I've never watched it but I heard at the end humanity turns into goop, and a kid masturbates over an unconscious girl.

And that a few of the eps were really shit cause the company was cash-poor.

That's the movie the creator made to shit on all his nerdling fans that sent him hate mail after the show's finale.

By remake do you mean the reedited episodes that were in the anniversary boxset or... ?

Well it’s not. It’s a great show.

I'm a big Eva slut but I'm not sure I would call it a great show, objectively. There's a lot there and it's an important one, to be sure. The animation and drawing style are not among the best or most distinctive, budget cutting is pretty obvious at points. The story and tone goes off the rails somewhere after the midway point. The mecha/kaiju/1960-1970 homage & super cool SF visuals of that fortress city of the first half of the series has always been a joy in rewatch : it's light, it's spot on, it has just the right amount of weird ideas, playful grandiloquence and genre perversions Gainax excels at. Once everything (both in the story and actual show production) start going into that abyss of despair, it's really hit-and-miss in execution no matter how thought-provoking, subversive and intellectually interesting it can be. It's not the best thing Gainax did, it's maybe not even their best TV show.

Now, granted, the series turning dysfunctional and mad is what makes it so distinctive and a memorable flawed jewel instead of a serviceable above average show. But it's maybe not for everyone. And that TV ending... It's a wee bit shite in hindsight. Not-writing-death-threats-to-the-creator shite (well nothing is, really, but you get the point) bit it's pretty obvious it's the botched result of a team that wrote itself in a corner while running out of steam and money. I'm not in any way spiteful about it, failure is part of creation and it's what makes Evangelion what it is but I think fans tend to have a pretty heavy rose tinted pair of glasses to be able to see it and think it's a writing master plan imbued with philosophical wisdoms for the ages.

End of Evangelion is a great film however.

LK had his then-GF do another take and in my mind, they are the official English lyrics.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNvqtKv1bPo

The theme song to an overrated anime
Someone kill me I'm already depressed!

ADV was a company
Who financed the dub of a popular show
That was then, this is now
It's become a cash cow
The shadow of what it used to be

How the hell
Did it do so well?
When the main character is totally gay
He whines like a girl, and fights like one too
Shouting "I must not run away!"

I always thought that anime heroes were meant to have big manly balls
But this guy Shinji seems quite unable to pick himself up when he falls

Why the hell do people think this show's a masterpiece?
It's a cartoon about a bunch of giant mechs
Interspersed with the story of an emo kid
And some pointless religious symbolism

By the way, the movies are all bullshit
Don't pretend you understand the ending!

Show is a mixed bag.

Like the characters. Well, some of the characters.

Like the mecha action. That's cool. Eva 01 wrecking shit was amazing to me the first time I saw the first 2 eps.

The story though. It's trash. Utter trash. I and other people at the time tried to decipher it but really, it's just a ridiculous story.

The worst part about Evangelion is how it ruined Japanese media after its release. Before Eva, a lot of Japanese stuff like games and anime were decipherable. Now they thought putting random latin words, completely indecipherable plots, meant making a good story. It's like they thought making a confusing, deep plot full of bs meant a good story. You can see it its influence in a lot of Japanese media after its release. It just made a lot of things for the worse.

Back in the day, it was highly suggested to read viewing guides and analysis to understand Eva. I printed out like 20 page analysis in 10th grade to understand the shit. Eva made that horse shit mainstream.

Eva sucks. But also, Eva doesn't suck. Up until episode 20 or so it's pretty good and it goes downward from there.

Also said nothing of Eva clones. FFVII took clear inspirations from Eva for example and it has not a single mecha.

the original dub was one of the better dubs. 

I watched/rewatched (it's fuzzy how much I saw on Adult Swim 20 years ago) the first ep a few months back and the dub didn't hold up well at all IMO. It's the same actors but like, with 20 years of experience removed (compared to my reference point of the Rebuild movies) and pretty bad direction in parts. Maybe the dub improved after the first ep though.

They apparently redubbed it.  I'm curious, but this seems unnecessary on its face, the original dub was one of the better dubs.

That explains why the Japanese audio is labeled "original" but none of the others are.

I might watch it if the dub is good. The newer shows ok Hulu and Netflix have great dubs, but some shows are just unwatchable because the dubs suck so bad.

Like Gundam Unicorn   :-X :yuck

But that new Ultraman show and the fun for season 2 of attack on titan are great.

“Anno knew a guy from King Records named Otsuki, and as the story goes, the two were out drinking one day when Otsuki suggested to Anno that they work on an anime television project together. Anno agreed on the spot, came back to the office and promptly announced it to everyone. Nobody even batted an eyelash. We just accepted it without further thought.”

That’s an odd statement considering those who love evangelion seem to have also made up their minds. Or are they on the fence about it.

Real talk, evangelion is fine. I like it. don’t understand why anyone could be defensive of evsngelion of all things in 2019. It was one of the hyped up anime series of all time between its release to at least mid 2000’s  and people will have opinions about it.

I mean what’s there to talk about? It’s an evsngleion thread in 2019. And I don’t really see anyone who loves the show contributing anything to the thread besides memes. :yeshrug

In any case I haven’t seen Evangelion since EoE. I haven’t seen any of the 2.0 shit. What’s the point of it and why are they taking so long finishing it? I remember Eva fans talking about that shit ten years ago. Today they’re still talking about it. Is it delayed due to Gainax’s financial situation?

Gainax didn't make any of the Rebuild movies, that was all Studio Khara [which ones the rights to Eva through its founder, Hideki Anno]. Gainax is pretty much dead and has been for a nearly a decade.

Brain-drain killed them. Anno left and took people with him to form Khara, Imaishi left and took people with him to form Trigger. They've barely got anybody left to make the kinds of shows that they used to.

Funimation was always good by me... The DBZ dub was rough at first but came into its own, and I'm all for preserving the original creator's vision but I also unashamedly love the Faulconer score. And Schemmel is a better Goku than some old grandma.

And ever since about the mid-2000s, around when they realized there was a market for "unaltered" dubs that just localized the dialog to English, they've been really good. And the other dubbing companies either died around this time or were absorbed, to the point I consider Funimation just the default dubbers for pretty much anything, and their distribution has been great enough (TV/Toonami, home video, streaming) that I actively hope they land certain dubs.

I hated 4kids much more, but I will say I prefer the original Pokemon cast. Probably nostalgia, and it's not like I watch the show these days anyways.

Rebuilds suck anyway no1curr about them. I'll be there day one for 3.0 + 1.0 or whatever though.

3.0 isn't a rebuild?

Leave it to Evangelion to make a reboot confusing as fuck.
3.0 is a rebuild and the next rebuild is called 3.0 + 1.0. So yeah it's confusing as fuck.

Having started learning sheet music, the Japanese title for 3.0 + 1.0 adds enough context that it makes sense to me (it includes the musical "repeat" sign.) Full title:

The problem with Funimation is we were watching Ocean dub with kickass voices and music, and then, all of a sudden, in the middle of the series, the voices changed, the direction changed, and we got shitty music in the show. There are few words to express how BAD the new DBZ dub was. It was a massive deal when Funimation put out the first tape of the new episodes - the first new DBZ episodes available in english in a FULL YEAR. I still have those tapes. And then, when you put in the tape it was with a completely new cast and direction.

In any case I haven’t seen Evangelion since EoE. I haven’t seen any of the 2.0 shit. What’s the point of it and why are they taking so long finishing it?

From the outside it seems the "Rebuild" films (not the official termilonology but fuck it it's the most concise way to name them) started as a cash grab. The franchise was as popular than ever and Gainax needed the dough pretty bad IIRC. The first film is basically the first quarter or third of the series with a condensed plot, higher production value and one new shoehorned character to throw a wrench and sell figurines (maybe introduced in the second, I don't remember exactly). But after that Anno and the creative team probably felt they had an opportunity and financing to do something fun instead of just xeroxing the series. The second film start deviating more and more as it goes along then suddenly accelerate the pace by its conclusion. 3.0 or 3.3 or Q whatever is basically a completely new plot. It's pretty clear Tsurumaki (who was a big name on FLCL and Diebuster) directed a lot of it and it's really fresh to have his visual flair and a completely bonkers plot in Eva.

As to why it's taking so long to finish : Anno has other commitments with live action films (his Godzilla reboot was quite a success) and it's pretty clear they're writing all this on the fly and have no idea where they are going exactly. The few interviews I've read (including some discussion on the new character, Mari) are pretty candid about that.

