On a side note: Mmmm knockdown drag out fight ftw.
Shinji: I sort of got this vibe from the first four chapters, but now it's there in full force. His thoughts and Ritsuko's constant work on him leads me to believe that there is quite a bit of horror in store for him. His self deprication fits in real well, as well as his worrying about what everyone else thinks about him. Growing relationship with Rei, convincing shrinking one with Asuka, I was glad that at least Misato is happy to have him back.
As you said, he did feel like a bit like a new character, though he is still good ol' Shinji. With the description, I can almost think he is meant to physically embody another red eyed, gray haired fourteen year old. One born on the date of Second Impact...I think there is quite a bit of intrigue coming with him, and I'm going to go straight into the next two chapters after I finish this review, in order to find out.
Asuka: Her hatred of dolls, mixed with her dislike of Rei and her anger at Shinji for beating the fourteenth angel when she couldn't, combines to make a very belieavable pissed off redhead. I can almost see, convincingly, a fic where Shinji really does become very similar to Rei. Followed by other characters, until Asuka is the only one left. Perhaps a convincing zombie like fic, if there has ever been one for Eva, though I can already see a few character bashing issues coming up. Still, it gives a very good feel.
Characterization is a great plus. Ritsuko was excellent in earlier chapters, and I think Shinji and Asuka have been excellent in these two. Rei and Misato have been solid as well, both very believable and IC. A good conversation with Kensuke, and some with Hikari.
Writing wise: Top form. Not much I can really comment on. Chapter lengths are actually about my preferred length, so I won't complain about that at all. Flow and transitions feel strong as well.
Overall: I really loved these two chapters. Definately feeling a bit better about the fic now. I have no idea why I didn't read it all in one sitting, I wish I had. A bit slow, perhaps, when I read most fics very quickly. Still, worth it in the long run. This has taken off now, and I'm anxious to see where it goes.
Off to read the next two.
EvSoc Reviewer: Himonky-You know where to find us...wherever the hell we end up at.
Keep writing. You know I'll keep reading.
