3.1.11 Was there an Angel designed but not shown in the series?
 --------------------------------------------------------
 When Eva was aired in Japan, a contest took place where Japanese
 viewers had to draw an original Angel and send it to Gainax. The
 winner got his Angel drawn by one of the Gainax artists. Anyway
 that picture was first published in the March 1996 issue of
 Animage and it had the title "Eva Saishu Kessen" which translates
 to "last battle of Eva". Now because of this title Animage had to
 add a note that specified that the picture really had nothing to
 do with the actual end of the TV series (which by that point
 hadn't been screened yet).

 The Angel was designed by Satou "Diemay" Daimei (Tokyo).

 [Image: <http://faq.pen3.cjb.net/diemay.jpg>]
 His notes on his sketch are as follows:
 * Angel's height: 100 m
 * The Core is on its forehead.
 * He calls its strange head-horn thing its "Charm Point".
 * The 1st and 2nd arms contain "Deutron Rifles" which are "more
 powerful than the Positron Rifles of the Evas", according to
 Diemay.
 * The 3rd and 4th arms have some kind of claws.

 That pictures was never in the series or the movies, or anything
 else official, it was just a one off drawing by a Gainax artist
 for a guy who won a competition.

 "Diemay" once posted to JAE
 <http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=38204D75.D0B6D4F9%40ce.mbn.
 or.jp&oe=ISO-2022-JP&output=gplain>. He just said (in Japanese)
 "It's just gossip around here? And they're all foreigners... this
 is under Japan.*, right? I don't feel like writing here. Bye."
 and he left.


3.1.12 What did Gendou say to Ritsuko at the end of EoE?
 -------------------------------------------------
 Near the end of the End of Evangelion movie Gendou whispered
 something to Ritsuko to which she replied "Liar!" Many people
 believe that Gendou said "I love you", but this cannot be
 confirmed. Gendou's line is not in the scripts, storyboards or
 anywhere else. It seems we were never meant to know what he said.
 We can only guess.



3.2. Storyline Related Questions
 ===========================

3.2.1 In episode 16, how does Eva 01 get into the Sphere/Shadow
 after "falling" into the Sea of Dirac?
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 While a bit complicated to explain fully, it is easiest to think
 that when Unit 01 was dragged into the Sea of Dirac, it was
 actually entering another universe, that is kind of parallel with
 our own. So if Eva 01 was to move about in the parallel universe,
 then "come back" into our universe, it wouldn't be in the same
 place that it entered that universe (in other words, spacial
 coordinates are the same in both universes). So when Unit 01
 arrived back in this universe, it arrived actually inside the
 sphere. Like with a lot of things in NGE, this is up to
 interpretation.


3.2.2 In episode 20, how does Shinji's plugsuit get into the Entry
 Plug?
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 After Shinji's 400% Synch ratio, he is dissolved/absorbed into
 the Eva/Entry Plug. However, when he went into the Eva, he was
 wearing street clothes, and we distinctly see the plug suit. This
 confuses many of the more vigilant newbies, however Ritsuko
 explains that Shinji's ego gives a kind of "pseudo substance to
 his plug suit" (so just watch episode 20 again carefully).


3.2.3 How does Eva 01 move without power?
 -----------------------------------
 Three times during the series we see Eva 01 move without power
 and sometimes without a conscious pilot. The Evas however are not
 merely robots, they are living creatures as well, so maybe power
 is only needed for the pilot / NERV to control the Evas. If power
 wasn't present, perhaps the creature that the Eva is moves on
 it's own accord. That is when we see the Eva move without power,
 it is usually quite berserk. Like with a lot of things in NGE,
 this is up to interpretation as no hard explanation is given.