Evangelion 3.0/3.3/Q might legitimately be the best thing the franchise gave us so...

ANN has a pretty good write-up on that. Basically, there was a Sega Saturn game released at the same time that acted as a bridge between the series and the movie, and they were likely laying ground to continue the franchise after the movie [which didn't happen due to a pretty negative response at the time]:

I mean I'm pretty certain Evangelion had a lot of non-minor canon details (including a whole plot of precursor aliens behind the Angels or somesuch) gated in a videogame (Girlfriend of Steel ?).

Yeah the overarching cosmic plot is a lot of window dressing to the actual drama when you start looking at it not as an excited when but it was a pretty big deal.

It was the "Neon Genesis Evangelion 2" game to be exact, see details below :

https://wiki.evageeks.org/First_Ancestral_Race (https://wiki.evageeks.org/First_Ancestral_Race)

The article make it sound more like it was fleshed out from a concept or world building that never made it to the series proper, not the ultimate key to understanding Eva gibberish but considering some of the wild fanwank I read over the years, some fans definitely took it as such.

Evangelion 2 on PS2 is considered the first/only source for much of the entire original series backstory.

What's neat reading up on all it however is how much the fans had guessed correctly long before it released, but had given different names (as you would expect.)

The series and movies are definitely, obviously made "on the fly" but I have to be impressed at the overall consistency to the series' mythology given that.

How much of the mythology and plot were done ad hoc isn't really relevant; the fact that Anno was able to "fill in the cracks" so to speak with the PS2 game so definitively and in such a neat package speaks to a level of detail-oriented genius. Put another way, lesser writers may have felt "written into a corner." But not Anno, he tried (eventually) explaining (some) stuff anyways.

Maybe, I guess. Though it's pretty obvious they changed things probably mid-production of the series (The Adam-Lilith mix up)... And I don't if I must be impressed with fans guessing about precursor aliens, it's one of the two or three only possibilities that come to mind (with "Gaia is revolting / Force of Nature", etc..), especially with all the pseudo DNA science in the show.

But the mythos is really the less important part of the series anyway...

Gurrenn Lagann is a bit of a slow burn in my memories. It finds its stride when you realize it keeps ramping up and up and up without ever halting. It is more overt of a fantasy tale than Gunbuster / Eva, the science fiction wrapping is light, only shows up late and I could imagine that would be a problem to some.

Is this the original or the remake?

By remake do you mean the reedited episodes that were in the anniversary boxset or... ?

Well it’s not. It’s a great show.

I'm a big Eva slut but I'm not sure I would call it a great show, objectively. There's a lot there and it's an important one, to be sure. The animation and drawing style are not among the best or most distinctive, budget cutting is pretty obvious at points. The story and tone goes off the rails somewhere after the midway point. The mecha/kaiju/1960-1970 homage & super cool SF visuals of that fortress city of the first half of the series has always been a joy in rewatch : it's light, it's spot on, it has just the right amount of weird ideas, playful grandiloquence and genre perversions Gainax excels at. Once everything (both in the story and actual show production) start going into that abyss of despair, it's really hit-and-miss in execution no matter how thought-provoking, subversive and intellectually interesting it can be. It's not the best thing Gainax did, it's maybe not even their best TV show.

Now, granted, the series turning dysfunctional and mad is what makes it so distinctive and a memorable flawed jewel instead of a serviceable above average show. But it's maybe not for everyone. And that TV ending... It's a wee bit shite in hindsight. Not-writing-death-threats-to-the-creator shite (well nothing is, really, but you get the point) bit it's pretty obvious it's the botched result of a team that wrote itself in a corner while running out of steam and money. I'm not in any way spiteful about it, failure is part of creation and it's what makes Evangelion what it is but I think fans tend to have a pretty heavy rose tinted pair of glasses to be able to see it and think it's a writing master plan imbued with philosophical wisdoms for the ages.

End of Evangelion is a great film however.
I don't think the roughness of Evangelion excludes it from greatness. If anything to me that roughness is what separates the show from most anime. That roughness is what makes the show have personality and feel like more then a simple commercial product. Of which it is and for sure has become, but I watch Evangelion every so often. That last time I watched it was when the blu ray rips came out and it was amazing. But I was also surprised like I have been before that the first half is also great. Now as a teen I liked the 2nd half because oh that's where it gets weird. People often see the first half as "oh just typical mecha" and it is. It has it's monster of the week crap, but even the first half the characterization is strong. I'm not going to use the lame word of "deconstruction", but it does read like a show crated by people who grew up with mecha anime and are playing with the conventions and thinking to themselves "man it would actually suck to be the teen forced to pilot this crap by the mad scientist father" and from there you have characters like Misato and so on that feel real and have actual relatable problems. It's one of the few anime that to me has actual characters with actual adult issues. Now don't get me wrong, it's still a geeky pop culture show about robots, but there's lots of nuance and good storytelling in the show. People get lost in the symbolism and what does it all mean and that stuff is all shallow bullshit. Meant to be stage dressing for the themes the concepts allow the show to explore. The Human Completion project is whatever, but not what the themes it conveys are. It's a show about people unable to be close to each other, because getting close is really hard.  I don't know, every time I watch it I think it's anime honestly above other anime. You see shows try to do the Rei and Asuka shit, but they are not waifus in Eva. Yeah they were marketed as such after the fact, but Rei is creepy. Shinji is drawn to her for weird reasons. It's not romantic, he's kind of jealous and also weirded out by her. You are not supposed to want to fuck Asuka, she is a messed up girl. Misato is a character constantly worried if she's trash or not, this is'nt attractive.

And beyond that the show is pretty well directed. Most of the Eva seens are done with a lot of energy. The world is brought to alive with a lot of detail, good art direction, and solid world building.

It's why I hate the movies. The world makes no sense. The conflict, characters, and action they seem so.........anime. You've got shitty big boobed characters there to sell shit talking about nonsensical "the smell of your blood" crap. Like it's straight form some other lame anime. The world in the 3rd movie makes no sense. How does Nerv even operate? They spend a lot of time talking about how Nerv and world works in the tv show.  Characters like Mari don't exist. An Evangelion being destroyed is a big deal. The movies are everything I dislike about modern anime.

It's the roughness that makes it age better then Rahxephon. Rahxephon is such a manufactured show that it becomes boring to watch.  Everything feels planed out and characters like Quon and Haruka and so on feel like arch types. There because this kind of show needs it. They also don't have much beyond Ayato. The character's feel like they revolve around his problems. Evangelion is a weird show and it seems like it's constantly pulling shit out off it's ass and the characters feel more real, like they have more going on. Misato's struggles are not easily conveyed into a clean arch. I'm not sure she even get's resovle other then I guess she finds personal peace at death. That feels more real to me then the clear cut plotting for the character's in Rahxephon.

And in the end Evangelion is the iconic show. It's got iconic music, designs, imagry, pretty much everything. Every basically non Gundam like mecha show seems to borrow from Evangelion. It's a true classic.

I think it's a great show. Not a just because I watched it as a depressed teen. That's Rahxephon and that show was great for me back then. Now, not so much. Evangelion they as a depressed adult is something I can still relate to. But not even that I can appricate what feels like a lot of heart that went into it's production. Even the lame Jet Alone episode has cool scenes, animated cheaply, but creatively.

Don't know why people don't like IBO Season 2. Thought it was pretty good. Sure, some of the new characters are lame and the show forget's them, but as a whole it was awesome. Mostly because it doesn't act like a sequel, just more of the story. The problem with things like 00 S2 and R2 beyond just being bad is they feel like a reestart for new viewers. They've got to rebuild the status quo and get back to the conflict and have new kind of pointless new characters. I did'nt really think IBO suffered from that, beyond not knowing what to do with the new characters beyond sideline them anyway.

I watched the first two episodes.
Can't argue with the animation, really great.

I'm watching it dubbed though, and the dialogue, and i don't know if it's just the new translation or not, feels like it got a pass through Google Translate with a scrambled thesaurus thrown in.
Really fucking odd word choices and sentence structures, even in mundane conversations, to the point of being distracting.

Going by the internet's reactions, i assume the English dub in on the same level of "quality".

Yeah as i mentioned the odd phrase structure isn't an exclusive of the (new) English version.
I wonder if the other languages are based on it though, like a game of telephone.

Although to an extent, anime often struggles with adapting to other languages in a natural, flowing manner.

