haha nice

now that it's been so long, is the Eva theme just something every kid grew up with in Japan, like Pokemon or DBZ themes?

i hope the themes for the japanese pokemon and dbz animes aren't regularly played, they're horrible

awww, i like "cha-la head cha-la." i mean it's pretty silly but it has a nice peppiness often missing from the show itself.

more shocked that Dark Horse is actually publishing this. guess the Eva mangas do better here than i thought

Ready Eva 01

wowwwww I just started this yday and 5 eps in I am OBSESSED w it, also nb I only started it bcz Brad Nelson says "End of Evangelion" is one of the best movies of all time and I want to see it

hahaha just you wait

don't read this thread steve

The blu-ray rip I have looks incredible, the colors are great, I don't think I realized how techno-futuristic/sci-fi/cyberpunky this would be??? I think a lot of my interest in this is rooted in 90s nostalgia but even beyond that it's p great, also this is the best 10 seconds of any opening sequence in the history of the universe

fukk i wanna see that blu-ray rip

also steve you're extremely otm about the opening sequence. the tech design is very "1997's idea of how shitty the future would be" and i love it too

what in the world do i have to do to not only get evangelion back in print but also get a u.s. blu-ray release

would buy a ludicrous Eva blu box, yeah

where that final movie at

honestly I just downloaded it, the files are p small (like ~250mb per episode) but they still look amazing on my 55" tv, and come with both the dub and the sub tracks (spoiler alert: the dub is weak as fuck and watching this show in English is bizarre). There are torrents out there with like 1gb episodes but it might be overkill as I can't really see any room for improvement over this.

the last time i checked: it's almost done i think xp

yeah don't watch the dub

i have affection for the dub as that's how i initially encountered the series (and bc i was a huge anime nerd in high school i kinda followed the voice actors from anime to anime; i once got to meet tiffany grant at a convention and i was soooo psyched) and everybody gets way better as they go along but no one has to put themselves through it

I learned recently that anime in Japan is super accessible and thus DVD and Blu Ray sets are made more as collectors items than as a way to watch a show (which is why they'll put like 2-3 sidesteps per disc and then sell them for way too much $$$). Is anime on DVD/BR dumb and expensive like this in the US too?

xp yeah for me anime is so distinctly Japanese that watching it in English is just jarring, and also the voice acting is always over-eager and terrible and at least w/ Japanese since I don't understand it I can pretend it's really lifelike (even though it's prob not). I think the only exception was Cowboy Bebop which is super western and apparently the creator preferred the dub, which they actually did a great job on, but when I was watching it on Hulu they only had dubs of the first 4 or so episodes and I had to switch :-/

though it's easier to take everything in when you don't have to constantly read the dialogue

i will say that tiffany grant eventually becomes a great asuka

everyone else just gets competent iirc. shinji's dub voice is especially a loss bc the guy cannot scream (i've probably said this upthread but megumi ogata can fuckin' scream)

i haven't purchased anime in a while but basically almost all of the distributors i was familiar with when i was a huge anime fan are straight up gone except for funimation. feel like box sets have only gotten cheaper over the years but there's not a lot of profit in rereleasing sets as blu-rays afaict so it doesn't happen very often (i was thinking the other day that i'd buy a blu-ray set of haibane renmei but there isn't one in the u.s.. the dvd box is still in print (funimation took over the rights from pioneer) and is only $25 (for 13 episodes))

oh but funimation did put out the lain blu ray so who knows

How is crunchyroll as a streaming platform?

it was the only place where i was able to find subtitled haibane renmei episodes recently so a+ from me

US anime home video release used to be like that - way too spread out and expensive - but in the last decade+ it's gotten more reasonable with season sets, in general

ya I just looked at amazon and complete FLCL, Bebop, and som eothers are $30 or less on BR

I also started Paranoia Agent and it's also awesome

really sad in particular that paranoia agent is oop here

the complete NGE sets are 300-400 bucks in canada :(

wow look how stupid this is

lmao

what does Taco Bell have to do with Eva?

it requires you to think outside of the bun. the bun represents existence

it's about not running away, sometimes taco bell is your only option and if you run away you won't have dinner so you just have to go to taco bell

Fourth Meal is an event mentioned in Neon Genesis Evangelion and finally occurring in The End of Evangelion where Human Instrumentality was almost achieved.

!!!!! re: brad suggesting an Eva blu-ray box is coming soon

i did no such thing

gonna imagine you did still

i really want to rewatch the series, i haven't seen it since 2002 & i don't have those DVDs anymore. I watched the dubs, obv

god watch the subs right now

I don't have the DVDs anymore!!
