Is Rei Ayanami's hair a natural azure?
Richard Qunt
Ayanami. Do you think that her hair is naturally blue, or does she dye it?
It begs the qestion as to whether Rei's hair in 'other places' is that
colour too - whether the carpet matches the curtains, so to speak?

I can see where you are deriving your question from but that is the nature
of anime. We might as well ask if Trunks dyes his hair because he is the
only person, besides his mother and sister, in that world with an
"unnatural" hair color. But then we have to ask what is natural?
I understand the reasoning behind non-natural hair colors in animes. . . or
at least I believe that I do. As I recall, from several years ago when I
first started watching anime, in an attempt to make characters different
from one another the branch of different color hairs were used. The blacks
turned to blues and greens and purples since if everyone had raven hair then
it would start to get somewhat hard to tell some people apart....
At least this is the way it was explained to me. . . I could very well be
wrong and if so, I beg of someone to correct my mis-assumption. . .

In this case I think it's genetic. His grandfather has the same hair color.

Yup. I've just come to assume that all these unusual hair colors that are
totally unnatural in real life are perfectly normal and natural in anime
worlds.

I believe someone else made the point here that there is a genetic aspect
here. I remember watching some episode of DBZ (I guess it was Z) where
Vegeta was complaining that the time travelling Trunks couldn't be a
Saiyan because all Saiyans have black hair and he has blonde hair. He
must have gotten it from his mother then. But anyway, I thought I'd
comment about that since it's something I did remember seeing in the show.

I'm no expert either, but from what I've heard/read and my understanding
of that stuff, you're basically right except that it started with the
printed manga rather than TV/movie animation. The main characters were
given different hair colors to make them stand out from each other and
so that readers could easily tell them apart. So, as I recall, you
ended up with hair of basically three colors -- black, white (so blonde
I guess), and something in between that would be grey-ish in black and
white print (red hair? brown?). I guess the same general concept holds
now even with anime where the different hair colors provide a fast, easy
way to tell characters apart especially if they look similar in other
features. Now I'll follow with the same sort of statement you did ;) --
I could easily be wrong here, but this is what I've heard and as I
understand things it does sound like a reasonable explanation. If we're
both totally wrong here, I'm sure someone will correct us.

Agreed. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that almost everyone
in Japan has virtually the same hair colour. When watching live-action
Japanese films, it can often be difficult to tell the actors apart in
the long shots, or in dark scenes.
The medium of anime allows the director to experiment with distinctive
hair (and eye) colours as a means of identifying characters that would
otherwise be so similar (due to the simplified nature of facial
features in animation and the use of generic body types) as to confuse
the audience. For example, imagine all of the Sailor Moon girls with
black hair and brown eyes and the nightmare (and expense) that this
would cause to the animators in trying to ensure that each character
was positively identifiable at first glance in every single scene.

But just so there may be someone here who is interested, may we notice that
Kaworu also has the bluish-grey hair and red eyes (and as for how he
looks fully au-naturel, maybe only Shinji knows). It may be an artifact of
their, erm, peculiar origin. (Misato's sorta-purplish look could be a
"highlight" dye -- on first sight you assume her to be black/dark brown
haired)

A) Misato has purple hair. I don't think that's normal. Although
it's very attractive on her.
B) Nobody points at Rei and screams "MUTANT!", so I assume it's
just the usual anime hair coloring type thing.
C) You mix Angel DNA in with human DNA and only get blue hair and
red eyes, that's NOTHING to complain about.

Her eyebrows are blue. Looking at the mechanics, it just might have
something to do with her being part angel. Her red eyes are also not a
common genetic trait.
Now, from the anime end of it. They use strikingly different colors of
hair and hairstyles to differentiate between different characters so
it's easier to tell them apart from other characters.

Does anyone think that the reason for the odd colors for Rei, apart from
Misato having purple hair (does she? Never noticed), is to emphasize that
she is a clone? If we go with the alternate universe segment in the last
episode of the TV series then Yuri had brown hair, if memory serves, so Rei,
despite being a clone of Yuri, has different hair and eye colors.

