Re: Breaking the American Mecha Curse

This is going to be a bit of an incomplete thought, but I think it could be that Japan before World War II still had a 19th century view that technology can do everything while the West was focused on the deeds of men (both real and fictional). So during the war while Superman and Captain America we...

Re: A very old documentary on Teilhard de Chardin shows an apocalypse that is strikingly similar to the Third Impact

I'm glad to see that someone else in the fandom discovered de Chardin. I when I did a few years ago, I told a couple other users about it and one explained that Anno and the others who worked on the show were more likely they were inspired by other works such as Arthur C Clarke's Childhood's End. I'...

Re: Classic science fiction references in Evangelion

It should be noted that in the manga version, Misato rescued PenPen from a lab she was working at when they were done with him. I don't know if this helps you any.

Re: Is the "Baumkuchen" Scene Parodying Clint Eastwood's Firefox (1982)?

There is also a 4th possiblity: That because Anno did some animation work on Macross Plus at the time, he may have gotten the idea from working on it, and any relation to Firefox would be irrelevant.

Pwhodges has stated in the Discord that he got the 2CD soundtrack as a bonus gift for ordering the Japanese version of Shin. This was only offered at Kinkurido stores though.

Speaking of plot devices from other Gundam shows, the title for next week's episode, "Father and Child" is the same title for an episode in Zeta when Kamille's dad get's killed.

Re: Subtitles for (-46h) short (no spoilers)

Translation question: one of Midori's lines is translated as "We've got less than two days until combat with the US." She must be referring to 3.0's upcoming Operation US. Should this be translated differently, e.g., "until combat during US"? What does the acronym "...

Re: "Evangelion Beyond" stage play

I don't know if this is a parody or not, but I believe that we can no say with confidence the Gundamization of the Eva franchise that Anno talked about a few years ago is now coming to fruition. I have to admit, however, that I didn't expect it to begin with a stage play.

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now

I don't know much about Death Note, but it was nice to see the Halloween specials improve in quality from the previous years. They're still not as good as say the first ten, but I'll take what I can get.

Okay, I made a post on the front page about the Bluray release. It is rather lengthy as it goes into detail about not just what the features are, but also what bonuses are beign offered at which stores and links to them. I hope this help all of those who wish to get it.
