Evangelion should die in a fire.

[Nakura]

I've been watching Fruits Basket lately. It's pretty good, albeit slow.

[NGTM-1R]

Evangelion should die in a fire.

There are days I think this, but it's an amazing story for people to write deconstructive takes on.

[Dark Hunter]

I finally managed to see Evangelion 3.33.

...

...what. Seriously, what?

Well, any non-Eva fans are going to have been left in the dark several miles back at this point if they've only been following the movies. For those of us familiar with the series mythology it's still rather confusing. They pulled some stuff in this movie I didn't think was even possible in Eva.

I think I have a decent grasp on what's going on, though I'm at a loss on several things... I suppose we just have to wait until Evangelion Final to clear anything up (though, this being Eva, I sort of doubt it will).

It's all been a dream experienced by God-Shinji from EoE, just before he rejects instrumentality.

 

You know, I can't say that something like this hasn't crossed my mind, but I don't think that even Anno would take his fanbase-trolling that far.

It'd be no different from how the original series ended. Though I don't think things will stop at just death threats should he do this, dem japanese fanbases are RABID!

And the thing is, I don't think that it's too far from the truth. There are too many things that tie the world in with EoE, that it's only logical to assume that it's linked in some fairly significant way to the original series' timestream/universe/reality/mentalbreakdowninaboxset.

Reading about massive Evangelion cluster****s of plot and comprehension is why I'll never watch it.

[BloodEagle]

Watch the last few episodes of Inferno Cop, instead.   

[Phantom Hoover]

i watched the thick of it a while back, imo a good show

[ssmit132]

"So it's good, huh? I'll give it a chance. And I hate pants anyways."

*watches opening battle*

"Now, isn't that a bit much?"

*watches Yoshika's introduction*

"Oh, so you meant NO pants, like anywhere."

That's not too far off, actually. Except I read about the lack of pants from the description; my friend didn't even mention anything about no pants until I shared that with him - and then he said it wasn't ever talked about in the show. Well, not talked about, certainly...

Tell you what, though, the movie had fantastic music.

[yuezhi]

Tetsugin 28-go. I watched first episode of the remake and it's not bad, just some anti-american stuff thrown in occasionally and a random pompadour.

[Mongoose]

Man you need to go old-school and watch the original black-and-white.  GI-GAN-TOOOOORRRRRR!

[yuezhi]

Haven't looked for it but with a name like that it must be dubbed and I don't like dubs.

Where can you find black and white anime on the internets anyways?

[Mongoose]

Yes, it was dubbed...but considering it was made in 1963, do you really think you'd miss much by seeing it that way?

And its very own

Actually...

[Rodo]

AHA! the hugely expected vengeance against the Titans!

[ssmit132]

Actually...

...okay, fine, once or twice maybe. But that's not the point I was making.

EDIT: I was going to just avoid technicalities, but since Dark Hunter brought it up: I've heard that the Japanese dub actually uses the word for "trousers" ("zubon") rather than the word for "panties" (whatever that is), so it might be a direct translation (to American-English "pants"). On my DVD, the English dub uses "panties", while the sub uses "pants" (and it's a different set of subs to Gortef's).

[Dark Hunter]

She was referring to her underwear in that scene... a British person must have been subtitling that one.

[FireSpawn]

I....I'm actually feeling ashamed to even know of Strike Witches now.
