The Evas that NERV made are actually clones of Lillith, the big marshmallowy angel they keep crucified in the "basement". The Evas SEELE made are cloned from Adam (another similar angel that was reverted into an embryo and implanted in Gendo's hand). They're not really specific about *how* they get the mothers' souls into the Evas, but that's the whole reason they're able to "synchronize" with the pilots. The "armor" on them is actually a complex system of restraints, allowing the pilots to control the Evas from the inside! When the Evas come alive on their own, or go berzerk, that's them breaking free or overpowering the restraint system.

Evangelion,........, the deeper you go into it the more questions you have and one answer leads to a bigger question.

i always loved the thinking man's stuff and the ones with deep stories/characters and romance. Makes a refreshing change to all the simple mindless gung-ho live movies you see everybody else watching! that's why i love anime so much! :bg:

In anime stories...anything can happen! That's why many people like it..you can't just predict what's gonna happen next. ^_^

There are much better places to escape to that Neon Genesis Evangelion. Ug... If I had to spend five minutes alone with any of the main characters and somebody would be dead...

well, actually i was referring to animes in general! ^^'

youre right the NGE universe isnt exactly the most cheery of places. i wouldn't watch NGE to finish a day of anime viewing if i want to finish with a good mood.

NGE is one of my fav animes. Yes it is probably the most depressing one out there. I hated movie since everyone one of my favorite characters died rather violently. Misato who was practically Shinji's mother gets shot and Asuka is eaten alive in the most horrible way possible. I wouldn't have cared if Shinji died though

Just for this thread, i'm actually thinking of re-watching eva.
(I haven't read all the posts here to not spoil myself of anything i've forgotten)

I watched eva when i was just turning 13 (I had received it for my birthday) And soon after bought the movies and watched them. Maybe this is why i am so screwed up? lol.

But yes, eva did effect me pretty bad. I remember after watching the series just laying in my bed with my head spinning for hours. Even worse with the movies. I re-watched it about a year later when i was 14, and now, just turning 17, i think its time to re-watch it and see how my perspective of the series has changed.

I'm planning to watch the hole series in one sitting, and movies.

This should be very fun. I'll give you a update ^_^
