I guess if Andrew WK can make a Gundam album and play with a HCM-Pro Nu Gundam in the liner notes, Fred Durst can have a Rei statue. :japan:

Anyone who happens to be into JRPGs, they announced that the new Tales games, Tales of Zesteria, is going to include Evangelion-themed costumes for the main cast. (The 4 Eva pilots and Misato.)

I hope the main villain will be dressed as Pen-Pen in a surprise twist.

episodes 25 & 26 has to be the most positive end to an anime i've ever seen.

Yeah, I actually really love the last part of episode 26. I think most of the backlash against those episodes is from fans who read the rumor that the death threats in EoE were referring to the way the TV series ended and base their whole opinion on that; it's actually a really thematically appropriate and beautiful ending. It's also really unintentionally hilarious in the dub, and that probably had a negative impact on people too; "It's all in your imagination, you megadork!"

So I've been rewatching the show and had no idea there were any Director's Cut episodes. I finally saw them for the first time and my mind is pretty blown now drat. Time for Episodes 25 and 26 now I guess.

I am currently showing someone the show and I'm dreading when these episodes come up. I can't decide whether to go for the Director's Cut episodes or not.
I don't have much of an opinion on which version of the lance throw I like better, they both have their ups and downs. Seeing Lilith's legs grow back is a plus. The extra footage of the expedition and I think there's a scene with Asuka and Kanji? Those are nice to have seen.
I guess my bigger problem is the Armisael fight. It's so different. It uses designs that are not part of the show (white Rei, Rei heads popping out of things). The entire thing with white Rei growing out of the angel is dumb. Actually I'm sure they used a shot from End of Eva in it when you see white Rei blink. Let's not even speak of the Angel Tower you can't even make out.
The DC of episode 24 has a scene where Kaworu talks to 15 SEELE monoliths. What's up with that?

It's not like a five star restaurant meal; show then the directors cut cause more is better also it has some pretty nicely animated bits.

Original episodes are designed to lead into 25/26, DC episodes are designed to lead into EoE. So, maybe both?

This is pretty much the big issue with the DC episodes, IMO. Was it just supposed to be SEELE bamboozling Kaworu into thinking they supported his aims? They lay out that Adam is "with" Gendo, why is he then surprised that Lilith is the one on the cross in Terminal Dogma? Why are there all the sudden 15 instead of the usual number?

But also gently caress it, it just adds more confusion to the confusion pile, so you should use the DC ones. Give them the Full Eva Experience™

It's the wrong number for that, too, unless you count Israfel twice.

Idk let's count adam because reasons but not Lilith. Or maybe vice versa. Or maybe the fifteenth one is humanity. Or maybe it's the fourteen dead Angels and Kiel or w/e his name is spelled.

I keep thinking I gotta go rewatch this show and I should it's been too long.

It's just regular SEELE, but by some strange coincidence it was Bring Your Daughter to Work Day.



(Except for Gendo. Every day is "bring your daughter to work day" when you're Gendo.)

drat that sucks because I thought the whole anime was just "DEEP: THE ANIME" the first time I watched it and mostly just enjoyed the battle sequences and shinji raging in eva 001.

but every time I've rewatched it I've liked it for how real the characters were and how they connected. especially connected to kaiji and misato and later to shinji and gendo.

One thing I really like about episode 2 is that you don't see the fight in real time. They go through most of the episode, making you think perhaps Shinji pulled this off somehow, and then you see the flashback and suddenly EVA-01 turns into an unholy abomination and goes Berserk and it's all :stare:.

1.11 changes this so you see EVA-01 going Berserk in real time as opposed to in flashback...but then they play out the rest of the section anyways just like in episode 2. It's odd.

interdasting. peresonely, i herad abote tihs showe ~12 year aggo adn dismissed it becuase it had gratuitious christianity rite ther in th tittle. Later I heard it had an actual character-driven story in there somewhere and the Angels seemed like they'd make for good fights so I gave the show a shot this year and it had all of those things. A fun show.

True story, the played Ep1 of the dub at my high school's first Anime Club meeting.

Then they played about 10 minutes of Fist of the North Star.

And that is the story of how my high school' Anime Club only had one meeting.

Well, it would feel a bit more contrived if a movie suddenly jumped ahead only to flash back again 5 minutes later. That works well in a TV show with 20 minute episodes but I don't think it'd translate.
