New movies are pretty damn good. Weirdest part is they might have some ties to the original series as they go on.

>>39811
OH FUCK WHAT

I saw the first one in theatre, it was pretty great. Like >>39809 said it's really unclear if and how it fits into the animu canon. I don't know if it was just the compressed timespan but I also thought Shinji was much less annoying and I actualy FUCK YEAH'd at the HUGE ASS FUCKING SNIPER RIFLE scene. End was pretty :3 too.

Still can't beat RETAKE!

>>39811
Evangelion, Endless 8 edition.

>>39816

At this point, it's best to consider the Rebuild of Evangelion as an alternate continuity. Especially after you see Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance. After a certain point, shit goes completely off the rails from the original show; there's even an all-new EVA pilot.

>>39820

As much as I like the new Rebuild films, this is pretty much the truth.

  >>39820
Yeah, but what can?

Anybody know which is the boxset what contained the series + EoE? Reading Shinji&WH40K has been making me nostalgic for it. (Even though I STILL haven't watched EoE in b4 gigapoke slowgann)

Also lookit what I found.

>>39830
I get the feeling it's gonna have some weird link to the original canon though, as >>39811 pointed out. It might be some RE-TAKE-ish thing, like an alternate timeline with links to the original. All I know is that I'm looking forward to the ending greatly.

>>39833
So far, none of them, at least in the U.S. There's been a two-pack release of Death & Rebirth with EoE, but that's about it.

I'm waiting for them to release the remastered EoE over here, myself. When that'll be, I have no idea.

>>39835
Really? Dang. Oh well.

>>39835

Manga Entertainment lost the rights to the original Eva movies, and ADV (who held the rights to the series) is defunct now, so the only chance for a full-on Evangelion boxset now is for Funimation to somehow get their hands on the rights to the series and the original movies.

>>Yeah, but what can?
An animated version *of* RE-TAKE?

>>39892
What- I- STOP MAKING ME WANT THINGS THAT ARE CANNOT HAVE

>>39892
>>39894

RE-TAKE wasn't that great, guys.

I mean, it was good, but it was good in a "this fanfiction is good" sort of way: It may be written well, but it's still a fanfiction.

Also, I didn't like the Asuka/Shinji romance.

I feel like shipping Evangelion characters is sort of missing the point.

>>39906
>Also, I didn't like the Asuka/Shinji romance.
Are you saying Shinji/Rei is better? You motherfucker.

>>39909

No, I'm saying that none of them should be shipped. At all.

They're all too fucked up to love. That's why all attempts at a relationship in the show go south.

I guess that wouldn't stop them from actually TRYING, but I would not expect any of them to ever be happy. Let's face it, the cast really did need 3rd Impact. Of course, I'm pretty sure Shinji and Asuka will be the only people on Earth for a long, long time.

>>39811
Is that image implying the implication i think it's implying?

>>39910
Bitches don't know bout my son's bright future.

>>39910
That's kind of the point of fanfiction, dude.

  eh

  Call me weird but I always found this strangely heartwarming

>>39961
>>39962
Bro, you've posted the same vid twice.

>>39910
But that's completely against Eva's whole message. I've always seen it as despite how messed-up, how completely fucked in the head you are, there's always a chance for redemption. See >>39961

Unless you're talking about during the series. Then I totally agree with you.

>>39961

Pretentious, PHI 1000 bullshit wrapped up in a scarce amount of music.

  >>39974
Shit my bad

>>39985
And see also, this quote from Yui in EoE:

>All living things have the ability to return to their original form... and the heart to go on living. Anywhere can be heaven as long as you have the will to live. After all, you're alive...and you can find the chance to achieve happiness anywhere.

  Eva videos? Here's my favorite.

WUH WUH WUH WUH WUH

  I love having excuses to post this.

  A classic.

>>39833
HOLY SHIT EPISODE 4

>>40035
I know right? Though I preferred episodes 6 and 9 myself.

>>39833
I forgot all about these guys, last one I saw was the episode about Jet Alone. Fuck me they're awesome.

>>40065
Actually, turns out I'd already seen episode 8 and forgotten it aside of
>there's your mind screw
but oh well.

Also in Evangelion Abridged:

In episode 9, Shinji apparently likes the Baccano soundtrack. Guess he's not a COMPLETE headcase.

