Talk:Shinji and Asuka's Relationship

"In other words, they were in love with eachother, but never hit it off. "
I don't think this is true. --Ornette 10:54, 20 February 2008 (PST)

I wasn't responsible for that, the only thing I did was make a few rough notes in the form of the 1st paragraph....Did V add some stuff or something?? WTF. Anyway, they Asuka & Shinji were interested in each other for sure, but their relationship is...complicated. --Sailor Star Dust 12:40, 13 March 2008 (PDT)

What V said...it was Sachi's addition. I'll remove it, since it makes things look way too simple.--UrsusArctos 17:51, 13 March 2008 (PDT)

Updates

Sorry for the delay in finishing this... I decided to watch the series over again from ep8 onward to refresh my memory before getting down to the real meat of the article. This is a huge topic with a lot of nuance to cover, so please bear with me.--NemZ 20:03, 21 April 2009 (PDT)

You're a real trooper for working on this monster. One thing it could possibly benefit from is in-text citations of dialogue. (Or, perhaps in less critical cases, footnotes using the ref format.) In my experience, Eva fans are more easily persuaded when both dialogue and screenshots are right there accompanying one's arguments. (In a lot of cases, this is the ONLY way to persuade them.) --Reichu 09:46, 10 May 2009 (PDT)

Cleanup

I've marked this with the "cleanup" template. Does it really need to be in this "he said, she said" format, with every incident described twice? It's making it seem really long and draggy. I propose making it more linear, with each incident described once, along with discussion of the characters' motivations. (I'll also try to do something about the overall tone.) thewayneiac 9:49 AM EDT. July 5, 2009.

I asked about the format before I started, and explained the pros and cons of split vs. unified. I got no feedback, so I went with my gut. I still feel that running them as two separate lines will ultimately lead to a clearer understanding of how the situation developed as it did through miscommunication than having to cover both sides at once. I'll be getting back to this very soon. --NemZ 20:56, 12 July 2009 (PDT)

O.K., I won't fiddle with the format until I see the finished product. But I think it might be easier to follow if you were to organize each of the two main headings into subheadings, as I did with the Episode 15 subsection I added to the Asuka section. Do you have any thoughts on what I added? I actually did it as part of my episode guide cleanup. The shadowed-eyes business was way too detailed for the Ep. 15 page and needed to be moved here. --thewayneiac 10:48 EDT. July 13, 2009.
