...

Do you have ADD or are you just completely incapable of following conversations?

I didn't realise I had to follow the conversation. Sorry, conversation lord .

 

[Max Payne]

You didn't realise you had to follow conversations in a television show?

What.

 

[Ghost X]

I have absolutely no fucking clue what you are on about now. Please rephrase .

 

[Max Payne]

You're saying Eva had a lot of boring bits, and I could only see it being boring if you can't follow conversations, or if you have a need to see explosions and action all of the time.

this topic is about the movies, which generally assumes people have watched at least some of you are [not] alone and you can [not] advance

soyeah

@Dacon: Ah, okay. I get you now. You had me on edge there for a minute .

Well, if all the 'boring bits' contained conversation then I guess the conversation wasn't engaging enough for me. I can only remember it being boring . I can watch films without action and not be bored, so I think its not me, but rather how Evangelion handles it. Mind you, this is true of a lot of anime I'm familiar with .

@Feferi: So its illegal for me to say I want to watch the films in a topic about the films? Interesting. Live and let live *cry*.

I have yet to see any of the new films, but I'm rather highly motivated to check them out now.

I'm especially intrigued by the idea that the "reboot" might actually be taking place within the continuity of Evangelion itself, meaning that the 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, (4.0) films are actually sequels to the series. It also makes the titles, You Are (Not) Alone, You Can (Not) Advance, You Can (Not) Redo rather intriguing.

Lastly, the site for 4.0 is rather odd.

I'm downloading the original series as I type. Last time I watched it was around '98 and while I enjoyed it for the most part I didn't really enjoy how it ended. I'm not some sort of 'guns and explosions' freak, I just felt like it got bogged down in symbolism and stuff, and yeah obviously symbolism is going to feature heavily in a series called 'neon genesis evangelion' but towards the end I did find it very hard to follow. In particular the episode where Rei seems to be talking to herself in some sort of hallucination, I think I just lost the thread there.

Maybe it was just too much of a gear change for what began as the usual 'kids and mecha' type anime? Maybe I would have handled it better if the change had been more gradual? *shrug*

Anyway, maybe it will make more sense now that I'm older?

Wonder how different this reboot/remake is going to be?

Welcome to 2010 lol.

Octo. You need to watch the movies. I mean, yeah, the original TV series ending was just "uhhh what did I just witness?". I have to admit that, after I watched the movies, I was like "ohhh right, now I get it".

The original ending does have a lot of symbolism. To me, episodes 25 and 26, and the movies, are the two sides of a coin. They're telling the same story, only that one's just using symbolism to tell you, while the other shows you the actual events.

Hope I made sense!

I think I did watch the first two movies, but to be honest that was so long ago I've forgotten much of what happened, except for everything being fucked

Anyway, rest assured it will all get rewatched in good time

End of Eva was a big fuck you from Anno to Eva fans.

Never let your personal problems control your art dude ;_;

I know this is random but I've just noticed you joined on OCTOber. I mean, yeah, this is so off-topic, but stil.

And I shall rest assured, then! Looking forward to 3.0, myself. And especially, 3.33, of course. (Future Blu-Ray edition. First one was 1.11, second one was 2.22, so I'm assuming here...)

 

[Strangelove]

I'm probably alone in wondering what the Japanese title of the final film will be, since the naming scheme they used for the first three ends there (序破急, even if they replaced the last one with Q instead). But maybe ? is what the final name will be.

in this post: stuff only i worry about

Now I'm off to look how much BD copies of the first two films are.

[Tetsujin]

Yesssss

 

[Alex Strife]

It was about time.

 

[Ghost X]

Where was the footage taken, I wonder.

 

[Strangelove]

It was screened at the Wald 9 cinema in Shinjuku, Tokyo (projected onto a wall) as the 8th Eva-Extra, which was a series of free magazines they released at specific times like DVD releases and so on.
