Random Evangelion quotes!

For some reason I found the urge to search up my usual Username for everything on the internet, till LJ/I came up with CarlEldar.

So I proceeded to search up "DemonHost" I found a bunch of half written blogs and stuff that I have posted in my youth. Lots of the sites were filled with a variety of quotes from Neon Genesis Evangelion, that was the first anime I watched (Not including Dragonball Z :P) I still rate it as the best anime I have watched up too date. Even though I have watch quite a few with LJ since then, I still like Evangelion the best.

(My old signature on forms xD)

Anyways, I thought I would say one of the quotes that sums up how much of a mind fuck the series can be at times. This is taken from one of the last episodes, I don't think it contains any spoilers, mostly because it is so hard to understand!

"Mountains. Heavy are the mountains but that changes with the passage of time. Sky. Blue sky. What your eyes can't see. What your eyes can see. The sun. One, only one. Water. It is agreeable. Commander Ikari. Flowers. So many the same, so many without purpose. Sky. Sky red. Red the color, the color I hate. The liquid flows. It drips, ripples and pours. Blood. Scent of blood of a woman who does not bleed. From the red soil the humans come. The humans made by man and woman. City. A human creation. EVA. A human creation as well. What are humans? Are they creations of God? Humans are that which is created by humans. This is that which is mine. My life. My heart. I'm a vessel for my thoughts. The entry plug. The throne of the soul. Who is this? This is me. Who am I? What am I? What am I? What am I? I am I. This object that is, is myself. That which forms is me. This is the self that can be seen and yet this in not like that which is myself. Strange feeling. My body feels as if it is melting. I can no longer see myself: my form, my shape, it fades from view. Awareness dawns of someone who is not me. Who is here, there, beyond me here? Shinji? This person I know, Major Katsuragi. Dr Akagi. People. My classmates. The pilot of Unit 2. Commander Ikari? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?"

I believe this to be Shinji Ikari in his own mind, if you watch the whole series this does make some sense, but I need to re-watch it to make sense of it again.

Another good quote from Evangelion is:

"Who am I? What am I?
I am I.
This object that is myself, that which forms what is me. This is the self that can be seen and yet it is not like that which is myself."

This is Shinji again I think, a good example on how much Philosophical questions are raised in the series.

If any of you like anime, you should really give this one a try. A good site with reviews can be found here: http://www.anime-source.com/banzai/modules.php?name=Anime&rop=showcontent&id=91
I might post a review of my own some day, but I'm too lazy now.

So there we go, this is my 12:35AM half-baked post about Evangelion, Woo!

Soon to come: More randomness and Warhammer!

Those two quotes were said, if I recall, by Rei Ayanami.
