That's with the whole black bar thing right? Why did they do that? And was it like that in theaters? The theaters are probably why they picked the wider aspect ratio. A typical movie theater's screen and a traditional live-action movie is much closer to 3.0's aspect ratio than to typica...

For the last two, I went with the first DVD fansubs, and checked out parts of the 2.0 camrips. This time, though, I'm in it for the long haul. Legit Funi theatrical presentation or BD, no downloads of any sort. It'll be tough, but school's going to be keeping me so busy over the next sev...

I think even the most sceptical of Eva fans must now admit that Studio Khara has DEFINITELY animated, voiced, and edited at least 6 minutes and 38 seconds of Evangelion 3.0. Let's hope they finish the rest of the movie in time!

Who else is thinking 7 glorious minutes of psychedelic CG piano?

You kidding right? Have you even watched the first two movies? If anything, a more plausible option would be Rei/Shinji, the way it has been developed so far, but we all know that this won't happen, so a foreveralone is in order? Probably. Foreveralone is definitely most probable. In fact, I...

1) "Za" is obviously meant to be "the," and "beast-o" obviously has an "-o" because it sounds unnatural in Japanese to end a word with a consonant other than n. It's Engrish. 2) Sequel theory has already been all but completely discredited. 3) ...

They could easily end it at 3.0. Stretching it out to 4.0 would probably be the same thing as splitting the final Harry Potter film into 2 parts. Unnecessary and only meant to grab more cash. Actually, I was very glad with how Deathly Hallows was handled. If they had done the two movies together, i...

I am quite please with Trina voicing Mari. I also hope that Mari has more lines like "Point Blank Shithead", I really liked that. She's sounding good to me too. "Point-blank, shithead!" did indeed make me smile. To be honest, she sounds way over-the-top in the Japanese versi...

So is the DC screening for 2.0 going to be at the same place that they did the 1.0 screening back in 2009? If so then I think I will pass since that screening was awful (I did had a good time neverless). If you mean the free presentation associated with the Japanese embassy or the one at Un...

Decisions, decisions...

You could try renting it?

My big question is if the darkness issue is still present. If it is, I'm definitely waiting for 1.11.

I was at least mentally comparing what the 3.0 preview was indicating though: "Okay, so Shinji and Rei being trapped in Eva-01 is a new spin on what we see in Episode 20, I can just picture this scene: Misato's fussing about how they have to get Shinji and Rei out of Unit 01, and the camer...

The main problem with Eva in terms of Oscar winability is that it's just nowhere near mainstream enough to have a decent shot. Generally, 1.0 didn't do all that well with the American film critics that did see it. That's probably because they were expecting something along the lines of G...

I watched the dub in a theater today, and I have nothing but praise for it. The acting is much improved, and the script is better than anything else we've seen from Evangelion before, subbed or dubbed. Funimation's localization kicks ADV's to the curb, and kicks all the fansubbers' e...

I'm not going to pass any judgment on 2.0 until I see a non-camrip version. As for 1.0, I couldn't be any happier with it. I will actually say that it was superior to the first six episodes of the TV series. (GASP!) I mean it. Aesthetically, the difference is obvious. There's jus...

People may say that a happy ending doesn't suit Evangelion, but I would like to remind people of EoTV. Even though it left almost everyone unsatisfied, I thought it was all the closure that Evangelion really needed. I didn't care about all the loose plot threads and unexplained nature of eve...

I was clearly just overawed...was just trying to make the point that rarely is a series/film/ any concept completely understood until its conclusion. There's a comfort zone between completely explaining something prematurely and just randomly tossing it out with no explanation at all. How can y...

i agree with your point icomeanon4, but adam is a poor example n my opinion. I inintially thought that the embryo had become the white giant, especially when they mentioned the adam revival project That's a really good point, and it also ties into the whole issue people have with things growing...

Rebuild of Evangelion: Death and Rebirth. This will be a condensed version of the four movies shown as one anachronistic mess. The End of Rebuild of Evangelion. This will be an alternate version of Evangelion: Final that will feature much better animation and an assload of mindfuckery. Rebuild of Re...

Here's a thought: Since when has anything in Evangelion made sense part way through? Just look at the whole deal with Adam being both the little embryo thing AND the giant underground. That got an explanation eventually (a very vague explanation, mind you), but it sure didn't make se...

I have three theories about the Gay Plot Device: 1) Being an angel, Kaoru has no sexuality and his interests in Shinji are entirely platonic. 2) Kaoru is gay, and it's basically Anno's way of saying that gays aren't human. 3) Kaoru is actually a girl. (I didn't see a ...
