So I recently finished the series and EoE and having read some info on wikis about the show, I noticed it says Kaoru has Adam's soul. I don't recall this ever being mentioned in the series or the movie. I then realized there is actually a director's cut for eps 21 - 24. I also noticed all the eps I watched were 23 mins which means I didnt watch the director's cut.

My question now is was this detail about Kaoru mentioned in the director's cut? Help a brother out cuz seeing Kaoru appear in EoE confused me.

Not sure about the odds of an eva fan having a partner, but send it to your chiquita

I dont think it was ever mentioned in the version of NGE I watched. I also dont think it was mentioned in The End of Evangelion. The only thing that comes to mind is the director's cut of eps 21 - 24. Was this little detail mentioned in that version?

I'm asking since I have never watched the director's cut version of NGE (the version I watched was 23 mins across all episodes) and the reveal of Kaworu in EoE is driving me crazy. Like why was he there all of a sudden. Thanks.

i want to get a NGE tattoo at some point in my life, but i'm not sure what to get and need some ideas. this show holds a very special place in my heart cause my sister and i watched it together all the time during quarantine and they're some of the only fond memories i have of that time. so, please show off those tattoos! i was thinking of getting one of pen-pen or something misato-related :P

I just finished watching NGE and EoE for the first time and I'm left with this feeling of I guess emptiness and dread? Anyone else feel like this after their first watch. So many questions left unanswered and the ending just left even more. Why did asuka say no? What did her final words of "disgusting" mean? Why did Misato kiss shinji? So many more.

i’ve seen this image in multiple places with and without colour but i have no idea where it originates from, is it from sadamoto’s manga (although it doesn’t really look like his style) or is it fanart?

I just wanted to know if anyone knew of any Eva collabs that are currently going on, mostly ones that are available for the United States

So uh I'm not sure how to post but i kind of need help looking for a asuka artwork my friend couldn't find on twitter

It's this asuka on one side slowly turning into eva 02 face art wip in a long rectangle (horizontal) with a beige with abit of gore/body horror

there was apparently a speedpaint too

I've noticed something quite interesting when watching The End of Evangelion for the 3rd time now.

During part one, we see Rei III floating in a pool of LCL when the JSSDF begin to attack NERV headquarters. I noticed that there were nine other pools around hers, arranged much like the Kabbalah or the Jewish Tree of Life. It seems Rei is swimming in the 10th sefirot, Malkhut, meaning "Kingdom". Malkhut symbolises the empirical world and also the grounding of divine energy into physical existence.

Rei's discarded human clothes sitting on the side emphasise her detachment from humanity and shedding of physical constraints. Her presence in Malkhut perfectly mirrors her role as a bridge between the mortal and the divine, being grounded by Yui's genetic material and also having the capacity to transcend individuality and embody the collective consciousness of all life with Lillith's divine essence.

I know representations of the Kabbalah comes up quite a bit throughout the film, but this was something I believe to be very clever by Anno. Rewatching the whole series allows watchers to peel back layers and reveal moments like these, which is why evangelion is a literal masterpiece.

I just started watching the anime and after first 5 episodes i have to say i should have started watchjng it sooner.

I’ve been collecting evangelion merch since last winter but I still don’t have any idea where I can find the merch, does anyone know any trustworthy websites where I can find good Evangelion merch? (Keep in mind that I am European)

P.S. it doesn’t necessarily has to be official merch, I only care if it looks good aesthetically
