As you heard. Pandemic has hit hard.
In my city there is this little independent cinema that used to play art movies and in general, hipster-y films. There is a philosophy university in the city so that helped it stay afloat.
And then COVID started. They can't open the cinema for a year and now that you can, nobody wants to go.

They have just two rooms, one of 100 and one of 50 seats and since they can't even fill them up, they are offering a great opportunity: for a mere $500 MXN (25USD) per movie, they will let you put anything you want as long as no more than 15 people enter the room.
I didn't think much about it until BAM, it hit me!

So now me and a couple friends are planning on renting the room to play Death and End of Evangelion back-to-back
The cinema even opens the candy shop (thats where the real money is in cinemas anyways) for you and your friends...
If everything goes as planned, I may end up watching 3rd Impact on the big screen

Then the real fun began: someone suggested renting it once every two weeks or so to watch classic anime films. So far we are fantasizing on Akira, Sailor Moon R, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Ghost in the Shell, basically the entire Ghibli catalog, Advent Children, Madoka Magica and whatever else we can think of as long a we can. I'm sure once they can operate normally again they'll suspend the renting, but until then

Sounds rad. I'd kill to watch End of Evangelion on the big screen.

We did it!
I just returned from our private screening. 12 people in total pooled in to watch the movie. The owners opened candy store and everything for us. Finally, a few minutes late Evangelion Death began:


But on to the second feature:



And guys, it was awesome!
As an Eva fan for ~18 years (more than half my total lifetime!), watching these animation gems like this is nothing short of a dream come true!
Many scenes look and hit different in a large format. Overall I hope others get the chance to watch EoE in a cinema at least once!

Ok, fanboy moment over!
Now, on with the existential dilemmas that nag at those that recently saw EoE

Good for you! I'd love to see EoE on a big screen, it seems like a wonderful experience.

Oh how I envy you.

It's heartbreaking to hear how the pandemic has affected independent cinemas, but it's inspiring to see people like you finding creative ways to support them and enjoy movies with friends. I remember a similar situation with a local theater in my area. We organized a movie night with classic films, and it turned out to be such a blast. There's something magical about experiencing those iconic scenes on the big screen. Your lineup sounds incredible! I'd love to join in for some anime nostalgia. It's all about creating those special moments, especially with movies on now being such a rarity these days.

What kind of Movies we can watch on this website? means which type of genre?

This to me would be a dream come true. I remember going to the movies with my family after having seen EoE and just thinking about watching it on that scale, it really is like an event to actually be in a theater with complete immersion. I hope I can get the opportunity eventually, so awesome!
