There should have been as well:

"You secretly want all the NGE games, even though they are all shite!"

Which reminds me, Antipasta, the trade for the 2 NGE games im missing will be going ahead soon...

 

I've never even seen NGE ... :smt083

 

Damn man, get out and live a little! It really is an excellent series - it will mess with your head and is weird as hell, but is an amazing anime.

Not many of them applied to me, but there was one I found a little creepy:

I have a diehard friend who made a cd to listen to while he was between classes on campus. He recorded tracks 1-24 as 2 second audio tracks, and then split the entire cd into tracks 25 and 26. Then again, this is the guy who paid like $75 for a copy of the Red Cross Book but can't read a word of Japanese... :smt042

But yeah, I can definately sing the majority of the theme song, and I've no damned idea what it means unless I'm watching the subtitles. Bit of an odd note on that - with the official US releases, the subtitles for Cruel Angel's Thesis are in English half the time, and in Romaji the other half.

 

I've always been annoyed by those romaji subtitles, though, for two reasons:

1) It says "thesis", when she's clearly saying "teeze" which is based on the German word "These" (which is pretty much pronounced that way).
2) I don't like it when they write two other "borrowed" Japanese words (doa=door; patosu=pathos) in their English equivalents for the purpose of song lyrics as they sound nothing like what they would in English! GRRR.

Also:

I'm in the belief that S-DAT stands for Stationary (as in stationary head) Digital Audio Tape. It was a real tape standard, to complement R-DAT (Rotary Head DAT), but it never took off (much like DCC - Digital Compact Cassette) and I'm not even sure if any S-DAT equipment/media was ever sold. God knows why Gainax thought they'd still be using primitive magnetic tapes for audio recording in 2015 though

And I know at least 3 people who know all the lyrics to the opening song, and only one of them did Japanese in uni... though Evangelion was probably one of the reasons why he did it :-D

I wouldn't say I'm crazy about it, mainly cuz I haven't watched it in years, though I was once, but it's still a damn good series. I remember before the movies got their official English releases and my friend got this dodgy copy from Singapore on eBay... with hilarious(-ly bad) subtitles...

A word of warning to any newbies though: Watch it AT LEAST twice if you actually want to know what the hell's going on!

Also, this thread takes me back to my pokemon+Usenet days - there's a list there... if you can find it inbetween all the humoungous sig's (erm, it was the style at the time...)!
