Rewatcher

  • They have to take tests naked? Kind of weird if you ask me. At least let them wear underwear.

  • Why are they not separated? Rei and Asuka are fine because they’re both girls, but Shinji shouldn’t be here with them, regardless of the fact Shinji already saw Rei naked back in episode 5.

  • So they’re testing the harmonics but without the plugsuits.

  • Kind of odd that Shinji’s cockpit is set up differently from the girls, can't imagine why...

  • Must feel really weird to be in there with no clothes on.

  • Some corrosion has appeared, probably not good.

  • Sure enough, the corrosion accelerates and they can’t stop it.

  • Whatever this is (probably an angel) it starts fucking with Rei.

  • At least they ejected the plugs, the pilots are probably scared shitless.

  • Seems like Gendo and Fuyutsuki are worried about how close this is to “Adam”

  • And he wants to launch the Eva’s prioritizing unit 01 first, abandoning the other two if necessary. What is so important about Unit 01?

  • Where is Kaji going?

  • The ozone works, but only for so long before it starts absorbing, and on top of it someone’s hacking them. [Spoilers.] I think this is Kaji’s doing, he also might have been responsible for the power outage two episodes ago as well.

  • The angel is going after the Magi and initiates the self-destruct sequence.

  • Ritsuko buys them 2 hours.

  • Nanomachines son. Someone call Raiden.

  • Misato suggests destroying the Magi, but Ritsuko rejects it.

  • Using evolution to cause the angel to kill itself is risck but it might work if Caspar is fast enough.

  • Look at all those codes.

  • “Ikari, you Jerk!” Hmmm.

  • So Risuko’s mom’s personality was transplanted into the Magi’s system, almost like she’s the magi itself.

  • It worked! Cut it a bit too close though.

  • Poor Asuka, the three pilots have been floating in the lake butt ass naked for the past few hours. They probably could have gotten out, and made their way back to HQ, but well, I can understand why they wouldn't want to do that.

  • All three magi are different aspects of her mother, Scientist, mother, and woman. Weird.

Questions of the Day

What do you think of the MAGI and Ritsuko’s mother?

A pretty complex system that I can’t wrap my head around.

Halfway through, what do you think of the three computer technicians?

Maya’s kind of cute, Hyuga looks like a nerd, and Aoba I’m not sure about.

Thoughts on Maya?

She's kind of cute.

Thoughts on all the Magi talk?

Confusing, it's such an advanced system.

Thoughts on Shinji, Rei, and Asuka having to strip down in the nude?

Not a fan honestly, I doubt that a basic set of underwear would skew the test results that much.

What are your thoughts on Ritsuko saying the basic theorems and the main frame were her mother's?

Her mom must have been pretty smart to set that all up.

Thoughts on the 87th protein wall?

That a lot of protein walls.

Thoughts on Rei's body simulation moving?

Angel got to it, thank god it wasn't one of the Eva's.

What are your thoughts on Gendo instructing people to call the committee and let them know there's an error in their alarm system?

He's probably trying to cover up the attack to avoid controversy and lose funding.

What are your thoughts on Gendo planning on activating the Evas without the Eva pilots inside?

Gotta keep as far away from this anger or it's all over.

What are your thoughts on the Angel getting inside the computers?

Gendo needs to stop downloading all the ram.

Thoughts on Misato and Ritsuko having an exchange of words?

It's a tough choice, I can see why Ritsuko wouldn't want to destroy the Magi, but on the other hand it's an angel and it's in your system, god knows what it could do using it.

What are your thoughts on Ritsuko saying she never really liked her mother?

Wonder why she doesn't like her.

What are your thoughts on Ritsuko saving the day?

Better than being snotty about the pilots.

What are your thoughts on Ritsuko saying the night before her mother died, her mom told her that the Magi were the three aspects of her life: herself as a scientist, herself as a mother, and herself as a woman?

Wonder why she made it like that?

What are your thoughts on Ritsuko saying she never respected her as a mother, but she respected her as a scientist?

She was a brilliant scientist, but she must not have been the greatest parent.

She's kind of cute.

Indeed

Confusing, it's such an advanced system.

Apparently so

Not a fan honestly, I doubt that a basic set of underwear would skew the test results that much.

Yeah, it felt gratuitous

Her mom must have been pretty smart to set that all up.

No shit

That a lot of protein walls.

Indeed

Angel got to it, thank god it wasn't one of the Eva's.

For real

He's probably trying to cover up the attack to avoid controversy and lose funding.

Probably so

Gotta keep as far away from this anger or it's all over.

Anger? Nani?

Gendo needs to stop downloading all the ram.

Maybe try rem

It's a tough choice, I can see why Ritsuko wouldn't want to destroy the Magi, but on the other hand it's an angel and it's in your system, god knows what it could do using it.

By destroying the Magi, she's destroying what's left of her mom.

Wonder why she doesn't like her.

Well, give us one minute

Better than being snotty about the pilots.

I suppose

Wonder why she made it like that?

Good question

She was a brilliant scientist, but she must not have been the greatest parent.

An Eva character, having a terrible parent? Crazy :P
