Re: So like, what does Thrice Upon a Time actually mean?

It's also a quote - the title of a science fiction book:

Re: Is Ship Shinji x Asuka the worst ship ever?

The quality of a ship is in your mind; it is not something objective that can be decided or proved by others for you.

So make your own decision - and if you feel the need to announce and defend that in public, do it calmly, and with some plausible reasons.

Well, not exactly. Although it's not "live", the photo of him with Shinji is shown at least twice in circumstances that make it significant.

Re: How do you feel about NTE? + Rank the movies!

1.11 - β+
2.22 - α
3.33 - α+
3.0+1.01 - α-

That's overall; I could give different rankings for thematic development and execution.

Re: Amazon Prime English Dub Cast

I was disappointed by the dub (of TUAT - I haven't tried the others yet). It's not bad exactly, but I was surprised how often the delivery was stilted when the text was such as could have been delivered naturally. Some people have criticised the translation, but while there are inevitably some rough...

Thus showing the maturity which understands that rewriting the whole world according to his own desires would simply have been monumental arrogance, as exemplified by his father.

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?

I see Mari as Shinji's mentor and friend as he faces reality and adulthood, with no romantic linkage at.

Re: Amazon Prime Video release

In the UK, searching for "Evangelion" only finds TUAT (and the documentary). They've just added links to the other films from the last film's page, but that's all so far. You'd think they hadn't got things ready or something!

Re: Amazon Prime Video release

Only TUAT. Amazon.co.uk is clearly doing its own thing with regard to Prime Video. In fact, even though that Prime Video site with all four films shows me logged in, if I try to navigate to my watchlist in it I am thrown out to Amazon.co.uk and told to look there. https://cassland.org/images/EG/pv.j...

Curious - it lets me add them to my watchlist (including TUAT, which was already there), but when I go into my Prime app it still only shows TUAT.

Re: Amazon Prime Video release

I believe so - I'm lead to understand that the worldwide release is coordinated to 12:00am (i.e. midnight, 00:00 hrs) GMT (= UTC). That means late on the day before in the US (Thursday in this case).

Welcome back. I'm glad to see you able to face this part of the world again. But I know also that often people in your position take stock and make major changes; so it would not be a shock if you decided to move away from here permanently.

Wow, they even got FMTTM?! Those are the old trailers, not Amazon. I'm intrigued that some languages are going back to old casts, and others are using the more recent Netflix cast. Someone seems to have been thinking about the decisions, even if we won't all agree with the chosen options. It also m...
