This line just amuses me given the obvious influences.
Quote:"Well, look. I appreciate that you blatantly lied to me about
everything, but I am too intelligent to fall for that, and we both know
that my creator was a seriously crazy bitch who wants me to kill you.
And we both said things you're going to regret. But, we have to be
focused on the here and now. And right now, I think, really think,
there's going to be a lot less talking."
It bends forward. The
locks on its jaw tear, revealing row after row of serrated teeth.
"And
a lot more murder."

I think that the comment about Shinji's sword being completely unmagical and ordinary, but still cutting things really, really well, is a reference to "Guards, Guards" by Terry Pratchett. I think it's how Carrot Ironfoundersson's sword is described.

And the updates are coming thick and fast: Chapter 62 is up, wherein Yui finds herself unable to hold onto the moral high-ground, Hikari has a new pet, Shinji and Asuka make me feel all warm inside, and Mana has some, uh... interesting cybernetic attachments.

And now Chapter 63, in which convention hijinks occur, Kaworu FINALLY gets a clue (as well as getting... other things), and... well.
Unit 3 is activated.
Has there ever been an Evafic where that didn't go horribly wrong?

I am honestly curious as to where ND is going with regards to Yui. We've been seeing a lot more of her negative sides in recent chapters and a lot of her authority/superiority has been suspected, challenged or outright subverted.

I rather love the use of the Cherubim's catch phrase there, even if it's slightly done wrong due to a missing word in the middle. The use of the first line there got a wonderful "Oh...fuck." reaction out of me.

Also, discovered by a little side trip, apparently Shadowjack also reads Nobody Dies.
And there's this little gem:

It's just shown up in the main ND thread on Space Battles, so he'll see it when he gets back to the net in a few days.

Knowing Greg, that won't be long in coming. I expect that Misato will be the first.

As if Misato weren't badass enough already, now she's freaking piloting Go-Kun. Favorite moment of this chapter by far.

Chapter 65
Shit, meet fan.
Do NOT open if you haven't read the chapter.
I am the Arm of God.
Angel of Might.
The first pieces of debris burn, entering the atmosphere of Earth as the Angel follows.
I am Zeruel.
And the fire embraces him as he too begins his descent to Earth.
I have come. -----

Well, we've well and truly screwed the Eva canon over now. :lol:
That said, damn you, Gregg. The cliffhanger. IT BURNZZZZZ US.

And finally, a moment of Cosmic Justice (spoiler-colored juuuust in case):
Misato Katsuragi finally gets to take on an Angel. Not by directing Children against it, not by proxy or at one remove, but as close-up and hands-on as it's possible for a human being to get (ie, piloting an EVA). And It. Is. Awesome. I could easily forgive this series for all its multitudinous sins for this one scene alone, if I hadn't already.
New NERV motto: Misato Katsuragi has Kicked Angel Ass, and all is Right With The World.
AMEN.

New chapter is up, wherein Rei apes Doctor Weird and something huge is learned about Ichi.
