Hey Troll you bridge is over there. *points to 2ch*

Some of the final project renders I was able to get done

Read about the blow-up on of the various forums on 4chan this morning. Not alot of happy campers out there right now. Heard that they cut the prologue and epilogues for commercial reasons.

Do you really think that he would've had a job there anyways even if he didn't resign? Ask yourself this: If you were interviewed by an International newspaper and directly called your customers "morons and retarded for not liking the quality of your product, and to STFU and except it!". Do you really believe that you would have a job with that company much longer? Because that's EXACTLY what he did. Also I don't expect Keiko Mimori to remain with Gainax much longer either ----- Thanks for linking the article. It really shows how "professionals" should remain ignorance of the criticism that is aimed at their works.

I haven't seen a 'dark' movie/tv show in the last 10-15 years. And the last movie & TV show I saw with remotely intelligent lighting was Event Horizon, Pitch Black and FarScape season 1. :/

Don't forget LeLoche of the Rebellion did theirs as episode 8.5. And I find it completely understandable from the stand point of what happened in Eps 2 & 3 and them being drawn out and filler laden.

That looks horrible. They didn't need to slap a freaking glowy blob on his chest to show that he has heart issues. A simple brushed metal blob under a thin sheer tank would be more than enough. And I'm beginning to think that nearly every director in Hollywood has eye problems because all of the current stuff is badly over lite. Downey looks more like drugged up Anthony Stark(IRON MAN) than a slightly drunk Tony Stark.

So they are going 3D with the EVA's huh.... I gotta say the new changes are lacking in consistency. The EVA's have a lowered amount of detail yet the new symbols have a higher and busier detail level. None of the changes, from what I see in the image, are really worth the time & money involved.

Wiki weeboo. Otaku power had little to due with this. He was VERY stupid when he and the animation posted their names along with their comments. Virtually no business would put up with that, because it gives the company a bad name(dishonors). Stepping down was the honorable thing to do.

I'm not so weebo that I follow the directors around. Can you give me a name? You do realize that I was being factious, right? Besides the concept work, some special promo images and the increasingly rare penciled storyboarding. It is indeed mostly digital from the Walcom drawing forward and the overall production effort involved is something around 40-60% of what it was before.

I've never bought the "Director is responsible!" for what is simply poor animation that is supposed to be under the control of Quality Control. Frankly I think they attempted to get cheap (like how? it's all freaking digital!) with their production in order to save money, and attempted to play this off on the Director involved with it when the fans cried "WTF IS THIS CRAP!" over it. I also think that Gaynax did it intensional for promotion reasons. But then again the animation quality HAS been pretty (4chan) QUALITY since the beginning.

The 8.25" size is more in line with the concept art because of the angle of the front cover being more correct. It would also allow you to have more leeway with the shown floor's thickness(which i see as about 8-10' thick). IMO!

I suggest that you go and look up the various related articles with Lost Tale as part of it's subject. This is HIS personal project with money not being as big an issue as you may think. Also you should go and re-watch the interviews attached to the dvd collection because it made more money in DVD format than it did during it's tv run. Really now if people won't touch an anime boxed set that has over 400 minutes on it when it's priced more than 50 dollars. Those same people sure as hell won't pay 75-100 bucks for 4 single story's at around 300 minutes with incredibly little bonus features. Besides there is NOTHING guaranteeing the story's quality other than the names involved and it's title. With TV shows & movies you have a very good idea of what you are getting.

I'm as big a fanboy as anyone, but 24.98 for 75 minutes and only a single bonus feature? Pass. I'll wait for the collection.

Oh god..... she would've just SNAPPED because Kaji would've just dropped her like he did Risako. If that would've happened before the angel rape part... god knows what she would've done to Shinji to cover up her own issues. But it really is a shame that they haven't stated that they are giving her, Asuka, movie time. And if it's Rei's part then it's gonna be fairly boring.

I think that Sylar is like Peter in the way that he can use only 1 "Learned" power plus his innate power. Ultraboy +1. lol And it does seem to point in the direction of "If both or one of the parents have powers their children also have them." doesn't it. I just hope she doesn't have any, but I can't help but wonder about Nathan's kids... I'm really starting to hate Hiro's story. It's just gotten so stupidly Quantum Leap/Star Trek that it's just lame. The whole parallel time jump that happened before the break made me go 'ugh!' but the current "meets himself" is just horrible bs. It wouldv'e been better if he would've lost the time shift portion of his powers, but kept the space shifting portion.

Yeah given how many airplanes had machine guns and ships had machine gun like flak cannons.

Well THAT most definately explains just why it's so incredibly shattershot in delivery!

Yeah at least Asuka had a solid healthy reason for being so messed up.

Well it could actually be the last 5 for this set of characters and storyline, unless they pull some type of gimmick rabbit outta there hat. Frankly Heroes has a lot in common with Evangelion in the way that the cast is basically made up of screwed up people.

Agreed, but by the released film captures the quality is at Gainax levels of inconsistancy.

Well much of the Japanese design theory isn't based on visual appeal like many of the western designs are. You have dozens of cultural, religious, historical,and societal influences. Western designers tend to remove the excess and make them to look viable, mainly designing the mecha for a specific use and that it looks logic and more or less like a machine. The Japanese tend to design with the entire setting in mind and not just a sole usage, though you do see it on occasion. RahXephon, Evangelion, Mazinger, GetterRobo(Go Nagai designs in general), and Atom are all excellent examples of depth of influence. - RahXephon for example has highly defined 'slabs', high usage of long clean lines, uses a Gold/Blue/White color scheme, and looks more like an idealized human/god figure from an ancient past rather than a mecha designed for war. So there was a HUGH amount of historical, societal, and philosophical influence from it's setting. - Evangelion had even MORE such ideals worked into it's designs. O1 for example has a distinctive head design that clearly hints at the historical Japanese warrior, and the other EVA's also have a design that reflects their user/pilot. The highly defined human body styles that the 'mecha' are given help to further focus the viewer on the human element rather than the mechanical nature of the mecha itself. - Mazinger & GetterRobo some of the first 'giant robots' show clear sentai influences as well as societal influences with somewhat 'proud' looking head designs giving them a thud-like attitude heavily contrasting their simple body styles. It can be argued Western designers simply don't go the extra mile to breath a unique look/feeling into their designs.

That would be pretty much a given seeing how there is already a coupla figures out for the anime. Hope'n BOME will do a Yoko figure...

It's waiting to be dl'ed, but once I saw G-Gundam listed and it's lacking first episode.... Well I've been thinking about removing it.

Yeah I see what you mean. What I suggest is that you build the leg so that it doesn't have any slanting to it. That way your working with less complex angles than building it in place. The legs don't slant that much at all and most of the angle can be dealt with by the 'knee' joint. Also a tip. Throw down some rough primitives first before you start a build. This way you have some idea what issues may come up later on and can plan ahead on how to handle them!