3.2.4 I do not understand Eva! What happened?
 ---------------------------------------
 _"Evangelion is like a puzzle, you know. Any person can see it
 and give his/her own answer. In other words, we're offering
 viewers to think by themselves, so that each person can imagine
 his/her own world. We will never offer the answers, even in the
 theatrical version. As for many Evangelion viewers, they may
 expect us to provide the 'all-about Eva' manuals, but there is no
 such thing. Don't expect to get answers by someone. Don't expect
 to be catered to all the time. We all have to find our own
 answers."_ - Anno Hideaki - PA #43, translated by Miyako Graham
 from 1 1/96 Newtype



3.3. Minor Details and Interesting Facts
 ===================================

3.3.1 What do the organisation names mean?
 ------------------------------------
 The names of the various organisations NERV, SEELE and GEHIRN are
 taken from the German.

 Der Nerv = Nerve

 Das Gehirn = Brain

 Die Seele = Soul


3.3.2 Beer and coffee facts
 ---------------------
 The name of Misato's beer was changed to Yebichu when it was
 aired on TV and then to Yebisu for the Video release. Boa Beer
 and it's brand name "Kuroshio Bussan" are references to the Boa
 Juice from "Sora Tobu Yurei Sen" a 1969 SF anime movie.

 She drinks coffee, after Kaji's death. "UCG" is a reference to an
 actual coffee brand called "UCC" (Anno's favourite coffee brand
 ^^).

3.3.3 The timeline of NGE
 -------------------
 Scratchbuilt's FAQ has a good timeline of events
 <http://www.evafaq.com/timeline.htm>.


3.3.4 What do the characters' names mean?
 -----------------------------------
 The following information was taken from the Essay page
 <http://www.gainax.co.jp/hills/anno/essay1.html> on Anno's
 official web page <http://www.gainax.co.jp/hills/anno/>. It was
 translated by massangeana (Ken Masuyma).

 Ikari Shinji: Ikari [anchor] is a component of a ship. It's also
 the name of my friend when I was a college student. Shinji is
 also named after my friend for many years [Higuchi Shinji]. Since
 both his wife and daughter's names are used as Anime characters,
 I wanted to make them an anime family. Sorry, Shin-chan.

 Ayanami Rei: Ayanami is named after a ship of the former Japan
 navy. Rei is just a pun of 'rei' [zero], but actually named after
 Hino Rei of Sailor Moon. It was a beit to invite Iku-chan
 (Ikuhara Kunihiko) as a staff, but he ran away. Too bad.

 Souryuu Asuka Langley: Souryuu is named after a ship of the
 former Japan navy [different kanji]. Langley from the US navy
 ship. Asuka is named after Wada Shinji's manga heroine
 ["Chou-Shoujo Asuka"].

 Katsuragi Misato: Katsuragi is named after a ship of the former
 Japan navy. Misato is a heroine of Narita Minako's manga [Izumi
 Misato of "Aitsu"].

 Kaji Ryouji: Kaji [rudder] is a component of a ship. Ryouji is
 also from a hero of Narita Minako's manga [Sawada Ryouji of
 "Aitsu"].

 Ikari Gendou: Gendou is borrowed from another anime project that
 was aborted. I didn't notice Gendou and Shinji is the same
 combination with Ishikawa Ken's manga until one of my friends
 pointed out. [I think he means Kuruma Shin'ichi and Kuruma Genzou
 of "Majuu Sensen"] His former name Rokubungi [sextant] is also a
 component of a ship. Just FYI, Asuka Rei of "Reideen" is also a
 coincidence.

 Fuyutsuki Kouzou: Fuyutsuki is named after a ship of the former
 Japan navy. Kouzou is just I thought it sounds well.

 Ikari Yui: Yui sounds like Rei, and also a pun [only one].

 Kiel Lorentz: Kiel is a component of a ship [keel]. Lorentz is
 named after a zoologist or something, but I can't remember well.
 Am I becoming senile? Oh, well.

 Akagi Naoko: Naoko is named after a friend of mine when I was an
 elementary school child.

 Souryuu Kyouko Zeppelin: Kyouko is also from Wada Shinji's manga.
 Zeppelin is named after a ship of the German navy that was never
 completed.

