Re: Shin Eva General: Reborn

I don't think Shin tries to offer a solution to society problems. I think it focuses on the emotional aspect of the characters and their struggles. That seems to be the focus of the story. I guess that the happy and promising ending for Shinji in Shin is just happy way to say goodbye to the audienc...

Anima, by far

It's stupid, but at least the author loves the material.

Re: Shikinami: Did we just get Ocean's Twelved?

^I've got to disagree, Shinji and Asuka admitting they like each other is therapeutic, it just needed more build-up. Asuka and Shinji just needed more time together in 2.0 and 3.0 that was spent elsewhere on other priorities. Rey never needed to be a Palpatine, or a nobody. Both reveals by Johnson ...

Re: The more civilized RahXephon comparison, 3.0+1.0 edition

As a gamer, I'm only gonna say that nobody cares if a game is a rip off, as long it is a good game. It's only peyorative when it's a bad one. Survival horror fans know one thing or two about that. Still, I wouldn't mix the works of a same creator with products that ride a trend. I remember reactions...

People have absolutely asked for more Eva, otherwise it wouldn't have been made. Jäeger, you keep arguing from the sole angle of "I don't like it and it's not the original, therefore it must be artistically invalid". The only reason you think that way is because you refuse to look at NTE ...

Re: Shikinami: Did we just get Ocean's Twelved?

Did they talk about why they were so against Asuka? I think it was simply that Mari was a blank canvas, while Asuka carried plenty of baggage. Baggage? Like Shinji or Rei. And the blank canvas ended blank. Still, someone (any Anno's advocate) will call it "modern art" So cut her (Asuka), ...

Re: Will 3.0+1.0 Negatively Impact The Legacy of Evangelion?

I have no problem with a happy ending, and EoTV, underneath its inscrutability, was very much already a happy ending. In fact I prefer it less to EoE because its happiness feels a touch naive, but not anywhere near the Shin ending of "let's reward Shinji by pairing him with a one-dimensional g...

The sad truth is that a "creator" has spent 15 years of his life creating a fanfic of his previous work, which only took....2 years. A fanfic no fan asked for. "Move on, grow up" :facepalm: And the funny thing is that just in a few years NGE will still be synonimus of Eva. Broth...
