>>2326301>and a loudspeaker is in itself much less complexBecause the defining aspect of Evangelion is its simplicity, am I right? Anno doing something complex ju8st doesn't fit, eh?
>It is more likely to be a loudspeaker because they are established as opposed to something you just invented out of nowhere.Listen to the voices in this clip from Eva episode 26

>As for why the others don't react, why would they?Because it's what people do. They react. Watch just Sakura in that scene. Her actions are perfectly consistent with only hearing Shinji and not Rei.
>telepathic abilities does not a Rei Ayanami make. So even if it is telepathy or whatever, it's still not Rei on that basis alone.If Rei could mentally speak with anyone then you'd be right. The point Anno is making in Rebuild 3 is a specific link between Rei and Shinji.
I give you an A for effort but Anno gave too many clues. The choices were deliberate. The scenes of Rei getting Shinji at the start and the dropped music player at the end were written around the point of letting us know it is Rei.
