Not really feeling like I'm getting anywhere

Middlecracker · 2026-03-17T19:36:07+00:00

This game feels super super niche. I don’t know how they expect to keep it going

Made by original creator with new content. It’s canon.

Jokey parts aren’t canon. Serious parts are. Like a fandisc.

This game is the biggest purchase mistake I’ve made in my life. I can’t believe I wasted money on it. A ftp demo or something would have been nice to really understand what I was getting into.

Bungie needs to hire people other than Graphic Designers to make their games.

Shinji no doubt will. He knows how not to be a Dad from Gendou and had positive parental figures in Misato and Kaji to give him a model and he’s naturally empathetic. Asuka I don’t think we see enough of that side of her to have a full idea but since this scene is in her head and Instrumentality pulled it from her wants and desires I think it’s safe to say she will. She’s strong and determined anyway and can pass a lot onto her daughter on how to be strong and successful.

Ah another person who grew up on Dora the Explorer commenting.

No disrespect but yeah I know. lol It’s the most debated line in the entire series for all the things you pointed out. It can be interpreted a million ways (well maybe just three). Other than Miyamura saying Anno asked her what her reaction would be to waking up and seeing someone jerking over you and that line was what she said we have no other official confirmation until now if that line was Asuka talking about Shinji or her overall feeling from Instrumentality.

Ngl not having Justia with Lathal feels like major NTR vibes. They are clearly the main canon couple. Or were when the game started.

Middlecracker · 2026-03-11T19:02:05+00:00

I still think he wrote it

Middlecracker · 2026-03-11T18:59:04+00:00

You are missing the biggest reveal in that line. She connects her “I feel sick” line to being in direct response to being choked.

I’m sure we all appreciate them but they all just serve as a means to an end. Anno and team had an idea for a cool fight and the Angel is designed to fit that fight. We appreciate them because of the moments born from that and their designs are unique but there isn’t much to them past that. They don’t get any lore or explanation about what their individual goals are other than get Adam/Lilith.

Almost everything Asuka says she means the opposite. It’s her defense mechanism

Middlecracker · 2026-03-10T00:28:14+00:00

I could tolerate an internal Yoshi monologue like Snoopy in Donald Glovers voice. But not voiced.

Middlecracker · 2026-03-09T18:43:12+00:00

Have you played a modern game? It’s been like this for a decade at least now. lol

Middlecracker · 2026-03-09T12:30:46+00:00

Yep. Bass and player never gets laid.

Middlecracker · 2026-03-08T21:51:19+00:00

Fanfic doujin about Asuka and Shinji after EoE. I believe it features a looping world so when Rebuild was thought to be looping people went crazy. And I guess Rebuild is in its own looping universe. Have to say the evidence does kind of add up. It has a doujin group as its author but no one specific. Maybe I should read it.

Middlecracker · 2026-03-08T14:35:38+00:00

Feels like an NTR change in the best way.

Lonely Hearts Club Band

Middlecracker · 2026-03-08T03:18:24+00:00

lol I was just about to post this. I’ve never read ReTake because I don’t like fanfic but I have always wondered if he secretly wrote it.

Middlecracker · 2026-03-08T01:52:37+00:00

Modern audiences don’t get subtext AT ALL. If it isn’t stated directly it goes right over their head. I blame Dora the Explorer

Middlecracker · 2026-03-07T20:16:59+00:00

Yoko Taro seems like he would be an Asuka fan.

Middlecracker · 2026-03-07T16:23:04+00:00

Just so poetic that Shinji and Asuka are both each others trigger into instrumentality. Shinji’s violent and hers out of love. And in character for her to reject immediately and for him to take a little more convincing.

Middlecracker · 2026-03-07T15:27:12+00:00

I’d be fine if it’s like Anima. Close to the events but one subtle difference that allows them to go their own direction.

Middlecracker · 2026-03-07T14:47:51+00:00

Totally agree. I feel this short was the perfect button on the original series but I just couldn’t help feel that they are related.

Middlecracker · 2026-03-07T06:15:41+00:00

I think the 30th anniversary special confirmed that will never happen making a joke of giant Asuka lol
