I'd be incredibly anxious about the way that other directors would handle Eva, although I did enjoy the altered manga version so there's every chance that a new spin could be refreshing. I'm stuck in a weird state of hoping for a Western Eva adaptation and hating the entire idea of that at the same ...

I personally love it and it's relation to the original series, what with how they both coexist - not in two different forms of canon. It's one of those films that I see as masterful in almost every regard, and inspired me massively as an aspiring artist, sorry for sounding pretentious. Although ever...

Anno's most admirable trait - at least for me - is that he tells the story that he wishes to tell, regardless of what everyone else thinks. Rebuild is a great example of that, and I agree. These films are massive achievements, and I would give credit to all involved. It revived the conversation arou...

I can't believe I forgot to list Shinji's personal theme. That one used to be my all-time favourite, I'm too much of a sucker for music that fits the character to a T. It doesn't help that it's orchestral,another weakness of mine. These posts made me go back and listen to the full soundtracks, and b...

I believe it's a tick brought on through his frustration and lack of confidence, he does it as a sort of defiant gesture that goes unnoticed due to the way he is. It's possible that it's something that he does as a result of moments of emotional distress, I've had particular moments when I'm incredi...

Hey all. I enjoy watching really awful movies (the so bad it's good kind) with friends just to completely shit on them for a laugh, and was thinking now would be a good time to move on to shitting on awful games for a laugh. If you could, would you suggest a few 'so bad they're good' video games for...

I just finished reading 20th Century Boys, and I'm so glad I did. I can't believe I put it off for so long.

I like your spin on things, although I do think that Anno probably meant it in a more broad sense in regards to the franchise. I think that Mari as a character is one that breaks (or rather 'destroys') Eva's world in some regards, and bends some set in-universe rules and such. She destroyed people's...

It's very reminiscent of how the manga developed Shinji's character close to the original, whilst giving his character new sides, like his bursts of confidence. It keeps things fresh and interesting, at least for me. I can completely understand how the Rebuild's version of the cast is appealing, it ...

Honestly, I don't think he does. Shinji's actions (or rather lack of in some cases) are incredibly frustrating to sit through, sometimes infuriating in fact. But I can't find it in myself to hate him - mainly because his character's core is arguably the most human of all in the cast. We are selfish,...

The reprisals of old tracks in the soundtrack are great. They can completely change the tone, and by extension the core meaning of the piece (Happiness to hopelessness, the other way round and everything in between), which makes for a whole new experience when listening to them back-to-back. It carr...

The successful 'modernization' of the series through these films has gone greatly underappreciated by the masses, it's cool to see others feel the same as me. Seeing 3.0 in a theater gave me real insight into how spectacular the visual elements of these films are - it really is a work of art. I too ...

The closest thing to a dream of Evangelion I've had was moreso an amalgamation of the horror shows I'd been watching beforehand mixed with the end scene from End of Eva. The red ocean was clearly visible from the balcony of my room, it had this subtle scarlet glow that was oddly soothing, but surrou...

Those aspects of the Rebuilds are really refreshing to see in the scene of modern anime, it's as you say (just a disclaimer, this isn't me saying modern anime is bad). I feel like there's a deep passion put into these movies, and I'd much rather have the product released by passionate creators as op...

It was a few years back when I was first getting properly into anime/manga, and it was during a very edgy phase. I searched for any sort of "Controversial" anime that I could find, and controversial = Evangelion. So yeah, I had found it through that, kept it on the backburner, and what act...

I've just now caught up with the latest of Berserk, and Miura is making us suffer with giving us Griffith right after those massive chapters before. Eh, it has been a long time since Griffith's had much to do, although counting up the gaps in chapters, that could be said for anyone.

This is really good stuff man!

There is a lot of negative stigma surrounding the Rebuild movies thus far, if the fourth and final film will resolve these issues is yet to be seen. I can agree that it's faults are fairly stand-out, but if we were to talk solely on the matter of their strongest aspect, what would you guys say it is...

I've noticed quite a few tracks on the OSTs are very lounge-y, if that makes sense. That one is a good example, it's really tranquil and chilled out.

I have really surreal and odd dreams on a regular basis. I've had numerous recurring dreams of my old nursery, where there are spindly-legged versions of my old teachers trying to hide behind the tiny play equipment outside. It was freaky at first, but over time it became kinda funny. The idea of th...
