If i recall correctly, it's supposed to be a western.


I've heard this before. Yes, I think George Lucas borrowed a bit from the Western genre. But calling it a Western is a bit far-fetched.

Because I like something better than I like part of Star Wars, I don't like Star Wars.


1. EU doesn't represent the true vision of Star Wars and is not canon.

2. Episodes 1 & 2 are canon and the true vision of Star Wars (even moreso than the original films).

3. You like EU more than than you like Episodes 1 & 2.

4. The things you don't like are the definitive works of Star Wars, they things you do aren't.

5. Your opinion is valid.

6. So is mine.

7. Let's get over it.

Nobody here, could be the fan of 2 things unless they liked both equally. That's what I make of your logic.


I don't understand how you deduced that from any of my prior statements. But no, That's not what I mean.

The name changes don't bother me as much as I thought they would, so far at least.

I like where they've gone with Ray's look, I couldn't imagine it any better.

Let's hope that Kate isn't played by an actress who looks as freaky and butch-faced as that picture.

I'm really loving the plug suit designs, top job.

Eva-01 looks anorexic, but I'm glad that she's not bulky, that would be much worse, like those prototype white Eva-01 pictures for the anime, yuck.

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 Image )

If this movie gets made with these designs I will protest in front of a random theater that shows it.

My Eyes!!! They burn!! Why God, thou has forsaken me!!


I mean, they look like they are 25 for Christ sake.

And what the **** is up with the names? Does it really matter how you spell "Rei"? Any why rename Asuka? Is there something wrong with the name "Asuka"? You would think they would keep it the same for at lest some sense of the original.

Imagine if they did this to LOTR. And I think names like "Théoden" are stranger than Asuka....


If this is a look into things to come, tv33 is pissed.

Protest? Anything below kidnapping and arson well not be sufficient.

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, the non-eva/non-character pics are okay, but what were they thinking with the character art? Especially Misato, she looks like a 49 year-old drug-addicted prostitute.

I don't understand why Susan has a cyber cop type look to her. And the city looks too sci-fi and futuristic. Everything else looks surprisingly good though. Let's hope they get someone cute to play Ray, love that hair style.

Urgle....

Looks like standard "Make it more realistic and detailed for the movie" stuff that usually happens to medium-changing adaptations.

But I wonder, where is Shinji (or whatever the heck they'll call him)? That is probably what would unsettle my stomach....

NO! OMG, please, just... no!!! :bawling:
Just what the hell is that? And they made Asuka with Liv Tyler's face!
Seems that they can't get LotR out of their mind!
I bet Shinji will looks just like Frodo!

Aside from the unforgivable possiblity of changing Asuka's name, I think this looks really great.

And no, I don't care if they spell Rei's name differently, because I won't be watching this film with subtitles! Boo ya!

Kate Rose? KATE ROSE! I really hope that Anno steps in soon and pulls the plug on this bullshit! This is really an insult to the world that Anno worked so hard to create. And I'm sure what ever they are planning for the story will be too.

You forgot one thing:

Anno. Doesn´t. Give. A. Sh*t.

He turned his back to animation and doesn´t want go back. All he cares about this movie is if he gets any moeny in it.
