anyone seen this?
was in cinema last night - what a shit.
imo it looks more expensive in a bad way, they tried to make everything more lush... but 3d battles really don't help the watered down, blandly emotionalized non-existing plot. It felt like some remix of everything you've seen before in NGE minus the psychological tension, plus lots of superfluous effects and random added "stuff" (it literally felt like that), like a new character that really introduced, more tits from 14yr olds, the kids also got a bit different "character traits", but these really suck.
etc.
i am disappoint.

i liked the first one - it had nice pacing, time to develop the plot. Also the graphic overhaul and especially the 3d was put to good use (the pyramid angel that was shape-shifting).
this one is connected to the original series more loosely, which could have been good if if they had fleshed out certain characters' darker aspects, but they did not. It kind of tries to be more accessible, making the kids more human and nicer, which imo doesn't fit in at all.

Don't they introduce another Child (the Sixth) in this one, too?
larn: the series is worth another shot. It's not until around ep 12 things start to get interesting, and it won't take long before you get hooked. Evangelion's famous for introducing another take on the whole mecha-genre (and psycho-dramas). Utena followed in its wake, etc...

mari makinami - hence my question in the above post.
i'm actually quite excited - like the first part a lot.
i'm a huge fan of evangelion and i'm curious about the outcome. there was so much fuss with the different endings and cuts that i hope that hideaki anno will finally be able to show what he wanted to show.

Mari, the Sixth, is absolutely random, for the pedos to enjoy. The film starts out with her battling an angel. Then she appears sometimes out of nowhere throughout the film. No hints whatsoever of why and how and what connection she has to anyone else except she's from the US branch of Nerv and likes peoples' smell, wow.
Do you remember how Asuka was introduced in the series with the battle on sea? This was redone like that: angel arrives on land, "wtf the evas aren't ready", cut, asuka drops from sky with her eva, fights angel, done.
note that the statements above are opinion. The theatre was filled with fans, generally people in the audience seemed to enjoy it so maybe you might too.

You must've finished your reply before I'd finished mine, because I didn't see your question.
Anyhow, I'm a great fan, as well. Apparantly the fourth film will be something entirely new. I'd recommend Shiki-Jitsu if you're interested in his live-action works.
I enjoyed the first film, and it's exciting that EVA's back. Only time will tell what Hideaki Anno has been planning for the series for so long.

So what's Mari's psychological problem, then?
Everyone's a mess in Evangelion. ;D

that's the thing actually - everyone is less fucked up, and it blows.
Mari doesn't seem to have any problem.
want spoilers?
shinj starts cooking, makes lunch for both asuka and rei, to be nice to them. asuka starts of bitchy, but very soon realizes that talking to people is good, she can't do everything by herself and even says "thank you" to rei.
rei is flattered by shinj being nice, tells asuka she feels warm and fuzzy when he's around, and wants to prepare a party for everyone, including shinji's father.
it's that bland.
oh, oh the best is
*massive spoiler* both rei and asuka cut themselves emo style but it's only being hinted at. when they see each others band-aid is when asuka says thanks to rei. *end massive spoiler*

Fingers crossed then, it'll show up in the cinemas here in sweden, as well. They only showed Miyazaki's Ponyo at one place if you wanted to see it in japanese. Swedish dubs are f-ing awkward, it makes you cringe (they use the same voices over and over).

I finished watching the series a couple of days ago. it was a waste of time in my opinion. the ending...wtf?
very overrated in my opinion
samurai champloo and samurai x are still my favorite series.
haven't seen really good mecha series.

i know that after such a disapointment there is rather no way to convince you, but you seriously should check the movies as well. end of evangelion shows an alternative ending which might suit you more. the ending of the series is in fact, bollocks.

Yeah, I think you've got NGE confused with Death Note, friend.

I guess death note is pretty cool too..
I wish i was good at japanese so that i could understand anime better, i can't stand cheesy dubbing and sometimes they use white sub titles which are hard to read, as anime tends to be very bright in color the text is sort of hidden

5 years ago maybe. now even speedsubs are very decent and you can change the colour and size of your subs.
