Regardless of whether he had pictures or not he would have told Shinji he didn't just to hide the Rei/Yui connection. I mean, she was probably the most brilliant scientist of all time, hard to believe there wouldn't be plenty of records of her all over the world.

I like to think Rei would be open to most things as long as they were relaxed to some degree. Or maybe she is totally wild and hasn't realised yet? Like you could take her to a metal or punk show and she would start moshing and shit.

I'm certain she's yet to find what she likes and whatnot may find fun things to be fun.
Think about Toast-Running Rei, that's her natural state if she was not in NERV.

Having played some Ayanami Raising i really like the concept of curing Rei with exposing her to nice an different things and teaching her to enjoy the life.

And well there are Punk-Biker and BDSM-Mistress endings. That indeed is extreme but I think rei migh like many things

Word. I love it though.

>>2619286
That's kind of the gist of it. I think Gamzatti was contact mics placed in ballet dancers' shoes and processed through loads of guitar pedals.

Although to me, noise has always been about the interplay between the different elements of a release, like the artwork, track titles, lyrics, and live performance, and not just the music alone. It's all about re-contextualising stuff, and shedding (usually darker) different lights on things through this interplay. There is a huge essay included in Gamzatti about ballet being perverse and voyeuristic. Pretty cool and interesting.

Here is the back of the Rei poster if anyone was further interested. I have the front framed now!

>>2619602
Keep trying dude. You're gonna make it.

>>2619035
Exactly. She is such a powerful character, and the air of mystery and ambiguity makes her really fit this kind of thing. I find it awesome that such an esteemed artist chose to use Rei like this.

>>2620011

Right, even though she outwardly appears meek, awkward and unsociable, she radiates through that an immense inner strength, far in excess of perhaps any other character on the show. Where most of them are simply putting up barriers to hide their inner turmoil and weakness.

>she radiates through that an immense inner strength, far in excess of perhaps any other character on the show

Completely agree though you can drop the 'perhaps':

When she first shows up she's injured and can't even move without feeling intense pain yet she still would have fought in those conditions.

Despite the fact that she too had zero piloting experience seeing as she got those injuries when she first attempted to sync with an eva.

Despite knowing what kind of pain she would endure if she failed by throwing injuries on top of injuries.

She would have done it because she felt it was her duty.

The first few episodes of eva are interesting in how they show Shinji dealing with becoming a pilot, but Rei is simultaneously on that exact same boat yet she she handles it vastly different.

File: NGE-death.jpg (10KB, 360x288px) Image search: [Google]

10KB, 360x288px

>>2620168
And from there she only grows stronger as all the other characters start to fall apart as the show goes on:

When Shinji gets proved by Leliel he basically gave up on life and would have died if not for Yui/Eva going berserk and saving him.

When Arael does the same to Asuka she too would have died if not for Rei, but instead just stops being a functioning human being, tries to die anyway.

When Armisael tries to do the same thing to Rei, she just acknowledges the pain she feels and decides to sacrifice herself not because of any suicidal or self pitying reason but because the Angel is still a threat and it's the only way to neutralize it... and then comes back to life and proceeds to fuck up Gendo & Seele's plans.

Because Rei was reading something and the way to make Asuka popular is to have her mimic parts of Rei.

Maybe from his perspective; but from hers it's a fact that she was into him.In her very Rei way but she was.

I never saw Shinji/Rei as being incest, since the latter is basically a partial clone of his mother. Heck, in the Rebuild saga, those two share a relationship that has pretty much overtaken his relationship with Asuka as being one of the cores of the story.

>>2621447
I remember that in the manga their relationship was pretty romantic, too. Hand holding! Possibly a kiss also, I'm not sure.

Imagine kissing Rei.

I think the only time you ever saw her with heavy medication in the show is in ep 05 when she was coming off from her injuries at the beginning of the show, and since you also see the bloodied bandages around the picture gets muddied because it could have been just pain medication and stuff she just never got rid of. in Rebuild it's made clearer since you see her taking medication even when she is seemingly perfectly healthy. So that's the implication, but even then it's not clear what the purpose is: is it to keep her from falling apart health-wise? Is it magical growth hormones since she's actually 8yo tops, is it something to maybe keep her compliant and keep her from tapping her Lilith powers? who knows.

it's probably for low blood pressure or some other condition she got from imperfect cloning

The anime version is better developed by far, and does a better job of completing the character by the end.

It might ruin your love of the series. Don't go beyond the first film if you're worried about this.

1 is pretty much a HD remake of the first few NGE episodes, but 2.0 starts the process of full retard with the new Asuka and the ridiculous ending. 3.0 is genuinely the most stupid shit I've ever seen.

Like >>2622628 said there is some cute HD digitally animated Rei, but we have cute HD Rei already in true form because of the NGE BDs that got released.

1.0 and 2.0 are good movies viewed in succession. Sadly, two movies alone won't cover Rei much less Evangelion.

They could have gotten somewhere if 3.33 wasn't such a anti-Rei, pro-Asuka/Kaworu pandering movie. By focusing on the characters and the story instead of pandering, you'd get something similar to the series in terms of quality for some characters, though not all.

2.0 is already a mess, the whole mary illustrious thing just... no

even 1.0 I find difficult to say is better than the equivalent episodes of the series

>>2622976
Nothing messy about it desu famila.

Not saying 1.0 is better, but it's a movie version of the episodes. Take that as you will.

>>2622980
not exactly, and where it differs I think it's rarely for the better, if ever

>>2622983
I don't mind some differences as long as they're built and developed well, and the level of difference by the end of 2.0 speaks for a greater potential than a cut-down remake.

