When in the hell did THAT happen?? ([spoiler]Asuka's eyepatch in the next movie looks pretty boss, gotta say. Wouldn't she be a great pirate?[/spoiler]) [/quote] [spoiler]I totally agree. The Asuka bit was like "ffwhaa?" Especially when she called Misato and talked about how it was nice to open up/talk to other people (my face --> o_o). I was on 4chan's /a/ and they were all claiming that the rebuild Asuka was worse because she was just a huge tsundere but I liked her a lot more in the rebuild than in the original series, too. She's still not my favorite but I can see why Rebuild would change someone's mind... in the original series I pretty much didn't like any of the characters except Kaworu, who was in it for like 14 whopping minutes, but after Rebuild I really like all of them. And I ship Shinji/Rei now, even if it's sort of creepy. They were shipping Shinji/Rei SO HARD in Rebuild. And it's interesting to see Shinji and Rei acting with a bit of backbone this time. It seems like in the rebuild they emphasize Shinji's main problem as his need for approval from his father. I watched the series so long ago I don't remember well but I never remembered it being like the *main* cause, just one of many. Anyways, I approve. And when Rei stopped Asuka from slapping her in the elevator. Loved it. Also I'm one of those fans who REALLY WANTS Rebuild to be the "sequel" (aka this is the world Shinji created after the third impact/everyone turns into tang in EoE). People are theorizing that eyepatch Asuka is the "real" Asuka from EoE... idk I sort of want it to happen hehe. I hated Mari at first because she was a useless side-character/Mary Sue but by the end I loved her. Also I was teh happy over Kaworu. :] I want Shinji/Kaworu :] :] I was disappointed by 1.11 because it just boring rehash to me, but 2.22 has gotten my excited... I want Rebuild to be "better" than the original. ITA with what you said about how Anno is a different person now. I want Rebuild to have a bittersweet ending rather than EoE's depressing mindfuckery with overuse of Christian symbols.

[quote name ='chibi_master']And they all say that the teachera and such are like family! Why would television lie to us all?![/quote] Teachers are nice as can be but some of their teaching methods are garbage. The main problem with the school I'm at is equipment. Being in a Computer Drafting program you'd think they'd give us a laptop or the programs that's required since most of our work is done on the computer. Noooo, all we get is some hand drafting kit with some scales and pencils that we only used for one class (ONE FRICKIN CLASS). After you pass that class that drafting kit is useless. I'll stop there before I go on a huge rant... (And please don't say I can always transfer.... Grr.... ) Edited June 3, 2010 by Rebellion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 [font="Palatino Linotype"][color="#808000"][/color][/font][font="Palatino Linotype"]I think the ability to change your Display Name three times a month is a bit of a novelty right now, but once people get used to it I have a feeling it won't be happening frequently. But who really knows. Anyway, we have a really great feature in profiles called Display Name History. If you click that link you'll not only see a list of Display Names, but you'll even see where the changes were. Admittedly that means you need to check a profile page to see this, but still, I wouldn't want us to allow Display Name changing [i]without [/i]a history being accessible.
