| LOL dat kiss. Asuka, you are such a gigantic bitch and yet I still love you. Adam... uh, talk about nightmares. Also lol I also thought that 2 second scene in the dark alleyway was Misato/Kaji having sex. |
| Relations and woman logic all summed up quite nicely, not an all to bad episode, was quite funny actually the kiss because of boredom... No action though but they sure ended up with a good starting point for next episode! Lets see what's next! |
 |
| This anime just keep getting deep in my head... |
 |
| kiss scene. automatic 5/5 |
 |
| Great development. "Adam" is making more sense now as you get to see what he(?) actually is. |
| WTF the kiss was so very unexpected. And that penguin became hilarious once again! |
 |
| Damn! this is really taking now turn. Thoughts from Episode 15 So Commander and Ikari are planning that Human Istrumentality plan and now something called "Mardok Institute" and Kaji is having sidejob which NERV didn't knew about. The wedding was nice change for all EVA action and final reveal place of The First Angel called ADAM was really mysterious. Why Ikari didn't said anything Shinji when they were visiting his mother Yui in graveyard and why there is no body. Where is it?? (plot hole) Why there is no pictures and why Rei blushed when Shinji said that Rei seems like her mother. What Ikari is planning with Rei in that underground facility. Kaji is gentleman and also spy interesting. Best parts: Discovering ADAM, Misato and Kaji's kiss, Shinji and Asuka''s kiss LOL :DD Hope Misato don't do anything to Kaji I like his character overall. Nice music was going on when Ritsuko, Kaji and Misato were drinking in that night club. Misato said same stuff about her revenge for Angels and joining NERV. And lied also to Kaji. Still Kaji wasn't angry and took care of her. That's real gentleman. |

While I cannot explain anything else you mentioned due to spoilers, why did you consider that a plothole (in the bold)? That gravesite is like the equivalent for soldiers that have a cross as their 'tomb', as in, the body was not found. That's a common thing done in reality. For the record, it shouldn't be considered a plothole. A plothole implies you watched the whole series first and then went back to that scene and noticed it wasn't explained. It's like calling a mystery story a huge plothole when you don't finish it. |

 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| I see Thanks for explaining this to me :) |
|
| Really cool episode, lots of development. |
| Lol, probably one of the most memorable kiss scenes in anime ever. Damn, another anime should have something like this. Especially with this kind of passive main character and aggressive female character. I can't help laughing when Shinji turned from normal to red to blue though, LOL |
| I loved this episode even though there wasn't any action! Asuka kissing Shinji for so long and saying she didn't like it was hilarious! I loved Kaji and Misato together. Finding out what Adam was = awesome! |
 |
| Ahh my favorite episode of the series despite the lack of action. Asuka really got punched in the gut two times this episode, first by Shinji and then Kaji. Damn you Shinji!!!! I'll never forgive you for that kiss with Asuka man, never! At least hold the girl who just made herself vulnerable for your coward ass! |
| "Relying on someone, helping each other out, and supporting each other. Most would say that's the right thing to do. However, that's just idealistic. In reality, someone always gets the short end of the stick" http://p1.i.ntere.st/3b9596c6911c1c6844478fe7ace4e887_480.jpg |
| Def one of my fav eps so far. Lots of character development. Best part was asukas and shinjis kiss. |
 |
| Well that sure is a way to shut a woman up. As for the ending, holy shit, this is getting pretty deep! Looking forward to learn more about this "Adam". |
 |
| I like Kaji more now, I though he was really suspicious before but it looks like he's helping Misato out, I mean he even let her see Adam. Who was extremely disturbing. |
| This episode really drives home the point that despite his playboy exterior Kaji really cares for Misato as it is obviously tearing him up to see her hurting like that. in fact I would not be surprised if the flirting is Kaji's way of dealing with his own hedgehog's dilemma. Last but not least, Asuka master of the mixed message. |
 |
| I feel really bad for Misato. She has a lot of internal conflicts and it just proves that things don't magically get better when you grow up unless you resolve them. It made me tear up to here her confessions to Kaji. As for the conversation between Shinji and his dad about the mom... Something isn't right about it. I'm dreading what connection it has with Rei as well. |
 |
| Oh man Adam, this is going to be good. Why would they keep this from her? Too many secrets. I knew something would happen between Shinji and Asuka. Next Asuka will be trying to get him to grab her boobs or something huh. Silly kids. I too wonder what all this relates to Rei. She might be Shinji's dad's favorite but I feel like that comes with a price. I hope she doesn't die :( |
| Adam looks freaky O__O And that kiss between Asuka and Shinji was funny. I was wondering why he was turning blue, then I remembered Asuka was holding his nose lol |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| so are all the other angels trying to retrieve adam or something |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| So the fist Angel is finally shown. Hmm makes me wonder what NERV really is up to. LOL at Asuka's kiss attack. She looked like she was hungry and deicded to taste Shinji's lips. Highlight of that was the Penguin that just looked at them and went into its room as if nothing happened. Penguin: "Oh the kiddos are making out, about time they get to it. I'll leave them alone and go back to watching Attack on Penguin" |
 |
| Great episode. So we find that Nerv is holding Adam (One of the angels) captive, and the angels are most likely after him. Also, more character development! Asuka kissing Shinj because she was bored was hilarious, but I seriously doubt she was bored, I bet she loves him but won't admit it. Why would a girl kiss a boy because she is bored for no reason? She definitely loves him. |
 |
| I like the relationship between Shinji and Asuka lol. They are so funny together. Dat kiss. |
My Candies:     |
| 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. |
