>.<;;; They're not Mechas!!! Their living, biological genetic creations imprisioned within robotic armor to control their volital natures, and infused with the spirits of dead women/dummy souls copied from the 17th Angel Tabris.
Yesh, I believe that's where the dummy-plugs got their 'soul' from for the mass-produced EVAs. It's been a while since I watched it myself, but it left an impression on me (which was apparently obvious in my 'meaning of life' rant. The series also made me more appreciative of boundaries as a means of definition, rather than strict obstacles to 'freedom'. I can't discuss the matter in classes or the like with out picturing Shinji floating in a field of white.)
I had a professor here at USC that actually tried to *instruct* us in Evangelion, but as he was an ass and didn't even watch the series the whole way through, he severly butchered his interpretation of it and *insisted* on discussing the EVAs as pure machines, y'know, even though they have things like teeth and eyeballs and the BLEED!!!
Wow, that's pretty avant-garde. I almost wrote a philosophy paper on it, but decided our conservative professor probably can't handle it. Although I'm not sure which is better, not given a chance to discuss it in an academic sense, or having the professor butcher the series.
Considering he thus abused it to the malleable intellects of some 15+ students who'd never seen it before and would prefer to just swallow what the prof. says, hook-line-and-sinker than to think for themselves... I think the prof. butchering it was worse.

In other words, yes I've seen it. ^_^
