Talk:Splitting of the Breast

Missing episode

It should be noted that "Splitting of the Breast" is the only episode of the series whose original 16mm materials (the ones used for the production of the episodes) are missing, thus the Blu-Ray releases use an upconverted SD video scan of a 35mm internegative.

Dunno if this info should be added in the Reception section or in a newly created Home media section. Mayimbú (talk) 02:51, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. I wish I added this information before. I'll search for primary sources too. Thank you again.--TeenAngels1234 (talk) 23:02, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

I'll be reviewing the article.Tintor2 (talk) 21:57, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Comments

Lead

• I managed to understand the lead without any problem.

Plot

• Since this is the first mention of the plot outside the lead it might be necessary to explain what do Shinji and Asuka pilot and introduce the plot into the body.
• "The other Evangelion units retreat." where do they retreat?

Production

• I'm kinda confused here. Can "Splitting of the Breast" be explained in the first paragraph?

Development

• This lacks an introduction Rei Ayanami
• "Japanese architect Yasutaka Yoshimura compared Leliel's design with Bridget Riley's work Fragment 5.[39]" This kinda comes across as trivial
• "which is used in the sixth episode "Rei II"." Sounds kinda trivial

Reception

• needs introduction sentences to the paragraphs as well as connectors between reviewers to avoid a "X said that. Y that that" and instead "X said that which Y agreed with"

@TeenAngels1234: That's all for now. Good work.Tintor2 (talk) 00:09, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

@Tintor2: Okay. Thank you. I think I've fixed everything. I just wanted to keep a brief mention of the fact that "Decisive Battle" has been used before, and Yoshimura's comparison with Riley's Fragment: although unfortunately there are no images here on WP or WC as far as I can say, it's IMHO worth-mentioning a work from OP art that resembles Leliel's pattern - I'm not sure Gainax actually used it as a reference, but who knows. What confuses you about Production? There's a particular sentence or question that it's not clear that I should fix?--TeenAngels1234 (talk) 08:22, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