Apparently, a few years back Funimation took some liberties with 3.0's translation and Khara was pretty peeved when they found out about it, they sent in their own people to change it. And that's what happened here, they wanted the translation done a very specific way and they made sure they got it.

I think the opposite should be written tbh. Hating Eva seemed pretty cool for a long time, and then it was dying down and GL came out and fair or not people made comparisons and the backlash kinda got reignited again.

And recently of course "Literally everyone hates 3.0. If you like it, you're wrong." :doge

I've seen far more people needing to defend Eva than vice versa. Like, it's pretty easy to pick on the series. There's a lot of goofy and batshit stuff that is laughable out of context, and oh yeah who doesn't love a good "GET BACK IN THE ROBOT SHINJI!!!" meme reference.

FTR the people complaining about the new dub are insane.  It's light years better than the amateurish ADV one and the Funimation one that emulated it.  There were numerous errors and gaffes in the original which are all corrected in this one, and they absolutely nail the tone in the intense and melancholic scenes (versus "yelling all the time" which was the only tone the ADV dub was able to pull off).

Recommended to give it a whirl.

You are VERY young.

Between 1998 and maybe 2003 Eva was considered THE anime not named DBZ and Sailor Moon.. THE anime. It was ADV - *the* American anime company's - bread and butter. Emphasis on *the*.

We were told this was the greatest anime of all time. For a period of like 5-6 years.

It ended with a dude be told congratulations repeatedly because the creator had a nervous breakdown.

"Easy to pick on Eva"? You weren't there. This show stuck with people, for better or for worse. Why? Because modern anime begins and ends with Evangelion. There's pre-Eva and post-Eva. It is *the* major shift.

I'll just paste what I wrote on a friends facebook post when were chatting about Eva the other day.

Quote
Evangelion is a classic example of something I like but don’t exactly love. I recall for nearly half a decade it was regarded the best anime ever and I ended up getting an ending where people surround the main character offering congratulations. I like the character drama, the brokenness of their personalities, and the the mecha action but it remains in my eyes the most overrated anime of all time. Evangelion still musters strong emotions even years later it seems.

On a personal note, I attribute Evangelion with the sharp decline in Japanese storytelling after its release. Where writers were obsessed with throwing in random Latin words they thought were deep and cryptic mythos similar to Eva. They started to drift from classic storytelling and more into thinking that the more “deep” a story is (and by depth they meant a lot of confusing, esoteric elements that may or may not hold relevance to the main story) to be better than something well told.

All though it remains my favorite Final Fantasy, FFVIII is an example of post-Evangelion “isn’t this deep?” fuckery. Or, as much as I love it, Xenogears. Compare FFVI’s near perfect storytelling to FFVII and VIII’s more convoluted approach and ask which one is better. You can tell they are clearly inspired by Evangelion even if it’s just bits and pieces.

Ergo, Evangelion ruined Japanese storytelling.

Despite my criticism I still like Evangelion. My critique sounds harsh, and it is, but it’s hard to separate how I like Eva and how I feel about its legacy.

Easy to pick on Eva? lol.

I am done with the series and the movie. The last act is the best part. I reject the controversy that the show falls off. The show dispensed with its pretense and embraced what it was actually about rather than cater to the viewer with one last cool battle for the fate of the planet. The instrumentation episodes, and the instrumentation scenes that made it into the movie, are some of the best purely psychological experiences to have ever been written for tv. And what genius storytelling, too. Inner dialogue is everywhere, but how many stories go to the extreme lengths of exhaustively explaining character psyches with methodical pairwise encounters, forcing them into the closest proximity possible, with no way to withhold secrets or their most intimate thoughts? This pure vulnerability and relentless mutual interrogation is just as intense as any of the near death experiences that happened during the rest of the show, and that is a high bar to match. The explanation of the hedgehog's dilemma was the perfect way to ease the viewer into this climactic confrontation. Fuyutsuki said (twice ::)) that man's greatest enemy would be man itself. Well, Shinji's greatest enemy ended up being everyone he was closest to (and himself). That's deep, yo. And not fake deep, but poignant and universal in multitudinous ways.

This is a flawless show and an indelible experience. It's one of those consequential pieces of art you will feel deeply grateful for having had the opportunity to experience. Like LOST.

Well, Shinji's greatest enemy ended up being everyone he was closest to (and himself). That's deep, yo. And not fake deep, but poignant and universal in multitudinous ways.

This is a flawless show and an indelible experience. It's one of those consequential pieces of art you will feel deeply grateful for having had the opportunity to experience. Like LOST.

You had me right until the end.

Watched the first two episodes on Netflix last night, and boy is it looking good. The lack of Fly Me to the Moon is jarring, but if you've never seen the show before I can see it not being a big deal. Still got my Platinum DVD set just cause I was too lazy to sell it off.

So if you all didn't notice.  There are still 14 different versions of the rei theme that play as the end theme, in place of the 14 fly me to the moons.  So while it's a shame they dropped it, they at least did it correctly.

I mean I'm pretty certain Evangelion had a lot of non-minor canon details (including a whole plot of precursor aliens behind the Angels or somesuch) gated in a videogame (Girlfriend of Steel ?).

Yeah the overarching cosmic plot is a lot of window dressing to the actual drama when you start looking at it not as an excited when but it was a pretty big deal.

Evangelion 2 on PS2 is considered the first/only source for much of the entire original series backstory.

What's neat reading up on all it however is how much the fans had guessed correctly long before it released, but had given different names (as you would expect.)

The series and movies are definitely, obviously made "on the fly" but I have to be impressed at the overall consistency to the series' mythology given that.

How much of the mythology and plot were done ad hoc isn't really relevant; the fact that Anno was able to "fill in the cracks" so to speak with the PS2 game so definitively and in such a neat package speaks to a level of detail-oriented genius. Put another way, lesser writers may have felt "written into a corner." But not Anno, he tried (eventually) explaining (some) stuff anyways.

I bought that game for like 500 yen in Japan years back, I should play it.

Also, 3nd (pronounced like "sound") Impact on the PSP is a really cool rhythm game designed by Suda and Grasshopper.

Yep, this happened with Zeta Gundam's opening songs since Neil Sedaka has the rights. At least with that situation Bandai Entertainment told people about it ahead of time.

And cause I'm such a Gundam nerd who also loves 45s, I own the original singles.

I can't remember what show it was, but there was a mid-00s anime that licensed the original opening song for the first episode but then never used it again throughout the show.

The new dub is legit good, they actually act this time.  Give it 4 eps, like me, you will probably still prefer the Japanese, but anything you're hearing about this being bad is downright nonsense, and people are too blinded by nostalgia, and some terminology they don't like to realize they are full of shit.

I never watch dub for movies tbh, but for animated TV stuff, i don't care much.

Anyway, i'm 5 episodes in, and so far the only character i like is Misato.
Oh and Shinji's buddies are alright i guess.
Rei is probably the one i dislike the most, but maybe she's like that because Shinji's father is perving on her, so i won't judge yet.  :doge
Through osmosis, i got that everybody hates Shinji for being a bitch, but so far, his reaction seemed fairly reasonable to me, guy got basically scammed into the frontline.

Wait this is a good point... I made myself wait for the 3.33 dub but I forget why... And I carried that attitude forward to today, when deciding which English dub to (re)watch the series with... But I've realized that I'm more of a purist about artistic media than when I committed to waiting for Funimation to put out 3.33, and that honestly, the original (sub) is the closest to the author's intent. In exploring Satoshi Kon's works, I didn't hesitate to go subtitled, and I suppose I owe Anno the same courtesy.

Japanese audio with English subtitles on Netflix it is.

I’ve never heard either English dub for Evanagelion, I just default to the native language for whatever it is I’m watching, unless I’m watching it (ie. Ghibli stuff) with my daughter who isn’t a quick enough reader yet to handle subtitles.

Bebop’s dub is solid as fuck and works very well, but Koichi Yamadera (who is also Kaji), Megumi Hayashibara (and Rei) and Unsho Ishizkua ARE the defacto crew of the Bebop for me.
Title: Re: Great news, Glen! Evangelion is available on Netflix now!
Post by: Himu on June 26, 2019, 07:22:10 PM
Sometimes I watch dubbed, sometimes subbed. Mostly subbed. If I think the dub is as good if not better (DBZ Kai) then I watch in English. But mostly I watch any foreign film as intended. The idea of dubbing over Seven Samurai for instance makes me shudder.