 Pen-Pen: Super straightforward naming, but I thought the
 reduplication sounds cute. His official name is the 2nd power of
 Pen. I was reluctant at first, but it appeared the show because
 we thought we need a mascot animal. The show is set in a
 hot-spring resort Hakone, and one associates a monkey to a
 hot-spring. But that is no fun, so we decided to make it a
 penguin, most unsuited animal in a hot-spring. I remember
 "Hot-spring penguin" is Sadamoto's idea.

 Hyuuga Makoto: Hyuuga is named after a ship of the former Japan
 navy, but what was Makoto? I don't remember. Maybe because I
 liked Shinsen-gumi of Shiba Ryou[tarou]? Sorry, I'm not sure
 about this one either.

 Aoba Shigeru: Aoba is named after a ship of the former Japan
 navy. Shigeru is a spoof of the movie title "Aoba Shigereru"
 directed by Okamoto Kihachi.

 Ibuki Maya: Both Ibuki and Maya are named after a ship of the
 former Japan navy because they sounded good. Ibuki is also the
 name of the captain in "Kaette kita Ultraman," my personal
 favorite. I chose Maya because I love Takao-class heavy cruisers
 best after Yamato-class battleships.

 Suzuhara Touji: I borrowed his name from Murakami Ryuu's novel
 ["Ai to Gensou no Fascism"] I read on my friend's recommendation.

 Aida Kensuke: Also from Murakami's novel. BTW I was just
 interested in a character "Zero" in this novel, rather than the
 story about revolution and dictatorship itself.

 Horaki Hikari: Horaki also comes from Murakami's novel. Hikari,
 and her sisters Nozomi and Kodama are Tokaido Shinkansen express
 train names.

 Nagisa Kaworu: This character was named by the screenplay writer
 Satsukawa Akio. Nagisa [beach] is a name related to the sea. Also
 the kanji 'nagisa' consists of katakana SHI and kanji SHA,
 therefore he's SHISHA (angel). He said it also comes from the
 movie director Oshima Nagisa. But what is Kaworu? Sorry, I will
 ask him next time.

 Tokita [Shirou], Manda and Yasugi of episode 7 also come from
 Murakami's novel. Takahashi Nozoku of episode 11 comes from the
 name of a production manager and my friend [Takahashi Nozomu of
 Studio Ghibli. Actually Ghibli did animation work of this
 episode]. It's a in-joke by staff. Characters in episode 15 etc.
 names also follow a hidden convention. Guessing the rule might be
 fun when you have time.


3.3.5 What do the Angels' names mean?
 -------------------------------
 1st Angel: Adam
 2nd Angel: Lilith
 3rd Angel: Sachiel (water)
 4th Angel: Shamshel (day)
 5th Angel: Ramiel (thunder)
 6th Angel: Gaghiel (fish)
 7th Angel: Israfel (music)
 8th Angel: Sandalphon (embryo)
 9th Angel: Matarael (rain)
 10th Angel: Sahaquiel (sky)
 11th Angel: Ireul (fear)

 Katsuragi Misato : AO (Mitsuishi Kotono : AO)
 Ayanami Rei : unknown (Hayashibara Megumi : O)
 Soryuu Asuka Langley : O (Miyamura Yuko : O)
 Akagi Ritsuko : B (Yamaguchi Yuriko : B)
 Ikari Gendou : A (Tachiki Fumihiko : A)
 Fuyutsuki Kozo : AB (Kiyokawa Motomu : AB)


3.3.7 Where can I find out more about Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac?
 ----------------------------------------------------------
 You can try searching Google
 <http://www.google.com/search?as_q=Paul+Adrien+Maurice+Dirac> for
 information.

 (From Encyclopedia.com
 <http://www.encyclopedia.com/articlesnew/03681.html>) "Dirac,
 Paul Adrien Maurice Pronounced As: dirak , 1902-84, English
 physicist. He was educated at the Univ. of Bristol and St. John's
 College, Cambridge, and became professor of mathematics at
 Cambridge in 1932. In 1928, Dirac published a version of quantum
 mechanics that took into account the theory of relativity (see
 quantum theory). One consequence of his theory was the prediction
 of negative energy states for the electron, implying the
 existence of an antiparticle to the electron; this antiparticle,
 the positron, was discovered in 1932 by C. D. Anderson. Dirac's
 equation for the motion of a particle is a relativistic
 modification of the Schrodinger wave equation, the basic equation
 of quantum mechanics. For their work Dirac and Erwin Schrodinger
 shared the 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics. Dirac also received the
 Copley Medal of the Royal Society in 1952 for this and other
 contributions to the quantum theory, including his formulation
 (with Enrico Fermi) of the Fermi-Dirac statistics and his work on
 the quantum theory of electromagnetic radiation. He wrote The
 Principles of Quantum Mechanics (1930, 4th ed. 1958)."


