well hooray. thank fk for my old dvd rips i guess.

is it in the rebuild?? i have such a clear memory of it either being in the original show or death+rebirth. ugh, i hate misremembering.

also, isn’t it funny how it was written as an overt romantic relationship in the rebuild movies but ohh no there is NOTHING queer about it.

no, it was written as platonic love for shinji and mankind. 'like' does NOT suffice.

i dearly hope the communities these families live in will do their civic duty and help hiding them and delaying the authorities. what america needs more than anything right now is solidarity, compassion and direct action.

just UGGGHHHHHHHHH

i’ve learned to buy physical copies of media i want to remain the same. eva has been a tad hard to get hold of, though, haha.

yes. there are many forms of love, but like is not one of them. whatever form of love kaworu has for shinji, it IS love.

i heartily agree. it’s a betrayal to the show to remove it. i mean, take End of evangelion.

yeah same.

idk. gay underage panic? they have no trouble keeping in the straight underage romance/sexuality though. shrugemoji

haven’t gotten that far in the new sub yet i’m afraid. bingeing tonight as well.

although one can debate the gayness of it all since kaworu is a christ like figure and the love he feels for shinji and mankind may be platonic. just, you know, changing room, nude platonic. they do kiss in the manga though (mouth to mouth trope), and are both terribly flustered. it’s a bit all over the place.

less. and yes, it was intentional. it's even more overt in the rebuilds so i have a hard time thinking it's khara behind this.

yup. different version in every ep, but the same song. it was a brilliant touch and it is missed.

i didn't realize how much i'd miss fly me to the moon until i heard that piano theme and things just feel completely off. it really was the perfect breather.

they strip the love text (won’t even bother to call it subtext, it’s overt) out of their relationship completely. it’s a clusterfuck.

LOUD NOISES!

i just wished it premiered tomorrow, on the actual swedish midsummer’s eve.

time progressing in real time feels like a core feature for animal crossing and i think i’d be sad to see that go. but the possibility to ignore it was nice too. so yeah, both. both would be good.