I used to be elitist about it but these days I’m relaxed.

It’s just how I prefer to experience foreign media. Whenever America exports something to Saudi Arabia or Japan they tend to watch in English with subtitles. I have talked to numerous online friends from foreign nations, including Wrath, who have told me they learned English by watching our media because it was that prevalent. I feel it’s only respectful to see what other nations that don’t speak our language intended creatively as well.

I also watch depending on immersion level. Like, something like Metal Gear, which mostly stars American characters involving American conflicts just makes sense to me to play in English. But if I’m watching Ghost in the Shell it’s Japanese all the way. If I’m watching something in feudal Japan, it will never be English. Never. Gundam, English. The new Blade Runner Watanabe anime, also English.

So yeah, for me it mostly depends on how I want to experience it as an artistic medium. It really depends.

I don't care if people prefer dubs, that's their choice. Just let me watch the movie/show in the language it was originally made in. Videogames, however, don't bug me as much, especially since we don't always get the option.

Gundam in English is weird as fuck since it's basically gigantic metal samurai. Those names sound even more ridiculous.

Also, the Netflix English subs are a bit stilted from personal experience. Not that a more direct translation is bad, but it may come off as weird in a few key scenes.

They are definitely weird in that kind of "no native English speaker actually talks like this" way.

My first experience with Eva was the original ADV single DVD releases that took FORREEEEVVVEEEER to come out starting in 1999. Definitely not the best way to watch the show.

Eva is one of those cultural corner stone things like Citizen kane where it impacts media after its release. In Eva’s case it goes for the worse. Like I said before, it ruined Japanese storytelling in a big way. But the monster of the week formula works and it really has that going for it.

I might rewatch now that it’s on Netflix and see if my opinion on it has changed any.

It’s still very much”I like it but fuck its legacy.”

Xenogears definitely has a solid amount of Eva influence. Aside from the religious themes, you could say that Id is kind of similar to Unit 01's 400% synch state. And IIRC, Krelian is basically pursuing instrumentality.

Sakaguchi gave Takahashi the ball to do his own thing when he was disatisfied and had a shit ton of Evangelion models on his desk.

It goes beyond mecha.

FFVII is far more convoluted than FFVI for example, unnecessarily. Japanese storytelling became,"aren't we deep?" after Eva.

I'm not speaking of Eva here, Esch.

I'm speaking of its legacy. I think those that copied Eva learned the wrong lessons. Eva, for the most part uses the imagery as fat and that's fine. But the other stuff we're talking like Xenosaga? Kingdom Hearts? They certainly don't. They take that cryptic imagery shit very seriously.

Which is why I say I like Eva, but i hate its legacy.

He would subsequently spend almost every waking hour at Studio Topcraft's offices for the duration of his involvement (the film's complete production would run roughly nine months, and be fraught with borderline-disasters and complications), and would grow so close with Miyazaki that their friendship endures to the present day.

Also, something I'm a bit confused on, it seems Anno took the swerve into moving away from the mythology angle into exploring depression in the last few episodes "midway through development".

Is there any interviews out there on how late in production it was decided on? It seems wild to see how well they appropriated the reoccurring scenes in the last few episodes if they really did it in the 11th hour.

I'm sure an EvaHead has some interview ready ? But I don't think the switch was that drastic or sudden at the production level. The tone doesn't so much shift than drift. My fanwank is that narrative expediency and budget issues (perhaps in part caused by a change in priorities) accounts for quite a bit in the individual pacing of episodes getting a bit erratic towards the end.

Anno made a short for the Ghibli Museum, too. The Invention of Destruction in the Imaginary Machines. It was showing in a little film box when I went there in 2006, and a lot of artwork from it was on display there and it's detailed in the big book I bought at the museum. I think I watched it, but honestly had no idea Anno was behind it until after I left the museum.

I like the episode where Shinji and Asuka have to train with DDR.

I think it's my favourite episode, really.

Also, something I'm a bit confused on, it seems Anno took the swerve into moving away from the mythology angle into exploring depression in the last few episodes "midway through development".

Is there any interviews out there on how late in production it was decided on? It seems wild to see how well they appropriated the reoccurring scenes in the last few episodes if they really did it in the 11th hour.

I'm sure an EvaHead has some interview ready ? But I don't think the switch was that drastic or sudden at the production level. The tone doesn't so much shift than drift. My fanwank is that narrative expediency and budget issues (perhaps in part caused by a change in priorities) accounts for quite a bit in the individual pacing of episodes getting a bit erratic towards the end.

This talks about it a bit.

Oh man the Sarin gas attacks again. The Kobe earthquake and Sarin attacks are often invoked for why a lot of creators toned down the massive apocalyptic fetish of 80-90's manga and anime (most notably Akira and everything Otomo). They didn't find that so rad when facing the real life incarnation they possibly influenced. IIRC set designers for Godzilla also visited post-quake Kobe for documentation and you see keiju eigas aiming at being grittier shortly thereafter.

So Netflix removed the Italian dub from Evangelion, due to the backlash, and they say on their facebook page that they're "fixing it" (and the subtitles).
I hope this will address the almost unintelligible syntax and grammatical problems more than specific nitpicking about this or that term being changed ('cause some people bitched that they changed "Angel" into "Apostle" or some shit, but i don't care about that stuff).

I'm glad it wasn't just me going crazy though, i had to stop watching it, because it felt like Google translate level of weirdness at times.
I read that even the voice actors wanted to walk out mid recording, because the text made no sense to them.  :lol

(BTW this was directly translated by the Japanese, from the same guy translating all Ghibli movies, and who did the 90's Eva translation too, so i dunno wtf happened).

Comparing the Netflix dub and sub - the dub is so much better. Funimation dubs were completely unlistenable. The Netflix dub also totally fixes the stilted speech in the subs. I tried watching with subtitles on for a few scenes with the dubbed audio and some of the sentences are truly bizarre. Watch with dubs.

ADV dubbed the original; Funimation has only handled the Rebuild movies. The latter have most of the same cast as the original ADV dub, but much better direction. (Plus, the VAs had grown a lot since then too.)

How does the Netflix dub compare to the Rebuild dubs?

Netflix is better.

Rebuild made the mistake, at least in the first one, of largely mimicking the old adv performances, including the straight up errors they made with it.  So while it may have gotten better upon the divergence, it's much too "informed by the original dub" in both scripting and performance.

It's a bit of reactionary frustration on her part probably but I think there's some truth to the "fandom" never being happy and being overly smug and dogmatic both in interpreting a work & quick at disparaging technicians and artists despite very little expertise in how the sausage is made.
In particular with a show like Evangelion where the engagement from fans can get extreme.

went to netflix and the first thing popped up was evangelion taking up the entire screen.

gotta admit I was very nostalgic. Reminded me of my friend and I trading anime dvds in 2001. He got an evangelion dvd a week, and I got a Kenshin dvd. We'd trade. It took a few weeks to get through Evangelion because we were watching one dvd a week. I, of course, taped all of it to vhs just like I did the Cowboy Bebop dvds.

tempted to rewatch because it makes me nostalgic for the Suncoast anime days, but...

Evangelion is why I finally got my own VCR btw. :aah

In 2000 I picked up the Evangelion VHS from Suncoast. People online were talking about this crazy mecha anime and I was a fan of Gundam. Evangelion was the *it* anime before Love Hina tainted all of us with its harem degeneracy. I didn't have a VCR and my parents were in the room with the tv so I watched it in front of them, not giving a fuck and marveling at the Eva-01 freak out. :lawd

My parents saw first hand the demonic JAPANIMATION I was into. My dad already knew because I made him watch my Escaflowne tape, but this my moms first ride.

"Don't forget about fanservice~!"

My mom was scared as I was smiling gleefully at Unit-01 massacre that poor Angel.

I got a VCR that Christmas a few weeks later. lmao

Basically "please never put that demonic videos in front of me ever again, please do it in your own room!"

I understand you Shinji, I understand you. :tocry

The only anime on VHS I watched was Macross Plus, which now that I think about it shares with Eva what Esch posted earlier: humanity has reached unimaginable levels of technological progress and withstood cataclysmic events but they still have to do competitive bids with an arms industry for next generation special forces multirole combat aircraft and the decision of whether or not we should be beholden to artificial intelligence was left to the anarchy of production until it predictably got out of hand.