3.3.8 Why do people sometimes refer to NGE as "Shin Seiki
 Evangelion"?
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 "Shin Seiki Evangelion" is the name of the Japanese series we all
 know and love. On the title frame from the series, the small
 Japanese writing above the word "Evangelion" mean "Shinseiki"
 (with the 1st character being "shin", the 2nd "sei" and the 3rd
 "ki"), and are written in Kanji. The writing under "Evangelion"
 is katakana, and it says "Evangelion". If you're wondering how
 you get a "va" in Katakana, it's an "u" with tenten followed by a
 small "a". (Though this is only ever written. When speaking,
 people say "Eba" or "Ebangerion".)

 The name used in the English speaking world is "Neon Gensis
 Evangelion" which was selected by Gainax. "Shinseiki" can be
 translated to "new century".


3.3.9 A brief note on The Lance of Longinus
 -------------------------------------
 The 'Lance of Longinus' as seen in NGE, is a huge spear shaped
 like a double helix. It was used by Ayamani to destroy the 15th
 angel, Arael. It is also necessary for Seele's version of the
 Human Completion Project. This is definitely a reference to the
 Biblical character Saint Longinus

 (Taken from Catholic Online Saints
 <http://www.catholic.org/saints/saints/longinus.html>)

 "St. Longinus is the centurion who pierced the side of Our Lord
 while He was hanging on the Cross. St. Longinus, who was nearly
 blind, was healed when some of the blood and water from Jesus
 fell into his eyes. It was then he exclaimed "Indeed, this was
 the Son of God!" [Mark 15:39]. St. Longinus then converted, Left
 the army, took instruction from the apostles and became a monk in
 Cappadocia. There he was arrested for his faith, his teeth forced
 out and tongue cut off. However, St. Longinus miraculously
 continued to speak clearly and managed to destroy several idols
 in the presence of the governor. The governor, who was made blind
 by the demons that came from the idols, had his sight restored
 when St. Longinus was being beheaded, because his blood came in
 contact with the governors' eyes. St. Longinus' relics are now in
 the church of St Augustine, in Rome. His Lance is contained in
 one of the four pillars over the altar in the Basilica of St
 Peter's in Rome."

3.3.10 Shinji's photo of Misato
 ------------------------
 The kiss mark on the photo of Misato that Shinji holds is by a
 female staff of GAINAX studio. The handwriting on the same photo
 is that of the Director himself.


3.3.11 Misato's Car
 ------------
 Misato's car is a Renault Alpine A-310 1600VE. She has 2 of these
 cars, the one in episode 1 is a modified version, with a right
 hand steering wheel and battery powered. Her second car appears
 in episode 4 (non-modified) which is left side steering and
 petrol powered. She is a car maniac and also has a number of
 other classic (in that era) cars.


3.3.12 The Geofront
 ------------
 The GeoFront is 900m high, and 6km across. Access is by car train
 and monorail.


3.3.13 The A^10 Nerve
 --------------
 The Evangelion are controlled mainly by linking with the cranial
 nerves of the pilot. Of these, the most important is this A^10
 nerve. The human brain stem has four rows of neural nuclei
 running vertically along its center, and the two outside rows of
 this arrangement are called the A nerves. Counting from the
 bottom, the tenth nerve in these rows is the A^10 nerve. The A^10
 nerve passes from the brain stem through the lower optic thalamus
 and is distributed to the sincipital portion of the cerebral
 cortex comprising most of the frontal, parietal and temporal
 lobes. It is associated with higher order brain functions such as
 memory, cognisance and the execution of movement, and with
 emotions such as anxiety, fear, happiness and pleasure. In
 addition, it is also said to play an important role in affection
 between parent and child, and between lovers. _[From the Death &
 Rebirth theatrical program, supplied by Michael Wignall]_


