neon genesis evangelion

i guess i'll only know that when i glimpse it with my own eyes

I read spoilers because I'm like that, sounds wild is all I'm gonna say

i watched the first 12 minutes and goddamn if this isn't the prettiest animated film ever made already

I watched like two episodes of the original,.so I won't understand this, but might watch it anyway.

warning: frame rate laggy

thanks!

pretty wild set piece, all the digital fx feel more seamless afaict too. it’s been a while since i watched the rebuilds but i remember them being... a little too shiny or something.

i read spoilers and it sounds really great, if they pulled it off i feel confident it'll be my favourite of the rebuilds

for 3.0 it took a few months before there was a subbed camrip available, we might be waiting just as long this time

wild it's finished at last though

also utada hikaru's theme song for it was produced by ag cook which just feels bizarre?

good song though

ugh apparently the first 3 films didn't get released in the US until TWO YEARS after their Japanese releases

hoping with all the attention from Netflix last year, it'll move more quickly this time

there's rumours it's coming to amazon prime later this year

i watched 1.0 without subtitles... so many times

I'd be very surprised if the rebuilds didn't make it to a US streaming service in the next 12 months or so

Well well

Holy Shit! I just realized the NDA we sign for the @Netflix Evangelion has expired!! I've been waiting for 2 years to say this: You know the crappy, awful script they used? They tried to make us use that EXACT SAME script 25 years ago. Matt stood up to them and told them (1)

that the script was ridiculous and too step off, we're using a script that actually makes sense. If only Netflix had had the balls to do that, I think the performances of the new crew would have been even more stellar.

so there was an N64 game and it used the same sound font as Super Mario 64 and

lol

omg I love this hahaha

I literally started laughing uncontrollably in public listening to this

i'm introducing a friend to the show, we're about to watch episode 19

y'all this show is so fucking good

(we're watching a fansub, that's how much i don't want to rewatch the netflix tranlsation)

My 2nd and 3rd Eva watches were showing it to friends, it's soooooooo much fun watching someone watch Eva for the first time

... i've almost certainly done this before itt but here's something no one asked for: a ranking of the officially-released english translations of evangelion

supreme being: the translation for the manga entertainment release of end of evangelion, afaict that shit is perfect. a true shame the dvd sucks so much
1. original adv translation: which... is full of inaccuracies... very annoying ones too (cf. translating kaji's "hana" (flower) as "watermelons"). but it's the most elegant translation in english, really well-written and consistent and you're never distracted by the syntax
2. platinum edition: actually very accurate but the syntax is super tortured. the sentences don't work together right
3. netflix: technically accurate (i think?) but godawful

Report back on your preferred fansub

prob the one i'm watching, which isn't perfect but does the job, probably lands somewhere between 1 and 2

(it's the one most widely available on kissanime and other such websites afaict)

any news on 3.0+1.0's release plans outside Japan?

none that i've heard

one of my favorite things about the adv translation is the relentless use of the word "sortie." more sortie pls

it has come to my attention that the "fansub" i'm watching may in fact just be the platinum edition translation, so i have much less beef with it than i thought i did

oh my god 3.0+1.0 on Prime Video August 13?????

https://www.khara.co.jp/2021/07/02/ev04overseas/

there'd been rumours it was coming to prime video for its western release swirling around for months, but i absolutely wasn't expecting it so soon, fantastic news

MY HEART

squee

Blu Ray "ultimate edition" preorders up next week, place you bets on price and contents
US https://store.gkids.com/pages/neon-genesis-evangelion
UK https://evangelion.alltheanime.com/
Madman are doing AU & NZ release too

i will buy this and i will not be happy about it

About time! I am afraid of the price tag already. This is gonna be another one of those dumb collectible, sits-on-my-shelf-unwatched-forever purchases.

so, this is probably gonna have the same stiff translations as the netflix release, right? :/

damn right but also who knows

3.0 had two different translations that delayed the release for years so i feel like anything could be happening

(but it’s also almost certainly the netflix translation)

oh btw. isn’t 3.0+1.0 out on amazon prime in like 30 mins

i mean i’ll prob buy it irregardless but that translation seemed real lousy man, woof

xpost whaaaaaaat!

i dont think i used xpost right bc that is so exciting

holy moly

wild film, gonna take some time to process this one

wow

a nearly ideal conclusion to evangelion as a whole

i have a few issues with it still but it really delivered after all this time
