| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Man, I love berserker mode. I thought shinji might actually die there, he had the "life flash before his eyes" hell, he saw his mother's ghost. lol. |
 |
| i am starting to wonder what the hell was up with he seeing her mother... it kind of gives me that foreshadow that eva is linked to shinji's mother somehow... other than that, berseker mode Eva 01 = awesomeness and Rei interrupting Asuka when she was bad mouthing shinji was cute never expected katsuragi to cry though. |
     |
| Berserker mode saves the day again. I'm very curious about Eva's secrets. They're based on first Angels, but what exactly are they? Machines that have subconsiousness(sp?) Hmm... |

| Very good episode, Eva is getting a little scary. Interested in finding out what Nerv is hiding. =o |
| I'm figuring the evas hold some sort of imprint of whoever pilots them. Shinji saw his mother here, and that made it go into berserker mode. Before, when Shinji was in Reis eva, it also went into berserker mode when he saw her. Really wanting to see why this is happening like that. |
| Go berserker mode!!!!!!!!!!!! This one kinda gave me the idea that shinjis mother and unit 01 are linked... weird... |
| Wow... Fantastic episode. I'm loving this Anime. |

| ...and so the mindfuck begins. I'm SO glad that I haven't read anything about the series besides recommendations and reviews and am still oblivious to what Eva(s?) are. Can't wait for the revelation (cause knowing Gainax, it'll be wtf-inducting.) |

| Hmm.... and now I wonder what Nerv's secrets are... and why Shinji and Rei would hate them if they knew. Interesting episode, to say the least. |
| HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS, this was one of the best episodes in some time, man that "birth" crap was frightening, when EVA was busting outta that shit... it gave me the chills. This anime is starting to mess with ma head. Aww I hope those bastards aren't evil planning and messing too much with my Rei, she was so cute this episode, Rei > Asuka |

Hardcore mindfuck shit for real. |
 |
| Good to see Rei stand up for Shinji. It would have been better though if she had bitch slapped Asuka right across the face! I'm liking this more and more as it goes. |

Lycaros cruh mae jessah mae fes qur saga  |
| That was a great episode, I wonder if they will keep that bloody scene for the rebuild. |
| I think it's pretty easy to imagine what it is about the Evas the people in the know don't want the others to know, as if this episode didn't make it pretty obvious. |
| SECRETS! SECRETS. SECRETS. can not stop watching. |
 |
| Wow that was an amazing episode! I want to watch the next episode, but it's 4:40 am and I'm exhausted. Oh well, there's always tomorrow! Why will Rei and Shinji be upset if they find out the Truth of the evas? I'm finally getting what I came into this series looking for, a "mindfuck".XD |
 |
| Awsome episode, Eva in berserk mode is just great! I loved the conversation of Shinji with himself, it was really interesting~ More and more character development~ I wonder if Eva has something to do with Shinji's mother though~ |
 |
| LOOOOOOL WHAT THE FUCK MAN OH MEN I MEAN LIKE DID YOU JUST SEE THAT LOOOL WHAT THE FUCK FUCK MEN. SHINJI'S ROBOT WAS LIKE FUCK YOU MEN YOU CAN'T DETAIN ME IN HERE I'M GOING TO PWN YOU FAGGOT. LOOOL FUCK SON DAMN SHEEESH BERSERK MODE MAN SHIT. Sorry I had to say that. But seriously though, what the fuck is an Evangelion? A mix of Angel and a human? Two possibilities came up in my mind when Shinji saw her mother in his "dreams". First, that it was just the moment when he was about to die and he sees his whole life right infront of him. Second is that his mother is part of his Evangelion and only comes out when Shinji becomes unconcious. Just like what happened to his first battle and in this one. Well that's just my hypothesis. Commander Ikari and that yellow-haired scientist's conversion really bugged me though. "If Rei, Asuka, and Misato knew about this, they'll be surely mad." Just what was the meaning of that? |
| I loved the physiological bits. A lot of my theories are falling into place. That the Evas are some kind of human angel hybrid. Asuka and her Unit Two being related to her mother. Shinji and his Unit One being related to his own mother. Rei being injected with Angel cels. The fact that they said "Rei and Shinji can't know the truth" implies that Asuka already knows. Meaning back when she muttered "Mother..." it was some epic foreshadowing. REALLY interested to see what exactly they meant by Shinji's fathering killing his mother, and Shinji lying about it. Next episode, When Penguins cry. |
| Wow, that was a weird episode. o_o |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |

