That certainly might factor into my lack of enjoyment of this show.
I mean, predictability is the central attraction and the narrative hook that we've all come to expect from the Evangelion franchise. How come Anno can't realize this? Twice? - FreakyFilmFan4ever

Though of course the BDs with its supposed 90 mins of additional footage may change things for the better.


Yeah, the bridge scene in particular seems to have caught a lot of flack for how much it differed from the VN (Shirou's actions do indeed come off as a lot less dumb in the VN). I didn't know that the BD's were going to have extra footage, but hopefully that will remedy it (and give Rider at least a tiny bit a of a fight scene against Kuzuki/Caster rather than the offscreen mauling she got).

I was more interested in the news off to the side of this news and the fact that Doctor hitomi's infirmary is lower than the harem crap that is Monster Musume is a freaking crime.

Though i appreciate A Centaur's Life being in the #1 spot.

Because Japanese artists are having a field day with the live-action version of Kite.


I may have to watch this. I loved the original Kite, so if this is as good as they say I'll be watching it.

Fucking shit-ass bitches. That mthafucking master of melancholia mahyerm returnz.
Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

And so we arrive at demagogy. - Hideaki Anno, 1996

^Urgh. I think it's possible to contract diabetes from that video. I can't wait until they get to Drei and start battling for the fate of alternate universes and stuff.

Because when that series gets serious, it really gets serious
