all most people need to point out is firefly to nip that in the bud.

Fox really hates airing anything how it's supposed to be. Maybe Req actually works for Fox and thinks that Firefly/Almost Human were both meant to be aired out of order. | ||

Oh come on, that's the bloody most obvious "exception that proves the rule" example in the book. Besides, the channel choosing to play it out of order against the wishes of the creator hardly counts. | ||

just tried to pick up the Monolith to see how it dried, dropped it from a height of about half an inch, and it immediately fell apart into pieces on contact with the table I can't deal with this right now | ||

I guess the point is Eva jumps the shark in the weirdest way. it just goes super weird without having enough buildup to get there. its like the anti-lost. so watching it in a way you can ease into that weirdness is better. | ||

They're the Hindu and Buddhist ones, which are way more subtle and honestly you won't pick up on them unless you've lived in Asia and know a lot about the weirder elements of eastern philosophy. But like I said, I don't think the religious symbolism is one of the better draws of the show. There are people who enjoy that and that's fine, but what I enjoy are all the scenes of Shinji alone in his room trying to come to terms with all the shit that's going on. Those are the scenes that I think are really well done. | ||

It's like the Engrish a bit everywhere: gotta remember it's what's exotic for them so obviously there's a draw (although I'm not sure if the neverending inclusions of Longinus or Longinus' spear in some form is a continued biblical reference, or a biblical reference from Eva that became an Eva reference from other animes). not really. anime aimed at otaku or games may use biblical references but they tend to be lumped in with the rest of mythology from all over the world. you probably only recognize the biblical references because you don't know the other mythological references. also in general you won't see those references in any other japanese media besides anime/games. for some reason i'm randomly reminded of the old wizardry rpgs and their countless references to eastern philosophy that are necessary to solve certain puzzles. i don't know how they did it back then. | ||
