When did you watch Eva 1.0? [split]

[jim_loves_randy]

Pardon me, I've only got back into Eva recently so I completely missed the first Rebuild movie until a few months ago, so I had ample time to get a hold of a subtitled film.

How long after the official release date of the movie did you guys watch it, without going to Japan? With subtitles, since they take a while to make. I'm assuming of course you guys used a "peer sharing program" to get the movie.

Create a new thread for that if you must; it doesn't belong here, and I'm not splitting a single post from a 17-page thread.

short answer: the day after it came out on DVD there were something like 1,200+ torrent seeders.


However, somehow, somewhere in Japan, after it came out in theaters in September 2007, someone pointed a camera on a tripod (or something) at a screen (probably someone working at a theater?)....creating a "camrip".

This camrip was of low bootleg visual quality, but the audio was great and the quality decent enough....considering that it *wasn't even on DVD in Japan yet*

fans scrambled to make fansubs (the good old days all over again!) post 'em on THAT BOARD, etc. and ultimately, we had a fansubbed camrip of the film by January of 2009.....5 months before it even hit the streets in Japan.

Of course, most of the point of Rebuild 1.0 is that the visuals have been updated; in the original series they do the usual thing of TV series skimping on certian visuals, but Rebuild is movie-quality animation. Problem is that that isn't readily apparent on a poor-quality camrip.

Nonetheless it gave us all a fairly good idea of everything they've changed. The result being that by Aprilish, we'd run out of stuff to talk about :) because they hadn't changed that much, just a few critical things.

Ohfortheloveof--can'tanyofyoufagsread...

I watched it when the DVD came out. I WAITED THAT LONG.

[Ironfoot]

Well, giving a bone to this sorry "thread," I saw it when the rip and subtitles were readily available on that board. I don't remember exactly when that was though.

[CorporalChaos]

Watched the camrip a few days after it was first "released" subbed.

[Deluxe]

Saw it at this year's Anime Expo... and walked out after 5 minutes.

In other words, you just saw the first five minutes.

That doesn't count.

[Deathmask]

I also waited for the DVD release. Painful months they were.

[Action_Bastard]

dvd release(I think). I downloaded it from megaupload.

No nested quotes.

......(yikes) the ENTIRE point is that the first 15 minutes aren't drastically different, so as not to SCARE OFF fans who hate it when they change things...then the last half hour changes ALL SORTS OF THINGS!

but on general principle....I mean we use the phrase "5 minutes" but you literally left after 5 minutes and didn't even hear them out?!

[Deluxe]

^ That applies to you too. Quote only the last person you're referring to and don't quote the preceding post in full.

Okay. Maybe not 5 minutes. I left when little bitch is told he/she has to pilot the Eva. Then it occured to me that I already know what's going to happen, and that I don't need to see it REDONE IN HIGH-DEFINITION!!! *echo echo*

[Deathmask]

Yes you did.

Anno's directing in this movie just makes Evangelion feel like a much more epic experience in my opinion. Not only that, but I'm extremely interested in how he's going to work the next few movies, seeing as the storyline becomes almost completely different after the first movie.

[master_lloyd]

I acquired it from this forum, just before I joined, so February I guess.
Although I had been looking for a few months for it.

Shitty Cam-rip was shitty.

Rumour I heard is that Funimation have the license... but that's a bit second hand. Supposedly they've been sending CaD's to fansub groups.

Haven't seen anything about it on ANN or otherwise though, so y'know... it might just be rumour.

secondhand from Who? CaD's are screener copies or something?

[Dartz]

It's very second hand...

Storm of Dragons on Evamade got it, and I think he got it from 4chan. Yeah. It's gone through more mouths than the village whore, but it seems possible.

Found the /m/ thread...

After that is a long string of legaleze. I hope you watched it while you could.

http://zip.4chan.org/m/res/2293207.html :Be gone in a day or so mind... but here it is.

So it's not a license as such, more 'acting on behalf of'... but it seems possible.

[The Bastard King]

Still haven't seen it.

[Jinroh]

Saw it at this year's Anime Expo... and walked out after 5 minutes.

Yeah and what's the point then?

[mrpanda]
