Man Poor Shinji. It seems like every time he tries to reach out to someone he get's slapped in the face, both literally and metaphorically. At least we get to see a more positive side of Gendo too this episode. Leading from the front and all.

Also very nice to see everyone working together to defeat the giant spider thingy. I really don't mind these past couple of episodes with their Monster of the week slice of life vibe. It's nice.

Appreciate the way they were able to manually ready and launch the EVAs while having them manually crawl out towards the target - good thing they had tunnels big enough for them to crawl through with batteries attached. Shinji needs to wake up and stop trying to admire his father. He was given the impression that he had faith in the children, and while it was admirable that he physically took lead in the manual launch, I'm pretty sure it was for his own cause. That coupled with the fact there was pretty much no other logical course of action to take.

Rei says she knows if she got special treatment. Girl, while you obviously don't get special treatment in the expected sense - stuck with the prototype unit, sidelined a lot of the time, almost forced to pilot Unit 01 initially while half dead; you are completely oblivious to the special treatment you DO get......just ask Shinji :P

I want to appreciate the moments when Asuka actually comes up with solid combat tactics and even puts herself in front for the others......but her attitude out of combat is irritating as fuck. Dying fot attention from everyone and is actually the one who truely looks down on others most of the time.

While long overdue and needed to avoid travel silence, it felt just a touch out of place for Shinji to be asking about the angels. He's said nothing about them (or the underarmour appearance of his EVA) at all and we haven't even had an internal monologue of him thinking about what the angels are or why they attack, so while needed, it also gave vibes of being shoe-horned in as an "oh shit, we forgot about this plot point!".

Also, they decided the blackout was intentional human sabotage, but then just......left it at the end? Not even a final scene with Gendou figuring out who it was :/

I wonder if they launched all 3 Evas just to flex on whoever turned the power off. It's great to see them all fuck up the spider tho.

It looks like their relationship is getting better ,Asuka still attacks everyone but at least she can talk with Shinji in normal way sometimes.I dont think Rei cares that much of what Azuka saying to her but its says that Rei is favorite even though she was threated the worst they litreally plan to put her in Eva 01 half dead if Shinji didint agree.

Are they gonna explain who attack sabotage them?

God this was a funny episode, the EVAs just crawling out of the vent just to deal with the angel, Asuka not wanting to admit that she’s lost and the best moment by far:

Commander Fuyutsuki: It’s Hot.

Gendo Ikari: Yes.

XD!

It’s probably the best episode and honestly I’m not seeing what’s supposed to be bad about Evangelion cuz so far it’s just been great so far, otherwise it’s great to see the main three working together to take on the angel in particular plus we even got to see how their dynamic as a group works, I’ll say it’s certainly developing as a whole for me. Plus Shinji’s pretty much questioning why the Angels are attacking in the first place which honestly is something I’m surprised they haven’t covered it up to this point. Otherwise awesome episode I must say, really awesome episode.

i like that, ever since asuka arrived, the anime has become happier. Even rei is getting along with them. But this all just feels like the silence before the storm.

11 was great!! Shinji, Rei and Asuka working together was awesome and seeing Nerv in a weakened state was really interesting. It was cool to see Commander Ikaris faith in them

great episode, i liked a lot the chemistry that it's slowly forming between rei asuka and shinji, i also quite liked the scene where gendo helps with the evas' entry plugs with his own hands, it shows a lot about him.
shinji begins asking questions about the angels, and their reasons.
the scene with Fuyutsuki and gendo was really funny. ''it's lukewarm'' ''Yeah''

A pretty great episode, while not too deep, it’s funny and actually shows the trio all in the same room, which so far doesn’t happen much
- The entire base having no power for an episode is interesting. I wonder who did it? Kaji?
- Matareal was one of the coolest looking angels so far, and yet it went down so easy!! Not to say that the children’s plans were boring, but on paper, it just died to gunfire

Good episode, we've finally seen Shinji, Rei & Asuka all togethers (:

I can't trust Kaji tho, he's a bit suspicious

I really liked that they operated the entire Nerv base without electricity, showing that they have triple back up plans. And seeing all 3 EVA’s in action at the same time, plus Mommy Misato in an elevator and SHINJI CRANK SOULJA BOY

Cute how Asuka always tries to be a leader but she lacks many real-world skills besides her confidence and will to power.

É um anime que possui uma história incrivelmente introspectiva, te faz refletir sobre os que estão ao seu redor e sobre você mesmo, recomendo.

This episode was alright. It's been a while since I saw Evangelion episode 10, so I had to brush up on some summaries and such to make my way back into episode 11 here.

It was interesting to see what they would do with something like a blackout. Unfortunately a majority of the episode seemed to be Asuka being an unlikable entitled, well, "brat" - as per usual. I quickly got tired of seeing Shinji sparking interesting conversation or trying to bring up something important or reasonable, only for Asuka to empty-headedly say "Jeez Shinji stop worrying about the TINY stuff, be a MAN!" Seriously, why is she such a popular character? Evangelion doesn't exactly feel like a series that you watch "for the lulz" or "just as some casual watch" and in order to even GET to Asuka's introduction you had to make it through like 7 episodes first, which are all a totally different tone... for anyone who thinks Asuka is a good addition to the series, how on earth did you make it far enough to even see her get introduced?

Man, I miss the pre-Asuka vibe of this series. Slice of life, somewhat dark, some action but always with this weird underlying "philosophical" tone... but now with Asuka, a lot of that has gone away in favor of her quirky distracting arrogance and over-the-top anime girl personality.

At the very least, Asuka managed to prove some of her good points near the end. I honestly hope she can grow and eventually show more positive sides of herself more often.

If it weren't 10pm I'd watch another episode right now. Alas.
