Talk:List of Neon Genesis Evangelion characters

message: :"This has led fans to debate whether or not Maya's feelings for Ritsuko have romantic or sexual undertones, in the same manner as the debate over the relationship between Shinji and Kaworu."
--That was a very good way of summarizing the "situation"; we should leave it as this.  Good.  --Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici 22:44, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

text: My own "translation team" more or less varifies the scripts ( I do have all the Renewal scripts but translation is another matter).  As for the knee in crotch theory....its not like she's grinding away at her with her knee or something, its kind of just how she's sitting.  That said, I'm a total Mata fan, simply because she's an ordinary "girl next door" seemingly *normal* person on a show filled with basket cases! and for a relatively minor character was fairly memorable (I think it was just the voice was really good, but that VA never did anything after that).  --Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici (talk) 14:51, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Knee:  Agreed...it's not all that explicit, and if you're not paying attention you're likely to miss it (like I did) but given the context of the scene, it's rather suggestive...it's definitely not something I would do to a woman unless I was very intimate with her or wanted to become so.  Script:  There's not an official translation of the script anywhere?  Nuts...Willbyr (talk | contribs) 16:52, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Some more Googlingresearch indicates that it's a fanon name - for some reason or another, it's become the most common name given to her in fan fiction. Similarly, Mrs. Tendo appears to have somehow acquired the name "Kimiko." Don't ask me how. As for "Mari," it's been used in Shinji and Warhammer40k, Neon Genesis Evanjellydonut, and Higher Learning, just to name a few, but I can find no official source. --76.31.137.85 (talk) 10:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The Angels really don't need 50kb to describe them. One introductory paragraph and a brief, bulleted list limited to a few sentences per Angel on the character list would be plenty. TTN (talk) 19:48, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[List of Angels in Neon Genesis Evangelion]] 

message: There is no place here for spare characters from Rebuild of Evangelion on this page.  We need another page for them.
If i did't need ouno changes of one username, who just now learn to speak with others, i could change they to ZimaPasocom (talk) 08:27, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: First, this is the list of characters for the entire franchise, not just the television series. So characters from Rebuild of Evagelion can be placed on this list. Second, I have cleaned up and reorganized the list to present it more in a real-life context. Since the Angles are monsters of the week through the series, they have been removed. I am also tempted to remove some other unimportant background characters, mainly those listed under other characters as they are not in the main plot. —Farix (t | c) 11:46, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The Angels are a critical element of the series (both the Anime and the Manga) - they are not simply MoTD - their origins and motivations are central to the plot. Removing them entirely is hardly appropriate. Please avoid mass deletions such as this in the future.(Hyperionsteel (talk) 23:51, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The Russian Evangelion articles appear to feature more outofuniverse information about the characters, sketches and more citations (see Rei's here). Since translation between Russian and English is easy to make (just Google Translate seems useful), I would recommend adding the extra information. After all, this is allowed by the Wikipedias.Tintor2 (talk) 16:21, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Potential quality upgrade 

message: I've noticed the Reception section here is horribly outdated and only really mentions a 1996 Animage poll. This is fine by itself, but misses representing the changing views and popularity of the characters over time. I'll try and include a lot more sources there, and would appreciate any indications - I know I can scrape the character articles for at least a decent amount, and I also have access to the new Newtype ones post-3.0+1.0. I do have to wonder if it'll look good without that table, but maybe the Animage poll is undue weight at this point. Again, I appreciate any suggestions.

thread_title:  New reception section 

message: Have we all forgotten what site we're on? This is an English article on the English Wikipedia. Cited sources need to (a) meet Wikipedia's reliability standards, (b) be written in English, and (c) be something that we can actually confirm the existence of. This means that you need to name a book, magazine issue, etc. that a person can buy or a website that a person can browse. If I type "ISBN 4-8074-9718-9" into a search engine and I only get three results, two of which are Wikipedia pages about Evangelion and the third of which is written in Spanish, then ISBN 4-8074-9718-9 is not a valid source.
Also, for the record, English dub actors are not reliable sources of information. Anyone who has listened to the "Commentaries of Evil" knows just how wrong they can be. 73.70.13.107 (talk) 10:29, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
