When Evangelion first aired, what did people think about Studio Gainax? Did people respect it for Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water ? Was the fact they hired voice actors as big as Kotono Mitsuishi (Usagi/Sailor Moon) and Megumi Hayashibara (Female Ranma and Lina Inverse) all that impr...

Kaworu thinks he found out a way to fix the world with magic spears and Lillith, he and Shinji team up and even combine their Evas

Has the 14 year aspect of the time skip been confirmed yet? I can definitely believe that there has been a time skip in general since Toji's sister is older.

I chuckled when he called Gendo "Evil Abe Lincoln clone".

With the new series being out, I thought it would be a good time to start a thread on Lupin III in general.

So, are there any Lupin fans here?

I have been watching two show so far. Folktales from Japan Yeah, it's a kids show. However, I am mainly watching it for cultural reasons. Lupin III: A Woman Named Fujiko Mine I'm a Lupin fan. Plain and simple. It also helps that I LOVE the art style. I might watch Kids on the Slope down the ...

Ah, well. Who cares if Koichi Yamadera can speak English or not. All that matters is that he is one of Japan's best voice actors. Plus, he is the new Zenigata for "Lupin III".

Anyone else getting a STRONG Studio Ghibli vibe out of this?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in Japan, don't they do the animation first and THEN the voice acting? If so, than forget production. This could move into POST production soon. ;)

Does anyone have a favorite performance from anyone who hadn't played any of the characters before?

J. Michael Tatum plays France in Hetalia. Now I have this image of Kaji messing with Shinji's head only instead of kissing him, he is forcing the poor boy into signing a marriage registration form.

In case you need to understand what on earth I am talking about.

This is the opening for Evangelion in Taiwan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8mYJ9hUQzc Talk about misleading! I especially love how the song sounds like something for a 70s mecha anime!

Thanks to this thread, I watched Colossus: The Forbin Project. It was a great sci-fi movie. I can see why the film crew added that in.

I recently watched Inception recently and it got me to thinking. If we were to enter the dreams of Evangelion characters, what would we see? I know that I would probably be stuck aboard that subway Shinji is always on.

Don't get me wrong. It was good for Misato to cheer on Shinji for FINALLY doing something proactive. It gives me one more reason to love her. I was just wondering why she was doing that when the scientists were telling Shinji not to go "too deep" or something like that.

At the end of Evangelion 2.0, Misato is cheering Shinji on to save Rei. It was clear from Ritsuko that what Shinji was doing was potentially dangerous. Why was she encouraging Shinji anyway? Did she know that it would cause Third Impact or something as bad? If she did, why the encouragement?

Do you think Kaji's attempt at speaking English was intentionally bad? Everyone else was doing a pretty good job, especially Mari's actress even if she did have a slight accent. The people that Kaji was talking to seemed to be confused at what he was saying. Then again, I may be expecting to...

Disney's The Third Child of Notre Dame Quasimodo- Shinji Judge Claude Frollo- Gendo (They are both great manipulative bastards) Esmeralda- Misato Djali- Pen Pen Captain Phoebus- Kaji The Gargoyles- Toji, Kensuke, Hikari The Archdeacon- Fuyutsuki Clopin- Hideaki Anno Disney's Misato ...

I was just joking there.

I see everyone's point. It does lead you into a false sense of security. I'm just imagining this situation. Bob: Have you considered watching Evangelion? Joe: After hearing you bragging on how deep it is, I just might. Bob: I have the DVDs. Joe: OK. I will watch it as soon as I can. (Aft...
