Paracelsus posted:I've seen a rip packaged with a sub script, but nothing that's a unified product. I'd be a bit skeptical since if 3.33 added any content (it probably added a few minor things here and there at the very least) the subs would desync pretty quickly since the existing subs were based on the cam rip.

SatansBestBuddy posted:I remember reading out in the vast wilds of the internet that some Japanese anime producers don't have the original animation for some animes anymore, only copies at slightly better than DVD resolutions, so the reason most old anime like Cowboy Bebop and Eva haven't gotten the blu-ray treatment is because the originals simply don't exist anymore, so we'd only ever get DVD quality releases if they tried. Cowboy Bebop actually did get some blu-rays out a few months back! And they look pretty nice. Pity there's no sign of a release in English. Gainax has been releasing a lot of their older stuff on blu-ray (and goddamn, do those Gunbuster blu-rays look great) so until I hear otherwise I'm assuming they're just saving the Eva blu-rays for the 20th anniversary/something to make more money once the movies end.

ImpAtom posted:I absolutely can't wait to see how SRW handles this. Hey, a timeskip means that much to the chagrin of everyone, they have an easy method for fitting Gundam AGE into this!  Though my guess is we'll have to wait for the last movie to finish before seeing a proper SRW-showing. Which is probably for the best, considering how underwhelming Rebuild was in L.

Gainax has never been that good at handling money and Anno was a co-founder of Gainax so I don't think it's the former!

Regalingualius posted:On another note, has Funimation said anything about releasing another set of the series since they got the license? I just decided to look at the Platinum set on Amazon, and holy gently caress am I glad I got it when I did. Right now they only have the license to the movies (and each movie had to be licensed individually). I'm sure they want the TV series because a reissue would be a license to print money, but for the near future the tv series is out of print.

PootieTang posted:If you're referring to the bit I think you are, then this would include possibly the greatest transition in the series. Yeah, I always loved how they did that. I understand why they changed it for 1.11, since that's the sort of pacing that works well for tv episodes but not so much with a single movie. But it's still a shame that to see it be changed to be more straightforward.

I didn't have a problem with their attitude towards Shinji since being reminded of how badly he hosed up every single day for about 14 years straight can really have quite the effect on you. Understandable that they'd be pissed off. And considering Shinji's actions later in the film, it turns out they were right to be. Was it the rational way to treat him? Of course not, but Eva characters have never been known for their rational decisions

Just gonna repeat my point from the previous page:Srice posted:I didn't have a problem with their attitude towards Shinji since being reminded of how badly he hosed up every single day for about 14 years straight can really have quite the effect on you. Understandable that they'd be pissed off. And considering Shinji's actions later in the film, it turns out they were right to be. Sure, Shinji is 14. But he made one hell of a mistake that's nigh-impossible to look past and he didn't even have to live with the consequences until they found him.

Funimation has appeared on the ANNCast a few times and they've straight up said that the previous 2 Eva movies have been a gigantic hit for them. Which makes the delays all the weirder! I know that they've mentioned that part of the licensing requirements for each movie was a theatrical run, but that has been fulfilled for months now.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:US film and television censorship is a political game. It's not even remotely consistent from one movie or show to the next and trying to reverse engineer a set of clear rules used for it is hopeless. Yeah, the only real consistent rule is that if you're a bigger studio you can get away with more.

Eva was still pretty popular after EoE and before the Rebuilds started, so I think it will do just fine for a long time. Not everything needs a constant stream of new material.

dotJPG posted:Eva's reputation may be more famous than the series itself which I think is a shame because it causes many new viewers to watch it so critically they miss out on the cool stuff. I really like the art style, imagery, sound, the supernatural story and some of the themes it uses. For me it didn't have to come with some deep philosophical revelation. It's not perfect, but its still one of my favourite series. Doesn't mean I should be looked down on for it. One thing that I feel rarely gets enough credit is all the monster of the week stuff in the first half. It's all so well done and they did a fine job at making plenty of unique fights. Compare it to its contemporaries which would have throwaway monsters and they'd be hella formulaic about it, even down to reusing stock footage for attacks.

NikkolasKing posted:Although I'm curious about something. Has anyone here seen Space Runaway Ideon? I've heard multiple people say it was Eva before Eva was Eva. I just a read a post that said this a minute ago elsewhere but I've heard it semi-frequently over the years. There are a few common threads to be found (mainly at the very end) but not enough that I would tell people to watch Ideon if they liked Eva. Especially since Ideon's cast doesn't really stand out much. If Cosmo didn't have that afro he'd be indistinguishable from most 80s mecha protagonists!

In Training posted:Oh and there is one part where Shinji is having a breakdown in the room full of pipes, and in a series full of spectacularly realized mental breakdowns, it seems pretty uninspired. An off kilter camera and some of the overlaid images effect (don't know if there's a better term for this) of shinji's wide eyes. They've done more subtle and better scenes dealing with similar moments previously and it sticks out to me. I vividly remember this shot because it looked so cheap, so budget, just so out of place in an otherwise good-looking film

Raxivace posted:Shinji's arc in 2.22 ends with him learning to ignore the well being of others and act selfishly to get what he wants. This same selfishness is what motivates him through the entirety of 3.33. One of many things I really like about the Rebuilds is showing that Shinji truly has a lot in common with his father, even moreso than the series.

In Training posted:People living for decades of misinformation or second guessing or flat out not knowing Shinji's motivations, and having to deal with the consequences of his actions while he disappears into the ether is bound to make them irrationally despise the kid. It makes complete sense Literally every single day for all those years the crew could simply look outside and be reminded of what happened, it would always be a constant reminder. It would be p weird if everyone acted rationally towards Shinji once they found him.

In Training posted:The only part I don't like about 3.33 is that I wish there was just a teensy bit more screen time for the NERV desk mechanics. I don't remember their names, but the woman and the guy with the long hair, and glasses guy, who all got replaced by the goofy looking new inept pilots. The woman shows up for 2 seconds scowling below decks, but I wonder what she's been through. I remember some of the new characters were supposed to be young enough that they would have been babies or maybe not even born when all that poo poo when down? Feels like a missed opportunity that they didn't get to do anything, would have been a neat perspective, seeing characters that never knew a life outside that barren hellscape.
