About freaking time.

Christ.

Even people who work with their passion need time to reset and cool off. It's not that it's a "burden" to him, it's simply that having it take over so much of your work and time is exhausting. You say this but there are plenty of creators in the industry working with their passion and lov...

Sometimes I think this franchise would be improved if Anno actually just bowed out and left it in the hands of people that actually want to work on it.

Because he talks like it's this massive burden he has to bear.

Yep I'm still not pleased with it. "You have to wait until it's finished completely before judging it" isn't good enough for me. You can be incomplete and still be a good entertaining film stand alone. Empire Strikes Back certainly was. This is not. And expecting an audience to wait for li...

Having seen both, they really didn't change all that much. Quite frankly I don't think there was much behind the scenes work with the Japanese staff at all. I think they wanted to, but time, availability and the Japanese staff being busy making the next film, meant that whatever they thought they co...

No. Never.

And if it does then you're taking this fictional cartoon way too seriously.

This is really getting absurd, but honestly I'm not surprised.

But whatever, there's better stuff coming out anyway.

I just hope Khara doesn't overestimate their english skills or force obviously wrong translations on them. Remember how when Eva tv was first getting dubbed they had to argue with Gainax about translating the (Number) Children to (number) Child because the latter is proper english?

Exactly. It's just BS on the other end of the spectrum.

Also I sure as hell didn't feel the need to reevaluate my life after watching Eva.

^ If Anno wasn't a good storyteller you wouldn't be here. Speak for yourself buddy. It's possible for something to be very popular without a good story. The visuals, the music, because some so and so big shot in involved. In my case I'm just here for the robots and the monsters. I t...

not muh Shinji

Have you not seen their commentary on EoE? The dub cast (or at least the original one) found Eva so depressing they either joked about it or cried.

Hell I have to joke about it and not take it remotely seriously or cry.

If that's the case it's never coming out. Like I said in the other thread they will NEVER get a Japanese like reaction from an American audience.

It's just fictional entertainment. There's always more somewhere.

Shikinami's no more an Asuka replacement than slightly more assertive Shinji, Poka Rei, or Captain Hardass Misato from 3.0 are of their original characterizations. I mean I guess you could see it that way for all of them, but you can't just single only Shikinami out because she's got a d...

Well he actually didn't OPENLY betray them. He let them believe he was going to carry their will as he shut them down, instead of mwahahaing at them that the show was his and he just screwed them over.

He's clearly gonna betray them, but opted not to rub in their faces for the sake of it.

The real question is do you “dub people” want a good, accurate quality dub that does its best to reflect your precious Eva characters and storyline, or do you want something so quick, dirty, and half-assed that it reflects poorly on one of your favorite anime titles ever? Remember that asking of a ...

let this dlc come to North America as well.

It probably won't. Funimation would need a cut being the holder of the US rights and it would just be too much of a legal mess.

Same reason the Geass costumes for Graces never made it.

It appears that way, but as said, Fridge Logic has you realize Misato and Wunder's fleet can't just be sitting around in the middle of nowhere all the time. They have to have a homebase somewhere, and they're clearly getting resupplied by someone. We just don't know because we almost...

I think the swearing is necessery to show Asuka is really really displeased with Shinji. Calling him a brat might work in the more polite Japan, but in the US kids gets called brats all the time. Brat basically equals "You child are being slightly irritating." Calling someone an asshole on...

As someone who was at comic con, I don't think they were laughing at the dub (Kaworu context aside) so much as the movie ITSELF. Heck the guy next to me was basically laughing in confusion the whole movie because he had no idea what had happened so the movie was coming off as absurd. Or ...
