So I've heard...I still kept crossing my fingers :) I'm glad to hear that they're doing something different, I was really hoping that would be the case instead of a pure "recycling" of the original. It's like how you watch particular movies or shows, and you know what's going to happen, but you keep on rooting for the protagonist to win when you know damn well they don't.

It'd be kinda awsm to see Shinji not be such a loser for example...even though that is a pivotal part of the story, it'll be neat to see the "what ifs" this presents...

Hardcore and hard to find. My 'hunt for Eva' while in Tokyo turned into a bit of a bust. My friend hurt his leg and didn't even want to see Eva, and dokool hurt his leg and couldn't help me find Eva. I have a hard enough time tracking down movies in limited release here, in a country where large cineplexes abound. Oh well, I'll catch it sooner or later...

See: the manga.

For instance, his relationship with Kaoru is <i>quite</i> different than in the animé, and partially because he isn't so starved for attention when they first meet this time around.

Kaworu in the manga is fucking awesome. His first appearance in that church is the most impacting scene in the whole series (so far... by the looks of it it'll be finished only in 3012a.d.)
And God spoke unto the Chicken, and He said: "Thou shalt crosseth the road", and the Chicken did cross the road, and there was much rejoicing.

I heard a rumor that the first movie is going to be coming to the states by February. Anyone know if there's any basis behind it?

Probably just rumors. No official statements have been slated.
This is the latest I could find myself.

Does anyone know how soon we can expect the first fansubbed camrip to show up?

And does this mean that the remastered boxset in the clear red plastic box will soon be obsolete?

"A Michael Bay Film".


When making Transformers, Mikey took a godawful script and did a reasonable job of de-suckifying it, even though such a task was comparable to treating a compound multiple fracture when all you have are some band-aids and aspirin. Granted, he was also responsible for turning the TFs themselves into walking piles of shit (since when has Optimus Prime had flames?!?), but seriously, would you prefer a film by Paul Anderson or Uwe Boll? Or perhaps one by George Lucas, featuring a computer-generated Pen-Pen?

*is distracted by your avatar*

Is that one of the Mythbusters guys Photoshopped into a Half-Life suit?



Anyway, I'd think that a few days before a movie is taken out of theaters in preparation for home releases, the security would have loosened up enough to make camripping possible. Or you could sneak one of those penny-sized CIA cameras into the theater.

Yes, yes it is. 8-)

I think there's a big cultural stigma against it. Of course that wouldn't stop any foreigners daring enough to risk deportation.

Apparently those ninja security guys like hurting people's legs.

I've seen a bootleg of the Eva Movie just yesterday. Not gonna spoil much but I felt like Gainax did A George Lucas on this one.

But from what I've seen on the next synopsis of Episode 2. The New Eva Pilot Character, will probably make the biggest difference from the series with a new spin.

Was It Good?
Maybe, if your a new fan, Hell yea take a look at it
If you were an old fan, It's the same hair but new hair dew. Some New Clips here and there.

P.S: Rei's Smile...that is all.
