| Yay! More Misato x Kaji action woohoo!! Also, Kaji is SUPER shady but I think he has his heart in the right place. Don't quote me on that. Pen Pen in this episode killed me. When Shinji stopped playing the cello and Pen Pen was all incensed. I laughed a little bit right there. So "Adam", is the first angel and this has me wondering how on earth this relates to the Human Instrumentality Project. The "first human being" was an angel? Whaaaaat |
| Really interesting episode, I really liked it. - Asuka and Shinji's kiss was really odd, but still funny to watch. I really like them as a couple. - At first, I didn't like how smug and suspicious Kaji was. Of course, after this episode, my views on Kaji changed - I wonder what Misato will do now. - Gendo, what are you doing to Rei and why does she seem okay with all of this? I'm starting to think Rei is an artificial human produced by Gendo and Nerv. - Adam grew a lot from the first time we saw him. I wonder what NERV is planning to do with him/it. Adam's captivity is probably the reason why more Angels are attacking Tokyo-3 and NERV. |
| !!! This show is so fucking good. The only thing I don't like about it is the art, but that's to be expected cause it's old as fuck |
| That Shinji x Asuka kiss though, LOL. |
 |
| The penguin just walking on through LOL. Episodes always tend to end very suddenly, they'll have barely finished their sentence and the to be continued will pop up D: |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Shinji screwed up his piece. Well not like he played it that well anyway... But I'm happy to hear some Bach cello suite :D |
 [/url]Seven-Coloured Puppeteer. |
| Fill my heart with song and let me sing forever more |
 |
| The irony between the wedding scene and Shinji & Gendo at Yui's grave was so cool. And the flow between the different scenes this ep was just A+. Gahh I loved when Shinji was playing his cello. So nice. |
 |
| Well this episode was a bit boring first like 15 minutes, but the end was really interesting. Wonder what will happen next. |
 |
| wow... that ending... damn. The image of Adam crucified is one of the most unsettling things I've seen in awhile. This symbolism is OP. Lmfao @ the kiss scene |

| I wonder where Kaji's loyalties lie or is he in just to learn the truth about all of this ? Asuka couldn't get Keji's attention so she kissed Shinji instead. Not quitting cello because no one else told him to is so typical Shinji but he played good though. |
| Not even Rei/10 |
 |
| Adam is creepy as fuck. I love him (it?). |
 |
| Asuka and Shinji have their first kiss, Shinji nearly fainted though after not being able to breathe. (Pinguin just acting like he didnt see it at all :D) Katsuragi being tipsy and telling some of her deepest thoughts to Kaji. We got to see Rei in a machine filled with LCL I'm guessing, small taste of what's to come. And suddenly we get to see Adam (First Angel) with a Lance of Longinus stuck in it. |
 |
| Drinking is bad for you, just like boredom. Ep 15. Pros: Plot-laid back ep. Mostly seeing into the lives of everyone without Angels for a bit. It's got two stories focusing on the young new generation and the older. Misato contemplates things while Kaji seeks to understand. Shinji is eternally confused Character-This is oddly enough, a couple ep. Featuring two very parallel groups. Misato and Kaji got the most spotlight. His work seems like it will get him killed one day while Misato should never drink. It leads to father talk and she definitely doesn't need to go into there without therapy. On the other side of couples, Shinji and Asuka. Like Kaji, Asuka is wrapped up in her own thing but the killing might not happen...depends on what guy she might leave hanging. Shinji's issues seem to be slowly be resolving themselves with the few chances he gets with his dad. The four come together with a certain gesture but one side definitely lost. Poor Shinji. Shoulda studied on the subject. 4/5. Character and laid back ep. And take notes from Shinji. Freezing up is not a good decision. PS: So...Adam was as creepy as I figured. And it answers what Rei did with that lance. |

