That episode is a prime example of why eva is overrated. It's an 8 at best.
>password not being swordfish
BIG MISTAKE
Hey Jet Alone, what's your special ability?
"POWER WALKING"
Jet Alone is the inferior version of Boss Borot.
>>155234412
>some people seriously thought this shit could take on an angel without blowing up into radioactive pieces
>>155236720
No this is a prime example of Gianax being shit at managing time, money and energy
>>155236720
Nah, it's the plot in general and episode 25 & 26.
>>155238516
what made eva units special compared to it? they used manmade weaponry.
>>155234412
Well,that was one fucking awful idea.
Jet Alone is a very cool robot name
I liked this episode. Jet alone is retarded yes, but I enjoyed it giving Misato and Ritsuko more screen time, and the whole presentation/locker kicking scene is pretty entertaining.
>>155239106
The fact that they did not blow up entire cities by malfunctioning.
>>155234412
I liked his design.
>>155240348
Didn't their test S2 engine blow up an entire facility though? It's before Shinji just ate one
>>155239106
They could produce and break through AT Fields. It's like Minovsky Particles in that it's bullshit designed solely to make a giant bipedal mobile suit even remotely viable for combat.
>>155240528
Yeah besides that one the reason EVA units didn't have S2 engines was because the armor was really just constraints on the EVA so once it would go nuts with an S2 it'd go nuts forever.
>>155238516
>NERV shills blamming others for their own sabotage.
You are like women in their periods. Jet Alone was safe.
>>155238516
People also thought that space shuttles could be cheap, but then it was too late, too much funding has gone into it. It's quite realistic, really, overspending on some "genius" project and then never letting it go when it's clearly flawed.
>>155240601
Yeah, "magical" AT field, which works only when child in distress is operating the robot, previously untested and no evidence for it before the angels attacked.
Second worst episode after Magma Diver
>>155241825
Gendo and SEELE knew what was going on the whole time because reasons. They knew for a fact that Evas were the only ones that could fight the Angels, and to begin with, that whole Human Instrumentality Project thing was centered on it.
The government, on the other hand, had no faith in the Evas at all. That's why they tried to fight the third Angel with conventional weapons and NERV let them because A) they knew it wouldn't work and B) letting them try and fail would be the fastest way to greenlight the launch of the Evas.
>>155241825
Why would anyone build a giant monster robot thing before the angels anyway?
>>155241985
The first Angel was sighted long before production of the Evas was underway.
>>155241936
Yes, some shadowy club of Illuminaty, some crazy guy asking for trillions in funding, because he found some mythical "dead sea scrolls" he isn't showing anyone and he tells he is the only one who can stop Third Impact vs some young corporate startup which ask only half a billion to make functional prototype which has almost limitless power and could be used in any battle situation.
So why the push for the Jet Alone?
>>155241985
It was written in the scrolls.
>>155242058
Because Evas are stupid. They need to be connected to a power source to function, they can only function without an external power source for five minutes and they can only take on certain specific fourteen-year-olds as pilots, also they're unstable.
>>155242151
Exactly
>>155239106
What the fuck are you even asking? Evas are fucking proto-gods. All they need is an internal energy supply and they become fucking omnipotent.
Jet Alone already has its own internal generator and it's still just a dumb robot.
>>155234412
Kaji could've solved all of this if he'd just put a cap in Gendo's head and waterboarded Fuyutsuki in episode 8.
>>155241936
This sounds like some kind of anime meta about unorthodox projects vs simple, conventional safe anime that isn't adventurous in design.
>>155234412
Jet alone is the hero we needed, but didn't deserve
WALKIN ON A DREAM
HOW CAN I EXPLAIN
>>155241985
Second Impact was started by the first angel
>>155242506
By Gendo fucking around with it too much.
>>155242601
Intentionally iirc
So Adam would be embryonic or some shit
>>155242690
Everything was Gendos fault.
>>155237961
I think Jet Alone was based on Godzilla's Jet Jaguar from Godzilla vs Megalon. He's an Ultraman's poor man just like Jet Alone is an Eva's poor man and Jet Jaguar's original name was Red Arone.

Kaji shoots Gendo in episode 8. Problem solved, Series over.
>>155238516
JA was given a second chance.
>>155245580
>>155245605
The only good thing about ANIMA was Rei going psycho and sexually abusing Shinji
What was exactly the goal of this episode? It's so far removed from the rest of the series.
>>155245790
To be filler since Ramiel was such a huge impact and to show Misato as having some competence.
AIN'T NOTHIN' GONNA BREAK MY STRIDE
Shinji is bi and luuvs Kaworu
