Re: Netflix Release General Discussion

It's a shame Netflix wasn't doing daily rankings of what people were watching on their service back in Summer 2019 because I def think NGE broke into the top 10 for at least a few days. I don't know if there was anything like an immediate "Netflix Bump" when the series premiered on Netflix...

Re: Why is NGE, despite it's cultural impact across entertainment media, is rated an 8/10 at best among western receptio

An 8.5 out of 10 is a pretty remarkable score all things considered.

Especially for a show like NGE that takes a lot of creative risks and swerves that go against normal storytelling conventions.

The real proof of Eva's worth is that it's still a cultural impact 30 years after the fact.

Re: Shin Eva - Official Blu-ray Release 2022!

But man this is a slow Blu-Ray release. 17 and coming on 18 months since the initial theatrical run and it's not even been announced. I'm hoping an announcement is soonish. Now that Amazon Prime's exclusivity on the film is over Khara should be free to release it whenever they want. Maybe they're g...

Re: Shin Eva - Official Blu-ray Release 2022!

Was kinda hoping GKids would take advantage of August, September & the first half of October being so slow this year - the studios have had to delay their movies because of VFX work & because some are strictly keeping their projects on their streaming services - to get Evangelion 3.0+1.0 a j...

I mean I'm always glad to hear opinions on TV shows, books, stories & movies that are drastically different from my own but sheesh, sometimes a take is just wrong.

Re: Fuyutsuki's voice actor Kiyokawa Motomu passes away at 87

It'd seem Anno was aware of Kiyokawa's declining health. Maybe he had something terminal also. I doubt, nor would I hypothesize, it was anything so dramatic. Kiyokawa Motomu was simply old. All reports are he passed away due to pneumonia and he likely recorded his lines for Thrice Upon A Time over ...

The releases keep on coming. I've never heard of Konnichiwa Festival but they appear to be a distributor of anime and not a film festival and they've scheduled Evangelion: 3.0+1.01 - Thrice Upon A Time has been set for a theatrical release in Mexico and other Latin American countries starting Septem...

Re: Fuyutsuki's voice actor Kiyokawa Motomu passes away at 87

RIP to one of the greatest voice actors. An online translation of Anno's condolence letter for his passing. Some translation errors for sure but seems Motomu Kiyokawa was very glad to have been able to finish his work as Fuyutsuki in the Rebuilds. I'm very glad he was happy about and able to finish ...

Re: Shin Gojira (a.k.a. Godzilla Resurgence)

Somebody argued Shin Godzilla is war propaganda?!!! If the movie was war propaganda it would've ended with the military eradicating him. Instead he's temporarily incapacitated through an infrastructure plan! One that will need to be maintained and watched over to keep things under control! .... Oof

Re: Hideaki Anno's Bonbori Matsuri Lantern 2022

I wouldn't be that surprised of a new movie, even without Anno... still being a hit and making a truckload of money. The problem with the battle between Art & Commerce is there really is no winner. There's zero debate that more Evangelion wouldn't make money. I would never say otherwise. I'd ar...

Re: Hideaki Anno's Bonbori Matsuri Lantern 2022

I really hope Rebuild stays on Prime though. It's a comfortable way to access the film + I feel we'd lose 3.0+1.01 otherwise. Don't worry. The Rebuilds likely won't be leaving Prime for years. Or maybe ever. Only change is that soon the final film will be accessible through other (legal) means besi...

Oh interesting. Where did you get this from? Mostly deducing. There's no official announcement or anything but the signs are there. Streamers generally sign contracts for shows or movies they didn't make based on years. Like " Streamer A' has paid X amount of $$ for 'Show B' to only stream on ...

Re: Shin Ultraman

Not a lot of big movies coming out in the US for the next two months so hopefully they'll aim for a September release when they could likely get more screenings at more theaters at a cheaper rate & won't be competing with the big Hollywood movies that would take priority.

I honestly don't expect this to lead to anything except maybe a glimpse of this version of Unit 02 in an Asuka flashback in an extended final cut of Thrice Upon A Time on the eventual Blu-ray but whatever it is maybe we'll learn about it soon because the one Amazon Prime exclusivity on the film ends...

Re: Hideaki Anno's Bonbori Matsuri Lantern 2022

When the Rebuild project was born it was also intended to be a quickie project that the team would knock out in a period of less than two years and was likely designed to raise quick money for Khara to do other projects. Then the project grew, became more ambitious and Khara spent over 5 years makin...

It's a neat design and does look like a piece of production art for animators to reference that could've been made at some point in the series long production but I'm surprised everyone is already jumping to ideas that this could signify a 5th Film.