Never seen this show before but now I'm like 15 episodes in. I'd say like 80% of each episode is slice of life horny teenage boy scenes, some surprisingly fun action scenes that involve giant robots walking like an old man stabbing giant aliens, and maybe like 1% has to do with the origins of the story and where all the religious symbolism comes from.

I'm gonna finish the series once and then rewatch it stoned in the original Japanese. It's clear the writers intended it that way.

Up to episode 20 so far.
I'm glad they stopped recycling the "pervert don't look at my underwear" joke, after the 20th time.  :doge

Aside from that though, it started to get pretty cool, in these last few episodes, with the 01 going on all 4s acting like a monkey, and eating that other angel.  :leon

Yeah some of the monologuing in the dream sequences is overwritten, like many anime can be, but it's bearable so far.
It's got a cool atmosphere, tbh.

I wish there was a bit more world building when it came to anything outside of the GeoFront though (or even the GeoFront itself) a thousand shots of screens and escalators are cool, but i'm not quite sure where and how the population goes about in this world, since anything outside of the homebase and school, is barely implied at best.

Also what the fuck, the white haired guy is in ONE fucking episode? i saw him spammed everywhere throughout the years, and he has like 15 lines.

Well, i'll watch EoE, but so far i liked it quite a bit.
I don't think it's as good as Monster (let alone Ping Pong, which for me is the golden standard) but it goes into some really interesting places with the characters (especially the adults).
I wish it didn't feel the need to repeat the same thing 50 times though, it gets annoying when the characters scream in your ear their inner thoughts 5 times per episode.

Misato started as the best character, and kept the crown, but i also like Ritsuko and her relationship with Ikari.

Watched EoE.
Animation was really great, and that fight with E02 was baller as fuck, of course.
I went in with the impression that it'd be a sequel to the show, but it's basically a repeat of the last two episodes, just not in storyboard version.

I mean i'll just echo the sentiment i had for the last two episodes, it would've been (more) beautiful, if it didn't feel the need to spell out so much through words, in my opinion.
Cinema is a visual medium, animation in particular, and what is there is very well made, so i don't think it needed so much script to go with it, it just detracts bit by bit from the power of it all.
I'll compare it to Twin Peaks The Return episode 8, even though they're very different, just to point at an example of what i'm talking about (or the ending of 2001 if you prefer).

But this is anime, and as i said in the past page, being over written is sort of part of its essence.
-
So ok that aside, one thing that i didn't like, was the character development of Shinji, to me felt like it made a jump into a Flanderization in between ep. 24 (or even 26) and EoE.
The Shinji of EoE is definitely the one i got to know through osmosis all these years, whereas the one in the actual show, just felt more like a mellow but normal kid. I felt like a step was missing between the two, despite him going more and more mad was supposed to be the point of it all.

But the scream/sound effect the Evas make is fucking  :o
And those white Evas were cool as shit.

At the end of the day, that's all that matters.  :japancry

Shit happened in ep24 that made Shinji the way he was in EoE, I would think...

As for talking vs. showing, I generally agree, but there really isn't much dialog in the last third, and the sandbox scene is baffling yet intriguing.

Yeah however seeing as how 25 and 26 tell the same story (more or less) the transition from 24 to 25/26, compared to the transition from 24 to EoE (character-wise) for Shinji, felt more natural to me.
The opening wack off scene made thematical sense, but still felt a bit forced and out of character for example.

To be honest i'd have to rewatch it to make up my mind, because it's more of a feeling i had while watching than any precise moment i can point out, it felt like they shifted the tone to something darker, despite the final episodes being pretty devoid of humor already, and in doing so, exacerbated one aspect of Shinji's character to arrive at the narrative's thematical conclusion.
-
Anyway, the sandbox scene reminded me of the Akira finale (also involving a big ass explosion and an almost "reset" of the universe, lol).
Also, usually i don't care for meta narratives, but the live action shots fit well in here, i thought.

EDIT: Now that i think about it, another problem i have with Shinji's development is that the key shift has to do with Kowaru, but his relationship with him is so brief and rushed, that feels less earned than something like Koji's (more or less equal) scene prior to that.
Of course Kowaru being a supernatural entity has a different function from a plot standpoint, but from Shinji's pov it was yet another character to give him love and validation.

I think a more relaxed pace, spread over double the episodes maybe, could've worked in its favor.

Live action shots worked because it was still fictional characters in a "fictional" setting. Some of the text was from IRL death threats, but the live action scenes have their own story:

So it wasn't necessarily breaking any kind of fourth wall, instead showing how different and alien alternate realities could be.

Well, anything is inherently fictional, by the show's own words, once it gets interpreted by one own's mind, and becomes part of their internal "reality"  :-*; but i'll say the dude giving the thumbs up to the camera, in one of those theater shots counts, as breaking the 4th wall.  :doge

It's not just about Kaworu. I think some reflection on what Shinji goes through between episodes 19 (da best episode) and 25 is called for. When Shinji talks to Kaji in Episode 19, that's the last time until the movie that Shinji mans up and decides for himself that he has a responsibility to pilot Evas - even though only bad things ever happen to him while he does. It's all downhill from there, significantly worse than the stress he went through for the first 75% of the show. He's stuck in quantum limbo for a month. Asuka becomes comatose. Rei dies in front of him. Everyone in the GeoFront is evacuated - the only normal part of his life (school, having non-NERV friends) disappears. Kaji dies. Misato becomes completely emotionally distant because of that. Shinji finds out that the new Rei is a clone. He has everything in his life taken away from him all over again just after he decided that he would put up with being a pilot for the sake of humanity.

That's the context of episode 24. He has nothing, and then suddenly he has a friend. And then he has to kill his friend. It's like killing the only possibility of him having a life outside of Nerv with any semblance of emotional closeness to someone else. So given that, I didn't feel a disconnect between ep 24 and the movie's despondent, defeated Shinji. That would break any kid.

A friend of mine just watched Eva for first time on Netflix including EoE. I told them they should watch the sequel series Eva Rebuild next, but it doesn't look like it's available legally anywhere online? They don't play videogames so don't have a BD player, so dunno best way for them to watch them.

Friendly Reminder: The span of time between the first episode of Evangelion and Evangelion 1.0 was ~12 years. This is almost the same amount of time that's passed between Evangelion 1.0's release and now.

Yeah it's why i'm saying i need a rewatch, 'cause in the second half there's so much shit you're trying to pay attention to, that i feel like i want to watch it again to digest it better.
That said, it was more of a criticism of the pace with which the information and (character) development is doled out, than the events themselves.
That's what i meant, when i said that it felt like they skipped a step.

However the last act of the show it's also supposed to feel very overwhelming and confusing.

What the fuck is wrong with you people? This show had no fucking ending. No one warned me the last two episodes are complete gibberish. I get that they needed long monologues to save animation budget but they don't explain a fucking thing. In fact it's just an excuse to repeat the same lines over and over like a mixture of pop psychology with anorcho-agitprop written by someone who heard the word nihilist one time. Fuck this show, I'm having to google what, how and why everything happened.

Interested in the rest of the series, but I though the sexy time anime shot was sort of over the top even in the first 2 episodes. Like the adult chick that Shinji is staying with leaning over the table at him and shit.

Well it’s not really Evangelion 2. It’s a reimagining and originally anyway was supposed to be a new version of Eva for new fans.

It for sure seems to have morphed into something else and regardless of fan theories it will still be it’s own thing. It also has a radically different tone and feel then the tv show.

Post by: Rahxephon91 on July 14, 2019, 07:25:52 PM
I feel it's a definitive ending because I feel like it says all they wanted at that point while also offering a conclusion to the surface plot.

I know people like to rag on the show because anime fans in thier teens probably use to proclaim the show was deep and "smart". No the show may not be the most incredibly written show ever and it's psychological stuff can maybe be amtuer at best. But I feel that is such a narrow minded version of criticism, this "does the writing hit this level or not". The show is very rough around the edges and in that it honestly feels like a very honest expression of brokenness and issues that people who have a hard time self-identifying or relating to the others feel. And in a way I do feel the show is pretty well done with some pretty well developed characters and storylines they find themselves in.

Saying all that, what I'm trying to get it as to me Evangelion is about people trying to connect and live and so while the tv show offer's an ending thats fine, I also think the movie does the same. I dont actually think it's that vauge and really concludes what I think the show is about. Shinji make's peace with himself and realizes that that world that SELLE wanted, where you can't be hurt because everyone is one being is wrong. Running away from others is wrong and while life is painful, life can be great. It can be great anywhere, you just have to self-realize and be at peace with it and yourself. And this all happens plot wise. He's tempted with the choice, realizes it's wrong, and then rejects Third Impact. Comes back to a shitty world, but maybe it can work. We don't know for sure, but that seems to be the point.

