OK I saw a bunch of anime in the last week and now I have some questions.

Neon Genesis Evangelion - Saw one episode on CN and didnt like it. Friend had it on VHS. I watched it all except tapes 7,8, 10, and 13. Misato and Rei are anime hotties. Asuka would be if she would loose the attitude. I dont think Shinji was whining that much, hes 14 years old and shoved into a live or die situation he didnt want. What is next in lineup after the 26 episode series?


1) Is Rei a clone? after seeing the dummy plug setup episode It seems maybe Rei has died several times and they just bring out another body from storage and implant memories and such. It also seems Rei has been surgically and maybe genetically altered to make her more compatibile with the EVA.

2) Keep in mind I havent seen a couple of episodes. Do you ever find out where the Angels are coming from and why they are coming to earth?


Escaflowne - Loved it. The mechs kinda reminded me of Aura Battler Dunbine but the Mecha was much better and the characters were much better. Loved Merle the catgirl. Loved the line where Merle insulted her school uniform and Hitomi's reply: swing and a miss "Bad Kitty".

1)Are the Escaflowne movies continuing the story or are they a recap and condensation of the series?



Rahxephon - Loved it. Lots of anime hotties, especially Quon. I can see why lots of people compare it to Evangelion, lots of story parallels.

Voices Of A Distant Star - Thought it was excellent. Would love to see a series based on this. Reminds me alot of Gunbuster, another of my favorites. Almost had me in tears.



Happy World - Loved it. Reminds me of Oh My Goddess. Main female character has that same innocent charm like Belldandy. And like OMG there arent enough episodes *sigh*

The Escaflowne is completely different from the series...kinda strange but cool all the same with an awesome soundtrack!

[MAS PRODUCTIONS]

Eva #1- If your wanting an answer . . . in short yes, but even the original Rei was a clone of sorts.

Eva #2- They dont say exactly where angels come from, only that they appear from space.

As far as after the 26 eps, there are two movies. Death and Rebirth is basically a recap of the series and then a little of End of Eva. End of Eva is an alternate ending to the series. It was created to replace the last two eps of the series. Other than these two there are no sequels. There are games based on the series but nothing that is an official series in itself.

2) Keep in mind I havent seen a couple of episodes. Do you ever find out where the Angels are coming from and why they are coming to earth?

1) Rei is indeed a clone, to be more specific, a near clone of Shinjis' mom(yea i know O.o), In the series they go through 3 different reis', actually in eps 23 i believe that rei says "I think that i must be the third one now" reffering to the # of times that she has been "cloned".

2)You Do find out what the angels are and that is one of the famous "headfucks" that eva gives the viewer, As for where the angels come from, good question, the are just kidna there..... and for why they are coming to earth , it does specifically and in detail explain why the angels are coming, I'm sad to say that i'm not to sure of those specifics though, something to do with causing a "third impact"

[Propyro]

i suggest you watch all of eva.

But yes rei is a sort of clone. watch and find out who she is.

no we never really learn anything about the angels origin.

The escaflowne movie is totaly different, and in my opinion, i didn't like it. And as far as i know theres only one movie.

And yes Rah is very good... butfinish watching all of Eva, as long as you can pay attention you'll understand and most of your questions will eventualy get answered.

If you really want the detailed answers to your questions, seek out DW Chang, he really knows his shit when it comes to eva.

Hmm i guess i can try and help on some of the eva questions.

Episodes 1-26 IS what the director wanted you to see, it is the ending in his mind from what ive gathered. How ever, the end of eva, if you reallly want, will give you the ending to the story as far as the "giant mech" thing goes.

Also from what i gathered. Rei is more a "replica" of his wife then she is a clone. Adleast i think thats what the general idea is. And yes it seems their are tons of them which act as the "dummy system".

The angels come from "space". However with their religous background and the whole beams that are crosses, aswell as the fact in an eva trailer it said "how can you stop what comes from god", im guess its something to do with a planned destruction of earth, and yet the eva is mans way of dealing with it.


Erm, hope that made sense.

You need to relly ask yourself " how much of eva really makes any sense"

Though to me it makes almost perfect sense, since i understand some of the religous undertones and vocab, and have watched the whole series through lik some odd 5-6 times, and some eps up to 10-12 individually.

that is so true. I only saw eve once fansubbed, i have the box set and started to rewatch it, but got cut off by lending it to friends, andnow i have to start over again ... i thinkiwas on DDVD 5 ... i jsut reliaed how little i remembered from the last two episodes. I have an almost half decent understanding of eva to, but i don't remember enough of it. watch it all in the prescribbed amounds as seen above. Feel free to ignore EoE.
