Evangelion Angel Question
Memphis Egyptologist replied to glane21's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Captured doesn't necessarily mean fought as anyone can be captured without a battle. Maybe saying that Seele found Tabris as an embryo and then later raised him or whatever would be better? -
Evangelion Angel Question
Memphis Egyptologist replied to glane21's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I thought the EVA01 shot was supposed to indicate that it was the proof that humans existed, with their own problems of the heart: relationships, lack of parents etc. being that most of the emphasis is on human relationships. -
Evangelion Angel Question
Memphis Egyptologist replied to glane21's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
In the Red Cross Book RCB, it states that Kaworu is likely another Angel embryo SEELE captured. Has this changed with the new PS2 game? I always figured that since Kaworu was Tabris the Angel of Free Will, that he took human form out of his free will much like when he decided to let Shinji decide his fate. -
Evangelion Angel Question

Not THE source of life, but A source of life like Lilith is what I take the dialogue to mean. Not that Adam came from her. -
Evangelion Angel Question
Memphis Egyptologist replied to glane21's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
No, according to EOE script, as translated by Bochan Bird Misato speech, Misato says "Shinji, we humans were born from a being called Lilith, who is the source of life just like Adam," while the Manga Video states in a possible mistranslation, "You see Shinji, mankind was spawned from a being called Lilith, just like Adam was." Lilith and Adam are equal beings who are sources of life for their respective "children." Furthermore, if EVA is based loosely on a hodge-podge of religious imagery, then Adam and Lilith are indeed equal beings in that both were created at the same time in the Hebrew version. -

The Room or Chamber of Guaf is what you're thinking of. Adam is the first Angel and Lilith is the second. Both are equally sources of life in the Evangelion story. The origins of Lilith and Adam are never explained and maybe they shouldn't. I would prefer EVA to have a little mystery to keep me watching it. -

Just let out a big scream and have a cold one to drink. Somethings are best left mysterious. -

Or more accurately, "humans without human form." See EVA Otaku Page -

Not sucked into the computer literally, but imprinted with different aspects of Naoko's personality. Naoko later comitted suicide when she realised that Gendo was merely using her, as confirmed by the first Rei clone (Rei I). -
Look at Japan's Secret War by Robert Wilcox, and The Nuclear Axis by Philip Henshall about Japan's project to develop an Atomic Bomb in WWII. However, some objections have been raised about these author's conclusions.

Now that Zero is done...
Memphis Egyptologist replied to Mechamaniac's topic in Movies and TV Series
Yup, my Macross 7 and DYRL work great. I don't think trying to get a replacement for a $8 disc would be worth it, in light that stocks of FX merchandise are drying up. -
Wondering what happened to Sara?
Memphis Egyptologist replied to mikeszekely's topic in Movies and TV Series
She died in the bombardment of Earth. -
Now that Zero is done...
Memphis Egyptologist replied to Mechamaniac's topic in Movies and TV Series
Yeah, my FX set is like that too. Lots of blocky pictures, breakups, and drop-outs in episodes 4 and 5. Maybe FX got a plant that couldn't handle the amount of data to be placed on one disc. Given light of the recent bust, it may be an eternity to aquire a replacement. -
Aircraft VS super thread!
Memphis Egyptologist replied to Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Unfortunately, the USAF couldn't use the P-47 in Korea because not enough of them remained in storage or they had been sold to other countries. -
Found a blast from the past...
Memphis Egyptologist replied to Mechamaniac's topic in Movies and TV Series
I have a copy of DYRL thrown in as a freebie when I got a LD of the movie off eBay. It's in Japanese with fansubs, but whoever subbed it had a phonetic knowledge of Japanese. In the subs, "Little White Dragon" had lines such as "Show Pilot"! -
Gunbuster Wings of Honneamise key frame animator for DYRL and recently, Re: Cutie Honey He directed Nadia too. I forgot about that!

If anyone was behind creating Evangelion, it would have to be these people See Evangelion Entry Director: Hideaki Anno Script: Akio Satsukawa (ep 3-10, 12-13), Hideaki Anno, Mitsuo Iso (ep 13), Yoji Enokido (ep 11), Yoji Enoto (ep 2)

Ummm, I don't remember seeing Anno's name associated with FLCL in any capacity before. I thought FLCL was the work of Kazuya Tsurumaki and the staff at Gainax. Maybe the FLCL people used the same stuff Anno used to write EOE?

His and Her Circumstances (Kare Kano) off the top of my head.

TV Evangelion is a thought provoking TV Friendly ending, while EOE is your brain on drugs for a week. Very intense. . However, once you see EOE, you'll never look at the TV ending again. Just let out a big scream and relax.

The DVDs were scheduled for a "Fall 2004" rerelease, but they haven't appeared yet. -
Yet Another NGE thread. GREAT series!

Just let out a big scream and enjoy the trip that EOE is. -
MZero Ep. 5 *SPOILER THREAD*

Sounds like too much Plutonian Nyborg was ingested by the staff -
I think limbs falling off Rei is something that is very common (EOE)
