Reserving judgement till we get 4.0.

Of course, with a bit of thinking/AMVs... (obviously, spoilers are involved with the video, and the payoff is worth it if you watch/listen all the way through the first time).

Whether it's Doritos, horse racing, or razors. I love when Eva marketing shows up.

It is almost always the best thing. I'm frankly amazed they didn't officially license sex toys. Or did that happen when I wasn't paying attention?

Life is too short to waste watching recaps.

If you're not sure about the series, watch Death. If you like it but want more detail, watch the full show. Either way, proceed to End of Evangelion and then into the Rebuilds.

Great conversation and thread everyone. I'm a chronic lurker, but I felt compelled to contribute this email Amazon sent me:

"We have good news! We're able to get this part of your order to you faster than we originally promised:

"Evangelion 3.33: You Can (Not) Redo [Blu-ray]"
Previous estimated arrival date: February 18, 2014
New estimated arrival date: January 08, 2014 - January 11, 2014"

As a huge fan of the series, the rebuild has been just the ticket to bring me back. Although the sub of 3.0 I watched a few months ago left me with mixed feelings....

I got that too, which was coincident with Funimation announcing that the release was delayed, so I'm not sure what to believe.

I'm going tonight mostly for the novelty of seeing it in a theater. Last time I saw an animated ova in a cinema was the Cowboy Bebop movie in 2003.

Which basically going by the Facebook where they announce new theaters was them adding two chicago showings and mysteriously removing the Minneapolis showing.

As somebody who lives in a market that Funimation doesn't care about (Wisconsin). The delay comes off as not to focus on a more expansive theatrical release but instead systematically gently caress over anybody who doesn't live in a bigger market like Texas or California.

Of course its a mixed loving blessing because I took the time to watch 3.33 last night and just found it to be simply awful. Hopefully 4.0 is good but 3.0 just felt like a kick in the face.

Evangelion remains as polarizing as ever; about 1/3 of the audience in the theater I was in tonight felt the same.

Subtitles during last nights showing felt a little rushed, would have expected something a little better for an official release.

It was dubs at mine. Obviously being played off a disc, I guess they let the theaters choose.

Also yeah, the weaboo fucks at the box I was in were hooting anytime kaworu was on the screen.

EDIT: vvvvv Useful to know. I saw subs at Otakon so I'm not too worried about catching them again.

That reminds me, what's going on with the rights to the original series? The movies have been in limbo since forever but has the TV series basically vanished as well?

One of the "ADV Voltron" companies (Aesir) had it but hasn't done anything with it.

Haven't been able to find any more reputable sources confirming, but if true, that's uh...unexpected.

Looks about as legit as the Tobey Maguire Robotech movie.

In both versions of the fight, we were treated to reaction shots of the supporting characters staring in slack-jawed horror. It's impossible to pretend that the audience is supposed to interpret the scene as just "giant robot saves the day by punching out a giant monster; both combatants suffer some damage in the fight" (cf. Gypsy Danger v Otachi, which was PG-13) Also, the TV version ends with a human child being mutilated.

Fight Club did a similar thing in which the Narrator beat the hell out of Angel Face and the reaction shots of the crowd were what made it horrible. We only saw brief flashes of the beating but long shots of the grimacing onlookers.

Funimation has it back up on their website for pre-order so it may come out a mere year behind schedule.

I dunno, Kaowru isn't a terrible choice for the Moon. Probably makes more sense there then he does at Hierophant - though that might just be because I can never remember what the gently caress Hierophant is for.

A hierophant is a priest, though I don't know what the tarot association is.
