The first one is now available for commentary! Follow the link in my signature; it's "Preview", under "01". I can't imagine there is much to say here, but by all means, if you have something, shoot!

BTW: Don't be too hasty... I'm a zealot, so I posted this thread before all of the thumbnails had finished uploading.

Reichu: As you can see, the Next Episode Previews were originally 15 seconds in the broadcast version, expanded to 30 seconds for the video release, and, enigmatically, cropped back down to 15 seconds for Renewal. Considering Renewal is supposed to be the ultimate release of NGE, it's odd that they would do this -- but, overall, a fairly minor quibble.

I believe the 30 second PVs are on Renewal as extras.

...They are? Can anyone positively confirm this?

And, Shin-seiki... "Okaeri nasai!"

The 30 sec. previews are accessed thru the link highlighted at the lower right with the odd little mantis silhouette. As far as I can tell, they're the only extras included on most of the Renewal volumes...

And, Shin-seiki... "Okaeri nasai!"

Are the 30 second previews on Platinum?

Unless they're an Easter Egg... no.

And, Shin-seiki, forget about the downloading! The commentary and your Ritsuko thread are the only things that truly matter! Image

So thats how you do it. I always thought that was a witch.

On a side not I think Renewals menus are very appropriate. The first volume has big fluffy whit clouds but as you get to the later volumes the clouds get darker until they are black.

So, uh... Does anyone have any comments? People did seem to express interest in me making the Jikai Yokoku page at one point...

15 second:

01: Gee, isn't that a spoiler? Oh well, not as bad as the preview for ep. 23.

06: Promises, promises.


30 second:

01: See above.

04-05: She's making this episode sound really depressing.

07: See 06 above.

Shin-Seiki:

When she says, "Okaeri nasai", you're supposed to say, "Tadaima."

7 - Considering that most anime gets mildly criticised for being too heavy on the 'fan-service' isn't it odd that NGE boasts about it? It's definitely not as if the promise of seeing Misato's scantily-clad form could ever be what was drawing in the viewers, is it?

01: Thanks for the ending...

Otherwise I don't get the need for 30 sec previews. They both give the same info cept one has more pics. Plus if you own the series why would you even watch the previews?

I was adding some of the comments to the first jikai yokoku, and I had a couple of questions...

Does anyone know offhand if Mahoromatic continues the tradition of promising "SAABISU, SAABISU" in its previews? I could have sworn I overheard it when I was checking some of the files I downloaded (but never really watched)... If worst comes to worst, I can always dig it up again...

Also, anyone know which episode of Abenobashi does a parody of the NGE preview?

01 - Why would they reveal something like this in a preview, it seems to be a big spoiler, especially the way the Episode 2 is organized. Perhaps thats just a sample of the fact that this series isn't just about gaint robots fights, and Anno kinda kills the suspence on purpose to achive this idea. But I'm most likely reading too much into it.
