Rebuild is finally ending and short of doing a Rebuild-style remake but in the form of a TV show, they need something to keep Eva on the market. The timing of this might also explain why Funimation hasn't picked up the license for the TV series, yet.

I mostly meant "on the market" in the sense of there being a new (or at least remade) major thing. I am aware of the tie-ins and merchandise, but aside from Rebuild there hasn't exactly been anything new Eva-related in theaters or on TV. Maybe if one of the spin-offs like the Raising Project manga got a TV show there would be that, but there hasn't been new TV since the 90s, and aside from remastering the original show I don't know what they will do to get something that high profile out now Rebuild is winding down.

Hey at least you're not Aoba. Dude had the worst instrumentality experience possible. Just screaming hysterically under his desk. I guess the implication being he didn't have anyone he loved or maybe his fetish was being terrified and humiliated by multiple Rei clones and he actually did get his dream come true. :downs:
pretty much had to be a goon.

If I remember correctly, this was supposed to be symbolic of Aoba being a nihilist (well, nihilist might be a poor translation or something) and not having anyone to connect with. Or at least, that's what Anno said :v:

The feeling I got while watching 3.0 was that it seems to have been made with the intention that you watch it tandem with 4.0, there's just no trying to take it on it's own in comparison to the first two Rebuilds. The whole thing comes off as a mess in its own right but might end up really great when paired with 4.0

Well the SIP manga is longer than the actual NGE manga and I don't think it's ending any time soon. That's pretty impressive.

As for the video game, wasn't there a Rei variant? I think I saw it on EvaGeeks. Granted, that might very old by this point.

I meant the video game, yeah. The game itself is pretty old by now (it came out in 2004) and the most it ever got toward a translation was an FAQ on EvaGeeks. It was discovered eventually that the game can be hooked up to a program that can dump all of the text that gets displayed on screen to a log as you play it, which can be run through machine translation to at least give you a rough idea of what you're doing, but it's not the same thing as an actual translation.

Also yeah the Rei variant (with additional Asuka variant) for the Nintendo DS got a fan translation a little while ago.

hey so there's this old rear end Eva parody video I'm trying to find

it was contemporary with, like, AMV Hell and poo poo and kind of in that vein, not like an abridged series, and I remember it being passed around a lot/constantly mentioned on EvaGeeks back in the day. I don't really remember much about it past that because I pretty much completely forgot this existed until a tiny bundle of synapses reconnected and I remembered it was a thing. does anyone know what the hell I might be thinking of?

And a card-based RPG at that. Evageeks has some scans from the book itself, though not all of them.

Sadly it was never fan-translated, but anyone that really wants to play an Evangelion tabletop RPG could probably make a decent system using GURPS as the base.

It would be way better than the time I tried to do an Evangelion campaign using a modified version of the setting and mechanics of 4th Edition Shadowrun. My group and I didn't take it very seriously but drat if it wasn't some hacked-together weird bullshit.

The entire film makes a lot more sense if you view the setting and everyone in it as the kind of hell/punishment that Shinji would design for himself after being absorbed into Unit-01 following an averted Third Impact.

Let's assume 4.0 never happens. Anno gets hit by a bus tomorrow and then the studio goes bankrupt. How would you guys rate the rebuilds overall, as a trilogy? There's lots of talk about "I'm waiting to see how it ends" but what if we just treat 3.0 as the end?

I would rate the first two films pretty highly, though I'm not sure I can rate one over the other. The Ramiel fight was loving beautiful and the last ten minutes of the second movie was a bold and surprising way to end the film. The third film was a huge disappointment and feels like it's supposed to be the first half of a film instead of a film in its own right.
