Re: Best Things That Evangelion Inspired You to Consume (Non-Anime)

Sayonara Jupiter was pretty sweet. I just need to get around to watching UFO at some point.

Re: Original Shikinami scene and the 9th Angel contamination scene

I'm just gonna point out that the only source we have for the appearance of Child Soryu was in Episode 22 of NGE, and she looked completely different than the Child Asuka seen in the Shin Eva flashbacks.

Re: Use of Religious Imagery in Rebuilds

There is sufficient evidence that the religious imagery in Evangelion has more to do with it being an Ultraman reference than an actual Bible reference. I don't know how that's supposed to work when Eva is an apocalyptic narrative and the religious symbols are always supporting what happens in a gi...

Re: Use of Religious Imagery in Rebuilds

There is sufficient evidence that the religious imagery in Evangelion has more to do with it being an Ultraman reference than an actual Bible reference. Both properties have giant humanoid creatures hanging on crosses, and Anno literally does Ultraman poses a few times when he gets in front of the c...

Re: Original Shikinami scene and the 9th Angel contamination scene

RE: Asuka’s Facial Expressions, it’s actually more difficult to establish the argument that those are two separate Shikinami clones simply because of all of the jump cutting across time that particular segment engages in. While the insight of the different expressions lends itself nicely to the arg...

Lol! I was just thinking this on the Discord. It makes the most sense so far, but I really don’t know how to prove it definitively.

Re: The Script for Rei and Kaworu at the Train Scene

I love Shin Eva’s energy.

Mari X Asuka = RED HERRING.
Shinji X Asuka = FAILED.
Shinji X Rei = ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Rei X Kaworu = NOT CANON.
Shinji X Mari = TEASED.

Re: Shin Eva - Official Blu-ray Release 2022!

It might be the PS5 as the major deciding factor then since I also have an LG OLED (65C1PUB, not sure how that differs from your model or that it isn't just same one) and was still getting some banding issues through the 4K disc. What I'm really getting out of all of this though is that once again ...

Re: Shin Eva - Official Blu-ray Release 2022!

No prob! I was worried that I'd have to do something dramatic to get a good 4K version with English subs, but the GKIDS 4K release at least resolves that issue. I guess the only thing that could resolve the issues with the regular Blu-ray would be to make two copies of the disc, one with the dub, an...

Re: Shin Eva - Official Blu-ray Release 2022!

It doesn’t seem to have color banding issues on my setup, but my setup isn’t the same as Killer of Heroes’. I haven’t heard too many great things about the PS5 as a 4K Blu-ray player though, so that could be a contributing factor. (The PS3 & PS4 were top-notch BD Players, but the PS2 was a subpa...

Re: Shin Eva - Official Blu-ray Release 2022!

Nadia is a whole different story, apparently. Sentai Filmworks was the first distributor to release the film on BD in the US, and NHK had only sourced a 2K restoration of the series at the time. When GKIDS licensed the show, NHK had done a 4K restoration, which removed all of the film grain elements...

Re: Shin Eva - Official Blu-ray Release 2022!

I spent $2,000+ on a 65" 4K OLED TV, I care very much. Do you own the Japanese bluray? I think for people who want max quality that's the best option. It has no subs but Ive had it on without them just to enjoy the visuals (I've seen the film often enough that I approximately know what's being...

Re: Shin Eva - Official Blu-ray Release 2022!

The 4K edition hasn’t shipped out from RightStuf or Crunchyroll or wherever my order’s being kept. I’ve heard that the 4K edition is on back order at Crunchyroll’s warehouse, but I don’t have an order with them, so I can’t presently confirm that.

Re: Shin Eva - Official Blu-ray Release 2022!

I haven’t noticed color banding issues like this on any of the other GKIDS BD releases, so I think they’re okay. This particular video quality looks like the digital download version of the movie you’d buy from iTunes or Google Play. EDIT: I’ve noticed that anytime GKIDS has an Eva release that it’s...

Re: "Show, don't tell": why Thrice is better than EoE

Well, there’s also a fundamental difference between Shin Eva and EoE. Shin Eva is an actual movie, whereas EoE, by all standards of measure, is a large, HBO-esque television production that was also theatrically released. Shin Eva, for example, has a pretty solid 3-act structure. The pacing of Shin ...
