For me the 2.0 Zeruel combat synthetizes two battles. Zeruel, with the EVA-01 awakening + Armisael, with the Rei sacrifice to protect Shinji. Same the battle with Bardiel, synthetizes two episodes: Bardiel + Arael, in that scene are the EVA-03 destruction and the subsequent impact on Shinji plus the...

The use of kindergarden music in both scenes pretty different: In Gundam 00 is used how background music to words in a final scene, in a much more conventional manner. In 2.0 is used how lead theme in the scene creating a counterpoint and a much more intense dramatic effect, in a style akin to the u...

To soon in the series to tell if what the reviewer says about the film series is true or not. Its true the fight scenes seem like they where ripped out of a certain series about drills, and Shinji is acting more like Simon. For me remember more FLCL or other Tsurumaki works, and have some reference...

Rebuild is horribly compressed fan-service. It is not for casual movie goers or anime fans, it is for Evangelion fans. The only thing worse than Rebuild 1.0 to introduce someone to the Evangelion franchise would be either Death, The End of Evangelion, or 25-26. Really? So i ask again. I'm think...

but rather scenes in 2.0 were pointless, EG the decontamination scene, Asuka's shower scene Really, only that? That are 'rather' ? lol But, yeah, comedic scenes are character development too, have fun with characters make then grow in viewer perception, and really, plainly comedic scene...

2.0 has its own plentiful share of issues, except it's problems center around skimmed character interaction and (some) rather pointless scenes. Really, I'm tired of hear that. These "pointless" scenes are for character development. For what I read in reviews and some dialo...

Easy: not

What I had once considered good art (not good animation, mind you, because as a rule, anime is pretty low in terms of animation quality) Anime have his own techniques and do a good profit of limitations. Good animation not necessarily mean have a million of things moving in the screen. Anim...

For me she talking to the EVA have more sense in relation with the last Mari sentence in the floating plug, when she give thanks to the EVA for accomplish his duty. Mari give a arm to her EVA, and her EVA use the arm against the angel core in a small berserk, both Mari and the EVA-05 kill the Angel ...

EVA was three weeks on the top until Harry Potter No, Eva was two weeks on the top until Gokusen. :) Yeah, I mean in the top three, but is a good result for a niche film. In Japan anime can be otaku, but the market for that niche is not as much tiny how in europe where I live, here in spain the...

Kaji: {...And that's why I'll leave the rest to you!} [I wonder if Kaji is even (supposed to be) speaking English here. One of the words almost sounds like badly mutilated Russian.] If that is russian perhaps could be saying gospodin (sir) o tovarich (comrade) Doubt ...

EVA was three weeks on the top until Harry Potter, three weeks, for me is a good mark for a anime 15 years old, I call it succes. Pokemon is a kids film, that have a public assegurated, same that films how Up or Ice Age. Rookies is a film about a baseball manga with an ongoing TV series, one of the ...

So much studying to do! So she's talking to the Eva, here? :EDIT: Could it be that she 'dropped' the arm to escape the Angel's grip/attack while simultaneously keeping it in place and gaining freedom of movement to deliver the final blow? I think she might be talking to herself - or...

:sees Eva-02 tits: :curls into fetal position against wall and starts rocking back and forth: Nifty model, but it's not quite the sort of thing I want to associate with "Evas" specifically... I cheked the beast scene, and I belive that they add a bit of imagination to the model. The f...

Tsurumaki was the lead director for FLCL and in rebuild is the director for battle sequences.

Anno give with him to Khara some of the best talented Gainax staff.

Its a war, in the war innocents are killed, really, I dont see a problem here. Its is not banaliced and Shinji appears shocked. Toji punch Shinji in the first episodes for the same reason, is EVA after all. In BSG the baby was the first victim of an total holocaust, its representative of all the sub...

This is where the NERV grunts are supposed to have their "whoa wait a minute" moment. Instead they turn their brains and EVA-02 off in the next scene, stick Asuka in EVA-03, and never consider the subject again. They need going forward with their own plans, the existence of an EVA-06 buil...

What "context"? The only thing left for the treaty to do is theoretically outline that, in a situation where an Angel completely flattened Japan and incapacitated Units 00, 01, and 02 without actually destroying or deactivating them in some way, any neighboring country with perfectly work...

EVA is not Aliens, The Godfather: Part II, 2010: The Year We Made Contact, or Terminator Salvation. 1.- Is Japanese anime, with the Japanese anime humor style, not an american movie. 2.- Anno and his team break the fourth wall in many of their films, you see FLCL? The movie is directed for Ann and h...

OK, 2.0 is comedic in the part that original series was comedic, and that is silly... now, ok. I dont see contradiction with first reviews, perhaps because the reviewer dont see that blantantly silly how you. Also, is Tsurumaki, FLCL and Diebuster autor, the person under the combat scenes, what you ...
