Ardonius-Servant-Of-Zeta 2008-04-29 ch 12,	abuseGah, just re-read this having not done so in awhile. Funny how I completely forgot the whole thing- thats my lifestyle for you. Anyway I have a couple of points of advice. First, your 'unimportants' are a little generic. You don't want McAnime characters cluttering you. My point being that as Shinji's entire class if full of potential EVA pilots, it would make sense that many of them are not your usual ** peeps, but a little more unusual. Certainly some of them are given to 'ah i love you!" or whatnot, but honestly we all know how few people have those kinds of guts. You need half-insane people like me for that. I forgot the rest of my advice, but hey I have something nice to say! Your manipulation of religion/angels/demons thing is high grade, I'll give you a 8/9 out of ten. Hard to say for sure, but I suppose I'll see next chapter. Heres to your success. Cheers. (I dedicate this blunt to you)
Lord of Demise 2008-03-30 ch 13,	abuseWell, you have my attention. Keep up this work to the finish. I've been waiting awhile for it.
NeonProdigy 2008-03-10 ch 13,	abuseYou know, I can remember reading this story several years ago, and it was one of the very few good SI fics EVER. This has not changed. I eagerly await the next chapter.
KeiGinya 2008-02-26 ch 13,	abuseAck! Evil cliffie.
Babel Matrix 2008-02-24 ch 13,	abuseA lovely, lovely work, pristine and polished, even with the text formatting. An A , through and through, and I do hope you write more soon!
Pusakuronu 2008-02-24 ch 13,	abuseIt's nice to see this continued. Interesting deviation from the original series in this chapter
Mia 2008-02-24 ch 4, anon.	abuseI snorted 7-Up through my nose (an unpleasant experience) when Emi revealed in the 2nd chapter that her parallel universe theory came from AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS, and RITSUKO, of all people, TOOK HER SERIOUSLY. I'm sorry, but that was incredibly stupid. The first few chapters of the plot required too much suspension of disbelief on the reader's part, while the later chapters were relatively uninspired rewrites of the series itself. Character interactions were superficial and skin-deep. "Red," "Blue", "Ace", Ritsuko's "Emi-chan" et al began to grate on my nerves after the third time or so.
skywiseskychan 2008-02-20 ch 12,	abuseHmm, I had to go back in time to review this last update. Let me say first, YAY, an update. I've been waiting for this for... quite some time. Secondly I'm ecstatic that you are going to continue and hopefully finish it. Now onto the chapter itself. It was pretty good. Lacking a bit of the earlier humor but I can see how the arc seems to be heading that direction. I do think its interesting how you have decided to split the storyline from that which we the readers understand it which I hope is only going to be for this very short period as I think the ability to empathize with Emi is a very important aspect.
Dartz 2008-02-19 ch 13, anon.	abuseYo Got a nice surprise to see this in the old mail inbox the other day. Only just getting around to it though, what with college pressures and all that. Well, we've got a fair bit happening in this one chapter. There's the promise of a fascinating scene in a future chapter with Misato and Kaji, which really drags the reader along and makes them want to read the next chapter, and the one after that, just to find out what it is. That is something I really do like about your writing, is that you leave tantalizing hints as to what might come in the future. The result of the tenth angel had been foreshadowed properly maybe two chapters beforehand. We pretty much knew it was coming, but we wanted to see it happen, and how it happens. Damned if I can't quite get then knack of it. Anyway, I look forward to the next update...whenever it comes. -Dartz.
jcmoorehead 2008-02-19 ch 13,	abuseWow an update to this finally, started reading this well over a year ago before I even started Conspiracy. Great thing to see this back, was a great read then and I imagine the continuation will be just as great. Can't wait to see more.
Setana 2008-02-17 ch 13, anon.	abuseOH THANK GIANT WHITE REI. I thought this fic was long dead, and you made a ** day FANTASTIC. I'm begging you not to wait so long on future updates, though I suppose one must pay a price for quality. But seriously, at this rate you'll be done by... 2014?
Jupiah 2008-02-17 ch 13,	abuseExcellent story. Easily the best self-insert I've ever read - it feels more like a crossover than a SI. And not one sign of the dreaded Mary Sue, unless you count the strange lack of angst. Seriously, Emi sure took getting murdered amazingly well. The Fox-Broome theory of parallel worlds? Mysterious dream conversations with angels? Implying that the SI is some kind of dormant angel that took the guise of a mortal? Pure genius. Best explanation for a SI ever. I really appreciate how you make the dimension-hop and body-switch feel more like a scientific event purpetrated by mysterious otherworldly beings for their own reasons, rather than a fanboy's wet-dream come true with no logical explanation. I have to wonder why Emi doesn't seem to be actively trying to change things, however. Evangelion doesn't exactly have a happy ending. I'd be doing everything in my power to try to change things for the better, or at least worrying/angsting over the fact that I can't change anything. Also, why hasn't Gendo interrogated Emi yet? Surely he wants to know everything she knows about the future? Great job on the fight with Sahaquiel. One of the biggest problems with Evangelion self-inserts is that the battles will always happen essentially the same, and the new pilot will either do nothing, which makes him/her look stupid and cowardly, or he/she makes the angel fights so much easier that a lot of the drama is lost. Either that, or the new pilot will mess everthing up, which is annoying. Unless the pilot is incompetent, having more soldiers should give you an advantage. You solved this neatly by simply toughening the angel up a bit, allowing them to put up more of a fight. The new pilot gets to actually contribute to the fight, without rehashing canon, and the reader gets to enjoy seeing some original scenes. Just don't let Emi steal the show in every fight!
James Rei's Gaurdian 2008-02-17 ch 13,	abuseWOW! I really like this story. I am aslo pleased to find someone that is as dedicated as you to keep a story going from 2002. I was hoping that you would start to reveal some of your forgone knowledge of events to the other characters.
Midnight6 2008-02-17 ch 13,	abuseHeh, seems I'm not the only one coming back from the dead. Tis the season for resurrections. Welcome back, and you still have your usual touch.
Brobomb 2008-02-16 ch 8, anon.	abuse... That was about as confusing as the end of EoE.
