I wouldn't mind seeing a prequel to the original series. Even though I don't usually go for that kind of thing, a "before NGE" might be interesting. As opposed to a big shiny theatrical movie, a OVA or even a handful of episodes depicting events and characters pre-second impact, Ka...

.... I found NGE's original music at best appropriately cheesy, and otherwise quite forgettable. Exact opposite for me. I think it's one of the best OST for any series ever. Dynamic, interesting, cheesy where it needs to be, spine-tingling and fitting. It's not quite a Howard Shore scor...

I don't hate the poor bastard. I feel sorry for him. I think old Spikey did a pretty good job. Maybe Yanks of a certain age don't get his character due to what they're exposed/used to. The understanding/liking/disliking of his character is not really dependent on the voice actor. I think...

Perhaps it was (environmentally) used as a simple metaphor for the characters' individual consciousnesses traveling - going on a journey, evolving - toward their destiny. Both as a consequence of their everyday experiences and their inevitable, ultimate complementation. While it is a dre...

I think there will be a core group (outside Japan) who will revere NGE as they do today. Less in number though; but there will always be new fans. Once a n00b is over the whole "what's this old, un-shiny anime? YUCK!" they might just see the depth underneath. Just recently ther...

Hi all. Long time lurker, new user and poster.
Thought it was about time I joined.
