Here is where things really heat up. The intrigue ramps up and so does the relationship between Gendo and Shinji. Somehow Gendo here seems more harsh yet also wiser. Kaji has greater depth. Indeed, the only character now suffering is Ritsuko, who see ...more

The Manga continues to sport impressive art and more character nuance than the show. Asuka here is more two-faced, competent, and ferocious. The dancing battle though benefited of course from the superb episode but here it works all the same.

This is coming along well so far. Rei, a character I never liked as much in the show (although she had strong moments) is better all around here. I cannot wait to read the rest.

Also things for lack of a better word are more plausible here and less go

I heard this was as good if not better than the show. In Volume 2 I decided all I heard is so far true. I love how it is drawn.

I love the details. The character interactions are also more varied. Ritsuko is more personally cunning. Shinji is not hap

I love the show and heard the Manga is its own thing and superbly drawn. Also, Sadamoto was key to the creation of the TV show and treated this seriously. Indeed, the Manga ran from 1995 to 2013!

That said volume I follows the show very closely so Sad

Jean Genet
“Worse than not realizing the dreams of your youth would be to have been young and never dreamed at all.”
Jean Genet

William Faulkner
“It's all now you see. Yesterday won't be over until tomorrow and tomorrow began ten thousand years ago. For every Southern boy fourteen years old, not once but whenever he wants it, there is the instant when it's still not yet two o'clock on that July afternoon in 1863, the brigades are in position behind the rail fence, the guns are laid and ready in the woods and the furled flags are already loosened to break out and Pickett himself with his long oiled ringlets and his hat in one hand probably and his sword in the other looking up the hill waiting for Longstreet to give the word and it's all in the balance, it hasn't happened yet, it hasn't even begun yet, it not only hasn't begun yet but there is still time for it not to begin against that position and those circumstances which made more men than Garnett and Kemper and Armistead and Wilcox look grave yet it's going to begin, we all know that, we have come too far with too much at stake and that moment doesn't need even a fourteen-year-old boy to think This time. Maybe this time with all this much to lose than all this much to gain: Pennsylvania, Maryland, the world, the golden dome of Washington itself to crown with desperate and unbelievable victory the desperate gamble, the cast made two years ago; or to anyone who ever sailed a skiff under a quilt sail, the moment in 1492 when somebody thought This is it: the absolute edge of no return, to turn back now and make home or sail irrevocably on and either find land or plunge over the world's roaring rim.”
William Faulkner, Intruder in the Dust

Malcolm Muggeridge
“The depravity of man is at once the most empirically verifiable reality but at the same time the most intellectually resisted fact.”
Malcolm Muggeridge

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Palm Sunday: An Autobiographical Collage

Johann Georg Hamann
“Poetry is the mother tongue of the human race, as the garden is older than the ploughed field; painting, than writing; song, than declamation; parables, than logical deduction; barter, than commerce. A deeper sleep was the repose of our most distant ancestors, and their movement was a frenzied dance. Seven days they would sit in the silence of thought or wonder; -- and would open their mouths -- to winged sentences.”
Johann Georg Hamann, Writings on Philosophy and Language
