Re: Evangelion Pic Thread 11: Mari's Middlesex Manor of Mayhem and Fantabulous Foppery

Wait. Tsubame? Shinji?! ....wow, ok. No, Sakura. Tōji's younger sister, who is the nearest to Shinji's effective age in the end (which is why I brought them together in my fic). There are two versions of that picture - the first without rings, and the second (shown above) with Shinji and Sakura hav...

Starts dark, and just gets darker: Texhnolyze.
Not so dark, but an engaging lesser-known story: Kemono no Souja Erin.
And not to forget a long slow build: Monster.

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

Yes, they were based on the same process as the renewal/platinum version. The only way to get the real OAs is the Japanese Archives set, or (in the US/UK) the pre-Platinum "Perfect" edition.

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

My guess is that the "exclusive" aspect is probably no more than the cardboard slipcase and whatever the "O-card" mentioned on it is. But anyway, it's £5 cheaper at present than the same Standard set direct from AllTheAnime, and $1.70 cheaper than Amazon UK's starting price for it.

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

The Ultimate and Collector's editions are 11 disks, whereas the Standard is 5 disks. Given that the difference is the disks with the old dub and sub, and the on-disk extras are the same, bar one, I'd expected there to be less than double the number of disks for the big editions; it seems to me that ...

Re: In-universe explanation for a the Biblical nonsense…

Maybe if someone had been feeling a bit different the day they decided on the names they would’ve called them “Apostles” Which they did in the Japanese, of course. and named them after the apostles of Christ, of which there are conveniently 13. which wouldn't have been so convenient really, as NGE ...

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

It's likely that in the English 5.1 tracks the dialogue is in the C channel and the music in L and R - so the music alone can be removed or replaced without having access to more original mixing materials. Indeed, I have edited FMTTM into the Netflix tracks.

Re: What are the final versions of the TV series/Death?/EoE?

Absolutely! Incidentally, the account of the DC versions above is not quite complete: the version of the DC episodes from before the Renewal release which was Platinum in the US is distinct. These were issued on DVD in the US as "Resurrection" and "Genesis Reborn" in livery match...

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

I thought a major aspect of the FMTTM problem is that Gainax only ever had rights for Japan anyway. The series then got sent all around the world through agreements made by Gainax, and FMTTM has been used worldwide for twenty years without any rights other than for Japan. It's not surprising then th...

Re: The Last Train Station Scene

Having two worlds at the end, one for Shinji and Mari and another for the rest isn't as way out as all that, actually. At the end of EoE, only Shinji and Asuka have returned to the real world - everyone else is still in instrumentality, though they now have the option to return if they desire. So ma...

Re: Amazon Prime Video release

Heh, I must check that out. I'm not using the Roku Prime app myself; instead I've ripped the movie from Prime, put it into Emby, and watch it using Emby's Roku app which works more the way I like (and of course allows me to select sub and audio tracks as I wish).

Re: A little question for non-supporters of "Sequel Theory"

Think about the lore. There are many and great differences in the underlying lore of NGE and NTE. Just for one example, consider whether Evas require to contain souls related to the pilot to be able to function - in NGE explicitly yes, but in NTE equally explicitly (by example) no. If one wants to p...

But if you were Japanese, in Japan, that is not the wording you would use. This is a Japanese series, and going too far with localisation can become a form of distortion.

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

Just throwing this out there: if this interpretation is correct, does it imply that EoTV and EoE are entirely different endings, rather than different tellings of the same ending? They always have been , but this site is very good at denying stuff it doesn’t like. As an argument, that is no more po...
