Assuming if I HAD to pick one *cough* Ambiant *cough*, I'd pick Shinji most likely. Yeah, boring choice, but his life isn't too different from mine other than the Eva stuff, so I'd slip in just fine into his roll...including all the horrible stuff too...*slowly glances at DVD copy of EoE* If I could...

I don't think the time skip is meant to be taken literally (like IMO most stuff in 3.0). Asuka being the same after 14 years stands for her lack of progress I think, in the sense that a lot of her issues have stayed the same (like the short temper). She is also stuck in the past with the apparent c...

Fantastically well-edited! Never knew just how many shots were repeated! Blew my mind! :gasp: To me, it's not really a bad thing either, usually because I never noticed when they were reused. They hid them that well, though maybe it's also because I have a trash brain and I don't pay attention to de...

Netflix is beholden to khara, who have no obligations to anyone but khara. And khara has every right to look out for their own interests, as opposed to those of fans who give an outdated adaptation priority over THE ORIGINAL WORK. I have no tolerance for the ADV dub. It creates confusion about the ...

Apparently we're not allowed to make that argument in any meaningful way without being directly sequester with "But it's more accurate (Netflix)" argument or our objections being outright silenced...Essentially this stupid purist fan mentality sees to it that we're not even allowed dot ha...

If you're referring to when Kaworu says "you deserve/are worthy of "koui"" I can tell you for a fact no official translation has ever translated that as "love". This is a myth that popped up because some tweets used some old fansub as proof, but that's based on plainly...

I mean, for the show, movies, and Rebuild movies, there was quite a bit of merchandising (though more in Japan than in America, there was still some around here and there.) Basically, I'm asking this: 1. Do you think promotional merchandise for the movie will come the U.S.? If so, when? (Personally,...

No, it's simply the most accurate one. GoatJesus also has a video listing some of the many outright mistakes in the old translations which created many problems in interpreting the series. Those were all fixed. "suki" doesn't carry enough weight by itself in Japanese to fit the English &q...

I guess that last part with the "Westerners imposing their opinions" makes sense since I heard from GoatJesus and his BL Analysis video of Kaworu saying "it means I love you." I just want the most accurate translations of the show. I was just wondering then what the line's TRUE k...

I'm surprised I haven't found this thread before. Here are my thoughts: Honestly, for me, I think Shinji X Kaworu is one of the best ships especially since it's part of all the storylines for the franchise (Manga, OG Series, and the Rebuilds.) The two of them are adorable together and function as go...

Sometimes translations can be such a quantum leap forward that older ones simply become obsolete, but this isn't one of those times. At all. One could translate NGE again right now and get a translation exactly like much of Platinum right now . It's far more literal than Kanemitsu's version but for...

Your response is more confusing than clarifying, in the sense that it barely feels like a response to my post at all. But that aside, three points: - ADV did not work on the original movies. That was Manga Entertainment. So talking about an "ADV dub" and then referring to stuff in EoE as ...

I think the answer is pretty obvious, right? :shifty: End of Evangelion (EoE) is my favorite ending by far. It's the most real, the most possible (at least in the context of the show), and the most screwed up. I just really like how everything was just...GONE basically by the end. End of TV (EOTV) i...

Why is it a good thing that it's "accurate to the original translations"? What does "original" even mean? There are three different sets of subtitles that ADV produced for the show; only the most recent of those -- Platinum -- is any good in terms of accuracy. The dub was create...

I may not have made any of my own AMVs, but I've personally got a YouTube playlist that's got quite a few NGE ones. I'll link it here, it's got a good mix of everything and I'm trying to update it as frequently as I can so I can basically make it the "ultimate NGE AMV Playlist." :lol: Tell...

I was loving every minute of it, but when the psychological stuff (not sure what episode they started doing that stuff in EXACTLY) started happening, I started to question myself, the world, and everything in it. I felt pretty depressed from it because minus the robots and angels, you have a down to...

In my honest opinion on the entirety of it, I know there were some translations changes compared to the original (one I can name of the top of my head is the infamous "it means, I love you" scene from Episode 24.) But I think as a newcomer the sub is overall fine, though I would say if you...

> 1. Are they as good, better, or worse than the original series? It depends on your criteria. The movies aren't being done on a shoestring budget (time or money) as the original TV series, and have the benefit of a decade-plus of computer animation technology advances. > 2. Are the characters just...

Well, we technically DID see Shinji asking Asuka to help TWICE in EoE (once in the hospital with "THE SCENE" and the other with they're at Misato's house, which is meant parallel Episode 15 when they kiss, except there, they're just themselves without anything masking their true selves.) I...

Not so much as no final boss fight, but the way the TV ending appears to drop all the running plot threads (e.g. what about those other Eva units talked about in episode 22?), apart from the one that was just bubbling in the background since episode 2, the Instrumentality Project. That style of rea...
