What was wrong indeed. Maybe they have no qualms about kicking around this big dead horse just as long as they give it a new hat? The top logo is the worst-case scenario, so it'll probably be the one they use :/

It has been pointed out that the original NERV logo appears on the entry plug mechanism when shown with Eva-01 in the launch bay, at about 0:03 (don't know if it shows up well in the one on hosatchel, but it is clear in the WMV hosted on project5555.com - no relation to the MEP by that name which seems to have died).

I seriously can't wait for the new movies. The animation actually looks like it was done recently (haha well probably cause it was) :lol: but I never thought of how it would look if the animation was good. What really bugs me though is the fact that Asuka doesn't come until the second movie. :(

I can only imagine it now. When the official trailer of the finished Live Action Eva movie comes out, after the title it says:

"A Michael Bay Film".

The only thing from NGE I'd watch now religiously would probably be that hentai doujin episode floatin' around... [you didn't read that just now]

But unless they do the series where there's a real beneficial closure of some sort [that didn't involve naked Rei's, sadly] then maybe I'm game... maybe

I don't think it was meant to be funny, but I laughed my liver out with that episode. Every time Gendo smiled I'd nearly wet myself. Plus, the dialogue is even more ridiculous than you'd expect from a hentai doujin based off a militaristic mecha series.

I wonder how long it'll take for US distribution?

I mean, the temptation of there possibly being a leaked cam video somewhere eventually...Aaaauuuhhhh.

Here's some comments by a person who saw the first one:

Spoilers wrote:Love or hate the ending, anyway, there is no doubting the effect this 26 ep TV series, now over 10 years old, has had on anime since. Gainax, the studio responsible, know this all too well themselves – the initial poster for the new movies makes the bold statement “in the last 12 years there has been no anime as new as Evangelion was.” Debating that is a point for another time. The issue here is that they have decided to come back to the cash cow and turn out four new movies, to be released in three sittings. However, rather than take the recent Gundam Zeta route of mixing TV animation with new footage they have used the old storyboards to totally redraw everything digitally. As the films progress they will move further and further away from the original material, eventually culminating in an all new ending – one which we are assured everyone will be able to make sense of.

This first movie takes the content of only the first 6 episodes of the TV series, dealing with the attacks of Angels 4, 5 and 6. It basically takes those battles with all the material around them condensed and smoothed together, then pumped up on steroids. The TV series looked fantastic 10 years ago, but as soon as the first frames hit the screen you know this is a movie. The background are either beautiful, detailed hand drawings or smoothly integrated CG. The movement is as fluid as you would expect from movie quality, and the characters all look pretty much identical to the TV series (something the trailers made me wonder about, and also something they totally didn’t bother with in Zeta.) Animation and visual wise, it was fantastic, with just the right balance between CG and hand-drawn material.

Content starts of a little slower if you know the TV well, because it covers the same ground mainly with omissions rather than changes for the first half. A scattering of low level changes include the Eva’s arm no longer moving to protect Shinji from falling debris that now never falls; no mention of the Dead Sea Scrolls (thank god) but rather everything is running according to a schedule Seele has created; Gendo and Fuyutsuki manipulating Shinji into visiting Ayanami’s apartment rather than him simply dropping off homework, and all of the Eva’s weapons having been redesigned along with a different paint job for Unit 0.

However, as things move into the Yashima operation the changes start to become bigger and more frequent. The 6th Angel looks the same initially but has undergone some big changes in appearance when it attacks, and the entire scene and how it plays it out is significantly beefed up from the end of another “Angel of the Week” TV show to something more fitting the climax of a movie.

There are also two massive changes, both of which are huge spoilers and the most fun anyone who knows the series well will have with the movie, so I won’t detail them here. I will say that both simultaneously introduce elements that were kept hidden until much later in the series as well as greatly changing how these elements are going to work in the story.
