I wouldn't think Jesus would be that into Evangelion. I mean, being a baby savior of humanity and all I'd think he'd have better things to do with his time. :\

Oh, fine. It makes baby [insert likable child here] cry. I still stand by my point.

It's still a baby. I don't really think it's going to be watching TV for a while.

Alright. I'm done.

I don't mind the characters but some of the merchandise makes baby Jesus cry.

Now that is how you antagonize Christians.

I refer to it as my Christian ward. Christians who have no idea what Eva is probably think I'm a Christian and don't try to convert me. The effect is somewhat ruined whilst wearing metal band shirts.

No, I mean, could we figure out it was Third Impact?

You mean, if we had only watched the first 24 episodes, could we have figured out what third impact was in advance? I'm thinking no.

Short of six months of kabbalic analysis, anyhow.

Well besides the fact that instrumentality starts about halfway through episode 25, which I guess they didn't explicitly tell you, there's a card at the beginning of episode 26 that flat out tells you "The Instrumentality of human beings has begun" or somesuch.

Edit:

You mean, if we had only watched the first 24 episodes, could we have figured out what third impact was in advance? I'm thinking no.
Of course you can! They tell you EXACTLY what it is in episode 25. Ritsuko tells Misato that there is a fundamental emptiness in human souls and that the Human Instrumentality Project is designed to fill those holes. Maybe you guys aren't making the connection between Instrumentality and Third Impact?

Edit again: OK, if you had only seen up to episode 24, it'd be much harder. Why would you stop there though?

The effect of Evangelion is thoroughly ruined if you don't sympathize with the characters.

Most likely true, as this is the exact case for me.

Well, I was thinking that you'd hypothetically stop watching before Instrumentality started. I don't particularly understand Zyxzy's question.

I sympathized with the characters. Even Rei to an extent.

On an unrelated note, I'd like to point out the current ad at the bottom of this page.

Aw, but Haven's line was funny.

I would get an LCL drink container. Just for the lulz.
