My reactions to Evangelion episode 3: a transfer/ the silent phone

This is where we get to the episodes I did not watch previously. I hope we get to know more about Rei in this one. In the episode preview at the end of episode 2 it looked like she was in the same class or school as Shinji. So let's see!

I've never seen a kid look less okay or getting used to it.

This kid is not doing good.

You can tell he's the kind of kid who aims to please and I feel like he kind of craves affection.

Why does Shinji need friends? How does that help the mission? Or are they just talking?

How old is Shinji?

This Toji (?) guy... So we're seeing how more kids are affected by what happened. Not sure if this is important to the plot, but it's nice to see the civilian perspective.

Uh oh, Shinji is the pilot.

Shinji's got his earbuds in. He'd fit in perfectly in 2024. What a loner.

Are the Angels from the meteor?

I can't imagine what these school officials were thinking giving the kids laptops with instant messaging capabilities to use during school hours.

Not surprised Toji punched him.

That glasses guy is a shit starter.

Did Rei predict the emergency alert before it happened or did they notify her? I'm not sure.

No glasses, boy! Don't sneak out to watch!

If they know regular weapons aren't going to stop the Angels, why do they keep using them?

Goddamnit it, Glasses. I said don't.

Don't call him and idiot, Misato.

Look, he's got PTSD. He needs to just let the Eva do its thing again.

So it seems like protecting people is what gets Unit One's juices flowing.

Oh, Misato is a rule breaker.

I'm a little disturbed by the Eva having fingernails. Is it like biotech? How did they make it?

Shinji's a little crazy.

In Closing

Trying to think how to gather together my impressions. Misato is interesting to me because on the one hand she's devoted to the mission and she's obviously good enough at what she does that she's a captain, but she also has a laxness about her (like letting the boys in the cockpit and telling Shinji to disengage). I can't tell if she's genuinely chaotic good or if she's got an ulterior motive here. Like, where do her loyalties lie?

I'm interested to see whart happens with Toji and Glasses and how this is going to play out through the series.

I know we only just met him but Shinji does not look like himself when he's piloting. Is he losing himself a little bit when he's in the Eva? It seems like something's not right with him, at least when he's in there.

Also, I kind of wonder about the Eva training. Is it the most effective? It seems like they don't fully understand how the connection between the pilot and the Evas works because Shinji's keeps doing things it shouldn't and it seems like he's more successful when he ignores instructions and goes with the flow. Of course, I've only seen two fights so far, but that's how it looks to me.

I'll watch more tomorrow! That's the plan, anyway!
