The New Adventures of ILXor: The Animated Series Poll voting and campaigning thread

I dunno if there's other threads I should bump, I'm fairly confident it has garnered the requisite attention

wow

xpost to Cosplay gone... good

Anno published a lengthy article yesterday about the clusterfuck that is Gainax
most pertinent to this thread: Gainax got into such financial difficulty that childhood friend & Gainax president Yamaga asked Anno for a 100 million yen loan in 2014, Anno gave him it interest free & with no conditions in exchange for all Eva rights (which probably explains the Netflix deal). Yamaga then started ghosting Anno over the loan repayments, sold off properties like Gunbuster without telling Anno, created shell companies, sold off production materials etc. Anno eventually sued them.

I am rewatching Evangelion bcz i'm showing it to my friend for the first time and he is so hooked, there's a bunch of stuff I'm noticing that I either forgot or didn't notice before, I can't wait to watch EoE and then the Rebuilds (which I've seen once before)

**REBUILD MOVIE SPOILERS**
do we all support the theory that the rebuilds are part of a time loop?

the rebuild movies are obviously set in the remade post-end of eva world to me but that might as well be a time loop

the final rebuild movie is coming out the day after my birthday this year :D

Have we all watched the first ten mins of 3.0+1.0?

i haven't! idk if i want to

i def don't want to yet

no spoilers, but I did watch it and now I have many more questions

oh that means it's good

hi Stevie D :)

hellooooo!!!

god it's amazing that I've seen this in its entirety 3 times now and I'm still confused

3.0+1.0 delayed again :( :( :(

new English title revealed as (lol) Thrice Upon a Time

Thrice Upon a Time

haha

if it gets delayed til next year i'll be so sad but it's prob the only thing that makes sense

New Eva collection at Uniqlo!!!!

It's just ok.

I'm gonna rewatch the Rebuilds soon which I am looking forward to it now that I'm on board with the theory that it's all set in the same continuity and is either a time loop or some sort of post-Third Impact "redo"

wait does this mean evangelion 3.0+1.0 has been undelayed

also the rebuilds are a sequel to the show, feel like 3.0 all but confirms this

at least two of the shirts look kinda tight

movie still delayed to unknown point in time according to wiki :(

what they baggy af

not seeing un-delay news??

yeah, those shirts are pretty disappointing.

not as good as https://i.imgur.com/O3Z8Piu.jpg

I like the one with the angel skull on the pocket

I still have the NERV logo shirt I bought like 12 years ago at a con (I think), it's starting to peel apart but it's extremely classique

just watched Love & Pop. super highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.

is it streaming anywhere?

not to my knowledge! acquired illegally

Oh yes I also "obtained" this recently but haven't watch it yet!! I did a deep dive trying to locate Japanese films that depicted like late 90s to mid 00's Shibuya and this was one of 2 things I found

Stevie, interested to know what other films you found on your dive?

the only other movie was "Bounce Ko Gals". My understanding is that it's difficult to obtain permits for shooting on the streets of Tokyo, and I'm also undoubtedly hampered by doing all of my research in English and not Japanese.

it's been years since I've seen it but I think Kamikaze Girls had a section where they walk around early 00s Shibuya when the lolita fashion girl goes to visit the real life clothes shop Baby, The Stars Shine Bright

i made some gifs
