**As an aside, I hope GKids gets the rights to Rebuild because if they do I could see them going the distance and pulling this theatrical run - minus the 4DX releases - of all Four Rebuilds in the US. Any kind of US theatrical release wouldn't be most likely until the second half of 2021 and by tha...

In order for a monster with a look that bad and wrong to actually work, it needs to also be nightmarish in appearance. This has all of the bad and wrongness without the nightmarish aspect to it.

The real test of Anno’s mental health is directing an Eva finale after the death of Mighty Jack. Every time I tell my roommate that Anno’s cat died, his eyes get real big and he whispers “We’re all doomed...”

Hopelessromantic, Eva Q is a strange beast since it’s shown almost entirely through the eyes of Shinji, and no one else. It’s intentionally abrupt and disorienting, so trying to figure out what any character other than Shinji is thinking or feeling is a wild and frustrating game to play.

Nice. Everything in moderation.

Question: might a second Covid wave delay this release further? I have to wonder if Khara would prefer everyone to watch Shin first, by a window of 6 months or so, and then buy NGE again, so if the former is delayed again, they might insist on pushing the Blureis back as well. I'm not sure what kin...

I mean, this is the first trailer that informed me that the film stars Ron Perlman, and he's always a treat.

It makes sense. The AAA Wunder has to house two whole Eva Units, and Eva 08 actually ran along the side of the Wunder. The scaling of the Eva Units to both models seems like it was be equally similar just by looking at them.

^ I haven't even heard of that one. I might give it a shot.

DAAAAAAAAMN that's a good ass wall of text. Hopelessromantic , I do recommend you watch the episodes you skipped, but Episodes 25 and 26 are really good for the show's final thoughts on the characters in the show, so I'm glad you watched that. Episode 8 introduces Asuka, and Shinji does kinda stand ...

I realize this is subjective but for me Q was one of the most utterly bleak things I had ever seen in my life; I remember being unable to concentrate in uni for a week, the first time that any fictional work had done this to me like normally I just shrug off the exploding heads & never followed...

Yay, Tines is back!

The only Iseikai I have found worth watching were My Life as a Villainess and SSSS Gridman. The first one upends all expectations (to the point where calling it a "subversion" almost misses the point entirely) just to have some honest-to-God wholesome fun with the idea (the show is about a...

I'm sure they rather wanna be found side by side with a roster of Ghibli movies than associating themselves with stuff like "My sister told me I'm a pedophile, so I isekai'd into a world in which I can fuck 8 year olds *and* am the strongest and best around without putting any work or effort i...

^ They're not in the same shot, but the scene as it appears in the teaser feels like a “Shot-Reverse-Shot” edit of two different vessels. I rarely question the use of that technique, especially in trailers or teasers. There’s just not enough information in the teaser in order to make a judgement cal...

Lupin III: The First got some State side screen time this year, even in the middle of a pandemic. Hopefully the same happens with Shin Eva, so I can fret and worry over whether or not I can risk watching it in theaters.

But a trip to Japan is not happening for me.

The audio quality was pretty good, actually. The videographer seemed to have been plugging his video camera directly into the video feed for the video rooms where anime was watched. Many VHS camcorders had a “VCR” setting, where the camera could be plugged into a VCR and record video and sound from ...

Fascinating. I guess that kinda makes sense, but it's impossible to decipher all that from the grammatically weird "n-th Children" phrase. Central Anime is still up? O_o Yeah, man! Their forum still seems somewhat active and their website is still up like it's some anime version of the Spa...

I've no idea how they got their hands on an early copy of Eva Ep 01, but sometime tomorrow I plan on creating an account on their forum to ask questions and stuff. This intrigues me to no end.

Actually translating it as "First of the Children" would also make sense to me, and I wonder why that compromise wasn't made. Maybe using the word "Children" is meant to distinguish NGE from NTE, which does actually use "First Child," IIRC.
