| People keep saying shinji is a pussy for leaving nerv im gonna have to back shinji here after what happened in episode 18 i was pissed off at commander ikari too! I would have acted similar to shinji and im much older then him, i kept wanting him to tell his father to F off big time every time they met. Of course you want to help people by fighting off the angels but no way would i want to be apart of an organization ran by shinji's dad just evil to take control of unit-1 and force your son to demolish one of his only friends and not to mention what ever is going on with adam and the evas that all seem sketchy |
| NERV is worthless without Shinji. They better start treating better now. He just saved everyone. They're lucky he's a compassionate person, unlike that bastard father. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| that was intense. kaji water the plants XD |
"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." |
| ....What the fuck?? Lol HydraA said: That shit was scary man. I second this |
| Love and Peace!!! |
| Could Eva mean Eve considering how the Angel is Adam. Eve eating Adam alive, pretty hardcore. My Rei has to survive. Asuka on the other hand hasn't really shined and her arrogant attitude and overconfidence is probably a reason why. So it looks like Commander Ikari has been behind all this mess since he said "It's finally begun" |
 |
| Even more mind boggling than the last episode. The typical falling out was well done but it's always fascinating to see Shinji fall into insanity and desperation. The Eva going cannibal on that angel and regenerating was absolutely nuts. Those primal and animal like movements took it from looking like a functioning machine to a living beast. Looks like a big revelation is on the horizon, what is Shinji's father planning? |

| Agora a poha ficou séria O.O |

| That was a fantastic episode! I literally had chills while watching this. When Shinji was attacking the angel in the Eva I could feel all his emotion, it's like I was inside the anime itself. Next episode might be even more chilling! |
 |
| Holly fcking shit, this episode was incredible. Finally Eva awakens. |
| THIS EPISODE. I completely loved this episode. Shinji's determination to never pilot an Eva again and yet by a cruel twist of fate is the only one who can save humanity. Finally, the being dormant in the Eva asserts itself and has "awakened". Interesting episodes coming up Im feeling! Also, Rei better not be dead. |
| I saw this happening from episode 1 & 2 tbh. We saw the Eva's true form when the head armor was knocked off and shinji looked into it's eye. What a brutal episode If the pain receptors are linked when they lose limbs, doesn't that mean Asuka should be dead or turned into a vegetable since her Eva lost it's head? |
 |
| Probably one of my favorite episodes of Evangelion. I should've gotten into this earlier. |
| Psychologically crazy. I can see this psychological part of the plot progressing, NEXT EPS HERE I COME! |

Things fell into place way too easily this episode, angel showing up as Shinji is about to leave, Asuka/Rei getting stomped, Nerv HQ getting stormed that quickly, all to awaken that beast. Too convenient for my liking. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| I'm surprised Kaji wasn't killed for his "moonlighting". My god this episode was intense. I still think the last episode was better but damn I didn't know that vision Shinji had of the Eva having green eyes was real. Some scary shit. |

 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| Kaji is one cool motherfucker. He's just chilling by his garden and watering his watermelons while everyone panics and scrams for their lives as an Angel comes and wrecks havoc. |
| Just as I thought last episode was the best of the season we get this amazing episode. |
  |
| It just keeps better and better. The theory about Eva unit 01 is somehow connected to Shinji's mother seems right. In the first episode of the series, unit 01 saved Shinji although its cockpit was empty. Now unit 01 accepts no one except Shinji. She is finally awakened. |
| my god... watching this episode for the second time really makes me realize how fucking terrifying evas are. |
|
| Kaji is coolest gardener i have seen. |

