I personally love the 11odd minutes of live action footage and find it to be a shame that it was chopped up just to make a trailer. Anyone know what happened here? - I guess all directors have their cutting board moments of retardation... So who out there would've kept it in and who would've chopped it off, I mean why get rid of it?
I think it really gives you a feel for the real world and the "alternate universe" deal going on in 25 & 26. This is one of the things that I believe to set Eva apart from your average anime, it's simple yet brilliant.
By the way, does anyone have this w/ a fan sub attatched in the video... I'd love to view it w/ subtitles. Yes, I've read the translation.

Probably worth editing the title to say "alternate live action segment" - as opposed to the crowd scenes and cinema audience that remain.
That section would have been the obvious equivalent/counterpoint to the panty-flash-Rei school AU segment of EoTV, even though I can't quite believe Asuka as an office lady, rather than a Ritsuko-style neurotic academic.

While I enjoy what might have been, I just don't think it would have fit. Due to the length, and the fact that it is a fairly self contained, it would have disrupted the flow. I imagine this is in effect why it was removed in the first place. It was not meant to be. I think the use of live footage in the final product was more effective of achieving what Anno wanted, even if it is a bit more abstract.

I think EM is on the right track, and I would also add that the LA characters are just too removed from who they are in the 'real' NGE world: Asuka is no longer 3/4 gaijin, Rei is just an OL, etc. It's not just a world without Shinji: aside from the characters names, and the relevance to Asuka's line in P3II, "Ah, I wonder if I'll be like Misato when I grow up?", it doesn't seem to be occuring in the NGE world at all. The differences are just too jarring, IMO...DatDude wrote:I see your point oh wise monkey.