OK.
To answer this question, imagine Asuka with Rei's hair color and Rei
with Asuka's. Somehow it won't fit any more, don't you think?
The reason is simple. Different colors mean different things to the
viewer. For example, blue is considered a "cold" color. It has eben
become a symbol for "cold" in everyday life, just like red means "hot".
Check in your bathroom for example.
Or, something else. Imagine Coca Cola would produce a green Coke. Would
you drink it?
As you see, colors do have some meaning to the viewer, they influence
how he thinks about what happens.
Now in anime, you can choose almost every color for the hair. And the
hair is the only "larger" part of a character which never (or almost
never) changes and therefore can be used very well to identify
characters. So it's just obvious that one will choose
- distinct
and
- fitting
colors for a character.
So the only reason for Rei's blue hair is that someone liked this color
best for describing her and that it wasn't used yet in Evangelion.
Now to the last question, to dye or not to dye. There is no scene where
she dyes her hair, so one can asume it's "naturally blue" (perfectly
normal in anime world). But of course something like dye was used - but
EVERYWHERE. Otherwise it would be all white on white on the screen and
you would only be able to HEAR what's happening ^^

Notice that many of the Angels have a red 'core' somewhere on their

manifestation of this?

FYI, it's pronounced 'kwunt' and yes, that's my real name. I believe that
it's Arabic in origin.
It always causes raised eyebrows and snickers whenever anyone sees my
surname written down - until I explain to them that I'm not winding them up.
I used to really hate it when I was younger (especially when the kids at
school realised that my first name could be shortened to 'Dick'). :)

I took Misato's purple hair to just be a bit of artistic lisence with the
standard Japanese dark brown/black colour.
Inu-Yasha
Strange not to see this observation, but with the few anime (and manga) that
I have seen or read, most of the characters with very unusual hair colors
are in fantasy or sci-fi type stories, as Tenchi-muyo, Evangelion, Yokohama
Kaidashi Kikou, Psychic Academy, stories based around what one could call
normal situations seem to have normal hair colors, as in Maison Ikkuko,
You're Under Arrest, Love Hina, and even Inu-Yasha (white hair is not so
unusual). My point her is that special or unusual hair is not a necessary
to separate characters individuality but is just how their creator sees
them. ^_^
Inu-Yasha
Feh!!
Geoff Dias
Her hair is blue because the artists made it that way. The hair colour
is about as natural as Utena's or Chibiusa's, who I think were born
with pink hair.
Anime for the most part is not nature. There may be things that can be
related to real life, but this is one of the many that isn't one of
them. Characters are pure fantasy, which means that they be anything
anyone wants them to be.

Japanese people don't have nipples. If you look at all the bathing

thing.

Someone else mentioned the possibility that it emphasised the "clone"
aspect (i.e. she's genetic oddity, as are, coincidentally, albinos).
Another person mentioned Kaworu's blue-grey hair - and GAINAX nowadays
seem to think Rei's hair is more grey than blue - judging by the
advertisement for the remastered series, and also the colour of the
wig worn by a GAINAX booth-babe who I saw last March...

Perhaps that may be interesing: Yesterday I saw a report about Latvia
(Baltic state; former Soviet Union) that is going to become member of

that *have* the color of Rei's hair (to a good approximation). So
hair of that color is not impossible.

How much less body hair DO the Japanese have? Rei's obviously hit puberty,
which is when these things happen. I know in the Western world 14 certainly
isn't an unusual age for girls to have hair growth down there. Just how big

She was wearing the teal siefuku. No red-eyes (it was indoors; she
probably would have ended up bumping into things). It was more

Yeah, I saw the Rei in towel too. If you wanted to see Asuka, Tiffany Grant
was dressed in a plugsuit.
MY DRUNKEN ENCOUNTER WITH TIFFANY GRANT
by Coorlim
Okay, so I was at Anime Central. It being a con, I was drunk. Very drunk.
Almost drunker than I'd ever been before. During the day no less. This was
my first anime con ever, the first con of any type where I'd had a room, and
I met up with some friends and got plastered. These days, I stay sober at
the cons I attend because its actulay fun to, you know, DO things.
Enough Pre-amble.
So, like I said, I was drunk. Being drunk, I decided to find my friends...
the sober ones. They were at an Evangellion fan panel. Now, this was back
'afore I'd seen Evangellion and was unaware of its awesome majesty. I was
more of a Ranma-Tenchi-El Hazard kinda anime fan, and had no patience for
giant robots.
So, I wandered on in, grabbed some kind of raffle ticket, and sat down next
to my good friend Jeremy (who was dressed as Gendo) and proceded to doze in
a drunken stupor through the question and answer portion.
Next thing I knew, I was being awakened because I'd apparently won an entry
raffle, snagging a cool Evangellion art book. I grabbed it, mumbled
something like "Whats an Evangellion?" and took my seat.
Afterwards, I drunkenly stumbled up to Tiffany Grant (who apparently had
something to do with this Evangellion thing) and had her sign the book I'd
won. She dutifully obliged, then ran off to get lunch, before my friend
Jeremy could get an autograph.
