Line #16 Fanfic/GhostInTheEvangelion


1	Well, once upon a time, there was a series with HumongousMecha, overblown Freudian imagery, and a MindScrew ending. And another one with less robots, but even more MindScrew. And a final one, with some MiniMecha, and quite a bit of ViewersAreGeniuses.

3	And, so, as a result, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5396787/1/Ghost_in_the_Evangelion The Ghost of Evangelion]] is a ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''[=/=]''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain''[=/=]''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' {{Crossover}}, by Tropers/LatwPIAT.

5	She likes TechnologyPorn and GunPorn. A lot.

7	In 2020, the fic received its final update from its author, who decided to end it after only seven chapters. The final update gave an overview of the author's rough ideas for how the rest of the story would have gone had it been finished.

10	!!See ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'', and ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' for other tropes which might appear. Specific tropes found in ''Ghost In The Evangelion'':
11
12	* AmericaSavesTheDay: The American Empire tries this.
13	* BilingualBonus: Creeps in, especially in [[GeniusBonus Sumerian]] or German.
14	* ColdSniper: Saito. They ''try'' to teach the rudiments of this to the pilots; it is dubiously successful.
15	* {{Cyborg}}: Cyborgs? In a GITS crossover? [[MemeticMutation It's more likely than you think]]. Pretty much every character has at least some implants; Rei in particular received multiple grafts after the Unit 00 Synchronisation Accident.
16	* DeadpanSnarker: This Shinji may not be so good at the deadpan, but he more than makes up for it in snark.
17	* DeadFic: After seven years of no updates, the author finally gave up on the fic, releasing one final update explaining the situation and giving an overview of what would have possibly happened afterward.
18	* FunWithAcronyms: D.E.A.T. aka Defence:Extraterrestrial and Alien Threats, the American counterpart to ECCO, the reskinned NERV.
19	* FusionFic: ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'' and ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'', to be precise.
20	%%* GunPorn
21	* HeroicBSOD: Shinji lapses into this state several times during the Ishkur fight.
22	* {{Infodump}}: The author is exceptionally fond of these, and will quite frequently get rather distracted by describing the ''proper'' sniping tactics.
23	%%* MindScrew: Rei/Lain moments.
24	* NoTranshumanismAllowed: Averted; there may be questions of what makes a person a person, but that doesn't stop full-body prosthetics or anything like that.
25	** Also subverted. Aramaki is shocked by the very high rate of cyberization in Shinji's new class. Usualy, only a minority of the minors population has cyberbrains and other cyberizations.
26	* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Getting that gun was such a pain.
27	* {{Omake}}: [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5860003/1/teh_Mathematical_Adventures_of_Rei_Ayanami teh Mathematical Adventures of Rei Ayanami]], complete with intentional misspelling. This largely consists of [[ViewersAreGeniuses mathematical jokes]].
28	* OurGodsAreDifferent: The Rakbu, the reskinned Angels, are ''weird''.
29	%%* PostCyberpunk: Well... duh.
30	* PsychicBlockDefense: Yui acts like this for Shinji when Major tries to mindhack Shinji. Doesn't stop her doing it herself though, for obvious reasons.
31	%%* ShownTheirWork: In great detail.
32	* SpiderTank: As expected from a ''Ghost In The Shell'' crossover. Less expected is the fact that the Tachikomas have taken it upon themselves to protect Rei's virtue (from Shinji).
33	* VeteranInstructor: Saito temporarily takes this role.
34	* TheWorfEffect: A carrier battle group, the symbol of the military might of the American Empire, is quickly annihilated by Ishkur, the reskinned version of Ramiel.
