* Shenji and the gang join a naval squadron escorting the German Eva to Japan, but they didn't bring Shenji's Eva so I'm not sure why Katsuragi didn't just go herself.
* They meet the German Eva pilot Oshkosh and her handler Kiyoji who is Katsuragi's ex.
* If they're German why do they have Japanese names?
* The wind immediately blows up Asuka's dress (is she also 14?
) so Shenji's friend drops his pants and shows her his dick.

* The wind immediately blows up Asuka's dress (is she also 14?

* Disproportionate response if she was wearing underwear.
* Disproportionate response if she was wearing underwear.
* Fish Angel attacks and Koji Tabuchi makes a run for it in a helicopter. Oddly no one later brings up him cowardly saving his own neck and leaving everyone else to die.
* Asuka forces Shenji to crossdress in one of her outfits and go in the cockpit with her to fight the fish angel, but they can't fight underwater because the Eva is in type B configuration!
* I don't know what that means!!
* Also Asuka keeps calling Shenji "Third Children." I think at one point Rei is called First Children so I assume this somehow refers to the sequence of children chosen to pilot Evas but Shenji was the second pilot so why is he Third Children and also why is it plural?
* Asuka calls Shenji a sex pervert and they kill the angel by driving a boat into its mouth.
* Kioshi delivers a briefcase to Sheni's dad containing a fetus that is Adam, the first human.
* Sure why not?

* Sure why not?
* Next episode, Shenji and Asuka tagteam the next angel but it splits in two just like Jarex and Larex and the Evas get trashed.
* Asuka's the key to all this, she's a funnier character than we've seen before.
* Japan drops a bomb on the angel(s) that paralyzes it for six days.
* Why didn't they just do that to the prism angel when it was drilling into the geofront?
* In the meantime Shenji and Asuka have to learn to work as a team so they can become drift compatible.
* This is the only way to defeat this angel, for some reason.
* The way they do this is by cross-dressing and playing Twister.
* This episode is dumb.
* Katsuragi says "look how in sync Shenji and Rei are, we should just have her fight the angel instead."
* YEAH WHY DON'T YOU DO THAT?
* The night before the angel wakes up Asuka goes to Shenji's room in the middle of the night and he almost assaults her in her sleep but she starts crying so he doesn't.
* The penguin uses a human toilet.
* They go to fight the angel and Shenji's like "we'll kill this thing in 62 seconds" and they put a 62 second countdown on the screen and play comical music so you know this is a very tense scene.
* They fight the two angel halves so much that they turn back into one angel and then they kill it.
* A hologram of Asuka comes out of a landline phone and calls Shenji a sex pervert.
* Wow this is shit.
Me:
So the sequence is the First Impact which is presumably related to the
First Angel somehow, then the Second Angel crashes on earth in the
Second Impact which vaporizes Antarctica and turns him into a Shrimp
Baby somehow. They find him and put him in the briefcase from Pulp
Fiction, then there are no more angels for 15 years.
Me: Then all of a sudden they started appearing weekly like Power Rangers monsters, but they don't crash anymore they just appear.
Me: NERV's mission is to prevent a Third Impact, although the event that caused the Second Impact seems not to occur anymore.
Me: Why is Shrimp Baby the first human?
Paul: Honestly I think I remember the show confusing things a lot on people. Creator Hideaki Anno himself said he was trying to be as mysterious as possible because he was worried people would find his show stupid.
Paul: He has the lowest self-confidence of any famous person ever and is super negative about everything, I fucking adore him.
Me: Well he was confident enough to market his show on underage fanservice.
Paul: But Adam, although they just called him "the first man" I think....I forget. But I remember the gist of it.
Paul: To explain the gist of it I would have to explain what the angels are though and that would disappoint.
Paul: Like, too soon for that I think.
Paul: But the angels don't crash to Earth. Or if they did, it was a loooong, loooooooooooooobg time ago.
Me: They are 99% human DNA so maybe they are the progenitors of man!!!
Paul: They're been here the whole time waiting.
Me: Like the ancient humanoid race on Star Track
Paul: Okay yes that's exactly it.
Paul: Nvm you figured it out lol.
Me: So Adam didn't vaporize Antarctica by crashing into it?
Paul: No, he got pissed and blew up.
Paul: Yes that's dumb but I swear that's what happened.
Me: Then turned into a Shrimp Baby.
Paul: Or they had to nuke him to prevent him from doing what all the other angels are currently trying to do.
Paul: But he has a tough fucker, so he survived as a shrimp.
Paul: Like Rambo.
Paul: The first angel and the second angel made humankind, but the first angel got the lion's share of the say in how we developed. Adam was jelly (in his weird godlike alienish way).
Paul: That's all I should say for now.
Paul: The other angels are also jelly.
Me: Why do the other countries have Evas if the angels only attack Japan?
Paul: Because officially Gendo and Nerv aren't a Japanese agency, they're the UN.
Paul: The UN wants everybody participating, even if the angels are only ultimately interested in something that happens to be in Japan.
Me: Is Asuka German or Japanese?
Paul: I think her dad was Japanese.
Paul: Her mom is DEAD.
Paul: What a BONER KILLER.
Me: Is the AT field the same as the ABSOLUTE TERROR VOID in the opening credits??
Paul: Yes.
Paul: Also all the metaphysical shit has weirdly psychological underpinnings that sometimes vaguely have to do with the characters. The AT Field is like, the closest you can let another person come to understanding you without pushing them away? I think it's canon that all people technically have one, we just can't manifest them outside of our bodies like the angels do.
Paul: Absolute terror at somebody coming too close.
Paul: THAT'S THE ENERGY SHIELD FOR THE ENEMY ROBOT
Paul: Idk it's been a while, I forget if that's in the books I read about Eva or in the show itself.
Paul: Honestly the comic book ("mangay") does a lot better job of making the plot coherent.