Exactly, same with the thoughts of his mother at the final scene when he was inside the alternate universe of "Seliel" ... the 12th Angel - breaking free after it. His mother is definitely connected in some way to Unit 01. Suprised how easily Shinji came back after saying he wouldnt pilot again (for the second time) I have to say, I really really enjoyed the "beast mode" scene where Unit 01 awakens and just consumes the Angel. |
 |
| That was a fantastic episode. Best one yet. |
| Nom Nom Nom. Ep 19. Delicious and funny. Plot: SHinji is understandably PO'd after what happened with Toji. So he's fired. But then a wild Angel appears (friggin convenient. Like they were watching thinking: the AngelSlayer is gone! Bumrush the humans!) and then it all went crazy! CHaracter: THis ep was primary a SHinji one but consequences for the other pilots are felt. Many have criticized Shinji's actions and labeled them as whiny" or "Daddy issues" but that is just the outsider looking in perspective and while his anger is understandable, remember that anger makes people do crazy things. Plus if you had to work under the jerk that could hijack your ride and make it kill your friends with no remorse, and you're told to just suck it up...just think about that. But Shinji does return. It may have taken a talking to but really that's something that's needed for some. Just going back while angry/confused is not possible for some. THey need that extra encouragement. Asuka suffered the worf effect and after what happened with Toji, this is not good for her psyche. Especially the way Zeruel just walked past her after...disarming her. SNirk. Rei shows suicidal tendencies with her words of being replaced. PS: I just had a laugh at some scenes. Like Shinji being all deadpan and "I'm out, bit$#hes. Peace." And then the Angel shows up: "Shoo its fine. Asuka's awesome. She'll kick its butt." Unit 2 disarmed: "Awww, s$%t." 5/5. This was radical and a plot swerve on what goes next. What it means for Shinji and the rest remains to be seen. PS: the Eva's true enemy: D batteries. PSS: The Eva's awakening was terrifying. Just look at the way it moved. The way it blinked after eating. That was prime-time animation. |
 I go where I wanna go, even if its into Oppai. |
| "That's not armor. Those are bindings to restrict the Eva's true power." Hohohoho. So much awesome. I love how they animated the awakened Eva's movements. It's the little details that really make it hit home that Eva's aren't machines. They're beasts. Living creatures bound and used for human purposes. And way to go Kaji. Always talking about melons. |
| Ummmm.... I guess Shinji is somehow still cooperating with Eva? |
| Such junk... |
| omg, this was so radically exceptional. Just WOW. I feel sorry for the Evas now O__O |
 |
| Omgggggggggg |
 |
| Holy shit, that sure was something. Shinji has gone through major development, I wonder what his state is now. As I've observed previously, Unit 01 is very animalistic in nature. It's even more apparent now. |
| Ooh Shinji is so confident and adamant. "Running away again?" "Yes fuck you." He didn't mope and had to think hard. He was set on his decision. It was unfortunate that he still chose to flee from challenges however, but of course fate brought him back. Rei said "If i die, I can be replaced". Still ever lacking the sense of self :( But, she was willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of everyone else. What is her true role in all of this? Just what is she? Finally, the show reveals the true nature of the Evas. Not only are they self-aware (as has been hinted since the second episode), but they were actually bound by those suits in order to be utilized by humans. Interesting how it only accepted Shinji and rejected Rei. The vision that Shinji saw of his mother is no coincidence. She is somehow related to his Eva. All of the instances of his Eva going berserk were all instances of the creature temporarily regaining its autonomy, and each time it correlates with Shinji's ultimate desperation for survival. The Evas are the salvation of humanity, but are the pilots in turn the salvation of the Evas since they are the catalyst for unlocking the Evas' abilities (and possibly true power). The Angel's fights with each pilot were incredibly suspenseful. Desperation, weakness, hopelessness, on the verge of death. The severing of Unit 02's arms and head, Unit 00's suicide attack, Unit 01's near defeat. |

| Amazing episode, best one of the series so far. Shinji really manned up this episode, I actually thought he might leave for a second there, glad he didn't. I also found it pretty ironic how is father was scolding him for running away lol.. But now the Eva has turned into some psychotic monster. I knew it was alive, but I wasn't expecting anything like this. I wonder what's gonna happen now? How will they deal with this thing? And what's gonna happen to Shinji? I mean, hes still inside that crazy thing @_@. |
 |
| Never going to pilot the Eva again,lol that didn't last long. Liked that Shinji manned up though. Unit 01 going berserk again and eating Zeruel's S² Engine and releasing it's bindings. |
| (rewatching again) AH ha hahahahhahahah ahahah ahahaha and you thought the last episode was intense! This episode is awesome! 10/5 it broke the rating system. This is THE episode I most look forward to when watching this anime. It brings out what has been hinted at since the beginning... "WTF IS EVA?!", that's no robot... and does it in a way that... just wow. Eva01's arm gets blown off and Gendou is just standing there, calm as always. Asuka nearly died there, had they not cut the connection... plus both arms cut off Unit02. I figured I'd see a lot of "WTF"s and "OMG"s in this thread. Can't blame anyone. It's a perfectly reasonable reaction to the episode. |
  |
| Just rewatched this. That scene of Eva 01 going primal...holy mother. They perfectly captured the mannerisms of a carnivorous predator guarding its prey. I especially love the part where she's chewing and you can see her real eyes. Meanwhile, Kaji's watering his fucking plants. |
| Yesssssss, that's more fucking like it. First time since the first 3 episodes that I've been 100% into what's going on. Such a good episode. How are they going to get Shinji out of the Eva and back in ? |
 |
| Even though it was predictable that the Eva will awaken , this episode was intense . Great Episode . |
| finally it was about time for a full berserker |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| I'm in love with this show because of the emotions the protagonist portrays. He has internal conflict and is always thinking, "Am I doing the right thing?" Shinji is basically the polar opposite of Eren (SNK) who jumps into battle without regret and doesn't care who his enemy is. |
| One of the most intense episodes I have ever seen so far o_O. Im wondering how they gonna top that in terms of violence and gore lol. I hope that Rei and Asuka are doing well. Brilliant episode. |

| Damn... this episode and episode 18. Evangelion is so intense. Poor Shinji. He pilots to please everybody else; making others proud of him is his motivation. He's scared of piloting because he's hurt his friends that way, but he's more frightened of being a disappointment by not using unit 1. I'm ready to delve into the other screwed up backstories. I'll never forget when Shinji's Eva goes berserk and starts eating the angel. One of the most horrific and shocking things I've seen in an anime. |