 |
| This is Pure MIND-RAPE. Shinji's talking to himself was Epic. It really explains the reality of life. Psychological truth. This anime is truly a bumpy roller coaster ride thats unlike any anime till now. |

| I'm not gonna say that Shinji's father may have killed his wife to create Eva01 because it seems like too much of an possibility at this point. I love the part when Rei scolded Asuka. Katsuragi's bitchslap was epic too. The scientists may be afrait of Eva01 going berserk mode but I think that this is the best part of the Evas - it gives them more personality than anything else and actually the day is saved because of it once again. |
  |
| Character "battling himself" is nothing new, don't get too excited folks! EVA running berserk AFTER ITS POWER RUNS OUT... It's a little... SHOUNEN-ISH isn't it NGE fans, eh? "Hahahahaha haha! You have no power left! Haha! ..... OMGWAT!?!?!?! NOW HE'S A SUPER SAIYAN!" :P |
| That was a lot bloodier than I remember it... |
| "Ah yes, the demon drink...'Nature's Alzheimer's' they call it" |
| That. Was. Epic! You have got to love those berserk moments where the come out of nowhere and save the protagonist. It works so well with Mech-anime, too. It's godly-like. ( ^ _ ^ )b That came out of nowhere with Rei, though. Didn't expect her to rebuttal to Asuka and her ignorance. I like both of them, but, Rei is just so much cooler. Looking forward to the next! |
| 1.) Amazing episode... 2.) Asuka clearly likes Shinji but just can't bring herself to admit it...the bored kiss...the fact that she's right there with Misato in this episode when Misato opens Shinji's entry plug...that she's at Shinji's hospital room...and when Shinji got sucked into the angel I would say Asuka was in full freakout mode, not just for her own safety but she clearly was worried about Shinji... 3.) Secrets, secrets are no fun...Misato is learning this the hard way... 4.) I'm rewatching this...and this episode never gets old...EVA 01 is scary when it goes berserk... 5.) Rei seems to have the inside track on everyone doesn't she? |
| also...for first time viewers...I will say that the next 10 episodes are very heavy...I would recommend marathoning them for full effect... |
| Holy shit, shit's starting to get real now. Great episode. |
 |
| Starting to get addicted now. I'll say it again: What the fuck am I watching |
| EVA unit 01 pulls quite a bloody Kool Aid man maneuver here. This is perhaps one of my favorite episodes where shogoki goes berserk and just utterly defeats an angel. |
| Figure gallery: http://photobucket.com/omassfigs |
| Great episode that angel was quite some weird thing, really great ending lots of blood or what ever it was, those girls might have found out something horrible! Lets see what's next! |
 |
| Great episode. I'm waiting for Asuka to act kind to Shinji and show her feelings. |
 |
| Poor Shinji :/ |
| Wow this was crazy episode. Thoughts from Episode 16 First everybody having good time. And Misato seems now dating Kaji. LoL that phone message typical Kaji :DD That new Angel which they couldn't identify yet which weapon is to create imaginary space "Sea Of Dirak" it really was mind blowing. Shinji almost cracked his own mind if his mother wouldn't been there. Luckily his alright. This is really nightmare form seeing own memories and talking with ownself good stuff in psychological form. I guess Shinji's mother is direct link for EVA's and ADAM. At least now Asuka Ritsuko and everyobody at NERV saw how dangerous EVA's can be when they enter that Bersek Mode. That blood and Unit 01 was shouting like in pain like it has a soul. Oh man this show is getting good. I am still amazed how did Shinji managed to get out from that imaginary space. Did his mother save him or was it something else. That berserk mode reminded me of another anime called Monster same kind of stuff happened to another character also. Also Asuka badmouthing Shinji was not nice Rei sure seemed angry. Asuka however likes Shinji that can't be denied anymore. Let's see what is coming next... |
