Re: The newest most accurate EoE subs to date are out

If I may make a fairly radical suggestion as a TV translator, there should be three subtitle versions instead of two: "Standard" should be as it is, "Honorifics" should be as it is but without the notes, and a third ("Annotated"?) version should be the exact same thing...

Re: FML general thread [8]

Apparently not. :( The man wins (nickname "Hitler") and claims he will try to act like a dictator. Prior to that he claimed he would bypass anyone trying to block what he wants to do by law, and according to media reports the guy indulges in using death squads to execute anyone who is as ...

Well, I know most of you guys probably don't remember me. I've been lurking at Evageeks as early as 2005 and tried to participate in it back in 2009 when I first registered, but back then, my English wasn't good enough and I couldn't follow up all the forum history.

Re: The newest most accurate EoE subs to date are out

I really would like to help out at some point, but I have a lot on my plate right now so the timing isn't especially great for the level of depth and intensity I'd wish to provide. From what I could read during my digging of older translation discussions, your help would indeed be of much value for...

Re: OA vs DC again

OA post-renewal have indeed SOME cells reused from new animated scenes from the DC, and some fixed animation issues. But MOST of the cells from pre-DC were mantained. This is very notably on episode 22. By the way, I borrowed Episode 23 pre-renewal DC italian DVD's from a friend and did a 4-way comp...

The newest most accurate EoE subs to date are out

As I have mentioned on this thread: http://forum.evageeks.org/thread/17983/Accurate-End-of-Evangelion-subtitles/ I was working in creating new subs for EoE from scratch using 3 different scripts as basis. The work is finally done and the subs are now out. EDIT: Current version, 1.3 (Added most of Re...

Re: Questions on the Philosophy of Eva's last episodes

The development of identity is a key recurring theme with many psychoanalyst. Eva is known to have psychoanalitical theories from at least Freud, Klein and Jung (meh) embended in its narration, the final EoTV episode strikes strongly to me as Klein subject-object theory, I'll just throw this here: h...

Re: How did Misato survive the second impact, shouldnt there be some anti AT-Field?

Antartica is not just Ice, close to the Geographic South Pole, the landmass altitude is 4km above the Sea level. We are never actually shown if the entire Antartica and its landmass was vaporized or not. But I never assumed that the Second Impact completely melted and destroyed Antartica. When we se...

Re: Kaji on the phone?

It seems pretty obvious to me that it's Kaji on the phone. Yamadera would probably try to make a different voice if it was a different character, (Like Yuuki, Hyuga's VA does all the time when voicing generic male characters and soldiers on EoE, although his job is not that good as often his voice s...

Re: Digital Enhancement of Episode 16

Is vectoring capable of imitating the look of ink and paint on cel? After rastering, one can add templates of artificial texture on photoshop/after effects. Acrylic paint tend to look very smooth and flat to the point I believe a fake texture would be unnecessary. Artificially making the strokes un...

Re: Misato's Gun in the Next Time Preview

I think is a reasonable assumption, but even so, it doesn't mean much. Almost countless possible situatinos could have led to Kaji be welding Misato's gun. Misato could have got hurt or needed to separate ways from Kanji and lended her gun to him. Misato could have been hurt together with Kaji and h...

Re: Accurate End of Evangelion subtitles

Well, I have spent some good amount of time building new subtitles for EoE triple comparing the existing scripts from Manga Entertainment, Central Anime, and Evaotakus' bochan_bird translation. None of the 3 scripts are good enough to be used entirely by itself. bochan_bird overall I think is the be...

Re: Should Sadamoto's Manga Be Considered in part Canon to Eva's Original Series or the Rebuild??

No it shouldn't. The original canonicity is strictly enclosed to The original Episodes 1-26, including the director's cut, and the EoE. Even Death and Rebirth's rehearsal scene should obviously not considered canonical. Sadamoto may have contributed with opinions for the char designs, but in the end...
