| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Don't know why but I really enjoyed this episode and I like that Megumi girl, Haruka's sister. Meanwhile, it seems as Quon has an odd relationship with her brother or maybe i'm just imagining it. Also, the scene where Ayato welcomed Haruka back home was obviously a homage to episode 2 of Evangelion. |

| Development episode, another girl is introduced and it looks like she's interesting dispite her difficult attitude. Needs more Reika >_< |
 |
| I like Megumi. |
| Call me uncle Not only did he quote me without referencing me, but he is also a pedophile. |

Just saying.I wonder when this anime is NOT gonna be like Evangelion. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Um...why did he need to unzip the back of Quon's dress just to brush her hair? And why is he wearing a woman's house robe? What the hell is going on in that house? Sent with Mal Updater |

| Yeah . . . Is Quon really his younger sister? That was kind of . . . Anyways, still think that Ayato should have dipped out of there, I feel like he is still in a bed of snakes, even if it does seem warm and friendly. |

| I'm really liking this anime very much so far. The slow pacing, the nice soundtrack fits it perfectly. Another well made character is introduced in this episode. It seems Ayato has quite the luck with the ladies XD The comedic scenes are well blended with the serious moments. Also, Quon's supposedly older brother is kind of a crossdresser? It also seems he has a sister complex. O_o And for people complaining this to be a clone of Eva, you might as well say Eva is similar to Gunbuster because both have a lot of themes in common. A great episode. Full of character development and a lovely little quote at the end. 4.5/5 |

I don't see any motivation behind his actions at all. Why he fought D1 in the previous episode? And why he returned back to the base after they treated him as crap? Why he didn't try to get back to his home? And now he is being seduced into staying... ok now I see it - the same as in Evangelion, the protagonist just follows the girls in hopes of getting laid. |
| Finally I see a ship approaching that I want to board. MegumiXKamina. I really liked this episode. |
| Hey What do you know RahXephon ain't as annoying if the mecha shit didn't exist. Ayato's been nothing but a little shit since ep1, but his "fuck you/fuck it" attitude lately is what makes him less annoying. He gets straight to it. "You don't like it? Then fuck it, I'm outta here." But this romance thing just isn't working out. This garbage should be listed as harem instead. |
| Re-watching: This episode had an undeniable warmth to it. |
| The cinematography and some of the writing make for cute romance scenes but it really hobbled by the fact that Megumi was just introduced in this same episode. Hayato and she carry on like they've had crushes on each other for years. Strangely and badly done. |
| Blue blood, blue Sakuras, so did the guy have/had enough dead Mulian bodies to do that? It's like they split Misato into to two; Haruka and Elvy. At this point I had suspicions that Quon was adopted. She talks like Reika does but even odder. Megumi interacting with Ayato and experiencing a temporal culture shock was fun. (I'm sure they had Ramune back then lol). |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| even though people say this is a NGE copy(which it is) I still enjoy it, especially considering Ayato is a bit more assertive than Shinji in particular when it comes to girls |
 |
| Nice episode!! I love how it slowly transition to a more relaxing episode. So the Red Hair Girl's last name is Quon? What a lovely name :) Even got a new girl as well. Sayoko O__O Also, didn't expect Megumi's sister to be Haruka. It's even surprising how similar this is to NGE really. Especially Shinji living with Misato for now. Also, Haruka and Elvy seems to be best buddies despite having some tantrum in the early episodes. Lots of drama, not surprised that Ayato was angry at Haruka for lying to him. But at least they have made up. In Shinji's case. It would probably take 2-3 episodes before she forgives Misato XD On to the next one! |
| More characters being introduced...everything in this feels so dead |
| Cliched until it isn't. Couple of things that must be said. I DO NOT like shounen romance, so I loathe all the romantic development. But so far, we've seen Ayato blushed to at least 4 different girls and women so I wouldn't be surprised if the show is trying to make some sort of point akin to Evangelion in this regard. It's sort of like the romance is deliberately shit to then subvert the expectations, which I think is kinda cheap but eh, to each their own. Also Quon fan service was weird as fuck, until that ending. Even if I knew it as soon as I saw the suspiciously chaste dude in his robe, that was still pretty wild. The hilarious incest implications (better when you strung the simple but surprisingly effective events) and that ominous final line were honestly kinda top tier. But yeah, pretty average show in general that pulled me in because of these small moments of "oh shit". |
