Re: Small details you noticed in 3.0+1.0

I really, really want someone to tell this author that the three colors of camera setup Dualshock controllers were just the three default colors they happened to have in the real-life studio recreated in that scene. It might not be true but it’d be hilarious. Yeah I mean I can go off on wild ideas ...

Re: WTF? AAA Wunder construction date

What I'm curious about in regards to Mark 6 and Unit-13 being the only surviving Adams is that Unit-01 is meant to be of equal power and stature to Unit-13. They're mirror duplicates basically, and in Rebuild of course we have no specific implication that Unit-01 is uniquely cloned from Lilith inste...

Re: Small details you noticed in 3.0+1.0

I found a thread on Twitter, with some interesting observations regarding the spear of Gaius: https://twitter.com/cccccc6512/status/1431259668194545670 Hmm, I don't really buy the theory that the colors of Gaius represent Misato wishing for Shinji and Asuka's relationship to work out. Gaius represe...

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?

Why do you assume it's for good? shin made kind of a big deal out of "'goodbye' is a phrase you say so you can meet again" Good point. Even still I also have a similar take that he was moving on, but I'd like to see it the way you put it. To me the final scene had a feeling of "seein...

Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions

Unfortunately, this also depends on your belief about this topic. There is still many people who think "cry" won't help at all. The story associates "cry" with an act that not help other people (only oneself). That's why Shinji won't cry. It fits the "help others" topi...

Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions

I also wanted to point out that I've noticed two camps of folks who either like or dislike the movie fall into the watching the movie logically or watching the film emotionally (or intuitively). This is also something I've observed, and I fall slightly into the logical/slight disappointment range. ...

Re: Small details you noticed in 3.0+1.0

Don't have a picture of it, but one of the pieces of equipment they retrieve from Euro Nerv is marked as "JA-02", aka Jet Alone 2, and it looks pretty similar to it. I then noticed that that must be the bulk of Unit 02's new body in the final battle, since it has a similar silhouette. So J...

Re: Shinji's 4th wall break narration in Episode 21

Like many little oddities like that, it's probably a consequence of the particular writer on that episode using that as a dramatic way to end the episode, without having a plan on how it'd pan out. A lot of the show was made up as it went along. The genius of NGE is how that crazy mix of off the cuf...

I feel ya both on this, Baldur and jedi_spectre1. My perspective has been hovering around for the past almost week since I watched it and my initial reaction was something like yours right now. But then I came around to some other parts of it. But now I'm questioning that take. It's all very confusi...

Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions

Well that was certainly a roller coaster ride. I was gonna say a "roller-coaster of emotions", but frankly although I am emotionally affected by the movie, it isn't in the way I'd hoped (extreme bittersweet happiness/sadness). Rather, I'm glad Anno was able to finish, and I get the emotion...

The third angel though, I got nuthin' lol. And yeah, I think a lot of the lore just gets confusing and bogs down the story (seriously, fuck the spears, I have no idea why there's so much emphasis placed on them when I have no idea what they could possibly represent, they're just big pointy sticks b...

Re: Amazon Prime Video release

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but the redubs for 1.11-3.33 got rid of the NEPs. But they didn't? They removed the references to "more fanservice" but the previews are still there. They even make a new pun with "Q" which seems like evidence of them not being held to as ...

Re: Amazon Prime Video release

I don't know if it's the same for anyone else, but for me the Rebuilds tetralogy is a series where I find each successive entry to be better than the last. My ratings for all four would be: 1.11 - 8/10 2.22 - 9/10 3.33 - 10/10 3.0+1.01 - Also 10/10, but only because the scale only goes up to 10 lol...

Re: Amazon Prime Video release

It wouldn't be an Evangelion finale English dub without some wonkiness haha. So weird history sort of repeated itself, with the dub cast being reworked at the finish line. Also, I almost forgot to share an obscure Evangelion meme in time. https://i.redd.it/rhz6welndfj51.png Picture placed under a sp...

Just a head ups you might want to spoiler tag that. I already knew a certain character shows up but others may not.

Re: Amazon Prime Video release

Skimmed to the end of 1.11, and Misato also says "...many more surprises coming up!" in the preview. Khara seems to have gotten slightly more lenient on the translation process, you guys are right. I think it's sort of mixed, hence me comparing it to 3.33 v2 by Funimation. There's still a...

One could interpret that as, "Wait a minute... somethin' ain't right... Misato usually says there's gonna be service... Does that mean somethin' ominous?" And sure enough, 3.0 rocks everyone's world. And then some. Yeah I can see that. Even so it's interesting because it specifically does...

Re: Amazon Prime Video release

For sure. Normally I’m all about trying to figure it out. After seeing the movie something like fifteen times, though, I’m still baffled, and it just makes me feel stupid. Compared to 1.11 and 2.22, which leave me with such a catharsis, I don’t know, it’s disappointing to me. There’s a lot I love a...
