In the background we see Rei and Kaworu which in their palm holding the black moon and the earth respectively. Jan/Feb we have Rei in this nice purple/pink dress with a glowing background which reminds me of the Chinese legend of the Princess the flew to the moon. March/Apr we have Misato laying on the nice hard wood floor with a nice green soft drink (?) in front of her. BTW, Misato is wearing her usual black one piece dress but without the jacket. May/June we have Rei once again dressed in the over size man dress shirt. In the back is the window with glowing light come from behind. July/Aug we have Kaworu holding a water bubble and Shinji is partially inside the water bubble. Sep/Oct we have Asuka (!!!!YES!!!!) in her usual sun dress (but it's blood red color instead) with her hair flying in some very funky background. My fav so far. Nov/Dec we have both Asuka and Rei both in bed in a comfortable position. I especially like Asuka semi-see-through dress.... ^_^;;;; -- Calendar-CD 1999 (CDC04) Encased in clear plastic CD case, concertina folded. Contains 14 colour images.

Merchandise. Now incorporated into the Evangelion English Mailing List Merchandising FAQ. The Merchandising FAQ (also known as the EVA MFAQ) was created on March 22, 1999.) This section had become the largest sized section in the Evangelion English Mailing List FAQ (known as the FAQ) and was separated to create its own document. The charter for this document is to contain entries of merchandise related to the Japanese animated TV series "Neon Genesis Evangelion". The definition of "merchandise" are items designed to promote the series and/or offered for retail sale. This document is posted to the mailing list in the middle of the month by the editor. Section 5. Spoilers Each question is marked by the episode that it spoils. If you have not watched up to that episode I strongely advice against reading the spoiler. Part of the enjoyment of EVA is to watch the complex plot unfold, and several people has expressed regret being spoiled some major points in the plot (which below has). 5.0) What is the Instrumentality of Men project? Gendou's main responsibility is said to be the Instrumentality of Men project instead of the Evangelion project in ep.??. Incidentally, the phrase "Instrumentality of Men" is attributed to Anno himself. [Translation note: '"Instrumentality of Mankind"? Yes, "Instrumentality of Mankind" was translated to "JinRui Hokan Kikou" in Japanese. 'When Literal Translation Project started translating EVANGELION, I translated "JinRui Hokan Keikaku" as "Instrumentality of Mankind Project." Later, ANNO himself revealed it must be translated to "Instrumentality of Man Project". (Well, sounds like politically-incorrect... )' - Takeuchi Shouichi] 5.0.1) Is the Instrumentality of Mankind Third Impact? (* What was to be achieved by Seele and by NERV/Gendou appear to be two different things. Throughout the series there are many examples where Seele is dissatisfied with the progress and performance of NERV and Gendou. What is certainly known is that during the TV series Instrumentality is part of the tasks alloted to NERV. In the TV series it was never explained what Seele's ultimate objective is. In the films the objective appears to force the Third Impact, by force if not via the cooperation of NERV, by using EVA and the Spear of Longinus. Seele seeks to force the evolution of man by destroying mankind. Gendou has an alternate method of forcing Third Impact, through Lilith and Rei. Both seem at cross purposes to Complementation, as shown on TV episodes 25 & 26, especially with the conclusion of of the films. (* The following is an explanation of what the Complementation of the Instrumentality of Man is. (* Text by Ernest Ng -- What was sought to be achieved was Complementation by the Instrumentality of Man (see TV episode 25). The Complementation was to be the filling of the vacuum in our minds to remove anxiety and fear. This would be done by removing AT Fields so that people could openly discuss and master their fears (as is seen in TV episodes 25 & 26 by Misato et al guiding Shinji to his revelation). Thus, "Complementation" was to be achieved through the means or "Instrumentality of (open discussion with) Man". Hope you can all understand that - I didn't explain it well. That's how I see it anyway. Ernest_Ng@proctors.com.au -- 5.1) Who is Yui, and what is her connection to EVA-01? (ep.21) Ikari Yui is Shinji's mother. In ep.21 we learned she was a student in the University where Fuyutsuki worked as a Professor. She was a test pilot of EVA-01, and died while in an experiment involving it. ("As I wished," said Naoko, Ritsuko's mother and inventor of MAGI.) No detail of the accident is told. However in ep.20 Ritsuko said she didn't invent the pilot salvage process (concerning the 400% synchro incident), that it was used 10 years ago but failed. Combine with the fact that Shinji has lived away from Gendou for 10 years, there is a strong hint that Yui was absorbed into EVA-01 much like what happened to Shinji in ep.20. There are other hints to this end; EVA-01 has moved several times by itself, without external power, to protect Shinji. In the manga, Shinji encounters an unknown female figure while unconcious in EVA-01. There was some suspicion after the disapperance of Yui that her husband may have intentionally caused her death: in Ep. 21 newspaper headlines are shown. The headlines read: ~The Dark Side of the UN: Corruption in Secret Organization! ~Secret UN Organization: Bio-medicine's Scientific Sanctuary ~The AEL- What is the secret of the Dead Sea Scrolls? Artificial Evolution Laboratory ~University Faction in Dispute ~Cozy Relationship with Some Corporations ~Gene Manipulation? ~Terrifying Bio-Hazard! ~Technology to Invade the Arena of... Terror! ~One Reported Dead ~DEATH ~...for... ...research... Yui Ikari, age 27, became the victim of... ... incompetence in the laboratory... ~Careless miss? ~Human Experimentation? ...human negligence... DNA Inforamtion ~Runaway Effect ~Expected Danger ~Former Co-researcher ~Bribe! ~Gendo Ikari is sued... ~Genom Biology ~Supreme Court Verdict of Innocent for... ~Lack of Morals... ~Technology of God During these headlines, the following subtitles are seen: "That's Right! He may be guilty of killing his own wife." "He killed his own wife." "No! Mother was... smiling." 5.2) What happened to Shinji when he was small? (ep.21) He witnessed Yui's fatal accident, and "ran away" from NERV and his father. Probably as a result of this and Yui's death, Rei is recruited as a pilot. In the earlier episodes he has no recollection of this. We were made to assume that Gendou abandoned him to work on his project. Shinji finally remembers in ep.(20? 21?). I don't think this justifies what Gendou does to his son, but that's a different question. 5.3) What happened to Asuka's parents? (ep.22) (* Her mother got into an accident while test piloting an EVA (EVA-02?) and become insane. She thought a doll was Asuka and ignored the real Asuka. She was shown to have "killed" the doll and then committed suicide in ep.22, which Asuka discovered. As a result, Asuka hates dolls and Rei, who she thinks is passive "like a doll". There are several hints that Asuka's mother suffered the same fate as Yui Ikari, that is she was also absorbed in the same type of experiment, but in her case was retrieved, but went insane. In the films it is shown that she "exists" in Eva Unit-02. (* Asuka's father remarried and her step mom gave her a call from Germany in ep.22. 5.4) What is the big deal about Rei? (major spoiler ep.23, 24) Rei is a clone, in the sense that there are multiple copies of her body. She is probably cloned from Yui Ikari (the RCB states that Rei was derived from the remains of Yui after the accident in 2005), and Lillith, the being crucified in the Terminal Dogma. She was said to process some Angel-like characteristics: She has red eyes, and Kaoru said to her "We are alike." in ep.24. It was hinted that she generated an A.T.Field in ep.24. She was somehow connected with Yui: They look alike, which Naoko noticed in ep.23, and Shinji commented "I feel she is like (a) mother" in ep.?? and again "so, that feeling was right after all" in ep.23. The only people who definitely knew, prior to ep.23, was Gendou, Ritsuko, and Maya (hence her comment of dummy plugs being "inhumane" in episode 14). Fuyutsuki probabaly knows also. Rei is instrumental to the completion of Gendou's plans in the films. Gendou planned to unite Rei, Lilith- and himself- to complete his version of the Third Impact. Instead, Rei rejected Gendou and unites with Lilith alone, becoming a deity, and giving Shinji the option to decide. (* There is only 1 "operational" Rei in any given moment in the TV series. The rest of the bodies are said (by Ritsuko in ep.23) to possess no "soul" and are just "spare parts" to the dummy plugs and the real Rei. It seems that it is possible to transfer her soul to another body in the event of her death, which happened twice in the series. The first Rei was killed (strangled) by Naoko. The incident was shown in ep.21. The second Rei sacrificed herself to save Shinji in ep.23. 