If Anno truly hates Shinji, I don't think it's an active and malicious hate (despite what's gone on in Rebuild). I don't think it's a hatred that festers within Anno's very soul. No, if Anno hates Shinji it's subconsciously. Anno has expressly stated that all of t...

Dropping the bomb that Rei = Yui kinda killed what seemed to be the developing romance of Rei/Shinji in 2, so that's done (unfortunately). Asuka basically hates, or is very disappointed, with Shinji and doesn't show anymore the bit of romantic interest that was in 2 kills this ship. ...

I don't see how that's obvious at all. Why can't they just be giant cyborgs operated like any other robot? And why change the term to begin with if it's supposed to be the same thing? Because they aren't just giant cyborgs - they (or, at least Unit-01 in NTE) are "a...

Definitely super interesting - Revelations is fun to read and speculate about from a person outside of Christianity, and even if Anno just puts this shit in superficially it still shows he's gone through the trouble (maybe) of looking it up.

Definitely N4I - everything about it was both beautiful and horrific at the same time. Plus, the lead up to it was great to, from when Shinji and Kawuro entered the chamber with Lilith's body and all the skulls and FOIs, and then the battle and Gendo talking to the head, and the shutting down of...

A little late, but if I'd like to complain about the sound quality in the theater I went to - it sucked. At some points it was muffled and quiet, and at others there was an obnoxious buzzing sound. Plus, they seemed to literally be playing the movie off of a PS3.

Ah well.

Fair enough. I would've much rather it had been the subbed version, but it would've been a bit redundant because I could see it from home for free.

Mt Olympus#691926 wrote:Nice!!! I prolly talked to the same lady as you; i asked her if it is subbed or dubbed and ended up asking the manager and he confirmed it is indeed dubbed.

It's dubbed? That's disappointing. Oh well, I still want to see it. The theater experience has to be pretty cool.

I'll be attending the Mansville, NJ showing @2pm. I live in Montgomery county in PA, if you want to carpool or need a ride let me know. I'm going to that one too, with a friend. Same showing. But we only live about 20 minutes away, so no ride needed. That said, I'm still not sure if it&...

And what Shinji won? Ability to accept himself as pathetic human being? In above circumstances that's rather pointless victory if victory at all. If this is what you took away from NGE, then you missed the point entirely. Forget about the robots, the master-plans, the gods and aliens and ancien...

Woops I made a typo : I meant astronomy , the science of studying celestial bodies, and not astrology, seeing the futures with the stars. Like pwhodges said, Shinji asked Kaworu to look at the star with him, he even says that he liked to do that since he was a little child because it helped him cle...

Wait, what? Since when? I don't remember that in any of the NME movies.

The brother of a friend of mine got his for, like, $65 off of Amazon or something, I believe.

The biggest problem is the importing/shipping, which drives the price up a lot.

In all honesty, I'd probably have to say Q/3.33 felt more like NGE to me. Yes, 2.22 was more...similar to the series, and shared scenes and the like even with all of the changes. However, I'd side with Q because it felt more NGE in atmosphere and whatnot. Like some sort of cross between EoE ...

Yeah, I like the video and whatnot, but I'm not sure why Shiro thinks this'll be the last time he'll do the jingle. 15 years ago I think people, and Shiro himself, probably assume Ep.25 was the last time we'd hear the Peaceful Times jingle too. After EoE, the series was effectively f...

That's disappointing. Extremely, extremely disappointing.

I liked it.

And here's to here's hoping she does something for both FINAL and KH3, now that she's back from hiatus.

So, whatever happened with the supposed new character? I'd check the site myself, but I'm having trouble navigating it.

Oh man I am hype as fuck.

We need more details, though. Much more.

I really liked their translations for the first 2 films and from what I heard they did an equally good job on this one. I'll probably order from Amazon since they look like the cheapest site for the BDs. Funimation did the official NA releases for 1.11 and 2.22, right? I thought they did a pret...
