Re: Shin Eva - Official Blu-ray Release 2022!

Pre-ordered the regular edition. I (mostly) enjoyed Thrice Upon a Time , but there's a premium on space in my anime drawers and the collectors edition seems like it'll be thicker. I don't have a 4K player, anyway. I wonder what English dub will be on it. I'm assuming the one from Amazon, since I dou...

Re: Shin Eva - Official Blu-ray Release 2022!

Still, for those hoping for a VSI dub I can at least hope you get that. It would be nice (I’d love to hear Casey Mongillo take on some Rebuild scenes), but I’m not holding my breath. The Rebuild dubs are at least tolerable as they are, even the Dubbing Brothers ones (less so than Funimation’s, thou...

Re: Shin Eva - Official Blu-ray Release 2022!

I wonder if they're going to redub the movie first. Or at the very least clean up some of the mistakes of the existing dub.

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

I ended up storing my Ultimate Edition set in a drawer in my nightstand, lying flat down. The more I think about it, the more I realize I don’t actually need or care about most of the extras. I haven’t read the booklet yet.

Re: [Request] What is, currently, the best option to present this series to newcomers in English?

I’m personally more of a fan of the newer, VSI/Netflix English dub of Evangelion, despite a little clunkiness in the scripts (which has been overblown, in my opinion). I find that, while the voices may not be quite as distinct as in the ADV dub, the actual acting is far, far better. It’s less hammy ...

Just got my Ultimate Edition today. So heavy! I watched the first couple of episodes to spot check. Looks great. And I was already sent the replacement disc, so I'm in business.

Well, now GKids has gone and delayed the Ultimate Edition sets until January because of "supply issues". I don't know why they didn't prepare the Ultimate Editions before the cheaper sets, I spent more money on mine than others did for the cheaper versions, I, and the other Ultimate Editio...

That said, I think she did a decent job in 3.0+1.0.


I echo this. I've never really liked Grant's Asuka, but she is amazing in that scene toward the end when Asuka talks about her past.

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

I have said several times, I'm happy both dubs are included. Although I'll always regret the new divide caused in the Fandom by the redub when its clear by later backtracking by them on it that it wasn't the most thought out decision. I'm glad the people who got what they wanted from an Evangelion ...

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

The set says that it has over 7 hours of bonus features…is that just talking about the old dub or are we also getting some behind the scenes and such? Japanese commercials, the Japanese cast auditions, animatics, the deleted segment of the live-action part of EoE, the making of said segment, and mu...

Why would you want versions of episodes that have LESS footage? It's just the same but without the extra bits.

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

I bought the Ultimate Edition... I kind of want to throw up over how much I spent on it. Maybe I should cancel it and wait for the standard edition (GKids promises "future editions"). But I think I'll wait to see what features are on any standard edition before I cancel my order.

Re: The Last Train Station Scene

He can move on from the world of Evas by helping rebuild the society in the world he was born into and help solve its problems rather than rewriting things so that the problems never existed. This new world he creates is just as big a cop-out than the world Gendo wanted. EoE Shinji was mature enough...

Re: The Last Train Station Scene

I don't like the idea of Shinji creating a world in which there never was any Evangelions (as if they were the problem), because it's just running away again to another world rather than dealing with the world he was given. Kind of goes against the entire main theme of the franchise.

Re: Do I just not understand Mari's point?

Mari's entire point is metafictional. She's there as a stand-in for Moyoco Anno, guiding Shinji (Hideaki Anno) to a happier state of being.

Except, you know, Anno forgot to give his wife's representation any character development.

Re: How do you feel about NTE? + Rank the movies!

The best one is 2.22, by far. It has everything Eva is about and should be about in a well-measured quantity. The second best would probably be 3.0+1.0, though I do have a few mixed feelings about it. 1.11 is good, but it's basically just a remake of the first few episodes of the TV series, so there...

Having seen it, I have some mixed emotions .
