Re: Evangelion References and Homages
A File from the recent game Stellar Blade, recounting from what I think is supposed to be a crappy tabloid lol.
Apologies for the blurry picture- it doesn't seem like the PS5 lets me easily upload screengrabs anymore so I had to use my phone.

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now
It's my understanding that there's an ambient vibe of "Do we get to win this time?" fantasy all throughout the two big boomer space franchises of Yamato and Harlock. It's just a thing that is because their creators were from a generation personally affected by the war, and it can get stal...

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now
In text Harlock is fighting for "Earth's" liberation but subtext seems to me like he's trying to liberate Japan from AmeriKKKan occupation. I haven't seen Arcadia of My Youth in years at this point and didn't like the movie much, so maybe I'm really overstating things but between that and ...

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now
The idea of the boy and the wizard BOTH being Hayao standins for different parts of his life is really interesting one I haven't considered before. Gonna have to ponder that. Hisashi score was really good too yeah, and as far as Oscars go its insane it wasn't nominated over like Dial of Destiny...

Re: Darling in the Franxx (Studio Trigger)
Well I think she wanted to protect him or whatever in her mind yeah, its not like completely unreasonable concern or anything, but she was also jealous that somebody was going after the boy she liked. That's what made her an interesting character I think, and lead to infamous kiss gambit she pulled ...

Re: Breaking the American Mecha Curse
I think the movies suck but its hard to say the Michael Bay Transformers movies aren't a major cultural touchstone in America, far above that of Pacific Rim and the like. They may not be piloted mecha but they're still mecha. So with that in mind I don't accept OP's premise that mecha never really t...

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now
I caught "The Boy and the Heron" in IMAX and quite liked it. Felt very immersive and honestly as more people watch this I'll be curious to see what people make of this thematically. I caught this in regular theaters, but I didn't really vibe with the movie. I quite liked the music, and it...

It's Stage 26 where you get Shinji, yeah. Him and EVA-01 can pretty solo almost the entire rest of the game on their own lmao.

Re: If you could make any Evangelion products you want...
As for games, we need more Eva games or remasters of the old games they made. Evangelion characters have been in many games like Monster Hunter and Ninjala. I rather have them have their own games rather than be in one for a collaboration. The last thing I want is for them to be in Fortnite. Have y...

Re: Godzilla & Kaiju General!
Saw Minus One yesterday night and really loved it. It felt like a fusion of Godzilla movies and like, Roberto Rossellini or someone like that. Like if you could somehow imagine a kaiju attacking partway through Germany Year Zero that's sort of what this is. Also the basic premise here of kamikaze pi...