5.5) Why is everybody talking about the last two episodes? (ep.25 & 26) Mostly likely that it did not make a satisfying ending and it confused many viewers. It did not give much of a conclusion just a lot of philsophy. Of course, some people liked 25 & 26. 5.7) What is LCL? LCL, the fluid that Evangelion pilots breath whilst in the entry plug, is the liquid that issues out of Lillith. According to End Of Evangelion, when the Third Impact takes place, human matter dissolves into LCL. This, of course, brings up several interpretations of what LCL is, something that is beyond the charter for the FAQ. 5.8) What is the RCB?

The RCB is produced and edited by Studio Yuu under the supervision of Gainax/EVA Production Committee. Studio Yuu is listed in End of Evangelion as Promotion Assitance, and the copyright to RCB is owned by of Gainax/EVA Production Committee. It's a fair guess that the RCB can be considered as canon. 5.9) Why does Rei's image appear in front of Shinji in episode 1? This appers early on in the episode. Shinji has just arrived in Tokyo-3, just as the population has retreated to shelters as the Third Angel attacks. As Shinji tries to ring Misato and find out why she isn't there to pick him up, he turns and sees Rei's image suddenly appear. He turns away momentarily, and when he turns back, it's gone. This incident is never referred to again in the series, leaving this a true mystery. At the end of the film End of Evangelion Rei appears in the same way that she appeared at the beginning of the TV series; in other words, she is the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega. 5.10) Why does Shinji's Plug Suit appear when he disappears completely into EVA Unit 1 in episode 20? When Shinji disappears into EVA Unit 1 (episodes 19/20) he's wearing his school uniform. Later on in 20, his plug suit appears. Some have considered this to be a continuity error on the part of Gainax. The following line is the only piece of information that refers directly to plug suits: Ritsuko: All of the materials which formed Shinji-kun are kept in the plug. What is called his soul exits there. In fact, his ego image gives pseudosubstance to his plugsuit. An interpretation of this line means that when a pilot operates an EVA Unit, his or her body can disintegrate. The plug suit is used to keep the physical body together so that the pilot can be retrieved intact. It can be then surmised that the plan to retrieve Shini involves collecting his substance and reordering it using the plug suit. Patrick Yip has noted though that the line spoken by Ritsuko does not exist in the original script. It has been theorised that there was an error of animation continuity which was caught before the episode was completed. The line was included to explain the inconsistency. Bochan Bird theorises that Shinji's physical form was instead turned into LCL. If this is true, then his clothes were also absorbed (it's not seen in the plug.) In End of Evangelion, when people are turning into LCL near the end of the film, their clothes are left behind! Now to err once could be explained as a mistake; to make the same mistake twice (albeit from different directions) could be construed as carelessness. Whilst the LCL theory seems viable it would seem that the reasons why Shinji is absorbed in 20 and why people turn into LCL are both different; having made a mistake with one set of continuity why would Gainax make it again in the film. 5.11) Is the term "Children" a deliberate use? According to a Evangelion date/address book, as Rei was not one child, but several identical clone children, she was referred to as the "First Children." It is surmised that to protect/hide this information, following Evangelion pilots were referred to as the "n-th Children". --------------------------------------------------------------------------- EVA FAQ ver.0.6.2 Written by Stephen Lee.
