Re: Commentary: General (Episodes 09-18;20-26)
Episode 14: 132: Considering what a wobbly production this show was, I'm lowkey amazed there's only half an episode of recap filler. 168: So, whom is this report intended for since it astroturfs the whole berserker incident? That once-mentioned city council, perhaps? 374: Okay, why would Gendo even...

Re: Last Movie You Watched
The Simple-Minded Murderer (1982): Young Stellan Skarsgård plays a Forrest Gump type in 1930s Sweden who suffers horrible mistreatment in the hands of a literal Nazi Scrooge, until he finally snaps and the film turns into First Blood for a brief final stretch. Gorgeously shot and completely metal w...

Re: Commentary: General (Episodes 09-18;20-26)
Episode 13: 014: That's one huge mecha cliche that NGE avoids: there's no gaudy mid-series upgrade, not even an armor upgrade à la Tekkaman Blade's blaster form. 018 (replying to Ursus): I would assume Asuka forced Shinji to walk through the corridor first, without any backward glances. 024: What w...

Re: Commentary: General (Episodes 09-18;20-26)
Episode 12: 001: Just a year after the events of Godmars. 021: Here's one of those redesign things that you cannot unsee once you've seen it: Misato's necklace has its hole placed differently in the movie. [Proper wiki-quality screenshot upload of this is needed!] 036: Toji, you literally ran a bus...

Re: Commentary: General (Episodes 09-18;20-26)
Episode 11: 061: A pretty cold reminder of how high the stakes are. 082: Cuts 081-082: Editing is used here to essentially spell out "Kaji is the saboteur". What remains an open question is whether he also planned his elevator encounter with Misato. Was he hiding in his pocket a remote co...

Re: The Wiki Thread (General)
I've fixed a broken link on Matarael and Sahaquiel's pages, linking to the thesecretofbluewater.com Nadia/Eva comparisons. The original site seems have been lost, so I switched the link to an archived version - but is it possible to get a direct link to the relevant Eyes, Neo Atlantis and Angels sub...

Re: Commentary: General (Episodes 09-18;20-26)
Episode 10: 031: Asuka lampshades a super robot trope that's as old as the genre itself: the good guys have a strong tendency to just rely on turtling even though the baddies never send more than one monster at them at a time. This is usually explained away by having the enemy advance base being hi...

Re: Commentary: General (Episodes 09-18;20-26)
Episode 9: 010 (additional commentary, replying to Zusuchan): It's probably not a particularly hot take to say that Evangelion's super weird, super deconstructive reputation is largely the reputation of its final two episodes, but when evaluating its impact, it's also instructive to keep in mind wh...

Re: Retro anime or games with dark, unsettling vibes?
Just some titles off the top of my head. For unnerving atmosphere, see Betterman, Infinite Ryvius, Ergo Proxy, Take the X Train (only available as a fansub); if you want something gorier and sleazier, check out Genocyber.

Mega64 Swedes Evangelion (which also counts as remaking Gigabots).

Re: Last Movie You Watched
The Pyramid (2014): In case you thought As Above, So Below was way too much of a classy affair, this is the film for you. It's one of those bad films that would probably benefit from being cheaper and more Asylum-y. But to give credit where credit is due, there's one remarkably good scene involving...

Re: Last Movie You Watched
Thunderbirds are GO (1966): No wonder this thing bombed hard, it's like a stillborn Tales from the Thunderbirds Universe anthology film that abuses the three-act structure in pretty bold ways. The music video dream sequence is rad as hell though, and it demonstrates beautifully what Supermarionatio...

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now
A "visuals aren't everything" twofer: Platonic Chain: If you can get past the primitive CG animation, this short form series from 2002 is actually a mildly interesting snapshot of its time, as it tries to imagine what a near-future society with all-pervasive social media might look like. I...

Every Day (2018):
We will be better off as a society if we just collectively agree that this was the western Your Name remake. It came and went, it's out of the system now, and nothing else needs to be done with it.

Re: Last Movie You Watched
Wagons East (1994): Inside this mostly unfunny nineties western comedy (that killed John Candy) is an absolutely pitch-dark wokesploitation comedy that wants out. This should be remade. John C. McGinley steals the show as a gay stereotype so over the top it's actually amazing. Happy Valentine's day...
