I should have known Joe would take up the Eva charge while I was gone. Feel free to merge threads.

Really excited for this. Would have never thought I'd see this legally the same year it was released in Japan.

First (and last) piece of new Eva media released while I'm actually a fan... (Been a while since 3.0/2012.) I think I'm ready.😤

If you like 90s anime and/or mecha stuff it's pretty great. Goes from standard tropes (done well) to a more introspective/head-fucky place towards the end, but it's overall a fun anime. Hard not to feel something for the characters too, which is rare in any medium (from my perspective.)

It's like, some people enjoy and seek out eurojank games. It's not anything objective, but how you react to it.

I rewatched 2.22 last night. It's my first time rewatching the Rebuild movies since 3.33 came out on Blu-Ray (2014) because it felt bad to watch them knowing that Part 4 was years away at best, and at worse Hideaki Anno had just gotten bored of the whole thing and abandoned the project all together. But now that the final part is coming out, I feel like I can finally really sit down and enjoy them for the first time.

I went through them all last year in prep for 3.0+1.0, loved seeing the progression from "what you know" to "what you know, with some twists" to "you don't fucking know anything."

I ponder and meditate over 3.33 (and End of Eva) a lot.

Was always worried how the 3D integrated visuals would age but they really haven't. Love Rebuild.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #15 on:** August 09, 2021, 01:41:37 PM »

Yeah, the movies still look great. I loved the scene of early morning in Tokyo-III, with all the mirrors turning to face the sun and rail lines switching tracks. Gonna watch 3.33 tonight.

Yeah I mean, 1.0 was fucking 2007. They cleaned stuff up for 1.01 and 1.11 but it's still incredible almost 15 years later (JESUS CHRIST). Were there even contemporary anime in 2007 integrating 3D to compare to? Most of the stuff I've seen even years later is Reboot-level lmao.

2.22 and 3.33 look even better.

Fyi Tiffany Grant is apparently super bitter over the Netflix dub.

I think she got announced for the new Rebuild dubs apparently coming down the pipe, so she should be happy with that at least. Hopefully she gets to finish off the role with 3.0+1.0 next year or something, she's been Asuka for almost 25 years now. I hope she gets closure.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-08-07/amazon-prime-video-lists-new-english-dub-cast-for-1st-3-rebuild-of-evangelion-films/.175998

I'm only speculating here but I think Anno/Khara were so upset with the original 3.0 dub that they severed ties with Funimation after its release. The Netflix dub was in-house IIRC, and the new Rebuild dubs are apparently by some outfit called "Dubbing Brothers USA".

I p much never bother with movies and just stick to the show with everything.

The movies are basically an alternate timeline from the show. They start out covering the same ground as the show, but then turn into a different thing.

Officially, Evangelion is divided into two continuities.

The 26-episode anime + End of Evangelion, all released in the 90s.

And the four movies collectively called "Rebuild of Evangelion", released as 1.11, 2.22, 3.33, and 3.0+1.0. These correspond to the release dates in my original post.

1.11 and 2.22 recap the series up to about episode 24 with minor-but-actually-kinda-major differences. 3.33 and 3.0+1.0 are completely new material.

Tasty · « **Reply #38 on:** August 13, 2021, 01:07:39 PM »

Finished 1.11 and halfway through 2.22 now. First new observation on this rewatch having seen the series last year is they've actually softened Gendo quite a bit. Super interested to see where this leads.

Neon Genesis Evangelion debuted on October 4, 1995.

<12 years>

The first Rebuild film was released on September 1, 2007.

The final Rebuild film was released on March 8, 2021.

Wasn't what I was expecting but also, when has this series ever been? I really liked the "set" imagery. Had more of a 25+26 vibe than an EoE vibe overall.

Oh god this was so bad.

Somehow it's even worse than 3.0. Re-watching the back half of 3.0 before watching this, 3.0 has issues but at least it's pretty well directed still and stylish and the end stuff is interesting.

4.0 is just so.fucking.dull. It's poorly directed, especially if you try to compare it to EoE, and the story is mind-bogglingly uninteresting. What should have been the EoE major exciting shit ended up being the least exciting movie of the 4.

Considering Anno did a good job with Shin Godzilla, it doesn't seem like Anno's lost his touch, but rather that he just buckled under the pressure to finally end Eva and crapped out a shitter of a bland movie.

The Shinji vs Eva final boss was the worsttttttt

BLEH, the one bright spot is this doesn't retcon the original series & EoE particularly so we still have those masterpieces and we'll always have 2.0, an extremely good and well directed modern Eva film that setup plenty of potential for Rebuild to go interesting places...and then that never happened. SIGH.

Bebpo · « **Reply #55 on:** August 14, 2021, 04:55:39 AM »

I don't understand how anyone could like this. Did you people also like 3.0?

Apparently this movie is being well received.

I don't get it. This movie makes me want to give up on anime it's so bland. It feels like if you took some random anime directed who directs NARUTO MOVIE #6 and asked him to write & direct a mainstream summer blockbuster conclusion to the Eva franchise.
