Does that really happen in the anime? I watched the anime series (no movies) and I don't remember it at all thankfully.

It's in the End of Evangelion movie. It's not in the TV series, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the comic.

What comic? Eva wasn't based on a comic

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This one.

The comic technically started release first, but didn't finish until like 2013. It has little differences throughout, and it's ending is pretty similar to EoE. If you are into the franchise enough to watch the rebuild movies, it's probably worth a quick read.

I cut things off at EoE. That and the series are a full story and I ain't need more.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Valid! I only read the comic because they talked about it on the Ghost Divers podcast lol

There are a lot of things I'll check out extraneous stuff just to see what's up. With Eva it feels like I'm doing it a disservice. The same 22 year old Japanese co-worker who wasn't aware that Kurosawa was well known outside of Japan and has seen all the extra crap exemplifies why not. When she found out I was familiar cause she was humming the theme and I joined in she asked who my favorite character is. I don't have a favorite character in this, it's a story about people thst are pretty hard to like. She's s big Asuka fan and it shows and we've had running gags over who is who, our Shinji is a 35 year old dude who is basically Rich Evans cause it would be funny. I'm Misato and Peddy who's Phillipino, doesn't talk much and is an absolute powerhouse on the line is Rei

Actually, rebuilds are their own story and worth the watch. Third one went off the rails into Gurren Lagann and ending of the fourth was a nice final ending of entire franchise.
