[TheOnly]

WOOT! WOOT! CALIFORNIA LOOOOVE!!

Ummm,what theaters are they showing the movie?

[Police Girl]

I don't know, its too early to say, it'll probably be a good month or two before they say what theaters it'll play at.

KEep me updated

[lizardcommando]

Well, that's good and all regarding the American release of 2.0, but what about 3.0 (at least for the Japanese release)? Has there been any new news on that yet?

[Police Girl]

It was rumored to come out this Summer, thats clearly been proven wrong. Other than that, no idea.

Probably Next Year.

[Romantic Fool]

I expect it around 2012 or late 2011 to be honest.

[TheOnly]

I blame this is why it never came out during summer.

That was the rumor...
Also, Apparently Gainax and Studio Khara are having some sort of issue, since Anno is pissed at Gainax for doing something they shouldn't have. and is trying to split them up.


Heres the News article for this rumor:

[lizardcommando]

Shiiiiit... well I guess that explains everything. I wanted to see more Big Boss Asuka and Mari action too...

[SUIKA]

So I watched it, because it's screening at our town, and;

[spoiler]The plot is basically; "Rei Ayanami wants to have a dinner with her friends. Can she pull it off?"

Or at least that's what I would've liked. Anyway. MARI! Oh my god. A pilot that doesn't seem to be plagued with horrible personality problems, enjoys her job, and is actually freakin' good at it. It's a shame she wasn't around more to show the others what real pilots can do. That being said, there was nothing wrong with her role in regards to the other pilots. I thoroughly enjoyed her presence. The only thing that could possibly make her better is if she was given an english accent in the dub.  

Other highlights for me included;

-Yeah. Rei wants to have dinner with her friends. Tehe. And,
-That sequence where Gendou was reminded of Yui when Rei asked him.
-Every fight scene,
-Especially that first one when Mt. Fuji was briefly in the background. w00t Japan.
-The new angels, like the first one, were cool.
-The music,
-Like the track used when they were showing those few shots of 'normal life' in Tokyo-3.
-The scene where the Dummy Plug system kills Unit-03. I didn't think it would be pulled off with that music over the top of it, but I was wrong. It was very moving, whilst still being disturbing, like the original.
-The fact that the climax of the story was basically Shinji 'saving' Rei like that. Awesome.
-Oh, and the bit where they went to the artificial ocean.

So yeah. Loved it! And I'm looking forward to being able to see it several more times with other people.[/spoiler]

Anybody here also registered at the Funimation Forums?

If so, can you please tell the morons in the Evangelion 2.22 Topic that Mari is NOT a gag character/Mary Sue? (Durr, they think her name is Mary.  )

It's pretty easy to see how they'd get that impression though. Think I read somewhere that Mari is like, one of the few characters not actually based on Anno's psyche, or something, if they'd ever need to back up their claim.

Oh, before I forget about this thread again...

US Release Date of 2.22: 3/29/11.

Posted on: January 09, 2011, 11:07:03 PMAlright, now that 2.22 is out in the US, what are your thoughts on it? I personally loved the dub.

(I know its not due till tomorrow, but I already got it almost two weeks ago.)

[Bueno Excelente]

I frankly have a theory on Evangelion.

It's a story about Shinji, who is a complete and total pussy. He's gotta save the world. But as pussies don't save the world, he just fucks up things more and more. And history repeats itself, Groundhog Day-style, until he gets the balls to save the world properly.

In Rebuild, he's finally getting those balls. Not only that, but he's facing his fate like a man. After watching Eva for a big while all these years since it came out, and all the times I've watched it, got a bad taste in my mouth because of the ending, seeing the story rebuild itself into what I hope to be a good ending makes me happier than I could ever imagine.

(that, and from Kaworu's reaction, he seems to be aware of the whole thing. Heck, the "this time" thing makes me think he's directly aware of how many times the Eva story has been told)

[The Drunken Dishwasher]

Yeah, aside from small things that EoE has, it's possible that it could be the 'reset' scenario.

Just a few more days till my BD copy of 2.22 comes in the mail<3, look forward to the dub.  Dub's damn rock solid in 1.0~

[Police Girl]

Quickening Update!?

Must be from the TV showing of Eva 2.0.

Link.

[Phi]

I see Asuka is looking like a badass again. Nice.

Showed virtually nothing, but i'm really hyped nonetheless. If only the TV series shared the same quality as the movies.

[megaman24681012]

Actually, the video has a translation that hints at some big plot twist.

to quote: "Shinji Ikari awakens; beside stands a mysterious boy; then, a new world awaits him."

Also. HOOOOOLLLLLLYYYYYYY SSSHHHHHHIIIIIIIII- uhh, -take.

My brain just exploded from how awsome that clip was. I mean, Captain Sparrow Asuka ripping off her helmet in a fit of rage when trying to attack something while in a flight variation of Unit 02 while in F**KING SPACE!!!!

though; finally!! An update on the third movie

They're probably referring to Kaworu.

[Gaia]

while in F**KING SPACE!!!!

It must've taken place during the moment when the planet turned blood red if I remember correctly. I need to re-watch the series/movies again.

[Police Girl]

Worth an Update.



3.0 has its international title now:

You can (not) Redo

[Karai]

Just to clarify:
You Can (Not) Redo - fall 2012
? - 2013

For the whole time, I was thinking that Q and ? will be released together. Oh, whatever. We have release dates, a title, and a confirmation of 2 separate movies instead of 1 longer final. That's all I need.

That was the original plan, I guess they decided it was better if we got two full length films to better tell the story. I'm perfectly fine with that.
