You mean like these?

Just watched it (yeah i'm slow), haven't read the books (probably never will) and i'll say that this movie felt the best between the 4 movies. The rest seemed so disjointed it wasn't funny.This one had only abit of disjointedness but overall done pretty well. Thumbs up. And what i'm thinking the most of after the movie? Emma Watson in a ball dress. Mmmmmmmmmm..... *closet lolikon firing up* Damn that spunky attitude yet fragile attitude of Hermione gets me all Moe-ed. XD Damn they grow up so fast >_<

That's alot of "plusses" you're getting.

I dunno...maybe you could give some examples of great stories that "make you think". I'd think Asimov novels are great and really gets you thinkiing about Humans and Robots co-existing. It doesn't end adruptly leaving you to your so-called imagination to give your own ending. Its not action nor adventure, but hey, it RESOLVES all the issues that were in the story....or at least some of them. Even mystery genre stories have a resolution to them. Who was the killer in the end? (Yea yea...i know its the butler ) Where was the treasure hidden? Imagine a great mystery novel and all it does by the end of it is "make you think" who the possible suspects are or where that treasure was but never really tells you. Isn't that just bad story telling? Eva TV was something like that. If you considered the last 2 episodes as clues to what happened....i can tell you....I was clueless until I watched EoE. Anyway, point was, we all know EVA TV dumped the whole Mecha VS Angels angle at 25. What happened after Shinji killed Kaworu was ...up to your own interpretation. Then it was 2 trippy non-resolution episodes that made little sense by themselves. Then came EoE to continue the Mecha VS Angels story that EVA was built on. I'm just saying 24-25 should really be EoE , and maybe EoE should've been 24-25. That's all. I'm sure i'm not alone on this.

I digress. "Holding the viewer's hand" is probably the best way of storytelling. You're telling a story, not giving a theory that makes people think. IMHO these so called open ended things that "make people think" should just stay off the movies. You could do that in a standard movie kind of way but have underlying messages THAT make people think. Think Narnia. It doesn't shoot u in the face and say "I am Christian...you will all burn in hell if you don't turn to Christ" but instead tells a story to drive that message across. I would think most bad movies/stories, stories tend to "let go of your hand" halfway through the trip, making you feel "WTFed" as it ends. People will tend to tell you "Its to make you think" but i think its just really bad story telling. Plot holes are the worse of course and again they will clean their hands and say "Its to make you think". Puhleez...... I mean how would you feel if Frodo made it to Mount Doom, was about to throw the ring into the lava when suddenly, he gets sucked into some funky colorful weed induced (or whatever that thing Gandalf smokes) hallucinations where he sees Samwise talking in riddles and it ends there? How would you feel if Luke Skywalker was getting lightning zapped by the emperor, he goes into a trippy dream and it ends with Darth Vader saying "Congratulations, Luke". End of Episode 6. You get the point. In all, i think EoE was a good ending, an F-you or not from Anno i don't really care. I understood the TV ending more after watching EoE and i believe the TV ending should've ended like EoE. It drives the same message across but come on, your fans have been waiting for RESOLUTION to the main story. The message can come WITH the resolution. Never without. My 2 cents.

I always wondered how those "missle launchers" were supposed to launch anything. I just took it as what everyone said. Missle Launchers. I sorta thought that it may be ejection ports for shells fired from the hand cannons.

The OVA was a disappointment, even for a side story. Doesn't really add any new story into the TV series. But anyhooo....the Saikano Live Action Movie trailer's out. Chise's not cute enought. http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/movie/2006_saik...6saikano_w.html

Well after GAINAX, Gonzo jumps into the bandwagon. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/article.php?id=7902

Don't provoke them. I can see it happen...... Especially if Shadow Chronicles does considerably well.

I don't see why not. They'd probably change it to be alot less trippy but have the basic idea there. Guy/boy loser dude is the key to mankind's survival ala John Connor. Everybody wants him in that robot developed in secret by the UN or whatever because only he can control it. Aliens come, loser guy defends New York 3 with much hesitation (CGI action...check), finds love in Asuka (love scene...check), Asuka dies/mentally raped, loser guy turns berserk and prepares to end the world with the help of the Aliens. Great movie coming our way. The way I see it, this will flop badly or might open the gateway to more anime-> hollywood movies....bad and good alike.

I was thinking. Is it conceivable to make any video game / anime movie that would appeal to a wide audience and at the same time appease the fans? Fans can be scary unforgiving folk. I for one think LOTR triology was a great movie without reading the book, but fans of the books keep bagging it for not following the book 100% or something or other. EVA LA movie will DEFINATELY be different from the anime, but different names etc shouldn't matter. Most important is to keep the overall feel, and pass the original message across. I'm not sure if they could keep the "Angels" and all the other pseudo-Judeo-Christianity references either. Some hardcore churches might object for angels to be portrayed as evil beings or something. Btw, did Gainax gave their approval to ADV to do this movie? I assume it to be so since they already went into talks with WETA and even collected funds and all?

We discussed this quite awhile back here. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...yond+the+clouds So i guess the Region 1 DVD's out now?

You guys heard of this anime? Quoted from nfo. http://www.animenfo.com/animetitle,3521,ei..._of_rean__.html Official site: http://www.rean-wings.net/top.html I no next to nothing about Dunbine and why are the robots organic insectoid looking, but upon reading nfo's description, i thought why does Byston Well sound familiar? Saw website...hhmmm...those look like Dunbine.....and sure enough its supposed to be somehow related to Dunbine.

I wondered about that too on that devon aoki pic 1 page back.

While most of you are bagging devon aoki, i think she did a good job in Sin City. Maybe that's cause she didn't talked. Never bothered to watch 2F2F either. But seriously....Kasumi needs someone more buxomed.

I added the link to it when ruskiiVFaussie asked that same question on the first page. 347379[/snapback] Ooops....how n00b of me. sorry.

Pictures are huge and blurry...but that's a nice YF-21

There's more below the GBP. What is it showing, Graham?

Unfortunately, its true. Someone here posted a link to the main site before during its launch. Not sure how well it did.

Drat...i gonna have to buy a VF-1J now. >_< I'm quite worried of the missiles. They might not lock in place properly and might drop all over with a slight nudge. I have this problem with my Fast Packs and can't seem to get some slots to stick properly.

This might be old news to you guys so i apologise if it was mentioned....but i stumbled upon this and found it hilarious! http://www.smashmyxbox.com/

Oops....i spy something with my little eye.... And Paul W.S Anderson rapes our adolescenthood yet again.

To echo what Sithlord said, No more VF-1s pls..... I don't care if its perfect transformation 1/60 or whatever....we gotta move on.

Oh sure...then what is Knights, Pirates etc about? Pirates and soldiers drinknig tea together? =.= Lego space used to be not about warfare then they had that space line where they fought robots.

One toy to rule them all? Not sure. But i'm thinking if they can make the Yamato as a Chogokin, why not a perfect transformation, die-cast, super detailed DYRL? SDF-1? That would be fun.
