I definitely get where you're coming from brad but I can accept the new character dynamics a little better from that anglenot so much the marked increase in leering upskirt shots though

i am def more sensitive to eva becoming a harem anime than most
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 20 January 2021 14:31 (three years ago) link
definitely if I were new to Eva I would find it very annoying
― stylish but illegal (Simon H.), Wednesday, 20 January 2021 14:33 (three years ago) link
i also think people who haven't watched the first six episodes of eva 10000 times should watch 1.0, idk, it even affects me, someone who has seen the first six episodes of eva 1000 times. great emotional arc even if the new stuff is neither wildly nor radically new

it's funny how the rebuilds don't even really work as standalone movies..imo 2.22 and 3.33 are both more like "riffs" on the existing mythos than coherent films with a beginning/middle/end, and I can't imagine anyone who hasn't already seen the series and EoE getting much out of them other than the pretty images (of which there are a lot)
― stylish but illegal (Simon H.), Thursday, 21 January 2021 15:19 (three years ago) link
I haven't been tempted yet to watch anything after EoE. There's probably some merit to the Rebuilds, but I kinda get the sense that they're not the real deal.
― jmm, Thursday, 21 January 2021 15:48 (three years ago) link
if it's Anno and yer grandma on cel animation, it's the real deal
― stylish but illegal (Simon H.), Thursday, 21 January 2021 15:53 (three years ago) link
3 is totally the real deal
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 21 January 2021 15:55 (three years ago) link
and there definitely are eva fans who have only seen the rebuilds. i have no idea what their lives are like
fucked up
― stylish but illegal (Simon H.), Thursday, 21 January 2021 15:58 (three years ago) link
one thing I liked in 2.22 was that you got a little bit of a sense of Toyko-3 as an actual place people live their lives in - in the show I often got the impression this massive city was basically just a high school and a lot of empty streets and buildings lol
― stylish but illegal (Simon H.), Thursday, 21 January 2021 16:01 (three years ago) link
my fav part of 2.22 is the field trip to the anti-climate change facility
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 21 January 2021 16:02 (three years ago) link
there's also a montage of the city that none of the main characters work into until the last shot and that is not something we ever get in the series yeah
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 21 January 2021 16:03 (three years ago) link
it's funny though, it's not like tokyo-3 matters or meaningfully exists by the third movie lol
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 21 January 2021 16:05 (three years ago) link
yuuup lol. "thanks for being friends with my brother!"

it does give the emptiness of the environments in 3.33 a little extra impact tho
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 21 January 2021 16:06 (three years ago) link
I laughed out loud when I hit the credits of 3.33 and the preview for 3.0+1.0 promised "lots of fan service". Oh, like what I just watched?
― stylish but illegal (Simon H.), Thursday, 21 January 2021 16:09 (three years ago) link
i was talking to my friend about how 2's nonstop fanservice pivots into 3's total absence of it and she was like "no there's fanservice in 3!!! it's just fanservice for girls"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 21 January 2021 16:11 (three years ago) link
there's a piano-led tune in (I think) 2.22 that I kept wishing was a Japanese version of "Fear is a Man's Best Friend"

so this is actually the fourth movie right
i just want them to release a blu-ray set so i can watch all of this now
― Nhex, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 20:06 (three years ago) link
i have wondered since the very first announcement of this movie if the title suggested that they just stitched 3.0 onto the first half... but i'm pretty sure that's not the case

Whenever Shinji's not onscreen, all the other characters should be asking, "Where's Shinji?!"

I only skimmed the anime news network review but it was quite positive
― stimmy stimmy yah (Simon H.), Tuesday, 9 March 2021 17:07 (three years ago) link
i bet it fuckin rocks but i'm v curious as to whether it outdoes 3.0
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 9 March 2021 17:08 (three years ago) link
i guess i'll only know that when i glimpse it with my own eyes
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 9 March 2021 17:09 (three years ago) link
I read spoilers because I'm like that, sounds wild is all I'm gonna say
― stimmy stimmy yah (Simon H.), Tuesday, 9 March 2021 17:48 (three years ago) link
i watched the first 12 minutes and goddamn if this isn't the prettiest animated film ever made already
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 9 March 2021 18:34 (three years ago) link
I watched like two episodes of the original,.so I won't understand this, but might watch it anyway.

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.
― (⊙_⊙?) (original bgm), Tuesday, 9 March 2021 21:09 (three years ago) link
i read spoilers and it sounds really great, if they pulled it off i feel confident it'll be my favourite of the rebuilds
― ufo, Tuesday, 9 March 2021 23:36 (three years ago) link
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
― ufo, Tuesday, 9 March 2021 23:37 (three years ago) link
also utada hikaru's theme song for it was produced by ag cook which just feels bizarre?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Uhh62MUEic
good song though

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