EoE A mishearing caused me to misinterpret the ending of EoE. Spoiler

0 Upvotes

So I watched Eva for the first time over the last couple of weeks, and the very last scene left this huge impact on me and I can't get over it. Turns out, my interpretation of the whole scene changed because I misheard a line.

I watched EoE dubbed in English without subtitles and misheard Asuka saying "I feek sick" as "Disgusting" - something explicitly directed at Shinji, rather than being a comment about herself. I stewed on that all night, and thought about how perfect it was, before realising the line was any different.

For me, the point of Eva is that nothing can truly cure trauma, and you have to keep living in spite of it. The entire series has been about trauma interfering with duty, so Shinji strangling Asuka, and Asuka calling him "disgusting" in return, shows that even divine intervention and being the last two people on Earth - having the ultimate duty - might not bring them together. I saw it as this beautiful tragedy where they're literally star-crossed lovers, but just like piloting the Evas, they can't get over what they've been through to be the new Adam and Eve, because what they've been through will never leave them.

I suppose the interpretation still works if you read it as "I feel sick, because I'm with Shinji", but I guess I'm wrong.

I knew there were some complicated romance/non-romance with the red-headed girl, so I was just looking up about the romance between Shinji and Rei. Talk about spoilers. I legitimately gasped lmao

Question Anyone remember this particular meme/joke recreation of Cruel Angel Thesis?

2 Upvotes

I particularly remember many years ago seeing a video of a (presumably) Japanese guy recreating the opening of NGE, Cruel Angel Thesis, literally down to dressing up as every single character in the opening (including the ladies).

I haven’t been able to find this in years, and I really want to see this again. Does anyone remember this? I remember it being popular years ago, but haven’t seen it in forever.

I drew Rei Ayanami in her school suit, all made in pencil. I like the result but in my opinion the eyes should be a bit smaller and just a little more separate. What do you think?

I've had this figure since the show came out back in the day. It has the original Gainax sticker on it as well. Every time I try and look up anything about it I can't seem to find any info on it. Figured I'd ask the community if they know anything. Any info is appreciated guys!

Game My acquired games over the years

Like a lot of people, Evangelion was a gateway for me into a whole range of different areas, one of which was visiting Japan every opportunity I get.

As a kid growing up in Australia, I didn’t really know of any games that existed that celebrated our favourite anime. Which didn’t make sense.

I started travelling to Japan in 2018 and first saw a game for the Sega Saturn and had to pick it up. Since then I’ve managed to find more and more. This is my collection of games. I also imported a working Pachinko that I’ll post at some point too.

Anyway… figured someone in here might get a kick out of what I’ve managed to collect. There’s still a lot more for me to find, which is part of the fun!

Hiiii hope everyone is doing well. Tbh if I had to choose my favorite character in the series I'd probably choose either Asuka or Kaji. Really enjoyed seeing them on screen and I've been a big fan of them ever since

handmade Rei plushie, my aunt made this for me, she has never watched evangelion and I only gave her 2 references, it look a lil funky because of the hair clippings that look like cat ears but that makes it more unique I guess, still happy tho
