He was the only one who provided Shinji with an alternative and probably the only one who listened to him without pushing him toward being "the chosen one".
Not in the manga! Kaworu started making out with him while he was sleeping like the dirty slut he is.
 
One more volume to go! I think so anyways since that was how many where planned.
I will start reading it as soon as it's finished.

Speaking of evangelion manga - has anyone here read Angelic Days. I borrowed the first volume from my library two years back, and never read any further then that. It was kinda interesting from what I read though.

You guys could make an Eva thread you know.
Considering how other EVA threads turn out. (with the trolls and all) i rather not!

Asuka didn't give a shit about him.
She's horrible anyway!

That's Bromance for ya! Too bad he didn't show up in the alternate realities.

I always wondered how the alternate reality in Eva 26 would have gone.

Wait, was the Girlfriend of Steel thing about that? Has my memory failed me?

YOU'RE HORRIBLE.

Shinji didn't get along with Kaworu in the manga so it wasn't so much of a bromance as it was brorape.

I only got two volumes and it's pretty nice.

I like Jinto, but he makes exactly zero forward progress as a character over the course of the series. Once you learn his backstory and he becomes friends with Lafiel, that's it for him. Lafiel still treats him the same way over the course of the series (mild tsundere) but at least she grows as a character more as a result of her experiences in teh space battles.

This is not to say I dislike Jinto, but I would've liked a little more development there.

I did. I'm not sure they could have made him more of a boring character.

The manga - Angelic Days i mentioned before. Is actually about that alternative reality IIRC.:lol

The Abh save the show anyway. Lafiel, Spoor, Lafiel's mom.

Shit, really? How old is it? I'm gonna have to go hunting for it soon.
 
The best Eva manga "thing" I've read is the doujinshi Re-Take. It's absolutely epic and Asuka is just awesome in it.

Epilogue of Evangelion was also cute with Shinji and Asuka
trying to survive after everyone is turned into Tang.

Without jinto the show would have sucked. Seriously his interactions with Lafiel throughout the series are the best parts about it!

It came out in 2003 and ended serialization in 2006.
 
More mini Squid Girl summaries!

First: The brainwashing scene made the entire episode

Second: Pretty sure grade school is too high a level for Ika

Third: :) :) :)

So there's at least one thing you seem to like. :lol
The third bit had such a psyche out ending.

Shit, really? I need to go on an Eva hunting binge.
All this EVA talk has gotten me in the mood to re-watch the entire anime series back-to-back followed by end of evangelion, and then the read manga - angelic days and re-take.:lol (as they all take place after the end of the series it seems). Also maybe I'll consider reading what's available of the NGE manga!

Reading a wiki on it, it seems there was an official soundtrack and trailer made for it. They went all out for it. :lol I need to track that stuff down.

After reading all the manga stuff, track down Epilogue of Evangelion. You'll Daaaawwww like nothing else.

Did I just miss a Re-Take of Evangelion discussion?

Goddammit guys you're not supposed to talk about hentai until after midnight.

Its an example of the doujin industry needlessly inserting sex into what is otherwise a compelling take on the continuation of Eva.

Doujins can be more expensive in Aki than the real things. Its gonna be painful to acquire these things.

Togainu no Chi? Didn't think many were watching it to get the stream treatment over other shows.

Same broadcaster as OreImo and probably they're happy to get what isn't picked up by Funimation or CR.

Is anyone watching that show? :lol there's that first post in the comments section. But i somehow assume that post is sarcastic.:lol
 
Why are you posting pictures of Tamaki then eh?

Ahh, I was unaware of that. That explains it.

Shinjiko vs Kyonko fight!
Shinjiko amirite?

I am. Haven't caught up with it because of how bad the 2nd episode was.

"Needlessly"?

This shit wouldn't sell without it.

Where were you when we were having this discussion. You're right, it wouldn't have sold. I blame the basement dwelling (figuratively, Japanese don't have basements) otaku.

Its a good story that stands up better without the sex though.
 
Epilogue of Evangelion is pretty bad, Angelic days is decent, Retake is awesome, but the best Evangelion doujinshi is obviously this:

Makes more sense than the original ending that's for sure.

Kimigabuchi is primarily an H-doujinshi circle so I don't know what you where expecting.

Don't be afraid of sex. Sex is awesome.