>>2622959
I don't even think 3.33 was that pro-asuka. I mean, I've seen the argument that she became more of an 'angry badass' character but that's got to be the lowest tier of character archetypes now a days, and in exchange they lost everything that mad Soryu great, but of course the Asukafags didn't give a shit because they're appreciation of the character boils down to 'tits and ass in red now with more eye-patch'. Really the only character its more of an expansion on (notice I don't say improvement) is Kaworu.

As for 1.11 and 2.22, they had some problems, 1.11 is the better realized one of the three mostly because it sticks the closest to NGE but it does jump around in some weird ways from time to time, in a way it's biggest weakness comes from it's biggest strength, it's so close to NGE that it feels episodic rather than cinematic.


As for 2.22 that's where the real problems start, like >>2622976 says, the Mari thing and other things but it had also some positives, some people didn't like poka Rei but the NGE arc 2.22 covered basically had no Rei in it so it was nice to see her get some focus. And it all could have worked up towards something if it hadn't been for 3.33.

>>2622990
>I don't even think 3.33 was that pro-asuka.

Of course, it's not truly "pro-asuka" in the sense that it actually respects the original character. But it's pro-asuka in the sense that it glorifies the character. Glorifying a character in this manner does involve lying about it, and disrespecting it in that way. The same goes for Kaworu, only he's more front-and-center. The expansion for Asuka is a ridiculously upgraded character-set, in a shallow manner like the rest of the movie.

You're totally wrong that the arc 2.22 covers didn't have Rei in it, it had some of the best Rei moments and interaction inbetween the children. Remember the spider angel episode, for instance.

I don't think either of these movies have problems that can't be attributed to the fact that they're movies.

Sure, it's one of my favorite moments, Rei playing along with Asuka's ego stroking despite knowing she's a terrible leader until stuff actually mattered and then took the lead without hesitation, and kind of foreshadows how easily she would take power away from Gendo despite him feeling in charge too.
But moments like that happen kind of on the periphery of what's happening and it's mostly Asuka front and center during those episodes. Which maybe is kind of the point, Rei's fine not getting the spotlight, she can outshine anyone even from the background, it's kinda her style.

Episode 7 - Rei doesn't show up
Episode 8 - Rei doesn't show up
Episode 9 - She shows up a little bit in school and while Asuka and Shinji train that's it
Episode 10 - She swims a little bit
Episode 11 - She hangs out with Asuka and Shinji when the lights are out, she passes Shinji a rife, muses about man and fire. (this one's cool)
Episode 12 - she shows up for some tests, their mission briefs, the fight and to have some garlic ramen
Episode 13 - she gets naked for some tests

Episode 14 -
This episode is an exception since in the recap she's the one who gets the most focus. But that's seven episodes with Rei having a very secondary role in what's happening.

Episode 15 - Again, Rei shows up just a little bit

Episodes 16-20 are fine, she gets back her relevance as character within what's happening not just because of what's going to happen. and if she takes a back seat here is because consequential stuff actually starts to go down.

All in all, there's only a couple of episodes she's not in. Consider that Asuka is literally not present until episode 8. (or 7, was it)
That is not being present.

File: 16-DistraughtRei.jpg (34KB, 720x540px) Image search: [Google]

34KB, 720x540px

>>2623373
My argument is not that she's literally not present but that she really doesn't do, develop or interact that meaningfully for quite a long stretch of episodes, she basically got put in 'pause' between episode 6 and episode 16. She's in most episodes but most of the appearances I listed are borderline cameos.

In retrospect, 2.22 might have handled it poorly but getting to see how her crush towards Shinji developed beyond the Ramiel fight could have been a good way of integrating her more into what was going on during that stretch of the story rather than just have her hang around, building her meme reputation as emotionless.

Instead we get to wait until pic related, to get a sense of what else is going on with her. Don't get me wrong I'm in no way defending Rebuild or putting down NGE which to me is near perfect but as a Reifag, if it was up to me I would have done a little bit more with Rei during those episodes, not too much, I get Asuka needed to have her focus to make up for her absence at the start and that even expanding on some of the other characters is what gave Eva a scope and texture Rebuild lacks.

But just a little bit more Rei could have been great.

>>2623430
My argument is against the "meme" or common misconception/slander that Rei isn't present in those episodes. I know very well she's less present than she was prior and after, but it's just not true that
>[she doesn't] develop or interact that meaningfully for quite a long stretch of episodes
I found all of your examples where Rei is in it to be meaningful and without them, the preceding episodes where the development becomes more intense wouldn't make sense or would become less grounded.

Because NGE had a good and considerate mix of characters. It wouldn't make sense if Rei had high focus all the time, just like it doesn't make sense to have kaworu, asuka or other later-introduced characters there from the start.
NGE is so good that it hardly needs changing, so when you make a remake like the Rebuild series, you need to change something up otherwise it's just a rehash.

I think they were very conscious of that since the beginning, as after all, they are directors and otaku, who no doubt spend their time whining about rehashes of other franchises. So even 1.11 has drastic changes to the story and setting, despite being nearly identical otherwise.

So while Rebuild seems to have gone off the deep end, I don't think either 1.11 or 2.22 handled things poorly. There are differences, but not differences that can't be used to develop a strong story, plot or set of characters. 3.33 is simply irredeemable in this regard. So you need neither more or less Rei (or x character), you need the to be developed in a fairly distributed manner.

Because a four-movie series that is all about Rei but excludes other characters would only hurt the integrity of Rei's development and character, in the same way that a movie series which attacks Rei and spends no time on anything else but that (3.33) is also just baseless masturbation from Anno.

She's the most beautiful girl in the world.
