but it was never one with Asuka and Shinji. Of course, Asuka was very jealous of Rei...but I think that was just because of her superiority complex. I myself think I have one of those...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 [color=green]Shinki and Auka... a couple?! I don't think they would make a very happy couple. She is too brash, Shinji would probably go nuts with her as a girlfriend. Asuka would get along much better with someone who could defend themselves to her criticism, like Toji. I am probably the only person on Earth who thinks they would be a good couple.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]Toji and Asuka...hmm...he's not good enough for her, in my opinion. And that reminds me...the episode where he [spoiler]pilots the Eva and everyone thought he was dead, I CRIED!!!!! I was so sad when I saw all of that happen to him...he was such an awesome character...I was so glad that he lived.[/spoiler] That is one of the most sad parts of the whole show. And Shinji gets all emotional and ah man....I couldn't get over it...When I watch that show I get this little knot of tension in my gut...it's so GOOD!!!!!! Okay, I'm freaking out... Shinji's not outgoing enough, and Asuka is very outgoing, so they balance one another. He needs her, I think. She could bring him up, make him feel good about himself...(if she wasn't so busy criticizing him, but you never know...) ;)[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 [color=green]Shinji reminds me of myself (except I'm much better looking ;)) and I can't stand being around people who are extremely loud and outgoing. That is the one reason I could see Asuka and Shinji becoming a couple. One of the funniest moments on the show is when [spoiler]Asuka kisses Shinji for no other reason than she is bored. I was laughing so hard when Shinji was suffocating. When Shinji had to destroy Toji's EVA I was so sad. I knew that Toji was the pilot, but until the last possible moment I was crossing my fingers and hoping that it was someone else. I completely understand why Shinji went nuts after finding out who the pilot was,[/spoiler] that has to be one of the saddest moments in the show.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
