It's really open to interpreation. You can argue that everyone lives.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-05-25 21:16:26

Okay, really, stop spoiling.

Bob · 2011-05-25 21:17:48

Thank god I already knew all of this, otherwise, I would be pretty pissed right about now.

MillerCross · 2011-05-25 21:18:33

Yeah, let's just watch the mindfuck. In fact, I think I'll watch it with her. I already finished my logic homeowrk and I'm not feeling up to recheck my Humanities notes.

Vorpy · 2011-05-25 21:25:11

45 minutes until impact.

DonZabu · 2011-05-25 21:25:35

It was his sled.

Forzare · 2011-05-25 21:27:18

^^ Would that be second impact or third impact?

Vorpy · 2011-05-25 21:28:55

...herm?

glennmagusharvey · 2011-05-25 21:29:16

Well, let's just say that it's not clear who lives and who dies when all is said and done.

No, I'm not kidding.

MillerCross · 2011-05-25 21:29:37

The second impact was a catastrophical event in the show.

^ This.

DonZabu · 2011-05-25 21:30:12

Guys, stop talking.

Vorpy · 2011-05-25 21:31:13

oh. So it's the complete opposite of Bleach, right? Where a main character or cute girl has a VERY HIGH CHANCE of getting killed off and you don't have to go "No, she's a main character, she's not going to die in the 3rd episode. (Scoff)"

MillerCross · 2011-05-25 21:35:40

Yup. Anybody can die. Won't tell you who, but I'll tell you that every single person on that show isn't safe.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-05-25 21:37:47

Also, the plot does not make sense unless you think it does.

Vorpy · 2011-05-25 21:41:35

Wow, this is thrilling. I can't wait.

22 minutes remaining until the DVDs are migrated.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-05-25 21:42:19

And make sure you brush up on your Kabbalah.

Vorpy · 2011-05-25 21:52:19

I thought NGE was supposed to be Christianity based?

DonZabu · 2011-05-25 21:54:35

It's based on both.

Vorpy · 2011-05-25 21:55:35

Ah, okay.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-05-25 21:59:00

Don't worry; there are no background knowledge prerequisites.

Bob · 2011-05-25 21:59:15

Why is anime never based on traditional African religions? Racist Japan.

(Y'know, other than Egypt. Yu-gi-oh doesn't count.)

glennmagusharvey · 2011-05-25 22:02:55

Because no one in the developed world's animé fandom can distinguish between different brown-skinned, face-painted, oval-shielded, fang-necklace-wearing, spear-carrying, jungle-yodelling, hut-inhabiting primitive hunter-gatherer tribes.

Bob · 2011-05-25 22:03:35

Vorpy · 2011-05-25 22:04:43

You know most african tribes hang out in the savannah and wear clothing, right?

Bob · 2011-05-25 22:05:41

~~Like anyone who keeps up with Anime knows or cares about that.~~

Noimporta · 2011-05-25 22:07:58

Yu-gi-oh doesn't count
Yu gi Oh counts at least as much as Evangelion does.

Vorpy · 2011-05-25 22:10:41

Yugioh is hollywood egyptian more than anything. Sort of like the Mummy movies.

Bob · 2011-05-25 22:11:08

Why does everyone take me seriously? :<

...Oh, right. Internet. Bleh.

Noimporta · 2011-05-25 22:13:52

Why does everyone take me seriously?

Who is? It was just a comment on how irrelevant and at times inaccurate the religious symbolism is in NGE.

Forzare · 2011-05-25 22:13:57

NGE isn't really Christianity based. It just uses the symbols for rule of cool.

Howdy, Stranger!
