Mm. It's convenient & easily findable; so far I don't seem to have
stumbled into any punji traps by using it (or at least noone has
pointed out any fatal mistakes but it's early days yet). I also have a
ZIP file of what seems to be the ADV Platinum scripts which I
downloaded off of evageeks.org or evaotaku.com IIRC; I sometimes
crosscheck with them.

(Scripts may include more, but as I said at the ANN for the
commentary, I'm generally unimpressed by the extra material. That
seems like an incredible amount for work for some bedraggled insights
like the description of Kaworu as the last angel in the OP.)
