it has been a long time since i've sat down and just watched the first episode of EVA. It makes such a good first impression, honestly. The Angel's design is great, the whole first episode is very cinematic, and the stakes are immediately very high and very obvious. edit: but i was literally watching 2.22 an hour ago to kill time until Netflix dropped it and whoever said that Shinji and Misato's VAs sound like they're just doing impressions of the OG actors is dead on.

Honestly anyone posting about it right now is either someone who has engaged with Eva before, someone who’s live-tweeting a watch, or someone who has no idea what they’re talking about. It’s gonna be like a week or so before we start getting takes from people who watched it for the first time and sat with it a few days.

It also sounds like they're going to cover a few more episodes in the future as well. there's a Ringer podcast about TV recapping that's going through Eva as well, the first couple episodes are out and they're incredibly thorough. This is the second episode, the first one is mostly setup but talks about the first couple episodes, this one goes through 3-7.

watching the new dub Misato's VA really, really reminded me of someone but I couldn't place it until a couple minutes ago. I dunno what the exact trigger was, but she sounds almost exactly like Idina Menzel (aka Elsa from Frozen and a shitload of broadway shows). I actually really like most of the voice actors in this dub. I can't think of anyone who I haven't adjusted to, and any problems i have with this dub are generally "this doesn't sound like how humans choose words" rather than anything to do with performance.

Xander B Coolridge posted:It's even more frustrating that he continues to do it after they halt the podcast and have a talk about the correct pronunciation of her name I think the Waypoint podcast has more interesting discussion about the show, especially when it comes to how much Eva talks out of both sides of its mouth re: sexualization of 14-year-olds and also calling out Kaji for repeatedly sexually assaulting Misato while being the cool guy, but the Ringer podcasts win points for never making me say “please please please stop saying that name wrong” in futility. Not just with Asuka but also Futsuyuki.

there's a rewatch going on on r/Anime and there's a dude in the comments who posts a big collage of the best shots for each episode and this really is such a beautiful show edit: also i found a new wallpaper for my phone. Unit-01's baptism in blood here is quite possibly one of the most perfectly animated moments of this episode and this shot was just loving insane

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:The most plausible theory I've heard so far for why 25 and 26 are what they are, is that Anno was submitting final scripts extremely late in the back half of the series due to depression, which meant that nobody was really checking them for objectionable content before animation was able to start, which meant that when the episode with Misato and Kaji's sex scene aired it caught the network and sponsors completely off guard. this is absolutely hilarious to me because of how totally tame the scene is. There's a few noises but other than that you never see anything but their hands and that side table.

this is tangentially related to the topic at hand but did any of you ever watch Dual! Parallel Trouble Universe? they aired it on TechTV way back in the day and it's basically What If Evangelion, But Tenchi?! i really love it when i was 14 and got the first couple of DVDs but I haven't seen it in years and years so i wonder if it holds up. It was definitely a ripoff of Eva.

Weird BIAS posted:I know it's a few days late but drat the waypoint podcast really lost the plot for me. It's been far more fun hearing Dan and Bianca on Panning the Stream. I listened to the latest one last night and I agree with you, they have some legitimate concerns about the show but you can just feel Patrick sitting there pouting through the audio. It did give me a craving for a prequel series to Eva that is just episode 21, but a full season of anime. Really give some time to flesh Yui and Naoko more, more travails of young Misato, Kaji and Ritsuko, and of course Futsuyuki and Gendo dancing around each other like some dogs that don’t quite trust each other yet.

questions i have: 1). Touji's mom is dead, right? is her soul in unit 03? 2). When Rei III "wakes up" in the hospital, she doesn't remember the battle where Rei II died, which makes sense because she wasn't there. So when Rei gets "rebooted", when are they restoring her from? I assume they're basically backing her up whenever she's in the LCL tank uploading her consciousness, so is she just as she was the last time she was in the tank, is there some sort of connection between the Reis that are given consciousness that carries her emotional development through a soul or something, or do they just reboot her personality from whatever base level they have, then tell her what's going on?

Spiritus Nox posted:Even if you don't like what they do with Ritsuko, framing the problem with her arc as "compulsory heterosexuality" feels kind of weird and inadequate to me given that her infatuation with Gendo is very explicitly a poisonous thing that has caused her profound harm. that was more of a joke line after talking about what they saw as the real problem, which is that both Ritsuko and Naoko suffer the same fate, both in the context of the show (killing Rei after being spurned/ignored by Gendo) and in the context of criticism of the show (both characters seem to jump straight from "normal-seeming if cold and logical woman jumping straight to child destruction because one lovely dude rejected them"). There's no real display of why either Dr. Akagi is attracted to Gendo, so the jealousy they display seems like a huge leap. This is mostly a result of the compression in episodes 18-24, which sort of dashes through stories and developments to get them out of the way because they just don't have the time to actually develop them. honestly the feminist criticism that came out of the Waypoint podcast was the most cogent criticism that any of them had. It was way better than the complaining that Patrick did about not wanting his lore dumps too bureaucratic.

She's now very cheerful and cares a lot for Shinji and even for Rei, something that would have been unbelievable 3 years ago. She still pilots Unit-02 which is later modified into the Evangelion Unit-02 Type II. I see.

2reachmu posted:Something on the more interesting/weird doujin side of EVA related ephemera. a few weeks ago someone on my twitter was tweeting about how there are no Big Robot fighting games and mentioned that a game where you can fight as all of the Eva units and (most of the) angels would be really cool, and I realized that I think we missed out on a late-era SNES sprite-based fighting game for Eva that would go along with all of the other anime fighters from that period, just really bad and only made with the first 13 episodes in mind so all the weird non-canonical arcade mode endings are hilarious in retrospect and they somehow came up with a moveset for Ramiel who is randomly the same size as all the Evas someone should make that in the same engine they used to make that Gundam game that got repurposed into a Power Rangers game, that's exactly what level of quality I'm talking about.

 all of the UNIQLO Evangelion t-shirts from this link are coming to the US sometime in June! They're not all great but I want at the very least the Kaworu and Unit-02 Beast Mode shirts. The ones pictured above are also pretty good. It kinda bums me out that Uniqlo does less of the patterns that take up the whole shirt than they used to; none of the shirts from this set are nearly as cool as the set they released literally a decade ago when 2.0 came out, but those are impossible to find and Uniqlo barely existed in the US in 2010! Look at these, any one of these would probably be better than the shirts we're getting this time around:  of course, you might be thinking "oh man, it's probably gonna be awkwardly timed considering the movie got delayed back to 'eh, sometime in the future'" which is true, but honestly 3.0+1.0 is probably finished and just waiting for the COVID outbreak to slow down before releasing, so it's not like they've got an entire line ready to go for a movie that got pushed back a whole year because the animation studio finishing had to close because of COVID.  lol
