EOE Credit Sequence

In the American release of the EOE DVD, the music on the credits is less than spectacular. I mean, it's alright, but it could have been a good track.

Personally, I would have liked to seen a slow, and long credit sequence of single credits fading in and out to a white background. I would have wanted the music to be 'Pachebel Cannon', the same music used at the end of Death.

What about you guys?

I'm talking about the final credits, after Shinji chokes Asuka.

End it the same way as it ended in Japan - credits during the intermission, at end blank white screen, then blank black screen, then confused viewers :)

Even a twenty-second pause before commencing the Mangle creds woud have shown better taste. And for the love of fuck, some SILENCE! :roll:

The reason for the credits at the end, rather than the middle, might have been due to MPAA rules. I know that the rules state you must have the director and producers name as the film starts for instance, though this didn't seem to happen with EoE. Hmmm..

Or you could end it like the video release and have simple white credits on a black background scroll to Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring. That's my favorite version. ^_^

well, what can you expect from the need to translate the credits, and bandai-style so as not to sacrifice the almighty dna credits roll? (to be fair, bandai's release of "infinite ryvius" has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING playing over the translated credits at the end of each dvd for some bizarre reason, but that's another story.)

i agree that "jesu, joy of man's desiring" would have been a better choice for the translated credits... the piano version, i mean. or they could have just included them as part of the extras or something. ah well, it wouldn't be mangle if it didn't have less-than-stellar release quality. r_r