So for me EoE concludes all the themes the show was trying to say. And it concludes the plot stuff too. People give Evangelion shit or look too deeply into the Biblical stuff. It's pretty clear now to a fan of Japanese stuff that the bible stuff is just a style for the robot show. Like how sentai shows have different styles and themes for thier seasons.Or how jrpgs borrow from Norse or whatever else mythology. They just went all in with the Christian Imagery.  Lot of that stuff is just a vehicle for whatever the writers wanted to explore. Which is what Third Impact was. It's not really important to me how you get to Third Impact, but more so what it's about. Which is basically yeah the human condition. Self vs others and whatnot. Would it be better if we all did'nt exist and where one being so we wouldn't hurt each other. You see Shinji's life and maybe it would be. So in EoE you really get to see all of what Evangelion was leading to. And it's a great ending to this really rough and rumble show.

You can argue if the tv show meets the same conclusion or not. If completion happens or doesn't. I don't know. I think last time I watched it, I thought it basically was the same ending. It's just clear that they did'nt have the the time or money to show the character and plot stuff. So they just went with the character stuff. I like EoE, because I feel you get both.

One thing I will give the show credit for is that the terminology and explanation for the nuclear reactor in that episode where the robo-Eva goes on it’s walking spree was pretty accurate.

Much more accurate than most shows.

Ok I finished it.

Episode 25 and 26 were low budget as shit....

I think the overall theme or message they basically really hit you over the head with it in the last 5 minutes, and in that sense it isn’t confusing.

I’m not sure I would have really understood what was going on with the human instrumentality project without wikis. The explanation was super minor in episode 23 or whatever. Like I don’t think I would have remembered or picked up on what they really meant.

I’m pretty sure that all of the stuff at the end is intended to show that shinji rejects instrumentality but then they kind of make it unclear in that final shot where they are all clapping for shinji.

Imo the school scene would have been a better ending. It would be more open to interpretation about whether he undid the instrumentality project, or whether the human instrumentality project allowed everyone to create a world where they could be happy.

But then that scene is only like half animated, and the rest looks like some wack marker drawings. 😂

I didn’t mean like it needed more technical details about how it works.

I just don’t think it was super  clear from the episodes what the basic idea was and not entirely clear that it was starting.

Episode 24 ends with Misato telling shinji he did the right thing, and the next two episodes are basically just human instrumentality project stuff. I can understand why people didn’t like it and thought it was confusing.

Granted, 20 years later with wikis and shit, it’s relatively easy to fill in the blanks. But watching it once every week I would have been confused as shit

Just got through ep 15 on my new dub rewatch.  Still really enjoying the new performances.  It's hard to express how much of an improvement it is.  I never made it past ep 8 or so on the original dub back when VHS was a thing, and was so turned off by it, I never revisited it on DVD in full, but it's completely retained the subtlety of the original Japanese performance this go around.

so i just watched the first two reboot movies for the first time and uhhhh what the fuck is the point of evangelion without the constant crushing depression?


it's impossible for me to judge it on it's own merits since it reuses/repurposes so many scenes from the show, and so it's really hard to watch the movies and come away with much besides "oh look, a new scene with the old characters." the potentially emotional moments felt unearned and uninteresting, and all the completely new stuff like the new character weren't explained and didn't add much.

sorry if this has been talked about to death, but yeah. the movies weren't boring or anything but they sure did feel a lot less interesting than the original show + movie.

anyways, i'll check out part 3 tomorrow and see if that still feels like more fanwank.

Part 3 is creator wank but it's glorious, glorious spunk visually at times, some shots are up there with EoE. It scratches that AKIRA itch.

I did scrub from my mind that the second film was really bad about the pervy shots with Asuka (up to having a meta joke about the test suit). I mostly give Eva a pass on that shit because it is not meaningless, internalizes the criticism and depicts it somewhat "realistically" as awkward, gross and with the kids being appropriately innocent about it (That whole Asuka and Kaji thing). It goes into very uncomfortable territory by the end but it is acknowledged for the fucked up thing it is. Arguably none of the weapon-grade ether in the subtext deterred creepy anime fans of buying their action figures & having waifu wars and the show is trying to eat its cake and have it too but I never felt the pandering got too overt. You had Misato being a playful tease (in universe and over the fourth wall in the "coming next" outro) only for the depiction of any intimacy getting more and more depressing.

The films and especially that second one... Not so much. I like Mari quite a bit despite how paper thin she is, but it's pretty obvious she was inserted to have new figurines to sell first, as a narrative element second (as I mentioned earlier). And there's straight up fan service and low angle shots up her skirt.

alright i watched Eva 3 aaaaaannnd... what the fucking fuck was that? what was the point of all that?

maybe i'm too attached to the original series, maybe it's because i don't like most anime in general, but this whole Rebuild series feels soulless. original Eva had a central theme - the whole thing was about exploring depression against a backdrop of big-ass robots and a cryptic plot. Rebuild throws away the depression leaves us with big battles and a super contrived plot. there's no overarching theme, no bigger message, just "wow look at these visuals! check out this plot twist!" and it's fucking boring because of that. well, the movies aren't really bad or anything, just shallow. i'm disappointed, but ultimately it doesn't matter because i can go back to ignoring these movies and still watch the originals whenever.
Title: Re: Great news, Glen! Evangelion is available on Netflix now!
Post by: pancakesandsex on July 22, 2019, 11:14:56 PM
My take on the rebuilds so far, is that it's a cycle, Shinji is trying to be a little more self actualized and do things for himself not for others, but still winds up fucking it all up.  While he's being kept in the dark, and everyone is dunking on him, Kaworu shows up again, befriends him, gets Shinji to open up, and once again the tragic part of the cycle repeats, but this time with a more confident Shinji thinking he can proactively change his situation.  Except in actuality, he's been manipulated the entire time into thinking he's acting on his own, and everything goes horribly wrong _again_, the impact of which we don't know until the next movie comes out.

Where the originals are about being in the midst of depression, this rebuild might be about trying to break out of it and get better, and not always succeeding.  I have to rewatch though, it's been a while and I'm going from memory.
Title: Re: Great news, Glen! Evangelion is available on Netflix now!
Post by: VomKriege on July 23, 2019, 01:26:39 AM
So far the main purpose of the films (without going into the ultra fan wankery of time loops and such) seems indeed to say that it's not a matter of Shinji being more proactive to fix things. It's fuzzy and not entirely convincing but I'm all in for the ridiculously over the top sound and visuals (That asteroid Angel fight in part 2, with all the Tokyo-3 crazy defense infrastructure being put to use, every action piece and 3 and the apocalyptic weird imagery in 3). Part 3 earned a lot of good will for me with its completely nonsensical story twist that I hope can being some interesting freshness to the Shinji / Asuka dynamic. Rei also might be headed to a new direction that could be interesting. But I agree it's a lot of leads and not not much substance this far and it is more likely than not that part 4 is not going to magically realize all the potential.

The films started as completely soulless, I suspect, and Khara has just decided to have fun with the opportunity and money offered to indulge in a big self referential wank (the whole Nadia thing) and visual excesses... but then again, it's pretty on brand for Gainax peeps. The third film is overall shaky but it has some of the best framing and sequences of the whole franchise. Great use of the aspect ratio and an amazing job done with all the Eva cockpit interface as a visual element (and the use of depth of field etc). The technology fetish is similarly true to the original and one of the reasons I like it.

Unrelated aside : I probably mentioned it eslewhere but the first Angel we see Asuka fighting in part 2 (the clock one) had a radical redesign from its relative in the original series because the whole design documents for the original monster were apparently lost.

Films cannot go as deep into character stuff as a series can, so the Rebuilds were always going to have to take a different tack to really suit the format. Anno knows this and he has an amazing cinematic eye.

I don't think Anno was done saying what he had to say about Eva with EoE -- he freely collaborated on that PS2 game of all things, etc. And I'm sure he was still observing things like fan-culture in the 2000s, etc. So I reject the notion that financial incentive played an outsized or majority role in the Rebuild series development.

I just finished End of Evangelion, and honestly, I like the original ending better.

