>>50 英語: Is this the correct thread for this question? Please, let's discuss Ayanami Rei and Q. Help a sad and confused foreigner. It's over, isn't it? They have killed the character. I realize now, that nothing of the original Ayanami Rei remains. Her role has been reduced, she was gone in the most important movie. 黒波 is not a substitute. She will never come close to Ayanami Rei. In fact, 黒波 is everything Rei Ayanami wasn't. She's stupid. They(Anno, staff) have done this: -Removed Rei's role -Removed Rei's aesthetic and achievement (Battle, lance of longinus, lilith) -Removed her intelligence and intuition -Removed her self-introspection, her philosophy Everything positive about "Rei Ayanami" in Rebuild of Evangelion has been removed. Nothing positive has been made either. Nothing new, like the other character. Q is a "new story", but Rei Ayanami is not part of this new story. All that remains, is cooking Rei Ayanami, and idiot black wave. There is no longer room for Rei Ayanami in the Evangelion franchise, is there? Why? Why was this necessary?
>>55 You're right. I might have exaggerated a little earlier. But I was really upset and disappointed. I think they've removed the "good" parts of Rei Ayanami, and made her existence in Rebuild of Evangelion very fragile and unimportant. They have removed too much and put too little back. Meanwhile, other characters have been "upgraded" with new things. What's worse, is that Rei is very unlike the original TV-version. Kuronami (Rei 09) is almost like an insult, and there's too much connection with Yui, who is now Yui Ayanami. So, because of this, Rei no longer stands out. If this this thread is about who is the heroine or not, then Rei is almost disqualified at this point, I think. Something extremely drastic must be done in 4.0, and even then, it's too late. 3.0 was really important. This is just the consensus I have gathered from discussing with english-speaking westerners. What does Japan think? Would people get angry if we made an english thread?

>>56 熱心なレイファン、LRSファンの人は、今もレイがヒロインだと信じて疑わないようだよ 日本でも意見が分かれているから共通の認識は無いと思う im afraid that they would think of an english thread as troll or something, or they would just ignore it since almost none of us can read them

>im afraid that they would think of an english thread as troll or something, A shame. 2ch/Japan is very interesting. Important source of news and information, speculation, etc... No troll intended, since EVA is a Japanese work, Japanese opinion and insight important. >日本でも意見が分かれているから共通の認識は無いと思う Divided opinions aren't unusual. But, looking at Q, the third act in the four-part story which is so important, Rei not being there almost means she is out already. >熱心なレイファン、LRSファンの人は、今もレイがヒロインだと信じて疑わないようだよ What about others? I certainly don't think Rei will be as popular as before Q, I think. Thanks for answering.
>>66 問題, Problem: >物語上の重要度 In Q (新劇), they have made Rei(レイ) less important. Lilith, clone connection with Yui Ayanami, absence..... Whatever importance Rei has in must be introduced in 4.0: FINAL. (新劇) >>61 I hope Rei will "return" in FINAL. Q made her very weak. Rei Ayanami is now a damsel in distress. (苦しんでいる乙女) I never saw Rei that way. She is not 苦しんでいる乙女 FINAL must be very good to compensate...
