Current Events > Reminder: Evangelion 3.O+1.O drops on Amazon Prime in 4 days (Aug. XIIIth)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Thrice upon a time...


Fun Fact:

~ Did you know that a burning passion for Hideaki Annos Neon Genesis is widely regarded as having saved the entire anime industry during a period of economic turmoil in Japan?

Which certainly explains how the guy ended up getting his hands on the Godzilla reboot (Shin Godzilla) XD

Evangelions popularity there has been compared to Star Wars over here, and said to greatly outweigh that of most other Anime (although there are more popular Manga, like One Piece for example) ~ Imagine Pokmons popularity in US during the 90s.

Now, imagine that that popularity had never faded. You still see Pokmon cars. Pokmon shops. Pokmon *everything*. Thats Evangelion.

Hell, the creator went scorched earth on the entire internet for 6 months & kept the film from away the rest of the world.

For *6 months*. Can you believe that? You had to be *in Japan* to see the new/final Evangelion until now. Crazy. Ive never heard of anything like that for something so popular! lol

Tune in for the revolution. August 13th~

(Its not too late to watch the initial show & films. If you have never seen Evangelion.... do it. its only 25 episodes or something like that. If you binge it & do a little marathon on the other 3 or 4 movies, its perfectly feasible. Should only take a few days tops.)

Tbh, this is a once in a lifetime experience. This movie has been greatly praised as the best thing since sliced bread. A tall order for Evangelion, which has been decisive in its various iterations since the initial inception & infamously bizarre ending (to which there are a number of excuses that quite frankly dont make sense lol. I think they just wanted to cover face & stir the pot).

regardless,

I for one am looking forward to seeing what was worth keeping secret for 6 whole goddamn months, Japan!

This is the last of the reboot films right?

Are 1.0 and 2.0 streaming as well? Also are they dubbed or just subbed?

Didn't give a lot of information for us casuals.

Its the last one.

Netflix has the original show (which really is a masterpiece) as well as End of Evangelion. I think youll need to get a copy of the other ReBuild movies to see them though. Its been awhile since Ive checked, but I watched them all in Sub. Couldnt tell you if a dub existed! Sorry ^.^

Yes. Of course.

I cant imagine that theyd launch this film to American audiences in such a way without a dub, honestly.

You know Hideaki Anno (the director) is still making changes & doing cuts on it!? Madness.

Tha k you. Great news. I watched the OG Evangelion + EoE several times now and have wanted to check out the remake but didn't want to have to buy the DVD separately. Also it's been like 10 years between the first and last movie.

Guess I have my next weekend planned out.

Did you know the tv series on Netflix was redubbed with an entirely new cast? Did you know the Funimation dub if the movies are going to be redubbed by Amazon... With the old cast again.

So what exactly is different in these from the original series?

From what I remember the first movie is basically a retelling of the start of the tv series, but the second movie splits off into its own direction.

(Aug. XIIIth)

LOL

Is 3.0 an alternate version?

Really hoping for some Secret Blue Water // Nadia for this final installment

fingers crossed **

Never got around to watching any of the rebuilds so I've got a lot to catch up on soon. I only know a few minor things about the basic idea of them so they're mostly unspoiled for me.

I guess the flying Battleships make more sense after watching Nadia, tbh

I never watched any of these, and I forgot what happened in the original for the most part except for some key plot points

are the new ones any good, and how do they compare to the original

Theyre very good!

The rebuild follows the structure laid out by the original almost to the T, but **spoilers** presents itself as both a sequel, a remake, and a continuation of the original plot ~ following the example laid out by End of Evangelion: in other words~ Imagine how Final Fantasy VII remake deviates from the plot by demonstrating that Sephiroth remembers past/future events and all this has taken place before, but he presumably caught that information from the Life Stream. Thats basically how the Rebuild handles its story.

By the third film, we are 110% in the realm of a sequel, and Ill admit that I didnt fully understand the direction until diving into Nadia: Secret of Blue Water, to which Neon Genesis Evangelion was originally planned as a sequel to. In Nadia, they have the Adam/Eve giant & even explain why there is overlap between Aliens & Angels. So, without that.... you might be a little confused ~ which isnt necessarily a bad thing.

The animation is fantastic, as are the new designs. Come to think of it ~ this whole thing sounds an awful lot like Dark Souls II

the rebuild movies are bad, no thanks
