[EVA] Angel Names and BAckground

There's none of that on my part, worry not.

It's a fake. What Seele seeks is the return to the womb, specifically, the
return to the single entity of the origin, a single entity that being alone
cannot suffer, because there exists no 'other' to be hurt by. Seele are
nothing but old men who are afraid of life, and their project leads nowhere
close to evolution in any sense.

A culture not many people dwell into.

I agree with you in that.

*Sigh*. So, if a person does not see all the Qabbalah you're talking about,
then it's not seeing anything else than robots? Hmmm, talk about missing the
point.

As one of the staff once said, "nobody knew where we were going with
Evangelion, not even the staff, except Director Anno". Eva _is_ Anno's
brainchild. The others helped, and most certainly put their deal of ideas
into it, but what really counts in Eva is from Anno.

Says you.

ROTFL!!! Sorry, but while that site started pretty good, it ended up using a
lot of opinions by the mantainer or other fansites as facts, and that flawed
its reliability beyond remedy. As an example, let me quote (translated) the
way he begins to tell Eva's story:

"The story of Evangelion begins in the year 2000 AD.
That year, an immense object that will officially be reported as an asteroid
falls on Antarctica. It is the arrival of Adam, first angel."

The author then goes on, talking about Adam being a warning to humanity,
angels promising they'd return to judge humanity, and so on: this is what
was used by Gainax itself to create hype before the actual airing of the
show by using purposeful misinformation, other examples were the rumors
about Misato being a journalist.

But the sentence I quoted above contains two blatant errors itself: the
story of Eva starts not in 2000 AD, in fact we also see some of the
characters during the '90s, and it's not like the show begins in that year
either. Most noticeably, however, Adam does NOT fall from heavens or
anywhere else: he's found there, underground in the White Moon, which is his
egg, and which is identical to Lilith's underground Hakone.

> I am sorry, but it's only in italian.

And I'd add "fortunately".
