I'll raise again- Taggert screaming w00t! Taggert is a guildie in Earth and Beyond. He is the craziest person I know. People actually quit the guild over him, and most log off when he logs on. Heh heh heh... beat that.

Ah, good ol' NXE quotes . . . of course, that's not really directly from them either, since it's supposedly an apocryphal statement by Longinus when he was martyred . . . but ah hell, I got started with writing by reading EPU's stuff, they deserve a plug every now and then.

<a href=http://www.eyrie-productions.com/NXE/>Ah, Neon Exodus Evangelion, how I enjoyed thee . . .</a> too bad it's on hiatus until the 'movie' story is finished.

yay! someone else here reads NXE. best fanfic of an anime frought(i have no idea how to spell this) with religious symbology and cool mechas ever. i just wish an anime con would swing by my neck of the woods to give me an excuse to make a plugsuit(a functional one). wow, this is really off topic...um, ES RULES.

Actually, that quote was originally from the "Marathon" trilogy of computer games. Very cool series of games with a lot trippy, neat plot stuff hidden beneath the surface.

Oh, and does anyone have a link to NXE? If they quote Marathon, then I'll definitely want to give it a read.

EDIT: Whoops! Nevermind. Somebody did already.

Ahh.... NGE, probably the anime that f***ed with my head the most. I still remember staying awake for 3 hours after I watched it trying to comprehend all I saw.

13 hour NGE marathon + Lack of Sleep = Very Very Very Disturbed dreams.

Soo.... Meji looks like Rei... kinda... maybe, hey I had to get it back on topic somehow.

*stutters incomprehendingly*

you...you were confused by weird stuff in NGE? am i that crazy, that i understood the eps that were meant to be incomprehensible and freaky. the answer is clearly yes, because i understood the deeper messages in Lain, too. damn i'm weird.
um, furthermore, to get back on topic, didnt one of Lains friends look kind of like meji?

2 words: Boogiepop Phantom.

Now that my friends was some f*cked up shit, an episode was shown backwards, I didn't even notice it until I listened to the directors commentry.
Almost every episode was set in different parts of the same continuity but not all of it fit together properly(One episode showed a guy getting arrested several days before the bright lights another showed the same thing several days after) my mind was gone by the last episode.

And on topic, Meji is the cutest demi-god I've ever seen. And she gets around enough to make me want to go to her temple and worship.

Actor.

While it is true that ceremonies of religious devotion are properly called "services", I do not think that the term is meant to refer to quite the sort of "service" you're contemplating here. =P

Well, geez, just look at your screen name. You obviously have *some* familiarity with esoterica :) Most people on the street would be like "Adam who?"

i guess you have a point there, but it still confuses me that some people find stuff like NGE eps 25-26 confusing, the meaning always seems so normal to me. then again i'm a paranoid delusional geek, so i'm kind of an exception to the rules of normality.

Dear god, you LIKE NXE? That thing rips Evangelion to shreds, has incredibly bad self-insertion complete with "super ultra sexy everybody loves me I'm the best in the universe"-style author avatar AND it completely changes EVERYTHING. NXE is one of the worst insults to Evangelion EVER! If it wasn't for the MSTings of it, I'd say it'd be unbearable... then again, I've never read good Evangelion fanfiction, so perhaps I'm not one to judge.

(Read the thing in parentheses below. These are NOT my views on NXE in their entirty, and they're slightly altered fior reasons I mention below.)

Heh. I love how everybody always misses that DJ is MEANT to be so danged annoying.

Of course, I rather thought he was charming, myself. Of course, that is only a shield for him, just like Asuka's temper and Shinji's shyness. If he wasn't charming, he'd be in a mental institution. Honestly, a boy has only two real choices when their mum is missing, presumed dead. He chose one. he could easily have taken Shinji's way out. The whole point of NXE is to provide contrasts to NGE. In one, the world ended. In the other, it's still around. In one, the hero was a lonely, quiet but still annoying prick. In the other, the hero was loud, obnoxious, assured, but still a prick. In one, the mythology was Kabbalist. in the other, it's Catholic. Really, NXE was much more interesting than NGE, simply because I actually bothered to care about the protagonist. Shinji's aprick with nothing going for him. DJ's at least a prick with STYLE.

(Bear in mind, this is me taking the views of someone who thinks DJ was a prick. I saw no evidence of pricklike behavior from DJ, so I can't possibly know what makes him so prickish. The guy saved Maya's freaking life, after all.)

--Oh, wait, I see what you mean . . . you think DJ's a bleeding SELF-INSERT ^^?

Excuse me while I die of laughter. DJ's so far from Gryphon's actual personality and behavior's it's unbelievable. You want to criticize him for making a too-good SI? Go read UF, and then you can yell at him. But yelling at Ben for making DJ so damn good? Look at DJ's personal history. Son of Fox Mulder and Lara Croft, trained by Lara for most of his formative years, then forced to raise himself for more years. Either he survives and becomes a person like he became, or he dies. Plain and simple. Gryphon, however, is much more loose and less athletically fit. Whatever he is, DJ he ain't. So it cracks me up when he gets called an SI. The author even said he was trying to make a complete opposite of himself. For proof, read his imaginary conversation with DJ.

Now, I really must stop laughing or else I'll pass out. Gohanks, are you by any chance related to Terry Pratchett? Because only he's ever managed to make me laugh so hard.