I feel like EoE was actually created as sort of a fuck you to the fans, I.e. “you said you wanted more explicit closure, and I’m going to give it to you, but it’s going to be even less satisfying”. Some of the parts were obviously explicitly criticizing fan culture, but some of it profoundly changes the interpretation of the characters.

In the regular series, by the end you understand that all of these people are fundamentally broken, and there is a sort of symmetry to all their problems. The ending explores whether or not this is intrinsic to them, or whether a different world could have turned them into healthier people. And that gives Shinji a realization that nobody will help him until he helps himself.

In EoE shinji is really unsympathetic, imo. He’s just a huge little bitch.

Asuka’s redemption arc is kind of interesting, but removes all the depth from the character. She’s more interesting in the series as this scared little girl who wants attention but doesn’t really understand what she’s doing because she’s broken by having a broken childhood.

Misato loses some sympathy by her manipulation of shinji with the sex thing in EoE. In the series, I think her pass at him can be interpreted as her also being broken inside, and not really understanding what shinji needs. She can only think of trying to solve his problems in one way, even if it’s inappropriate and won’t really his problems.

I also think the more mechanical elements of the plot were both better and worse. If both Seele and Director
Ikari are trying to cause human instrumentality, it’s not clear why Seele had to invade Nerv. And all of the parts with rei turning into a giant and stigmata in unit 01 and the mass production Eva’s, just seem like nonsense. But it’s a lot more clear that everyone turned into juice and to some extent the motivation for why.

Also the dub seems very literal. Imo the best ending would be parts of EOE with a better produced ending from the last 2 episodes of the series.

Post by: kingv on July 23, 2019, 02:07:10 PM
I also didn’t really understand why shinji is choking Asuka, and then why he does it again when he wakes up.

I think in the series it’s more like Asuka and shinji have a complicated relationship, and her hate isn’t really hate and is more like neither character possesses the ability to express or process their emotions healthily. I think you kind of see that here too, but it just makes shinji into a super pathetic asshole.

On choking :phil

spoiler (click to show/hide)
The final choking is very much a twisted way to make sure they're alive. Maybe in story there's a shame element with the whole jacking it off to her comatose. Can't express loving intimacy so I'll go for painnsort of thing. I think it's an optimistic one because she chose to come back and she berates him but not in that angry irrational attitude and he also ultimately accept to face moral judgement from Asuka. I don't have very deep things to say about that but I think it's more concrete and physical. The TV series always left me a bit cold because there's really no way to tell that's it's not just Shinji just putting a show for himself in a LCL fever dream. It's basically all inner talk, no acts.

The military invasion serves the same purpose, it's much more material. It's the irruption of reality, real war and real soldiers in the fairly sanitized conflict NERV has been running. It serves as a contrast and further commentary on just how ludicrous and implausible the premise of entrusting humanity to basically a high tech summer camp with surprisingly poor foresight. Same with the terrifying sequences of people getting turned into LCL.

I also prefer the meaner, apocalyptic streak overall but I know it's not to everyone's taste. And yeah Shinji get dragged pretty hard... Then again, him being apathetic and shell shocked by episode 24 is more plausible to me than suddenly overcoming a full Freud menu of traumas with an introductory group session of therapy.

The FU to fans thing is an urban legend.  The dub is not at all "literal", unless you're referring to the 1:1 use of show specific terminology, like "third children" which IS kept in tact for the first time.  The actual phrasing and dialogue outside of show specific terminology is well localized.  Accurate, but still localized.

To be fair Ikari's mother is pretty high on her own farts as well. I purged the details but basically isn't the whole idea to turn Eva into space gods / vessels / testament to Humanity / Noah's ark.

In real life you know NERV would be bursting with SEELE bureaucrats in every office right from the get go and Ikari couldn't buy a new pair of glasses without approval from 6 departements. They seemed shockingly OK with entrusting the whole project to half a dozen shady people with massive psychological issues relying on two or three pawns of questionable loyalty to puppet master the most important thing in the history of our species.

I didn't think it was to make sure they were still alive, I thought that Shinji was still overwhelmed by his vulnerability and his violent rage toward her because of her rejection of him during instrumentation.

That was what didn’t make sense to me.

So they can truly read each other’s inner heart, and it’s at that point that Asuka fully rejects shinji?

It just felt false to me, like it didn’t add up. It seemed clear to me in the series that Shinji has strong feelings for Asuka, and that she in turn has some feelings for him, but that both of them are so fucked up that it expresses itself in weird ways. It’s that theme of duality of love and hate, and a look at teenage (and adult really) love and sexuality and the complications that arise from people being more scared of being hurt or rejected than they are of wanting to express their true selves.

I also though her arguments Asuka makes to  shinji in instrumentality didn’t hold up well. She keeps saying “you always come to me because it’s easy” but Shinji never really came to anyone. The only time he tries to get Asuka to help him is when she is in a coma. The rest of the time he’s just crying to himself and avoiding any situation where he would have to give the help that he himself wants.

On the one hand, because of instrumentality she can see that he fired off a nut to her boob. But on the other hand she should be able to also see how upset he was when he couldn’t help her in the later episode. But also, I guess, she sees what a coward he was in EoE.

I did like the circular nature of Gendo and shinji though. They are basically the same thing and shinjis problems come from Gendo trying to help shinji by not exposing him to his problems or st least that’s how he rationalizes it.

The FU to fans thing is an urban legend.  The dub is not at all "literal", unless you're referring to the 1:1 use of show specific terminology, like "third children" which IS kept in tact for the first time.  The actual phrasing and dialogue outside of show specific terminology is well localized.  Accurate, but still localized.

I guess I just mean the dub is not as good as the new one then. There are a number of parts where it goes into anime robotic phrasing that’s sounds unnatural. Especially when they start talking about instrumentality stuff near the end, but also the way Asuka talks about her mom being in the Eva. It just falls a little flat because the phrasing is weird.

She keeps saying “you always come to me because it’s easy” but Shinji never really came to anyone.

Well, she's projecting quite a bit. She's the one that arrives into Japan expecting Shinji to be her sidekick and arguably she's the one coming on to him (awkwardly). There's some truth to it in the sense that Shinji might purposefully crash into her constant passive-aggressiveness to justify his self pity. In a sense she's as much as a morality pet to him as Rei. It's a toxic, abusive circle for both of them. That they both decided to come back nonetheless... Make of that what you will. I think the series finale is too Shinji centered and that the film does a better job at showing that in the Instrumentality everyone has to simultaneously try to cope. Asuka is her own pile of issues and she wasn't suddenly going to drop her pretences, no less than Shinji.

In short, Asuka is the real heroin and protagonist. :derp

I do like the theme of “maybe you don’t actually want to be able to see exactly what everybody thinks”.

One of the things the series does really well is being concrete in some sense, but having things open enough to interpret it in different ways.

I like basically all the characters better without EoE. They felt more nuanced to me, like flawed people trying to cope. In EoE they felt like they were just bad people.

I also didn’t get the sense that only Asuka and shinji came back. But I guess it never really says either way.

there's a line near the end about how anyone can come back if something something I forgot, but i see no reason to believe that only shinji and Asuka would come back while everyone else stayed together forever.

Just to make sure we're on the same page here, which dub did you watch?  Netflix or Manga Ent?  Netflix would be the "new" dub.  I'm not up to EoE again yet (watched 21 today), but I did watch several key sequences including the "I don't want to die" sequence in EoE.  I think the delivery is spot on in the netflix dub compared to the Japanese personally.

Yeah, I didn’t think that was that obvious at all.

I think it fits, but maybe not the only explanation.

For sure I think that End of Evangelion is better executed, but I just think that the idea behind the original ending was better.

I’m pretty sure Eva-00 is actually Rei #1’s soul. There’s an exchange in one of the first episodes where people think unit 00 is trying to kill rei but Ritsuko is like “I know it’s trying to kill me” and then when they show the Eva view of the situation Ritsuko has black hair like her mom indicating that she might think Ritsuko is her mom.

I believe it's Ritsuko's mom as well, and it works because Ritsuko is also having an fling with Gendo, which gives Eva-00 Mom the impetus to hate her daughter.  She already hated Rei.

Ritsuko's mom is not "in" the magi, except in that she designed them in her image.  They were completed before she killed herself.  They are bio-computers though, which is why they got brains.

Its Ritsuko seeing her Mom be intimate with Gendo, not  Yui.  It's in ep 21.  This also kinda relates to what I was saying above, since in a way Ritsuko repeats some of the mistakes of her mother.

