| the more we revealed about stuff on the nerv i'm getting suspicious on angel's target are justified lol. it's just seems that the human are the one to cause the impactions. |
| I like how these past few episodes are simply them dealing with various angels, I like how they still each carry a bit of weight to them- this one especially. Makes me kind of want to learn more about Ritsuko's mother, a character that we haven't seen and never will, and was never even mentioned before this episode I believe. But while these mostly episodic stories are not bad by any means, I hope we do get the ball rolling soon; and from the next episode preview it appears to be that way. It's been perhaps even over a year since I watched this last, and I forget when the plot really starts to kick in again, but I hope it's soon. |

| Yay the Ritsuko Episode. Kind of crazy how everyone seems to have a workaholic parental figure who they hate. |
-insert NGE meme here- |
| W Shinji. W Evas. W everything. W Rei. |
| Rather cliched with the less than a second save, but at least it didn't quite fall into the cliche of hack being preventable by just powering everything off due to the organic nano-machine nature of the angel. Which really begs the question. Why the hell has no one questioned why/how all these angels have been so different from each other?! One was a giant humanoid, diamond spaceship with huge drill, another humanoid but could split in 2, we've had huge underwater whale, lava-swimming angler, acid-crying giant spider, orbital death from above, now a nano-organism colony that could create a living super computer. All this variety and no-one questions it. Just scan, it gives the angel reading and they kill it. Or in this case subdue it. NERV may have stopped the Angel takeover, but how do they move on from here? Isn't that angel still in the system, and surely self-destructing would've caused the angel to die anyway, so why did it settle for stalemate? Think again, the main reason I'm loving each episode is the pointers and hints to things that are likely to come to a head much later. What were those temporary bodies and why are they looking into autopilot? The other interesting point was when they launched the EVAs to the surface to keep them safe. Unit 01 had priority. Ikari didn't want to save Rei's prototype unit or Unit 02 (which is meant to be the newer model). What is it specifically about Unit 01 that makes it the most valuable that it would be worth sacrificing 2 other units to save? |
| It’s not as good as the previous one but it was nice for Ritsuko taking central focus here and it was a little different from the usual Angel attacks and it was mainly just a cyber virus esque one this time trying to take control of the main base itself. I feel like with this one it gives us a break from the main trio even if it’s only for an episode or so. It was good of the show to give us something interesting but cool at the same time. Not bad otherwise. |

| Man! This came in the mid nineties!!! It feels like Evangelion could have come out today and still be fresh! What a trip :D |
| A Ritsuko centric episode, i loved it. i find the idea of creating the magi with three different parts of her mother's personality so fascinating, they are in costant conflict between themselfes like real people. Ritsuko is so interesting, it makes me sad that she is underated by the community. |
| ''Touch the darkness inside me'' |
| Too much techno babble in the episode. The revelatio about the blond lady's mother's brain was interesting though. |
| Slow start, but the info about the personalities in the Magi system was insightful and creepy - man, that brain! |
| that all seemed like some utter impossible and bit naive shit, but then again this is pure fiction after all. lol |
| "Organic Technology" huh... Loved how this episode focused on Ritsuko (and the adults) and not the kids. We finally got to know more about the Magi and Ritsuko. I really like how all the angels are so different. |
| I don't know why I imagine Anno writing the plot of this episode while watching Urutoraman Tiga sit on his sofa and copying 1:1 what happened in episode 31 of that show, with the thing of the alien imvaders sizing control of the main computer of the GUTS base. I also don't know why he bothered putting the overcomplicated word salad to pass himself as the big intellectual he wasn't when I (and presumably other otakus like him appreciated and loved more the fact of sharing the love for the same IP (despite me preferring Cosmos to Tiga) than the word salad on itself. Me loving the same otaku stuff he loved when he made this show + a newfound sexual appreciation for both Asuka (which I personally prefer) and Rei is what made my enjoyment of the show on the whole greater than the last time I rewatched it, not the overcomplicated jargon for the sake of it. |
