''[['''Neon Genesis Evangelion: R]]''''', also known as ''Evangelion R'' or simply ''Eva-R'', is an [[Alternate Universe Fic]] that diverges shortly before the [[Trippy Finale Syndrome|controversial ending]]. Released originally in the late 1990s, it was eventually [[Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition|republished on another site in the early 2000s]], with an enhanced look and style. It's also somewhat unique for its use of [[Doing It for the Art|concept art, doujinshi, a partial soundtrack, and even two animated trailers]] (featuring some of the English voice cast in original recordings) alongside the usual script format.
 
It's also slightly less favorably known for [[Wanton Cruelty to the Common Comma|its abuse of]] [[Uncomfortable Elevator Moment|ellipses (...)]].
Line 77:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Aoi, at the end of ''Prime''.}}
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Ritsuko, naturally, but also Maya this time around.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: How {{spoiler|Aoi}} sees humanity.
* [[Incest Is Relative]]: [[Averted Trope|Averted]], as Shinji's attraction to Rei is implied to have come to a very abrupt halt following his discovery of her true nature. Made worse when Rei recovers some of Yui's memories.
* [[Just Friends]]: Al-Samkari's interpretation of the [[Ho Yay|Kaworu/Shinji subtext]].
Line 96:
** Tenkei is also Japanese for "heaven" and, given the amount of [[Contemplate Our Navels|navel contemplating]] and [[God in Human Form]] overtones the kid has, that's probably intentional.
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] with "Ikari" from the original series, where Lyn notices that the kanji for "wrath" is pronounced "i-ka-ri."
** {{spoiler|Aoi's angel name, Malachi, is likely also meaningful ([[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|unless it's not]]). Malachi was the last of the [[The Bible|biblical]] prophets, [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|who waxed on about how humanity had grown sinful]] and would soon be purged from the Earth. [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Sound familiar]]?}}
* [[Medium Blending]]: Part script, part animated, part recorded music, and part manga. There also supposedly used to a [[Radio Drama]] version, but [[Nivenus|ThisTroper]] has yet to see or hear of it.
* [[Mega Corp]]: UN Synaps, sort of. They're actually (as their name indicates), a branch of the United Nations, but they act in a way that is very reminiscent of a [[Mega Corp]] and are treated as such within the context of the story.
