Don't forget that Sadomoto is the main one for the manga since the animation was basically Anno though he still helped in some way but I like everything. I have practically every side manga and enjoy them a lot.

The scene with Asuka and the man made Evas in EOE is definitely the greatest moment in NGE and one of greatest anime scenes.

I think that the cliff-hanger leading up to it as originally shown at the end of Death & Rebirth was really something it its own right. Within the last 5 minutes of screen time you've got
[Show spoiler]Asuka breaking out of her catatonia after hearing her mom's voice from inside Eva-02, throwing a navy destroyer as a javelin at missile launcher batteries, destroying several assault helicopters, and just when you think she's won then come nine MP Evangelions (Units 05 through 13) orbiting around her as "Tamashi no Refrain" leads into the ending credits.


Imagine leaving the theater in March 1997 and knowing you'd have to wait 4 months (EoE wasn't until July) to see how that ended.

BTW anyone who was looking to buy the manga, Barnes and Noble has a Viz manga buy2 get 1 free sale, cheaper to buy online because they're discounted on top of that up to 25% plus there is a coupon you can stack. So vol 1, 3 and 5 should be around $30 shipped (which is $15 cheaper than RS).

For anyone who's looking for the digipak version of 1.11 and/or the slipcover for 2.22, I found an eBay auction with both BDs.

Note: I'm not affiliated in any way with the seller, but remembered that there was someone looking for those versions like last month or thereabouts.

Thank you! I have the 1.11 digipak but I’ve been looking everywhere for the 2.22 slipcover! I have one but it’s really badly beat up, only one I’ve been able to find for the longest time. Again, thank you!

I re-watched EOE recently and had a damn good time. There's that one moment when "Mr. Spec Ops" tells Shinji, "Nothing personal, kid," as he is about to execute him. Misato storms through like a freight train, taking out Mr. Spec Ops' wingmen, and then she points the gun under Mr. Spec Ops' chin and compliments that with a, "Nothing personal" before blowing his head off.

ABSOLUTELY savage.

ALSO really hot.

I like Misato but her ADV dub voice is horrible, she sounds way too old for the character.

Even gay dudes (like me) love Misato. You can't not love her. Misato is bae.

Mari is a pretty excellent girl, too. I love the way she refers to Shinji as "doggy."

I think Asuka has become my favorite anime girl in about a months time. A new record!

I love how Eva threads inevitably turn into discussions about best girls.

It is easy to deduce why each is best girl. And the debate will forever go on!

I'm still pretty cheesed that Kaji said he'd prefer to die with his melons first and his face in-between Misato's melons second. He does not deserve her.
