I don't think Asuka and Kensuke are supposed to be a pair necessarily, but Shinji and Mari in the last scene are pretty clearly portrayed as being in a relationship imo.
But I don't think that scene is really about that.

Re: NTE's interpretation of the characters
I don't really take -120min into account when thinking about Rebuild.
It's a fanservice short by someone other than Anno. It was fun for what it is and very pretty but that's about it.

Re: Shin Eva - Official Blu-ray Release 2022!
Even better, 4k discs are usually region free. I can play all three Shin Eva discs (bonus features are standard bds, which aren't a guarantee).

Re: Shin Eva - Official Blu-ray Release 2022!
I spent $2,000+ on a 65" 4K OLED TV, I care very much. Do you own the Japanese bluray? I think for people who want max quality that's the best option. It has no subs but Ive had it on without them just to enjoy the visuals (I've seen the film often enough that I approximately know what's being...

Re: Shin Eva - Official Blu-ray Release 2022!
Yeah I see a clear difference there.
The only way to notice the GKIDS bands on my part is by having screen clarity very low. Otherwise I immediately notice them.
I feel sorry for American fans. Obviously some people might not mind, but others will.

The 4K edition hasn’t shipped out from RightStuf or Crunchyroll or wherever my order’s being kept. I’ve heard that the 4K edition is on back order at Crunchyroll’s warehouse, but I don’t have an order with them, so I can’t presently confirm that.

This is a pretty big deal, isn't it.
Did you notice this in 4k too?

Re: NTE's interpretation of the characters
^ Asuka is by far the most egregious example of this, I HAVE to believe that the “curse of Eva” also kept her mentally stunted because the alternative proposition is that this 28 year old woman still has hang-ups over some boy she knew for a couple months 14 goddamn years ago. You probably shouldn'...

I'm sorry but Oshii is an idiot. To call someone as thoughtful as Oshii an idiot because some tabloid shaved every bit of context down into a one-sentence misrepresentation, clickbait that by its easily-spread nature will outlive any ignored attempt at a nuanced correction, is too depressing for wo...

Re: FPS for Evangelion Intro?
All of Eva is done in 24fps, the cinema standard. :)
As for keyframes, that depends on the shot. But it was always shot at 24.

Re: Do you think Asuka would forgive Shinji for his actions while she was comatose?
I feel like the characters are beyond our understanding of forgiveness and such after experimenting Instrumentality. The last scene in EoE seemd to me like they can mutually understand, but having a scene anything other than as dark as it is would have been tone deaf.

Well it's only natural. It just doesn't cost as much to make a film like Shin Eva.

Mari is many things that to me don't translate to real-life hardcore otaku, not least of which the fact she's shown to be a highly skilled scientist and proficient at combat. I don't see why the curse covers Mari but not K...