3.3.14 How big are the Evangelion units?
 ---------------------------------
 The official height of an Evangelion changes between 40 and 200
 meters (130-650 feet). The Evas literally change in height from
 situation to situation. The animators make them however big they
 want them to be for dramatic effect, in some cases they climb up
 buildings, in others they easily step over them.


3.3.15 What is the symbolism of the cross in Evangelion?
 -------------------------------------------------
 When assistant director Kazuya Tsurumaki was asked, at Otakon
 2001, "Can you explain the symbolism of the cross in Evangelion?"
 He replied:

 "There are a lot of giant robot shows in Japan, and we did want
 our story to have a religious theme to help distinguish us.
 Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan we thought
 it would be mysterious. None of the staff who worked on Eva are
 Christians. There is no actual Christian meaning to the show, we
 just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool. If we
 had known the show would get distributed in the US and Europe we
 might have rethought that choice."

4. Specific Questions Regarding the Movies
 =======================================


4.1. Movie Releases and Related Information
 ======================================

4.1.1 How many NGE movies are there?
 ------------------------------
 Three. "Evangelion: Death and Rebirth" (Which contains
 "Evangelion: Death" and "Evangelion: Rebirth"), "The End of
 Evangelion" (Which contains "Air", and "Magokoro o, Kimi ni"),
 and Revival of Evangelion (Contains "Evangelion: Death (True)^2",
 "Air" and "Magokoro o, Kimi ni")

 "Evangelion: Death" is some kind of "recap" of episodes 1-24.
 "Evangelion: Death (True)^2" is the third and last version (a
 "director's cut"). (about 70 minute long?)

 "Evangelion: Rebirth" is the beginning of episode 25'. (about 30
 minute long?)

 "Air" is episode 25'. (about 45 minute long)

 "Magokoro o, Kimi ni" is episode 26'. (about 45 minute long)


4.1.2 When/how are they being released outside of Japan?
 --------------------------------------------------
 The movies are being released by Manga Entertainment
 <http://www.manga.com>.

 The release date for Death and Rebirth was July 30. The release
 date of End of Evangelion is set for September 24. They're being
 released in Dub and Sub VHS and DVD formats.


4.1.3 Are episodes 25 & 26 an alternate ending to the End of
 Evangelion movie?
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 No. Episodes 25 & 26 (the ones released by ADV) are concurrent
 with the End of Evangelion movie, albeit from a different
 perspective. Episodes 25 & 26 is an ending for the characters
 within NGE, while the End of Evangelion movie is the story ending
 to NGE. They are concurrent as scenes in Episodes 25 & 26 show
 scenes in EoE.


4.1.4 Was the song, "Komm, Susser Tod" written especially for the
 movie?
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 Yes. Anno originally wrote a piece in Japanese (it is included in
 the "The End of Evangelion" CD booklet) which set the mood for
 the song. The song was meant to be subtitled in Japanese during
 the movie.



4.2. The Movie Pamphlets
 ===================

4.2.1 What is the EoE Pamphlet/Red Cross Book?
 ----------------------------------------
 The End of Evangelion - Theatrical Program is a booklet in a
 landscape A4 setting which was first sold during The End of
 Evangelion's initial theatrical run in Japan. It originally cost
 800 yen and is black except for a Red Cross stamped across the
 cover that says "The End of Evangelion"

 The booklet is divided into several sections which include
 notations from the Japanese Voice Actors, an interview with
 Deputy Director Kazuya Tsurumaki and scene summaries. It also
 includes a Production, a Commentary and a Glossary section which
 were by far the most interesting because they talked about why
 the films were made and what went on during their production.

