(And the first episode of Evangelion premiered on Wednesday, October 4th, 1995)

Imagine coming home from cram scool at 18:30 in the evening and whatching this thing for the first time. This weird mix of giant robot cliche and what-the-fuck? Would you have kept watching it without knowing what it was to become? 

Anyway - not only have we had the series - we've had the manga, the movies, the weird AU's, the merchandise and that one garage figurine of Asuka sitting on a cutaway toilet (Seriously, WTF?). And it still lingers, drawing fans like a siren. Once captured, you cannot escape.

It's also been about 20 years since I started *that bloody fic* and maybe ten years since I lost any ability to create. So it goes. Time and the world move on.]]>

First impressions are, that it's definitely an Evangelion film. "“It’s not that it was no good, but I was like ‘Is that how you’re gonna end it?!?’”

I'm sort of posting it here, rather than elsewhere.

It'll be a while before I see it - with internation distribution being what it is but it's a melancholy thought.

Of course this means, no more Service! Service! Service!]]>

It's currently a load of Golf courses.
It's a very touristy area so English is common
In Episode 1, Misato is meeting Shinji in Odawara Station - which is the gateway to the area. A train normally goes from here to Hakone-Yumoto - which then becomes a seperate switchback train that goes to Gora (Wich is down due to landslides at the moment)
The road in one direction from my hotel leads directly to where Misato's apartment should be - at the foot of a steep mountain - and has the Sengokuhara Junior High listed as an evacuation route.
Shinji takes an odd course when he runs away. The grass fields he walks past are very close to his apartment - about 15 minutes walking time. This is after he appears to end up in an area built up large enough to have a cinema. This could either be Gotemba which is to the North near Mt Fuji, or Odawara to the South (Called New Yokusuka in the anime). It looks like he walks in circles aimlessly.
Hakone - Hakone Yumoto is very much a tourist town with a lot of food shops and souvenir shops.
Speaking of Episode 4- the misty valley Shinji runs to is at the top of mountain and - is actually a popular local tourist attraction called Owakudani that is normally teeming with people. It's a volcanic valley that is the source of the local hot springs. It was closed today due to volcanic activity. It also smells the the devil's arse.
This is a hot-spring area - and all the local hot springs are fed by a network of pipes from Owakudani - any collateral damage to the network will be noticed in the local economy and result in *paperwork* and *protests*.
Misato's drive from her apartment to the Station to pick up Shinji is really treacherous at the best of times. The road is steep, winding and narrow, and also lined tightly with houses, shops and people climbing between home and shops. Oh, and probably the best bus drivers in the world hammering up and down it with city route buses loaded with tourists.
The road where Misato stops in that episode is actually a busy tourist bus station serving Hakone Yumoto train station. There's a river running down the centre of the town behind the main strip of buildings with heavy flood and landslide defences. The Camera in epsiode 4 where Misato arrives and we look from her back is in the centre of the river. Normally you could walk across it.
This whole area is really a cluster of villages just sort of built into the mountainsides. wherever there's a momentary level bit of ground. Otherwise it's hellaciously steep.
There're more than a few old and abandoned looking places - especially on the Yumoto side of the mountain - some of them either Onsen or inns that've fallen on hard times. Would Doug's training centre have its own hot-spring bath?
Sengokuhara - at the North end of lake Aishi is the proposed location of Tokyo-03 - and it's the only area that's remotely flat. It's mostly golf-courses and hotels
The whole area is hemmed in by steep mountains - it's a natural compact amphitheatre. Tokyo-3 is only a couple of kilometres long and wide. It's a dense city - a few strides for an Eva at most.
It is very easy therefore to cut off road access to the area because almost every route crosses a mountain. Some roads are currently blocked due to landslides.
God knows how anyone gets a tank along these roads.
The old Tokaido road runs along the bottom of lake Aishi.
There's a brewery in Gora - the other side of the mountain to Tokyo-3 - and it makes good beer.
Just getting too and from places on the Hakone-Yumoto side of the mountain makes for good physical training - something that looks close by on Google maps is actually a bloody steep climb.
The Fifth Angel probably incinerated a resort and everyone who was staying there - if they didn't bother to evacuate. It's right in the firing line.
The Tenth Angel obliterated a town of thousands with one of its misses.
The Togendai to Moto-Hakone sightseeing cruise is a faster way from one end of the lake to the other than the local bus. Tokyo-3 is at the Togendai end.
You could probably see Mt Fuji from an Evangelion's perspective in Tokyo-3 - and it's actually a really pretty sight.

There are currently no Angels - but the evacuation point for this hotel is Ex-Sengokuhara Junior High School.]]>

That's right kids, we are now officially in the days when Evangelion was supposed to have happened.  Fortunately for us, it looks like it's not going to happen.  But what about the things that Eva predicted correctly?  We have:

• Sea level still rising
  
• Japanese population falling
  
• People still using HOPE as a password (stored in plaintext of course)
  
• Given the above, computers trusted with life and death decisions anyway, sometimes with consensus algorithms
  
• Automated flying killing machines are available, but ours are smaller
  
• Most symbolism IRL is also irrelevant
  
• Dick Cheney lives in the GeoFront
  

Sadly, the recent attempt to put a Lance of Longinus on the Moon has failed.  But other than that, a pretty good prediction.  At this rate, Japan will perfect the sexaroid in the next 17 years.

It's interesting, because many of the locations in the anime were inspired by actual locations in and around Lake Ashi and Hakone. Most of Tokyo-3 is a golf course, but some thing stand through. Some places are specifically recogniseable, including Shrines, train stations, convenience stores and the like - many of which are recogniseable in real life. Along with some interesting legends and details.

Unfortunately, the Megaupload link on one of the blogs was killed by the FBI....

Probably the best research tool for Evangelion there is. Better than the Evageeks wiki. There's a fair bit to wade through to find the individual episode writeups, but they're worth it because they're pretty detailed and touch on a lot of interesting background details. Also including extended universe material, AU material and fanfics in the final two threads

From RPG.net
First. Up to TV Episode 10

A full index of all six threads can be found Here

There's also an estimated timeline Here

It's come in handy more than once. Like giving me the name of the town the Tenth Angel obliterated.