 I go where I wanna go, even if its into Oppai. |
| Keeping a angel pinned to a wall is pretty sick. No wonder they keep getting attacked. |
| Such junk... |
| There were a lot of interesting revelations this episode, like Kaji's real job, NERV's many, many secrets, and seeing Rei in a tank of LCL. Also interesting to see what LCL is... Also, Asuka, kind of mean of her to pinch Shinji's nose while kissing, and then run away to wash her mouth out in disgust... But that's Asuka for you. I wonder why everyone in the comments automatically assumed the angel pinned to the wall was Adam? Just because of the first comment???? As always, more symbolic religious references... I should be commenting more on the forums, but whatever. |
| Aws, those kisses were so cute :3 Shinji's short interaction with his father was weird as expected x) And daym, Adam, is that you? o_o The first Angel they say... He looks like something else to me :) |
 |
| The best parts of this episode were Adam at the end, and Asuka kissing Shinji. The rest was just so-so. I thought it was cute and sweet that Asuka kissed him, especially with how long she did it (even though Shinji couldn't breathe lol), but her running to the bathroom and washing her mouth out kind of ruined that moment. But it was funny. :P ★3/5 |
| Gendo displayed a slight amount of softness and sentimentality this episode. Just what was going on in the scene with him and Rei and why do they value each other so much? It was amusing to see Shinji embarrass Rei by commenting how she reminded him of a mother and how she would make a good one. It's interesting to note how this has only been the second time where we've seen her display any real emotion that didn't involve the presence or direct topic of Gendo. However, her smile at Shinji back at the end of episode six was after Shinji had rescued her in the same manner that his father did, so I'm curious if Shinji had somehow inadvertently brought Gendo to Rei's mind. I wasn't a fan of how Asuka taunted Shinji into kissing her by referencing his dead mother. The crucified Angel at the end O_O Wow Adam has grown. So that was what the Lance was for. Wait... *goes back to episode 8* Upon receiving the frozen fossil thing from Kai, Gendo said, "This is Adam, the first human being." But it's an angel... There are several possible implications here, particularly in regards to all the activity regarding the Human Instrumentality Project... (Placing speculations in spoiler tags just in case) |

| ASUKA, YOU WATCH THE CRAPPIEST SAPPY SHOW WITH THAT FREAKING ANNOYING PENGUIN NOBODY IN YOUR HOUSE CARES ABOUT!!! I WANT TO THROW THOSE BAG OF CHIPS AT YOU!!! |
| Numbuh 3, you've got to get off the couch, you cannot sit in that tree house, girl you like Rainbow Monkeys so grab your little shit and then swing! Hand tracks be tracking me to different doorways. In a maze, and I don't know what to do. Guaranteed though, Ima find the emeralds. |
| I wish i had a bored Asuka near me lol great Characters developments in this episode, we see another side of Katsuragi's character, and the final scene of 'Adam' holds a lot to the future plot. |
| Wasn't it said Adam was the first human? Or did I just hear that wrong? If not, does that mean humans and angels are related? And eva's too? Are eva's just captured angels? Because that Adam thing kinda looked like Rei's Eva to me... Speaking of Rei, wth is up with her? Is she an Angel too? And what exactly is Shinji's father doing with her? I honestly have no clue, but this is getting super interesting. |
 |
| Shinji and Asuka kiss. Kaji and Misato's kiss. Kaji a triple agent. That one scene Misato was vomiting I thought they were having sex. Crucified Adam. Some connection between Rei and Shinji's mom. |
| (rewatching again) 5/5 There's romance in the air! That kiss! (both of them) Kaji backround. If you've been paying attention, you've seen him sneaking around. Now then, priority in previous episodes has been to protect Central Dogma from danger. Now you see why. Asuka's reaction to smelling Misato's perfume on Kaji... you could just feel her little heart breaking. It's the little touches like this all over the place that make Eva such a great anime. |

| I would like to live with Asuka if that's what she does with her free time lol . Last part raised many questions . Great Episode . |
| That's what I call an awesome kiss scene between Shinji and Asuka. It's so obvious thats she likes him more than she would admit. I think Gendo is hiding a big secret from Shinji about his mother. Her remains are missing and there are no photos of her. Maybe he used her dead body (or she is still alive?) for an experiment and it might failed horribly. This could be the reason why his relationship to Shinji is so cold. He feels guilty and he can't tell him the truth about his mom. That's just pure speculation and I could be totally wrong though. Another interesting point was that the gun wasn't loaded when Misato pulled the trigger as soon as Kaji opened the door. She probably never intended to kill him no matter what he was trying to do. The first angel looks very creepy if you ask me. There are still so many mysteries which have to get reaveled yet and I totally enjoy that. Great episode ofc. |

| The romance in this episode was refreshing and verry likeable. Intresting ending again. |
| Rei blushing <3 This has to be the most awkward kiss ever lol. |
 |
| Shinni's comment on why he hasn't stoppied playing the instrument: Nobody told me to stop, I guess. :D Asuka, kissing to kill time? That sure was hilarious. I really enjoyed Misato and Kaji this episode. The emotional deprh of this series is something I've missed seeing in anime. This show has such a unique way of reflecting emotions, I love it. Especially in the case of Misato. What was Adam anyway? |

