Episode 5: knew 5 minutes in that I was going to like the way this show continues to play with time. It's not trying to obfuscate things for mere delay (at 22 minute it can't afford to,) but tell a dramatic story that way. Also, good god do they actually GET cliffhangers!

Episode 6: I almost don't know what to do with the moments of hope... but neither do they.

Also for those who want to build action sequences, take lessons on how they set objectives, turn the screws, have things go worse, and ratchet up the drama.

Episode 7: obviously more sleight than the freight trains that came before, but just as critical I'm assuming for set-up. And in the end, an important lesson: "that's what families do"... not like I would know.

Episode 8: The sense of scale in this show continues to impress, largely cuz it's constantly trying to think about how to use that scale creatively. Seeing the EVA hop on top of battleships is precisely that sort of fun so many others dont think of. Also, my god, the horniness.

Well, just had to block someone for spoiling basically everything. I've talked about this in the Avatar thread, but I don't know what it is specifically with certain kinds of anime fans. They can't talk about the present moment without talking how its connected to the future.

Fandom attracts a lot of people with behavioral issues and encourages them to keep behaving cruelly. It’s one of the reasons I left. I’m sorry someone felt entitled to be an asshole.

The didn't do it on purpose! I said to someone else. They just have no idea how to talk about story without just saying all the things that are really going on. It's this specific left-brained fandom thing.

Ah. The subconscious behavioral stuff. That’s another annoying factor.
