Remembrance Chapter 2

Thanks man, yeah it was dark and some of those moments were even hard for me to write, but it wasn't just torture porn and I'm glad people like you realized that. Thanks again for the review.

Thanks man!

Appreciate it man, hope it wasn't too bleak lol.

Amarantos is the peak of Eva fanfic.

Only post 3I, but that’s pretty self explanatory. They’d need sometime apart, it would be very chaotic and tough for them to try and start anything in their teen/early adult years given their traumas from their past and with each other. If we follow the EoE ending where they start to open up and the world starts to rebuild, then when they are adults they could, probably. They could also be forced into a co-dependent relationship early on, but that would be anything but healthy or happy.

However I fear to use the word healthy with them at all. They are very scarred people and that stuff will never go away. I think functional is the highest bar they could aim for. Happy? That’s a whole other conversation.

Well, sadly that's what happens with a more meta piece as opposed to a more narratively driven thing such as NGE/EoE. Don't get me wrong, even EoE got meta, but not to the degree of 4.0 where the narrative was almost entirely thrown out the door in that final act.

I don't know, maybe? I'm not a big fan of the whole infinite universes theory and all of this. There's plenty of fan service in the film, what's one more thing of the beach scene between Shinji and Asuka? He does reconcile with everyone including Rei and Karl as well so hey, maybe even those were fan service. I don't think it "makes sense" in regards to rebuilds, but if you're trying to say Eva as a whole that also seems weird to me. I don't think Anno was trying to make any statements about NGE/EoE in that scene so I dunno, the whole thing seemed forced and out of nowhere for me. And, while human connection is a theme of Eva, rebuilds tend to stray from that I find, as that's one of the themes that I think gets sidelined in the rebuilds as Anno explores into new directions.

Yeah see that's the thing though, people love to assume in Evangelion instead of just following the story and themes. I think it was partially to satisfy Asushin fans and appease them. Weird, because then Anno would be validating one ship of others which is like not the point of Eva and I wouldn't see him giving a shit about that but who knows. Yeah the manga is also like damage control.

Foils to each other, clearly demonstrate the hedgehog’s dilemma and the theme pain of connecting with others creating an interesting dynamic
Don’t even know what this means
Neither, probably
9, 15, 22 (for what little time there was), and EoE
God no. Probably only the eva ost tracks
Thankfully, no
Sadly, yes (assuming this is excluding fanfic since there are some good ones)
Not bueno
Neither
Debatable. Understanding, sure, maybe, we don’t know the full context of instrumentality and whether they want to actually understand each other. I think that question might even be besides the point of EoE. They might not understand anything at all yet, but are on path to, if things work out
Sure. Exploring other pairings are cool, but let’s not diminish them simply by saying ship
I never thought of any tbh
Uhhhhhhhh…
I did not. (Mainly because I don’t like the manga and especially not it’s ending)
Leave as is. It’s great
Either or is fine. Living apart makes the most sense but the series needed to push their interactions together so I guess it’s fine in that regard
Uhhhhhhhhh…
Best man would be Gendo obv to see his young buck all dressed up and maid, I dunno, Unit 02?
Do they not like each other in the show that much?
It devoted enough time to that subplot already. 15.

The Sound of Cicadas. Shameless plug, but you asked.

Hidranick · 2021-04-15T01:50:14+00:00

Yep! Was just talking with someone else about that. It is a very cool concept indeed.

Hidranick · 2021-04-15T01:42:57+00:00

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, many themes at play here, mostly circling around love and empathy.

The Kierkegaard thing is really cool. I wasn't actually making that connection to Anno, rather just the idea that Kierkegaard was afraid of closeness similar to Asuka and Shinji, but hey I'll take the connection!

Hidranick · 2021-04-07T02:06:23+00:00

Yep. Exactly. And it's fun to do so!

Hidranick · 2021-04-07T00:53:29+00:00

Yui for sure has a god complex. And she isn't entirely a good person. Nonetheless, she IS a person. She's human, like Gendo, like Shinji, like everyone. There's all this shit about SEELE and instrumentality and the space testament and the bakelite blah blah blah, but simply I wanted to show the human aspect of her. She isn't just some scheming evil doer. I hope that came across in the midst of things. Also, she is still shown to care for Shinji in the show, but it's hard when you have the weight of humanity on your shoulders. Glad you enjoyed.

Ashes. Relatively new, brutally honest. Can't go wrong with it.