 The information within The End of Evangelion - Theatrical Program
 is considered official and canon because the booklet was approved
 as accurate by the Gainax staff of Evangelion. This is one of the
 only instances where we have heard Gainax's direct words on the
 different mysteries of Neon Genesis Evangelion and is considered
 by fans to be the one true Gospel.

 [Michael Wignall's preface to Bochan_Bird's translation
 <http://everything2.com/?node=The+End+of+Evangelion+-+Theatrical+
 Program>]



4.3. Questions With Movie Spoilers
 =============================

4.3.1 Is Lilith's soul in Rei?
 ------------------------
 Yes. The most obvious indicator is when Rei returns to Lilith.

 Rei: "Tadaimai" ("I'm back")
 Lilith: "Okaerinasai" ("Welcome home")

 There is also the Rei Ayanami passage in the EoE theatrical
 program which states: "The First Children, and dedicated pilot of
 Eva-00. A young girl who apparently lacks emotions. Her body was
 created from the salvaged remains of Yui Ikari after Yui was
 taken into the Eva, and numerous Rei clones were then prepared in
 Terminal Dogma so that when one Rei dies she can be replaced by
 another. The present Rei is the third. The first was killed by
 Dr. Naoko Akagi, and the second died in battle against the 16th
 Angel. Although the personalities of these three Reis differ from
 one another, this is due to environmental factors. Their soul is
 one and the same, and it appears to have been that of Lilith. At
 the final stage of the Instrumentality Project, Rei betrayed
 Gendou Ikari, returned to Lilith of her own judgment and
 entrusted the future to Gendou's son - Shinji Ikari. Birth date:
 unknown."

 So that states directly that Rei has Lilith's soul. (Taken from a
 post by Michael Wignall)


4.3.2 What are the white and black moons?
 -----------------------------------
 The White moon is a cavity in the Arctic where Adam was found (by
 the Katsuragi expedition). In the redone episode 21 we see a
 subterranean scan of the Arctic which shows the White Moon. The
 Black Moon is the Geofront (where the Pyramid and NERV reside).
 The white moon is where Adam was found, and the Black Moon is
 where Lilith was found (though never stated, it is a logical
 assumption), the Black Moon has also been called "Lilith's Egg"
 in the EoE movie.


4.3.3 Where was Lilith found?
 -----------------------
 It is assumed that Lilith was found inside the partially filled
 Geofront ("Black Moon").


4.3.4 Are Rei and Shinji having sex in the "Sea of LCL" scene?
 --------------------------------------------------------
 No. Since Rei is just sitting there at most they could be having
 symbolic intercourse, which would be representing a union.


4.3.5 Who are the 3 women seen standing during the live action
 scene?
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 You can see Asuka (Miyamura Yuko), Misato (Mitsuishi Kotono) and
 Rei (Hayashibara Megumi).

 "These scenes are excerpts of what the live action sequence of
 episode 26' was supposed to be. Anno couldn't make it correctly
 (for reasons I'm not aware of), so all we can see is a few live
 shots of Tokyo and the one you noticed with "Rei", "Asuka" and
 "Misato", with Shinji and Rei talking in background." (From a
 post by Olivier Hague)


4.3.6 Are Shinji and Asuka left to repopulate the world?
 --------------------------------------------------
 Not really. As Rei said, "As long as your heart can imagine your
 own shape, everyone can return to the human form." And then Yui
 said, "Don't worry, every single life-form has the power to
 return to their original form. Every life-form has the power to
 live." This suggests that everyone is able to return to earth
 when they want to. It has been suggested that Shinji and Asuka
 are just the first to return.


4.3.7 Is the final scene dream or reality?
 ------------------------------------
 The final scene, of Shinji and Asuka on the beach, is reality.
 Originally it was planned to be longer showing the graves of the
 people who had died. This would have shown that a reasonable
 amount of time had passed.


4.3.8 What was going on with Gendou's hand in the beginning of ep
 26'?
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 Gendou had Adam embedded into his hand.