The prism angel made me think the angels were going to get
progressively weirder and more abstract so the subsequent ones have been
kind of a letdown tbh.
Top 10 Angels
1. Prism Angel
2. Plague Doctor Angel
3. Squid Angel
4. Snake Angel
6. Fish Angel
7. Mortron Angel
8. Shrimp Baby Angel
Paul: It took me fifteen minutes to figure out wtf a Mortron was.
Paul: They didn't have wheels, bro.
Paul: The angels.
Paul: Dude, Shrimp Baby Adam is the creepiest wtf.
Me: He's just a little fetus.
Paul: A fetus who used to be a BOSS.
Paul: There are weirder, more abstract angels on the way.
Paul: I thought squid and fish were about equally bad-ass.
Me: When Adam regains his final form will he be a snake whose head is a human skull with a buzzsaw on it.
Paul: Screenshot of Adam's final form:
Paul:
Actually I'd honestly say most of the dull angels (I find the twin
angel particularly uninspired) are out of the way at this point. You may
find the next one a bit boring, but after that they get WEIRD.
Me: Oh good.
Me: Do they have the ones from the Bible that are like interlocking chariot wheels or sixteen pairs of wings?
*
They find a baby angel egg sleeping in a volcano so Asuka goes in to
catch it but it hatches and turns into a big magma squid but Asuka kills
it with "thermal expansion" and Shenji dives into the volcano and pulls
her to safety.
* So if angels start out as shrimp babies and getting blown up made Adam turn back into one I guess angels are like Digimons?
* Shenji gets a boner in the pool listening to lesbianism and the penguin is entranced.
*
Asuka's Eva got a fire protection suit but she still had to wear her
own inside of the eva even though it didn't cover her head and would
therefore be useless.
* Someone on the animation team just wanted to draw her in a fat suit.
* Is Asuka-Shenji-Rei the new Ashley-Shepard-Liara?
