Marzan Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Who else thought about this when Shinji was trying to save Rei? The thought had not crossed my mind until I saw this pic. Gendo and Kamina must the be the two most antipodean characters one could think of... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoducks Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) Sooooo, you pilot an awesome giant robot, live with the hottest woman ever, have a pet penguin, everyone is "Shinji this, Shinji that" with you and you even hang around in the most über facilities know to human kind.... all THAT and the happiest expression I've ever seen drawn in your face is "cooooool, coke and f'fries!!11!"..... F* you... Imaginary sir, you are the most hated character FOREVER in my book. Edited April 20, 2010 by Twoducks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bri Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) ok, I've just watched Eva 2.22 Well, umm, what can I say? Some first impressions: Oretachi wo dare da to omotte yagaru? Simon Ikari Shiji! Maybe we should call it "Do You Remember Eva?" on a slightly more serious note, I'm impressed by the curve balls they threw plot wise. Also just when I thought they had mixed prozac with the LCL the story turns darker. Still, as an old time Eva fan, it's also quite strange to see how the characters have changed. The influence of Eva had on 15 years of anime now got channeled back in to the characters. They seem a bit more like the stereotypes they themselves heavily influenced. Rei went from traumatized victim to clumsy moe, and Asuka is now a standard tsundere. Fanservice nods to just about every fetish too. Still, it gripping and I am very curious to where this will lead, especially given the ending. Edited May 28, 2010 by Bri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sil80jdm Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 anybody know if bandai is still releasing the evangelions in the soul of chogokin spec line?

taksraven Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Eva 2.22 is far more emotionally satisfying and epic than the entire original series, but it doesn't make a lick of sense. The Duke is pretty much spot on with his review. Watched it today. Loved it. What Duke might be forgetting though is that it is Eva and it doesn't have to make sense. Loved the ship that Gendo and whatsisname were flying about the moon on. Talk about a ripoff of an Eagle from Space:1999, but thats really cool too. After closing titles action, COOL!!!! MUCH better than the after credits stuff on Iron Man 2!!!! "This time I'll make you happy" right at the end? Like its all happened before?? Referencing the original series???? COOL!!!!!!! Some people would love to be able to make stuff this surreal. I love surrealism.....

Twoducks Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 2.22 is just epic... and we still have two more movies left. Felt this one was making more sense than the series (in Evangelion "making sense" is a very loose term though ). Hope they keep it up and don’t pull another über crazy ending. Love how they have weirdedup the angels. The original series had weird enemies for its time and now they are raising the bar again. After closing titles action, COOL!!!! MUCH better than the after credits stuff on Iron Man 2!!!! "This time I'll make you happy" right at the end? Like its all happened before?? Referencing the original series???? COOL!!!!!!! Now THAT was a very interesting part. Are they saying Rebuilt is truly a sequel?? Or was that just fanservice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Now THAT was a very interesting part. Are they saying Rebuilt is truly a sequel?? Or was that just fanservice? It could be either. Afaik Khara never specified more then that rebuilt is an alternate retelling and easier access to Evangelion. Plenty of sequel theories around but only time will tell whether it's true or not. Also the Eva 2.22 movie is doing very well. Setting highest weekly and total sales for Blu-ray in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he's co-directing (with Masayuki, who directed Evangelion: Death), writing the scripts, and doing some of the storyboarding. Fair enough. I heard at one point that Anno would only be writing the first film and then handing it off to others. When I watched 2.22 yesterday though, Anno's fingerprints were too obvious.

shiroikaze Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I feel tempted to pick up Evangelion 1.11 for $14 from Amazon but I feel I should hold out for the blu-ray boxset. How optimistic should I be of the chances of it being released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gubaba Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I feel tempted to pick up Evangelion 1.11 for $14 from Amazon but I feel I should hold out for the blu-ray boxset. How optimistic should I be of the chances of it being released? Oh, it'll probably be out evenutally...but consider: Eva 1.0 came out in Japanese theaters in September 2007. The Japanese DVD of 1.01 came out seven months later. Followed after another year by the Blu-Ray 1.11. In late 2009, the US DVD of 1.01 came out, with the 1.11 Blu-ray coming out in April of 2010. If that schedule holds, 2.22 will come out in the US in 2012. The third and fourth movies will probably come out in Japan in 2011, with US Blu-ray coming out in 2014. And the boxset would probably be out in 2015. To me, that seems like a long time to wait...but maybe I'm weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
