Maybe you would prefer to use the "[ hide ]" tag that no one seems to know about. Something like this for instance.

That has been true all along, and a large part of the more acrimonious discussion over the past few years has arisen from ignoring that fact.

Re: Was there any indication of how Yui felt about Rei?

"The manga" refers (as usual when unqualified) to Sadamoto's manga which was started in parallel with the anime, and mostly follows the anime story (until near the end).

Specifically, Rei and Yui talk in Stage 51 on page 244-5 (in the triple edition).

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

Actually, I didn't read down - this could be a bit of explanation: RELEASE DATE: 6th December 2021 - All pre-orders placed before August 21st will be shipped on that date. Orders placed after August 21st are likely to be shipped in January 2022. So the early birds will get it on time (like me ;) ), ...

Well, here in the UK, AllTheAnime haven't changed the release date on their web site, so maybe the problem is local to the US.

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

"Third Children" was originally a Gainax insistence, against logic, but fairly quickly got dumped. Why Khara have resurrected it I have no idea - put it down to some sort of inscrutability, I suppose.

Re: EoE in UK cinemas tomorrow (Sunday)

You'll get the ADV dub, as advertised (as "classic"). The Thursday showings incorrectly got the Netflix dub, for which they have apologised (I didn't mind though!) and confirmed they have sent out corrected copies for the next showings. I was disappointed by the audience in Oxford - but I ...

Re: NGE/EOE All The Anime Blu Ray Release Europe 2021

I've just returned from watching Death (True²) and End of Evangelion in a cinema (part of the run-up to the release next month of these blu-rays). I watched the dub, because I booked it before any sub screenings were announced (they're next week, which would have been inconvenient anyway). Curiously...

Re: What's the laptop screen in EoE's opening Misato scene about?

Remember back in 1995 Unicode was not yet widely used. For Japanese you'd need to be looking at things like [shift-]JIS, EUC, and EBCDIC as well as the ASCII-based options and Unicode you've doubtless been through.

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

86 is curious. The graphics are stunning, and I love the designs, too. It's a great show, and I highly recommend it. However, having read the books (the original is light novels, not manga) I find there are quite a lot of places where the anime doesn't appear to explain what I took from reading the...

Re: Commentary: General (Episodes 09-18;20-26)

What irks me a bit is the Commentary's current use of the nonstandard spelling "Kiel" instead of correct (and more nautical) "Keel". Nonstandard? The spelling used in the English version of the Essential Evangelion Chronical ("Side A" volume) is Kiel, and he is explici...

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

Not going to lie, the loilbait they've introduced in season 2 of 86 is seriously hampering my enjoyment of the show. Her voice alone is like nails on a chalkboard for me. She is, however, an important part of the story going forward. She is the sole survivor of her country's ruling family, and like...

Re: NGE/EOE All The Anime Blu Ray Release Europe 2021

Most anime releases in the UK go to art-house cinemas. But this release (so far just one showing - dubbed - in each of 134 cinemas) is going to a chain (Odeon). My local showing is in a screen with about 100 seats (but I don't know what they will lose to social distancing, which is mentioned on the ...
