Thoughts on Eva 2.22

Haha wow that English is way too clear and even. Is that what I sound like when I speak Japanese? Also wow Kaji’s (&later Mari’s) seiyuu are obviously doing this phoenetically.

(Also wtf with how Mari specifies Japanese interface and then all the stuff comes up in English?)

They’re really big on tilt-wing VTOLs this series of movies. I guess the Osprey might be a bigger thing for Japan, still kinda being part of the USMC branch of the American imperium.

Hands again. Oooooohhhh, stigmata, I get it.

Shit, did Kaji just make a Wild Zero reference?

I guess this movie has all the lighthearted, slice-of-life, Pen-Pen, fanservice bits the first one lacked (is Mari the… fun parts of Asuka?) and

Wait. Okay, the 9th angel is the first time you didn’t know what’s going to happen and in retrospect they were kind of being light for a while so they could set you up for this sucker-punch

And holy shit, the 10th angel fight as a mashup of Mari doing Asuka’s EoE Mass Production fight, Rei2’s sacrifice, and the 3rd Impact female-form that’s interest…

Wait whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

FUCK.

(shit though they aren’t going to dance like they want to win, are they)
