    Yeah, I was hoping to clear out my old ADV Platinum release to make room for this, but nope! I shall still pre-order, as I want those EOE Remaster, but a serious "wow" on the FMTTM thing. Definitely glad I picked up the Japanese big blue cube release.

    Three things you should know before you start: 1. Everything Anno worked on before he left is epic, this includes the ending thankfully. Unfortunately NHK wanted the production run extended by 10 more episodes which Anno fought back on, resulting in him quitting from Gainax (the first time). 2. The "Island Episodes" were outlined, but finished after he left to stretch out the runtime. As such there"s some serious gold there, you just have to look a little harder for it. 3. The "Africa Episodes" are absolute garbage in every conceivable way. I can only imagine they were conceived in by the remaining staff rebellion to punish the network for making Anno quit. 3B. If you ever come across the movie sequel "Nadia The Movie" run! It is literally a trap.

    Nadia > TV+EOE > Rebuild > Manga. I place the manga lowest simply because it was lacking a fullness that the other versions had. The scene with Gendo actually defending Shinji during the Nerv invasion was manga's highpoint for me.

    Hmm, those figs are tradwmark expensive...

    Eva is more of a complete remake of Nadia, but yeah, so many correlations.
  6. Keith
    When you watch it in Japanese it's always the original cast.

    And yes, I am asserting that "Thrice Upon A Time" is an overt reference to Nadia being his first attempt that he ran away from, Eva TV/Movi3 being his second attempt that ran away from him, and Rebuild being his fully controlled version. While Gunbuster is unmistakably Anno, and the origin of practice of many of his archetypes & style, it ultimately was not "his" story, though he did make it absolutely beautiful. I think after seeing 3.0 + 1.0, if somehow I ever were to meet Anno I wouldn't want to waste his time asking him about any of this (as he has shared it in the raw-est way I believe possible), and that's besides the obvious language barrier. I would however want to buy him a drink or two (or more), and quietly bond with him on that level. After seeing the accompanying doc, I think he'd appreciate that.

    Well, I sure as hell want to discuss this.

    I absolutely loved it as the love letter to everything Anno has done that it is. And yes, 3.33 is raised higher with the context of this finale. I'll save most of my comments for the main Eva thread save to say..
  10. Keith
    I see why you feel that way, but I also see why it was done.

    I actually thought they were going to have the later cuts of the first 3 up too, I waited to rewatch!

    They may just have a killcode "Order 67."

    Only Edgar Wright or Wes Anderson could do a proper Macross 7.

    Revenge Of The Sith is my favorite of the franchise, deal with it!

    HER EYES WERE GREEN! And Zendaya is plenty cute.

    I got the impression Earth wasn't sharing time vault usage, so Gamilus would alwo have been relying on the Andromeda fleet for defense.with ship production back down to normal, it's not a huge surprise to see fewer ships all around.

    Or Obi Wan.

    I'd watch a Max & Kakizaki buddy/comedy/action side story if he did that.

    No DNA is arguable. It could be passing semen through the force, like passing a light saber.

    Escaped Palp clone.
  22. Keith
    No, I'm fine.

    How does it compare with "Jabberwocky" or "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote" (yes, I know this one isn't a Terry Gilliam film).
