The ages of the characters are extremely important to their individual psychologies. It would be pretty easy to slap a bikini on Rei, but changing Shinji's age to 18 would require an almost complete rewrite of his character for it to be believable.

There hasn't been a succesful live-action anime adaption ever made to my knowledge. And I don't think one has ever been attempted on this scale before in either the US or Japan. There was a Japanese LA version of GTO which was quite sucessful (I personally perfer it to the anime). O...

WTF?

It looks like the offspring of an Evangelion and a thorn bush.

Yes.

We did, and yes we're still bitching.

And finally, calm down with all the rumors, I highly doubt Hillary Duff, or the actor who plays Harry Potter is going to have any role what so ever in the movie. ADV said the film was going to have an international cast, so everybody just chill. I think "international" was just a delicate...

As far as all you folks who think the Evas "look fine" or, even worse, "look great" -- all I can do is solemnly shake my head in pity. tey look liek teh CRAP!!!!11 They don't look "fine." They just couldn't be used as a key elelment in the summoning of Beelzebu...

Well, if they replaced Chrisitian symbolisom with Greek/Roman symbolism the name "Evangelion" wouldn't make much sense, they could call it "Titianian" or "Zeuselion" or "Olympion."

That's because the EVAs look fine. It's the Lilim characters they're messing up on. Hopefully the actors don't look as bad (or old) as the concept models look. Well, the person who fits the concept design for Misato is probably workin' some busy street in Hollywood tryin...

Maiden fan, GandalfsWhisper? I always liked "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." Indeed I am. "Rime" is an awesome song, the way they adapted the original poem was exellent. anyway... back to the LAEM I actually like the picture of Ramiel, but the rest of it sucks. Originally posted o...

Um... no. Those pictures have the character designers' names right on them, and they're not "Ray", "Susan", or "Kate". How surprising that there are more complaints about the Lilim than the Evas. http://evageeks.org/ANF-Archive/images/rolleyes.gif Well... the L...

Well there is some good that will come out of this, all of the Eva fans out there will now understand a Gundam fan's distress when referring to Wing. I would think a more accurate comparison would be "how gundam fans feel about G-Savior" Originally posted on: 17-Jan-2004, 04:10 GMT

Daedalus was imprisoned on the island after he built an inescapable labyrinth to house the kings Minotaur son. Because he built it, he was the only one who knew its secrets, and was imprisoned because the king feared he would give its secrets away. Good. I was hoping someone would post the reason &...

That one was you, huh? I don't know. Isn't that greek or something? My guess would be Shawn or something if they're gonna keep giving them all these totaly white-bread Americanized names like Ray & Kate. Icarus is the son of Daedalus a great engineer who was imprisoned in a huge tow...

Th is suppoesed to be an EVANGELION film, not some ****ing star ship troopers cg work. I seriously hope you're refering to the modern film of "Starship Troopers" not Heinlein's Orginal novel. Actually, now that I think about it Evangelion will recieve pretty much the same treatmen...

We don't know, all we know is:

1) some stuff about the Lord of the Rings movies

2) There are some production sketches that suck for the LAEM.

3) Star Wars is Fantasy.

Must... Destroy...WETA ... They did decent work on LotR but this is unfogivable, do they have no concept of asthetics? I mean, I could deal with it if they were different from the show but well done, but this... is crap. Oh well, enough fire will make them see my side of the matter :evil: Edit: well...

GAH!!! IT'S HORRIBLE!!! They look like they're in their 20's, and that undermines like 98% of Anno's original character concepts, ugh! and they could've atleast spelled it Rae (Ray is almost always a guy's name http://evageeks.org/ANF-Archive/images/sweating.gif ) If ...

If you actually read the entire thread you'd know that it's actually 38 pages of whining about The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. The point isn't whether we like it, the point (well at least my point) is that it will (if it ever happens) disgrace Anno's creative vis...
