Don't worry, Anno is just kicking us down before something happy happens. It's common to storytelling. You need everything to go to hell before it ends on a happy note. The harder he kicks us down, the happier we'll be at the end when everyone is back together.

Did no one bring up the DNA-shaped earth floating into the air at the beginning of the video because it's obvious to everyone all life is getting rewritten? Like is that just a "duh" point? Why isn't Mari in the video, especially with the whole "four" theme? Seems like it...

Did not read this thread but thought I would write my thoughts here real quick. Also, I'm more of a general Eva fan. I've seen the TV show many times and the movies hundreds of times on loop. :p Okay maybe not that general... I saw the dub in Pasadena last week. It was annoying to hear every...

I asked Spike Spencer at this past AX how long it took him to record for 2.0 and he told me just one day. He flew out to Texas and knocked it our pretty quickly. I don't think it takes them that long to record each actor.

I couldn't agree more, but what am I, as the viewer, supposed to take away from it then? Nothing? Is Rebuild supposed to be just pure entertainment, lacking in any lessons for the viewer? Don't invest your time in Japanese robot films by crazy auteurs? :p Maybe CREATE YOUR OWN FILMS AND SHO...

Also the question that really begs to be answered: How and why was Toji's shirt recycled to give to Shinji? That just seemed INCREDIBLY contrived. Maybe to setup Shinji to feeling even more guilty so that when he learns the truth about Tokyo III later it makes him more willing to go along with ...

I consider the biggest spoiler to be the two factions of old Nerv. That's the plot and meat of the whole movie - if you know that, the whole movie becomes too predictable and the newness of the plot is gone. The time skip was just "Okay whatever" to me after the first few minutes. The ...

Honestly I've watched 1.0 and 2.0 about 500 times each (no joke), so I don't think any of us can feel comfort until the final one comes out and we can go back and put all the pieces together. The movies aren't really self-contained, but literally pieces of a work that have to be ...

My best friend put it perfectly: "It didn't answer anything and just added more questions." Unfortunately I'm disappointed in the film. I almost feel like Anno doesn't know what he's doing and making it up as he goes. Of course I know he's not, and that he probably has ...

Can anyone PM me the link? :) EDIT: Thanks Ornette. BTW, is there any way I can help expedite throwing the subs over the video? I run a very large Pokemon site and have a couple translators on call at all times. (Though I personally want to avoid any spoilers myself until I can watch the cam...

I've been wishing for this too. I have recently found that the Eminence Symphony Orchestra did an awesome orchestral rendition of Thanatos (including the ending part, which is beautiful). They have this performance as a DVD and a CD, so you should be able to find it. http://www.youtube....

Wow, talk about Eva's production team paying attention to every little detail. It's amazing how detailed every second of the film is, both visually, sound-wise, and story-wise. I feel so embarrassed now! XD

I just noticed this today on my 200th or so viewing. :p I don't know what's going on, but in the scene immediately following Asuka's introduction where Shinji and co. are in the terminal, you can just barely hear what sounds like Asuka on the phone. You can especially hear it over the CU...

Silhouettes in Pokémon and silhouettes in Eva - it must be my fate to think over these things wherever I go. Ditto! ;) Couldn't the silhouettes just be of nobody? It's outside a store, isn't it? Maybe it's you the customer mixed-in with Eva characters. Or it could be random mino...

Well, when you work on something as awesome as Eva and don't get any recognition, I'm sure it'd drive anyone (in the same position) to anger / arrogance. Especially when you put your heart and soul into it. People like Miyazaki can remain humble because everyone gobbles up their ...

Guess I haven't. Link meh!! :p

Would he really say something like that or are you guys just joking? :p Is there an arrogant side to him I've never heard about?

Wait so they aren't showing the dub at all? Just subs? If so, what's the point of going if we already have the movie? :p

Is the movie dubbed in English or subbed?

Essentailly: Red Ocean: This is explained as an effect of 2nd Impact. It destroyed all life in the oceans. That's why there's that preservation facility in the second movie. Oh, that makes sense - the ocean would have always had to have been red for that theory to work. Unless Rebuild just ...
