For the second one, bochan_bird's translation retains the impersonal stance of the actual words spoken and from which point we can argue the nuance between implicit "for thee" vs "for you in the role of everyman". I do remember, when I was transferring that translation to pre-ex...

Well, tbh--I didn't even know this existed. Plus we had a *slightly* more accurate approach. It's better to get this sort of out to the public anyway.

With the second one I think it's less critical since there's enough surrounding context that, no matter the translation of that line, any reasonable reading of the show will tell us that a hopeful message was intended (see all the business with Rei and Kaworu, Shinji's discussion with Yui, etc). Re...

I didn't expect this to come back to haunt me. DO IT! It's always nice to see more stuff from you man! Welcome back. still think it's a valid point. Only one movie left to tie all these different plot lines together, and end them? I dedicated a thread to talking about the issues we have with the ru...

This guy gets it. The first one is a pretty serious blow to the concurrency debate, as there's no reason to think Shinji would embrace Instrumentality given a proper translation of that line. The second is a more elegant translation than what we have, but I don't think it's a game-changer in terms ...

The whole reason Bennet derailed the review towards the end was to poke fun at Anno for essentially doing the same thing to the series and EOE. Essentially ending the story to talk directly to the audience/characters about his problems/ their problems. and when they didn't take the advice to screw ...

I sincerely hope when it comes state side (if ever,) Khara will produce their own subtitles for it. They obviously have someone competent who's been working on Animator Expo and I'm really sick of people calling me out with using the original manga ent. subs (which apparently are...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CBSz95nVEAA97n5.png This is くりかえす which means "repeat." So from this short we were given ": || repeat". This basically confirms that ": ||" is the repeat symbol instead of just "||" which is to end. Then there's that clock thin...

That's brilliant! I haven't thought of that, but that seems so obvious in retrospect.

I'm really not trying to resurrect any dead topics, but I've been researching "Postmodern-Existentialism" and this seems largely as if it were a made up term. Postmodernism is a thing, existentialism is a thing...but I'm hugely skeptical if they are one in the same. The only ac...

I still don't get why people think EoE's ending is somehow this desolate tragedy. It's been years since the film was released. You think people would start to have a larger base of appreciation for it like MGS2 instead of being hooked on false objective events. EoE's ending is quite ...

“Why are Jo, Ha, and Q color coded red, orange, and blue respectively?” I always assumed it worked like this. Red = Earth Orange = LCL/Blood Blue = Sky I also looked into the colors and general symbolism. Now, there isn't exactly a criteria for color meaning. To be frank, you could probably kee...

I partially second this.

Wow, that's a pretty interesting idea! I'd love to read an elaboration of that thought! Texhnolyze... Was a tour de force. It definitely wasn't fun to watch it, but it definitely was an experience that widened my horizon. The closest Anime-series to an Art-Movie I've seen to date. T...

Sooo... am I hearing correctly that there was supposed to be a new film before EoE was made? Hmmm, I wonder if he would be willing to share the script eventually? So in a far reaching way, Final comes before One More Final. Final vs One More Final. Very interesting. I haven't read that idea unt...

I'm pretty sure we're not going to see 3.0 for another year. If what is said is true (about the dub being redone), then that process might take a while. Plus recalling the older copies they already had produced. It's an odd situation to say the least. I preordered it a while back...

It is real shame too since the main character is such a hottie :drool: If only the show was actually good, you know? Who? Aikuro? Yeah. Totally smexy~ In all seriousness though, I might not lean that way--but Lady Satsuki is my waifu. I'd let her dominate me any day. Ryuko was pretty cool too.

Thanks. Demolition D made it for me initially and I retouched it in photoshop~
