Re: Debate the quality of Rebuild here. [2]
Not to delve too much into spoiler talk (for reference, I haven’t read the 3.0+1.0 plot yet), but would you say 3.0+1.0 justifies the artistic choices made in 3.0? Or would you prefer if 3.0 had been presented in a more standard, straightforward manner, even if the events of the story stay 100% the...

Re: Debate the quality of Rebuild here. [2]
Rewatched 3.33 (and the other two, actually) and consulted the Wiki's FAQ guides for areas I had trouble in. Definitely enjoy the movie a lot more now, though I wish it were more narratively satisfying and adhered to any form of conventional plot structure. Shinji admittedly did get more focus than ...

Re: Debate the quality of Rebuild here. [2]
Watched 3.33, very funny joke, Anno. I can barely piece together my thoughts right now, but I feel like I watched a 1 hour recap of a 4 hour movie. I appreciated the visuals, and how jarring the change of setting came, but the details of the plot are so obscured that I barely had any idea of what wa...

Re: Debate the quality of Rebuild here. [2]
Watched 2.22. There's a lot going on here, wow. I'm still not entirely sure what I thought of it as a film, but it was a fun viewing experience. -I loved the parts of the film that take the story in new directions, and found those sections to be the most entertaining and effective. Conversely, when ...

Re: Debate the quality of Rebuild here. [2]
Moderation can move this to an appropriate thread if this doesn't fit, but since I didn't see an 'initial reactions' thread and I don't think one is warranted, I'll put this here. I finally sat down and watched 1.11 (dubbed) last night, and for what it's worth, I enjoyed it. -The visuals are stunnin...

Re: How did you first get into Evangelion?
Maybe it's not my place to bring this up, but I can't help but notice you deliberately avoid gendered pronouns when referring to your partner. Do they identify as non-binary? Again, it's none of my business, so apologies if I'm sniffing around where I shouldn't. Ah, no, it's perfectly fine. I tend ...

Re: How did you first get into Evangelion?
Also, does your partner like Eva half as much as you do? They enjoyed it enough to want to rewatch the show as soon as we finished, so they're certainly engaged. They're a quieter, less analytical person, not the type to do endless research or read other's thoughts on the show on their own volition...

Re: Evangelion Pic Thread 10: The Society for the Appreciation Of The Premium Girl (and her friends)
Asuka https://i.imgur.com/CV0p2a8.jpg [/spoiler] Yeah, this one right here. I've noticed (this might be a me thing) that Rei gets more artsy, stylistic fanart on average than Asuka, so it's nice to see the opposite. Does Rei's character just attract certain types of people? I don't know, but it's s...

Re: Speaking in LCL
https://wiki.evageeks.org/FGC:Episode_05_Cut_317 The LCL is clearly back to yellow-orange and judging from the way Shinji's hair is standing up, it's back to being a liquid. Interesting. I can't remember any other scenes like this, even when the EVAs are directly damaged. I'd chalk it up to artisti...

Re: Speaking in LCL
LCL's always bothered (or fascinated) me in that regard. Like others here have said, it's handwaved away for narrative purposes, and it's incredibly easy to forget that the pilots are in LCL in the first place. All three of the pilots move as if they're in air, and we hear them communicate with NERV...

Re: How did you first get into Evangelion?
Without a doubt. A day doesn't go by where I don't think about Eva, its characters, or messages. I'd imagine this is what it's like for people who are religious, and compare everyday situations to their faith. It's a little ridiculous to hold a piece of art in the same regards as a belief system, bu...

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender (WTF is your avatar/sig from?)
Mine is a very happy Asuka, drawn by Moesashi. ( https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/64971244 ) It's my single favorite piece of Evangelion fanart I've stumbled upon. Seeing Asuka, or any of the characters for that matter, smiling and happy gives me life, so it was a no-brainer that I'd use it as my a...

Re: Star Wars Episode II - A New Thread
The original came out locally in the run-up to my university finals (those were the days when international releases could be a year or more after the States), and it was a breath of fresh air after the drab and dreary fare, like Silent Running , that the 1970s had brought up to that point; and it ...

Re: Star Wars Episode II - A New Thread
As a longtime fan of the franchise, it's always interesting to hear the opinions of people who didn't watch the films as a child. Star Wars is one of those things I feel like you have to see as a kid to properly enjoy, because a lot of its effectiveness hinges on the emotional connections that child...

Re: Official "Hello/Goodbye" Thread!
Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! By way of warning, Asuka is one of the more obviously rebuilt characters in the Rebuilds, starting with the name change (Shikinami instead of Sohryu). That's unfortunate. I knew about the name change, but a friend who's seen the Rebuilds assured me that she sti...

Re: How did you first get into Evangelion?
I'd imagine my history with Evangelion is unconventional compared to most, because it's been present for the majority of my teenage years, but it took up until a week ago for me to become genuinely fixated on it in a way that was deeper than superficial appreciation of the visuals. I was first expos...

Re: Official "Hello/Goodbye" Thread!
Hello! I just finished watching the original series and EOE on Netflix with my partner a few days ago. I had already seen it at 14, but it didn't resonate with me on a level deeper than an appreciation for the show's designs and presentation. During this rewatch, something clicked. The characters fe...
