Even with all the media released we've seen like less than 1% of the fun.

More time and effort was spent on this than the last two episodes of the TV series.

Being fair, they probably had even less budget at that point.

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...

WATCHING THE LIVE PREMIERE IT'S FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!

For some reason, I thought the new movie would be a VOD and we would have fansubs at least. This is the curse of Eva I suppose.

EchoRin · « **Reply #683 on:** March 08, 2021, 11:38:01 AM »

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.

I mean I can't deny that I adore Sakura Nagashi (the theme from Eva 3.0) leaps and bounds over this new track

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.

For me the oh-oh-oh's are what keep this song popping up in my brain, starting with the 30 second fragment last December and lasting ever since.

I can’t stand these movies and the spoilers make it sound even more shit than 3.0.

Hopefully this is it for Eva. It certainly seems like Anno got whatever he needed out.

Shin Ultraman is his next project.

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #689 on:** March 08, 2021, 03:22:59 PM »

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.

Tasty · « **Reply #691 on:** March 08, 2021, 07:35:46 PM »

They could adapt anything. Even Sadamoto's manga storyline is pretty different.

My money is on a live action Shin Evangelion in 10 years though.

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #692 on:** March 08, 2021, 08:00:41 PM »

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...

Disney's Evangelion Live Action starring Tom Holland as Shinji and Kelly Marie Tran as Asuka

There's a newly recorded version of Beautiful World that's also included on the One Last Kiss EP, I've got it on Amazon Music Unlimited so I'm guessing it's everywhere else.
