Talk:Tributes to Neon Genesis Evangelion in other Anime and Manga

If this page is for anime and manga only...

...Where shall I put references found in live-action movies, non-Japanese comics, etc? --Dr. Nick 14:38, 10 October 2007 (PDT)

Such as?--V 18:42, 10 October 2007 (PDT)

For example, MP Evas in One Hour Photo, other Eva "cameos" in X-Men comics, Invader Zim, animated Justice League series... --Dr. Nick 02:44, 11 October 2007 (PDT)

Maybe the title should be changed to "Tributes to Neon Genesis Evangelion in other Shows and Manga"? --Ornette 01:01, 13 October 2007 (PDT)

I'm thinking "Tributes to Neon Genesis Evangelion in Other Media" sounds less clunky. Incisivis 09:53, 13 October 2007 (PDT)

Four separate pages are probably required:

• Tributes to other anime and manga in Neon Genesis Evangelion
• Tributes to other media in Neon Genesis Evangelion
• Tributes to Neon Genesis Evangelion in other anime and manga
• Tributes to Neon Genesis Evangelion in other media

"Anime" and "manga" in the heading should probably not be capitalized, BTW. --Dr. Nick 10:12, 13 October 2007 (PDT)

Guys, I've already got some material for non-Japanese NGE references. So are we going ahead with creating a separate page for them, or changing the nature of this one? Incisivis 10:45, 14 October 2007 (PDT)

what's this from?

Anyone know what show this is from? Screenshot of theatre --Ornette 01:01, 13 October 2007 (PDT) Or this one? --Ornette 03:11, 13 October 2007 (PDT)

It's from a dating sim spin-off OAV named Elf ban Kakyuusei, episode 4. I've uploaded a nicer-looking version of the screenie. Not sure about the second one, but based on their uniforms, it could be some newer To Heart anime. --Dr. Nick 09:59, 13 October 2007 (PDT)

Update: a poster over at AN identified the second screenie as being from Seto no Hanayome. --Dr. Nick 13:30, 13 October 2007 (PDT)

I got an anonymous to identify it, but no episode, so I went to the ANN link about episode 17 getting pulled because there were similarities to characters from another show, ended up being Kamen Rider or something, but the ANN forums talked about the screenshot. Downloading episode 16 now and I'll make a clean screenshot when it's donem --Ornette 14:08, 13 October 2007 (PDT)

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu

That's stretching it. She's trying to wake him up and her hands were on his shoulders in order to shake him, not choke him.--Szmitten 10:40, 13 October 2007 (PDT)

[1] her hands look decidedly around his neck. But that's why I added the disclaimer, since I'm sure EoE isn't the first time a main character chokes another main character of the opposite sex while unconcious. --Ornette 11:16, 13 October 2007 (PDT)

In that screenie it certainly looks as if she's choking him (I wonder if we should include this fan-made shoopie...). But in any case, this is nothing a little tinkering with wording wouldn't fix. The disclaimer is good as it is, IMO.

I think there were a few other possible references in that scene where Yuki explains to Kyon who she is; I think there was an infinite loop of Yukis and some white-font-on-black-background captions similar to those in Eva. --Dr. Nick 12:53, 14 October 2007 (PDT)

5 Centimeters per Second

I watched some of the clips on YouTube, and I noticed that the noise made by the railroad crossing alarms is exactly the same as heard in NGE's introspective train scenes(Whether all railroad crossing alarms sound like that in Japan beats me, however). In addition, there's an image of the two protagonists on a strange planet seeing Earth in the sky, which is an Escaflowne reference, but which also might be a subtle reference to the Rei-Lilith scene in EoE, where the sunlight shines from under the moon as Lilith's twelve wings spread.

Dunno how to post these here, though...I guess it'll have to wait till someone gets the DVD.

Railway crossings sound the same in Japan. Yes, cicadas sound the same everywhere in Japan too.--Szmitten 02:51, 14 October 2007 (PDT)

Stupid me. Never mind.--UrsusArctos 04:40, 14 October 2007 (PDT)

Genshiken

I need some sauce for the Genshiken entry, I don't own the manga so I don't know which volume this is in, or if it is even in the Omake section --Ornette 22:47, 14 October 2007 (PDT)