4.3.9 Why is Shinji strangling Asuka at the end?
 ------------------------------------------
 We don't know how long either of them were there on the beach, we
 don't know how long Shinji may have been alone in the world, and
 we don't really know if Asuka just happened to materialize during
 that scene, or if she had returned sometime earlier. At any rate,
 if Shinji returned to an empty world, even if for a few days, the
 feeling of being the only person left in the world can be a very
 disturbing though. With Shinji, that thought would be even more
 disturbing, especially if he began to blame himself for TI. We've
 seen how fragile both Shinji's and Asuka's psyches can be. It may
 not take much to push Shinji over the edge, into a state of mild
 psychosis. Anno does give some clues that Shinji had been back on
 Earth for some time, but there's no solid evidence to show how
 long he'd been there. And we don't see Asuka return per se, so
 she may have been with Shinji for some time.

5. Fan-Art, Fan-Fiction and Hentai
 ===============================

5.1 Where can I get Evangelion fanfiction?
 --------------------------------------
 There is a lot of Evangelion fanfiction. The following sites are
 considered by regulars to be some of the best on the net: -
 Evangelion:R <http://www.eva-r.com> - Asuka's Notebook
 <http://aterizak.free.fr/an/site/english/index.html> - Disaster's
 Fanfiction <http://www.disfanfic.net>. Or you could try the Anime
 Web Turnpike these are all to be found on the links pages.

 A good archive of fan fics can be found at the r.a.a.c ftp site.
 <ftp://ftp.cs.ubc.ca/pub/archive/anime-fan-works>


5.2 Where can I get NGE Fan Art?
 ----------------------------
 There are many sites on the Internet. A quick search should turn
 up a number of them. Disaster's website
 <http://www.disfanfic.net> has a large number of pictures of Rei.


5.3 Where can I get Evangelion images?
 ----------------------------------
 You could try searching the Anime Web Turnpike. Take note that
 Gainax, the producers of Evangelion, have published a list of
 images that they approve for website use, so if that's your aim
 it might be useful to visit Gainax's site for more info.


5.4 Where can I get Anime Music Videos?
 -----------------------------------
 Many file sharing networks host anime music videos, including
 Evangelion ones.

 Some you can try are:
 * Direct Connect <http://www.neo-modus.com>
 * Kazza Lite <http://www.kazaalite.com>

 Some web sites you can try:
 * Anime Music Videos <http://animemusicvideos.org>
 * Doki Doki Productions <http://www.fiction.org/www/ddp/>
 * Aluminum Studios <http://www.aluminumstudios.net>

 But there are many others, so try searching the web.

 Tessai's FTP server also has some videos.


5.5 Fan Fiction lingo
 -----------------
 There are number of words or acronyms which are used in relation
 to fan created fiction (FanFics). Here are a few:

 Lime - Sometimes called lemon scented. These fanfics make passing
 references to sex or sexuality. Nothing too strong, but they may
 suggest things...

 Lemon - This usually means were will be sex scenes depicted. It
 does not mean that this is a full porno, but it is for adult
 readers.

 ACC - Author Created Character(s). This means that the author has
 created a character and used them in the story. This is usually
 seen when the author is writing in a well known Anime universe
 but has included a new character.

 SI - Self Insertion. This means that the author has written
 themself into their story. This is usually seen when the author
 is writing in a well known Anime universe but has included
 theirself, often as the hero.



5.6. Hentai, Ecchi, Etc
 ==================

5.6.1 Where can I get NGE Hentai?
 ---------------------------
 Like most successful anime, Evangelion does contain it's own
 underground of Hentai (pornographic images/movies/manga). You
 will find no Hentai in this site. There is a "well known" (or
 infamous) Eva Hentai video, this is available to download from
 Tessai's FTP site.


5.6.2 What's the difference between hentai/ecchi/doujinshi/etc?
 ---------------------------------------------------------
 When David Watson was asked on RAAM <news:rec.arts.anime.misc>
 "What exactly is the difference between hentai and ecchi anime?"
 his answer was: "If a Japanese woman calls you an ecchi, you
 still have a chance with her. If a Japanese woman calls you a
 hentai, forget about it."

 "Hentai" means "pervert". "Ecchi" is the Japanese pronunciation
 of the letter H (for "Hentai").