It's funny (for me, it was more embarrassing) and tells/confirms interesting things at the same time. Very good scene. @karineyn It was said earlier in the series I think. @karineyn All my excuses then. ^^ |

| Great episode. Was going to give this anime an 10/10 in the first 6 episodes, then it dropped to either a 7 or an 8/10 in the 9-14 episode. This episode has bought it up to a 9. Let's hope it stays consistently good this time. |
  |
| @Pixel_Vapour I sense a 6~7/10 incoming. XD === @Pixel_Vapour Since the manga ends with a modified take on the movie, you should watch The End of Evangelion first. I'm sure you'll enjoy the manga a lot more, it features improved drawings (since everything is drawn by the charadesigner himself and a way more "in-the-face" approach. (in other words, it removes the creator's intent and focuses on the plot) WARNING: the last manga chapter is something not linked to Evangelion TV or manga, but a bonus to read between the 2nd and 3rd Shin Evangelion movies to add a bit of infos (who were only suggested in the 2nd Shin movie). In othernwords, it is a spoiler if you haven't yet watched the first 2 parts of the new continuity. Have a good time ! ==== @PriestSlayer In a sense, she is disgusted (that Shinji never participated actively after she gave him "a chance"), I think. edit @PriestSlayer Something like... a love confession or a teenagers date between a "hedgehog" and a terribly insecure girl? They would need some serious fixes on themselves before, I suppose. ===== @CatSoul Wasn't she disgusted mainly because of Shinji's "passiveness"? Folr your last comment, "congratulations". ====== @RarePepes May I ask you wich romantic story you're mentioning? (I love reading your episodic reactions, thanks a lot for coming back here when I fought you had given up this show. I can't wait for your take on the ep.25-26 ) ===== April 30, 2019 @Kajo_Senpai69 Sucking his air for laugh? Amusing interprétation. Never imagined it that way. ^^ |
Rei_IIIApr 29, 2019 3:09 PM
| @Rei366 I hope not. I've been really enjoying this series. Once I've finished this I'll start reading the manga. |
|
| Great episode! So Kaji is a spy. I didn't know that. But it seems other people know but are letting it slide since he's a friend. Misato has a bit of a breakdown too. So Shinji's mother is dead. I kinda guessed that. No photos of her and Ikari still remembersome her. Shinji apparently does not. I'm guessing she died in the Second Impact. Didn't expect Asuka to casually just kiss Shinji. I though she was gonna pull other the last second but nope! Lol at Shinji who was holding his breath the whole time. Got another laugh when Asuka went to wash her mouth. HHHHNNNNGGGG! Rei blushing is so damn cute! Also what is she doing? She seems to be doing something we don't really know. In the previous episode she was holding that Lance in Unit 00 and we find it being pinned on "the first human" ADAM, the first Angel. Some sort of special weapon? Man-made or of angel origin? Rei was also put in some tube attached to some giant machine. I wonder why. Hmm. This is some real interesting stuff. What could they be doing? Experiments? No action in this episode but damn were my eyes glued to the screen. I want to find out more. Onto the next episode. |
| That was a kawaii blush from Rei :3 Kaji bad guy aka opposing force confirmed?? I hope Katsuragi doesnt get a change of heart |
| Well, Asuka really did kill a lot of time with that kiss...poor Shinji couldn't even breath. Then she tried to act disgusted, lol plz. |

| @Rei366 I was hoping something would happen later on, but as I'm progressing through the episodes, that's looking increasingly unlikely. A shame... |
FragOutFire said: Why am I a Berserk fan? All I ever experience is pain. We are in the eclipse and Miura has sacrificed us |
| Very interesting plot development with Kaji being some sort of spy... I wonder if he still has feelings for Misato since he was broken up with. Seems like everyone has issues with their parents in this show haha, makes me wonder about the creator of the series Everyone's talking about the bored kiss scene, hahaha, makes me definitely appreciate being older and out of that awkward stage of development Seeing Adam at the end was interesting as well! I definitely agree with a comment on the fist page: that must be the reason all of these angels are targeting the N.E.R.V headquarters!! This show finally feel like it's starting to take more of a direction, the plot has felt rather weak thus far |
 |
| Everybody in this show is screwed up in the head, I love it. This was a great episode overall, some great character developement. The scene with Asuka and Shinji was very funny, especially how she ran off immediately after to wash her mouth. Pen Pen did not give a fuck. I bet that penguin has seen some weird shit. |
| Lol dat kiss, but more surprising than that is the fact that Kaji is spying Nerv and they kept Adam as a "hostage". |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
Cero said: Wonder what else they'll do while being bored ;-; i like the way you think |
| Best kiss with best girl ever. |
| That Adam angel creeps the hell outta me |