To be fair, the dub is the newest thing about this show in 20 years, and it's arguably done well this time, so it's actually watchable for the first time in English.

I still prefer the Japanese, I always will.  But if you've seen the show many many times over, the new netflix dub is now a suitable way to watch the show, where as previously it was not.

- it wanting to kill Roku two
- Shinji sees rei in Unit-00 when he syncs with it
- rei says something about “the other me, the one in the Eva” at some point.

She's all three of the supercomputers making up MAGI, each representing a different facet of her personality.

I thought it was a different technology entirely and that her soul wasn't imprinted, she just programmed MAGI as a approximate mirror of her personality but the EvaGeeks wiki says they used the same means to duplicate personalities despite MAGI having AFAIK no organic parts.

Angel attacks and decisive battle are the true bangers from Evangelion.

Was interesting to me to see retroactively how much Bayonetta borrowed from this.

A lot of the imagery of how the religious stuff is represented, the design of the angels to some degree, and the music to some extent.

(And Bayonetta basically is shaped like an Eva unit).

Bayonetta is basically Evangelion + strippers.

I guess I missed it during all the corona madness, but Evangelion’s official English title is now Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time. Presumably a reference to this being the third time Evangelion has ended.

I looked it up and on US Amazon they're going for $90 :doge

It gave me the urge to look into Tamagotchi and the new ones are like $60, advertised for little girls, and you need at least 2 to unlock all the capabilities :doge

After a moment of reflection, I realized that I had spent several minutes debating buying this and quit the tab in shame. :doge :doge :doge :doge :doge

This makes me wonder though, were they ever on-track for June? They delayed it in late April, about two months before release.

Did they stop at 95% done when they delayed it, and just took the summer off? :thinking Did they go back and re-do some scenes "better," in the same sense that 1.0 -> 1.01 was made? Were they never on track to make June, and COVID was a good excuse?

I doubt we'll ever really know...

I had a crazy theory about the Rebuild movies, reading this: https://forum.evageeks.org/thread/14454/Theory-about-Kaworus-intentions/

SPOILERS

So one theory is that the Rebuild continuity is a sequel to Neon Genesis Evangelion, possibly taking place after The End of Evangelion on the same Earth... somehow. Red oceans, blood streaks on the moon, etc.

There are various points which seem to contradict it being a literal sequel on the same Earth, but it's possible those have an explanation too... Things like, uh, the entire Earth being "reset," everyone's memories and all, with a different version of Second Impact being depicted with four Adams instead of one like in the original show.

Eva 3.33 ends with Kaworu getting tricked by Gendo and starting Fourth Impact. Kaworu says "we'll meet again, Shinji" before HEAD ASPLODY. He also calls Gendo "King of the Lillin (humans)."

Gendo for his part betrays and murders the entirety of SEELE in this movie, depicted as basically servers/monoliths. But they don't care! "Our goals are accomplished. We wish for the peaceful purification of all souls."

I theorize that Eva now exists in a continuity-loop somewhat like how there were six versions of The Matrix and The One (which we didn't know about before Reloaded), and the Rebuild is the one where things actually change and the loop is broken.

I also theorize that these continuity loops are orchestrated by Gendo and SEELE, each one trying to one-up the other each time. SEELE knows that even if they "fail" in this continuity, if they've accomplished things that carry over to the next continuity reboot, they'll win overall.

As a potential contradiction, Fuyutsuki implies things are still being orchestrated by Yui in 3.33. Not sure how that could play into things.

Anyways this is almost definitely wrong, but I think it would be REALLY cool if Anno went "Oh you thought you figured everything out with your sequel theory? Actually there's been HUNDREDS of sequel Eva continuities you've never seen! What makes this one so different? Watch and find out."

Quote
Regarding the guidelines for Evangelion fan creations that were announced the other day, we feel the need to add some clarification because a part of it was taken out of context, distorting the intent.

Firstly, the guidelines were not created to “censor” or “prohibit” the contents encompassed by fan activities. We believe that fan activities sprout from positive feelings and a desire to support the work, and we have been supported by fans for a long time. In the past, we have never once asked an existing fan activity to censor or desist. Our stance and way of thinking will not change.

We released the guidelines because we thought that it was necessary to create basic principles so that all fans can enjoy their activities with peace of mind. We left vague wording in some parts to give fans as much leeway as possible to freely pursue their activities. It might be a little difficult, but we ask that each person reads the original document for themselves, and after thinking about the contents carefully, to take responsibility for themselves and continue their activities.

We have received numerous queries, but as a rule, we cannot provide personalized responses regarding the practical application of the guidelines.

It is our utmost wish that fans in the community do not restrict each other’s works.

Khara respecting art after all :rejoice

I'd love to hear Anno's thoughts on that.

Also, just realized that it's been nearly twenty years since I last watched End of Evangelion. It's up on Netflix, right? Guessing my old Manga DVD isn't looking so hot.

I made a resolution not to until I've (somehow) watched the film.

This is the only time in my life I'll be an Eva fan experiencing a piece of Anno-directed Eva media when it comes out. The only time I won't be spoiled before I see the thing. Well, knock on wood...

Pretty good. Not necessarily loving the chorus "oh oh oh" aspect. Or maybe that it's so forefront and meant to be the hook rather than just accenting things. I really like how things go to 10 at around 3:28. Each time you do get to the chorus there is more being added in the instrumental which is something I really like.

There was talk of a second "secret" theme by Utada, similar to how KH3 ended up with both Face My Fears and Don't Think Twice. Not sure if that panned out?

Sakura Nagashi is amaze. However, I like both this and Beautiful World more than it, so we're definitely on opposite ends. :P

Yeah I k ow that and that looks good.

What I meant was that going by the spoilers, 4.0 seems to have a very personal message. So hopefully with getting that out there Anno never feels the need to return to Eva.

Though obviously at some point there will be another Evangelion. But maybe there won’t since Anno is pretty much in control of it.

Maybe they could adapt the sequel LightNovels that are much different tone wise? They could promote it like the evangelion equivalent of Gundam G or Build Fighters to Gundam (a way different and less serious take) while leaving Anno stuff intact.

A manga adaptation sounds creatively bankrupt. An adaptation of any previous material sounds lame.

10 years from now I wouldn’t mind a new Evangelion from a new young creative team creating a unique spin that carries on the spirt and themes.  Having maybe a loose connection. Like Diebuster to Gunbuster.

That's kinda what Gurren Lagann was, just more removed from Eva than that. Came 10 years after End of Eva, had Gainax staff working on it but a younger creative team.

The themes between the two series are completely contrary though... I suppose for something to be a "good" piece of Eva media, it would have to deal with themes of isolation, depression, loneliness, and social anxiety. Otherwise it would just be Eva in name only, which would not be a good outcome.

Yeah, 10 years, new continuity, new creative team... wouldn't mind that outcome, but it would have to end up better than Eureka 7 AO and the FLCL sequels...

Not using spoiler tags because

I liked the ride of the last two films a lot and I stopped caring about the story with Q/3.33. After that long mess of a production I was content taking the mech porn and having the characters get an happy send off, no matter how fan servicey and incoherent that was. In retrospect I wish they didn't wait two films to get bonkers with it, I think starting with Q those Rebuilds got a massive visual upgrade (+ the use of music). I didn't like every action scene in Thrice but it was pretty cool to have a movie adaptation of shmup games ! And it's very low hanging fruit but it's hard not to find Rei Q human education be cute.

That said... A monument to excess, self indulgence and futility. It's vapid, shallow and mostly a superfluous rehash of NGE / EoE. One that beyond some epic scenes, iconography and overwhelming feverish apocalyptic visions falls often short even as a derivative. I was invested because of my now decades long attachment to the whole oeuvre but the story killed any stakes of its own by burying itself in esoteric nonsense. Thought the Gendo confrontation was particularly hollow (despite the cool visual conceit or revisiting all the stages of NGE), Shinji basically Judo-mindfucks him in 10mn after the man spent several decades crafting an insane master plan (that robs everyone of their agency, another issue) entrenched in the conviction of his own self righteousness.

And while the thing is basically a farewell tour, I'm not sure anyone but Shinji (and... huh, Mari I guess ?) really got a very satisfying epilogue. Especially Asuka, but that's probably the bias in me talking. Characteristally, the film devoted time to her yet missed the mark or didn't give her a lot to say or do (same for Misato and many others).

So... I like it, but it sucks ?
