Re: Favorite Anime OP's

Re: Sooner or later could be realized some anime's series that will be severals Evangelion's reboot?

Evangelion as a whole, in both its formats, is so closely tied to Anno and his ideas (and states of mind!) that I find it hard to imagine any new material counting as being part of the same property. Sadamoto's manga was basically a retelling of Anno's story, with tweaks, and he was involved in the ...

Re: What would you change about Evangelion?

The first three movies of the Evangelion New Theatrical Edition (NTE) are commonly named for the three stages in one Japanese formulation of story-telling - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo-ha-kyū . Shin means "new", as in Shin Godzilla , Shin Ultraman or Shin Evangelion , each being A...

AllTheAnime have now replied and told me they are making new disks and are collecting details from those who want them. They don't appear to be making any anouncement, though.

Re: GKids releasing NGE Blu-Ray in North America 2021

Well, I got the Disc 5 replacement fairly quickly, All The Anime haven't said anything about this yet. I've just emailed them to see if they're going to do the same as GKids. I'll want two copies, as I also bought a Standard Edition as a present for a friend. From the looks of things, it seems like...

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

Eighty Six is kinda frustrating. It's really good, and it even persuaded me to read the books it's based on. But that's when I realised how much detail and explanation from the books is left out... The two-cour series covers three whole books! And then the delays - it's almost like Wolf's Rain that...

Re: Why weren't the external batteries used more often?

I know this isn't a Rebuild discussion, but at least in Q they have replaceable battery packs (Mari has to get one for Asuka when she is trying to stop Shinji & Kaworu ).

Observation, reflection, and understanding. These things can happen slowly and quietly, and there's no need to exaggerate them in the film to help the viewers.

Re: Shinji's personal development in Rebuild: zero to hero?

Things is, wanting to help others yourself is also in a sense self-centred. At the end of 2.0 Shinji tries to save Rei; obviously, he wants Rei back as a companion for himself, but that doesn't preclude wanting Rei to be back for her own sake.

Re: Does Rei start a relation with Gendo at the end of the manga?

The first time she appears in front of fuyutsuki (as Rei) but changes into Yui, As in the anime, Rei appears to some people as the person they most want to see, as she is collecting their souls. This is not Rei forming a relationship with them. Fuyutsuki notices and flat out asks if she has found Y...

Re: GKids releasing NGE Blu-Ray in North America 2021

Since (as Sephirotic states) Khara maintained the flaws of the DVD Renewal set for their big BD release, it seems pretty unlikely that they would make changes just for foreign distributors; and they may well insist on there being no changes other than re-encoding with the dubs. It'll be a little whi...

Re: Any NFL/Fantasy fans out there?

"Soccer" is derived from "Association Football" (in the same way as "Rugger" comes from "Rugby Football"). So, although the term "soccer" is more used in the US these days, it actually originated in Britain.

Re: Shinji understand the Near Third Impact and the Third Impact were different events in Q

I'm pretty sure the story of Rebuild really implies N3I has a connection with the Third Impact, which is the reason why Shinji is blamed. The way I see it, Near Third Impact is actually the start of a Third Impact which was stopped early on by Kaworu. The later Third Impact is essentially a rerun, ...

In NTE at the least, Fuyutsuki tells Shinji explicitly during the shogi game in Q . https://cassland.org/images/eg/fuyu.jpg The series is never quite explicit; but there are hints, such as when Shinji notices that she seems to remind him of "a" (i.e. his?) mother. But the "Red Cross B...
