There's absolutely no reason to do this instead of the usual anime industry grey zone tolerance policy they have followed so far if they don't mean to act on it. I think Khara wants to legitimize fan works officially within acceptable limits. Hence they need to clarify the limits - and at least some...

I have made a topic for Anno's greetings on this anniversary on the Rebuild subforum. Here's the text: With passing of 25 years since the airing started, and with 5 years spent in creation process even prior to that, I feel the passage of time is fast indeed. That from writing the first Proposal do...

These have been discussed previously - but keeping in mind the most recent thread is literally 10 years old I think it's fine to continue the discussion in this thread. The table is clean! Rest of the material in Proposal makes it clear that while Eva was in many ways written as it went along there...

I think forum staff was clear about this tangential issue being taken to pm's, fellas. I haven't had time to reply yet to pm inquiries, but I'll get to those ASAP. Thank you two for your contributions, anyhow! I'm not going to repeat the above explanation for my non-crime. It was just a casual musin...

There's 8-10 years worth forum history behind here, Berserker. Of course you wouldn't be aware of that background and that's ok.

I did make this thread as clickbaity haw haw that's gross but kinda funny Chit-Chat topic, however. Too bad people with baggage had to ruin it.

Frankly, the substantial, serious material in that conversation sounds like it could be a goldmine of information not otherwise available in the West and I'm really curious to know what else is in there. Yeah, they'd certainly be profitable to TL. I guess I'll get around to it eventually, like Feli...

Not everything out there is even that relevant, even if it is well known. This and other interviews are already mentioned and/or referenced in the wiki and/or gwern's. This is mildly related to Eva but hardly essential. Many interviews like these are mostly Anno et al having fun, often drunk, and n...

This isn't even "mod mode", but an honest question: Is this kind of comment necessary ? :uhh: Miyamura shouldn't be "shamed" for having done adult work before her seiyuu career took off. "Sasuga amateur JAV actress" just means how you'd translate it stereotypically: As...

I hope the rest of the article is better the line: " Makes me hopeful that they mean that anyone pinning for a imagenary character is to some extent childish and this entire thing is silly You're welcome. Anyhow, my translation of the line might've been inadequate but "childish" here...

In one of those (drunken) post-series conversations between Anno and Miyamura she made it clear just how stereotypically 'Japanese' and un-PC their sex drives are. Pretty based. Sasuga amateur JAV actress. This exchange is an excerpt from much longer discussion. It took place after TV series had bee...

I can translate that if wanted, but I'm pretty sure that whole interview has been translated before. It's the one where Anno talks about miscalculating regarding Rei by having her character arc reach pinnacle too early in ep 6 and them him literally forgetting about her (for a while), as what had in...

OP, I read your post, I agree with it, but I also think nutcases should just be ignored. Agreed, but alas I had promised a response before realizing the full extent of the quagmire - and promises are to be honored. Was it worth writing 8k words over? Of course not. That's one hell of a return from ...

Excellent post, Xard. I congratulate you, good sir! But to be to be fair I see this as nothing more as a extension of tired, played out Waifu wars that have been going on since these characters conception and the never ending myth, perpetuated by certain (Asuka) fans (and continuously butthurt Rei ...

Apparently some extremely uncharitable (towards Anno and other creators of Evangelion) and ludicruous theories about post-EoE development of Eva franchise being a massive conspiracy against Rei and her fans and in favor of Asuka and her fans have been spawned in the seething post-Q Rei fan haunts on...

10. Group Mentality Nobi was irritated by male Rei otaku at Comiket. Anno emphasizes with her irritation. Anno says that Aum demonstrated that some people are driven to be a part of a group. Anno realized how easy it is to become a cult leader. However, the problem is that human beings also cannot ...

Cut2014年12月号のインタビューで貞本氏は 「カヲルはシンジのことを一番わかってくれている存在なんですよね。わかっているが故に、僕のことを本当に好きだったら殺して欲しいと、矛盾に満ちた踏み絵を突きつけるっていうね」「現実的にシンジが“人を好きになる”ことと向き合うエピソードで、カヲルを存在させたっていうことです」とコメントしている。 In December 2014 Cut Magazine interview Sadamoto makes the following comments: "Kaworu is the one who understands Shinji the...

Oizumi: My wife loves Ritsuko Akagi. At times, she says similar things to her and if I mention the resemblance she becomes elated. " It's tough having a fastidious nature ", for example. Takekuma: In the end I was surprised when she was revealed to be Gendo's lover. What's good about old ...

I guess that, following your point that an anime movie isn't a special medium but simply a movie done in a different way (good point, for sure), it'd be more of a matter of other anime movies being underrated as just "movies" rather than Ghibli's work being overrated a...

You don't need to watch most animes that come out in order have a better understanding of anime than somebody who's only watched Ghibli stuff. Also, watching a lot of anime, and sub-standard stuff with that, doesn't mean your taste is degrading because it doesn't automatically mean ...

I know plenty of people who can do the same and tell me what they like about Ghibli movies. My argument is that many of the people who know and appreciate Ghibli's works do not have anime knowledge outside of Ghibli's work. I know that for a fact when it comes the people I am talking about ...
