Re: GKids releasing NGE Blu-Ray in North America 2021

I arise from my dormancy to whinge about the lack of OA episodes. Whether they're the true OAs from original broadcast and original Western DVD release, or the cut-down-tidied-up faux OAs on the Renewal/Platinum DVDs, they don't deserve to be consigned to the rubbish bin of history. Firstly, the OAs...

esselfortium: I often skip episode 7 when I rewatch NGE. It's hardly the most thrilling episode, after all. First-time viewers shouldn't skip it, obviously, but having seen NGE too many times to count, I just find it dull and would rather get to Asuka's arrival quick smart. The thing is...

Watched a bit of NGE/Rebuild with Japanese friends

G'day all, Spent a couple of weeks in Japan recently (picked up the Renewal EoE DVD ^_^ at an exorbitant price :uhh: )... and also had the chance to watch a few episodes of NGE with a few members of the Japanese family I was staying with. Only made it to episode 8, but thought I'd sh...

Oops, totally forgot I'd created this thread... Yep, the visual upgrade would be a bit jarring, but then so is the drop in quality in the existing episode 6 compared to the rest of the show. (I never used to notice it when all I had were VHS tapes recorded from fuzzy SBS, but with Platinum i...

Thanks folks for putting my mind at ease. All glory to the Ornette/Reichu/svenge hivemind. See, I was a bit worried when the red-moon menu screen came up. I was expecting that creepy menu screen from the R1 release. (I'd seen that on YouTube but thought it was from Renewal, because the R4 me...

*hijacks thead* Hey folks. I'm in Japan right now and picked up the only copy of EoE I could find in the local shops. Could I just check if I got the right one? According to the box it's KIBA-1009/10. It includes Death(True)2 and EoE. Audio is Japanese 5.1 and stereo. The cover art s...

If it's any help, the R4 DVD of Nausicaa includes a featurette about Ghibli that mentions Anno's involvement. I think parts of it were taken from that original Japanese TV doco. Anno impressed Miyazaki with his work on the 'God Warrior blows up a bazillion Ohmu' scene apparently. Now...

Hello class. I would like to make an observation about Star Wars. It's a movie in which lots and lots of very very small things attempt to breach the defences of a single very very large spherical thing. And only one succeeds. What are these very very small things called, you ask? X -wings and Y...

Fanedit idea - Rebuild of Yashima?

NB:This is an idea; it's not a project I'm working on myself - I know less than zero about video editing. I'm not quite sure if it's OK to post requesty sort of things here, so mods, zap me if I'm being bad, but maybe it will inspire somebody... Also, REBUILD 1.11 SPOILERS (i...

Almost interesting facts from down under ahoy! In Australia NGE was shown (dubbed) on a national network, SBS, around 1998-99. Admittedly it's the smallest of the five national channels, but still, it's free-to-air. And it's a 'serious' public broadcasting channel with a ...

Argh, real life took hold and I had to run away from this thread for a bit. Because humans aren't that simple and it's tremendously ignorant and naive to think so? Er, I didn't mean in real life, I meant in the universe of the show. A simplification, so that NGE could concentrate on cert...

The film itself is identical to the point where the ZX "fansub" is essentially the subtitles and dub track from the US Manga release, sync'd to the new video and audio from the Renewal release. By 'ZX fansub' do you mean the Zhentarim one? If so, that's a bummer... :( ...

Thanks for the responses everyone ^_^ Just to be clear, I wasn't trying to suggest that the Magi actually had parts of Naoko's soul in them. I was approaching the idea from a writer's perspective, thinking about how Anno and co might try to hint obliquely at the way souls work without ac...

I'm in complete agreement with BeoX2: NGE utterly wrecked my appreciation of other anime, because it was the first 'proper' anime I saw. I went looking for stuff of similar quality and churned through a huge amount before it dawned on me that I just wasn't finding it (with rare e...

Maybe the budget and schedule restrictions squeezed extra artistic juice out of Gainax. (Which also applies to the series as a whole - NGE does things for the price of a paperclip that other shows can't manage for a Rockefeller's ransom.) Regarding the episode 24 scene with Kaworu an...

The Magi, soul divisibility, and Rei

Sorry if this has been covered before - a search didn't turn up anything. Is it possible that the 'three aspects' of the Magi - mother, scientist and woman - are a clue to the nature of souls? We know souls can be divided into portions and presumably later reunified. A portion of Asuka&#...

Gendo. There were hints of it beforehand, but his final scene in EoE turned him totally inside out for me. Suddenly instead of 'magnificent evil bastard' he was 'Shinji in thirty years'. Only he never had Toji, Kensuke, Rei, Misato, mum, Mr Zebra Ball or apocalyptic therapy to help h...