>>40035
>Episode 4 huh? Let's check it out.
>HOLY FUCKING TITS WHAT AM I SEEING?
I have the immense urge to shop together a movie poster for "Shinji Goes on a Beer Run."

>>39833
>Even though I STILL haven't watched EoE in b4 gigapoke slowgann

I was in pretty much the same boat. I watched the series when it was on Adult Swim in (when was that?) then didn't see End until last year (and after I'd had pretty much every part of it spoiled).

RIGHT FOOT RIGHT STOMP

LEFT FOOT LEFT STOMP

NGE Abridged is officially an awesome series.

Well, there's like 12 different Abridged series for Eva, but this is the only funny one this is the only one that uses footage from Rebuild that I found.

By the way, how would you guys be up for watching EoE on easter? The reason I haven't watched it is that it really feels like something you should watch with friends. We were supposed to do it on Christmas 2008 on tvwhoring before it died but I missed it.

>>40090
That would be the most fucked up Easter I've ever had.

Which is to say, yes. If I'm not planning on doing something with my family that day, that is.

>>40069
DO IT FAGGOT

Is rebuild 2 out in proper quality?

>>40141
>Rebuild 2
>out
AHAHAHA

>>40142
A simple no would suffice

Um, well, you know, I do happen to have a subbed camrip of 2.0 that we could watch.

>>40258
>Camrip
I don't think anyone here is THAT desperate.

>>40259
I didn't think the quality was that bad. I dunno, it's up to you guys.

>>40261
I'm staying clean of 2.0 until the dub comes out.

>>40291
Ditto. I waited for the first one, I can wait for the second.

>>40028
Holy crap I cannot stop listening to this. It's like some mixed crack, heroine, and LSD and injected it right into my ears.

So, anyone up for it tomorrow?

>>40605
Plans to visit grandma have been canceled due cold, so probably.

>>40605
What time would it start?

>>40608
I'm guessing around 6pm est-ish. Don't want to go on too late.

(And providing I can get the livestream procaster thing working properly. I tried it today and it seemed to work but still)

>>40306

It's definitely one of the best mashups of all time. it took two great songs, and combined them in such a way that each covered the holes in the other's musical pattern that you didn't even realize were there until you heard them fixed.

>>40618
So are we still on? And if so where's your Livestream?

>>40642
Yeah, in 2 hours or so.

http://www.livestream.com/thebattlepike

Starting soon, if anyone wants to come.

Yay, that was fun. Even if only 3 people showed up.

Let's do it again sometime.

>>40662
Yeah well as I said you needed the main event. It was easter, give them a break, try again and I'm sure it'll go better next time.

Can someone give me the short version of what each of the movies are? I've only watched the full series and have been meaning to watch the movies but I always forget which ones are which. Though I always remember End of Evangelion is apparently the alternate ending that was made for people who didn't like the original.

>>41012
End of Evangelion is what was happening in the physical world around the time of Instrumentality
Episodes 25 and 26 are what was going on in the minds of the characters during Instrumentality.
Death and Rebirth is a clipshow of the series and the first 30 or so minutes of End.
Rebuilds 1.0 and 2.0 are retellings? of the series in SHINY NEW ANIMATION. Only 1.0 has been released and dubbed, for 2.0 there's only a camrip.

>>41029
So is Death and Rebirth basically pointless if I've seen the series and plan to watch End of Evangelion?

>>41031
as a person who has seen it? Yes.

Okay, so I just finished End of Evangelion. Was this supposed to explain or give more detail about the series or just be another big mind-fuck with a "you think about how it ended" ending? Because if it was the former then I think I missed probably everything.

>>41642
General consensus on Evangelion is "if you think you got it, you clearly missed something."

>>41643
It's confusing but explainable. See: evageeks

>>41642

Honestly I think Evangelion is something that should be interpreted differently by each person.

>>41644

The part the eva geeks never mention is that the more you explain it, the more idiotic it sounds. Eva is not a well-plotted show.

>>39811
Don't even worry about it :3

  bumping because apparently people don't realize we already have an EVA thread.

So I just finished watching through Rebuild 2.0 and I gotta say... that may have been one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. I honestly don't think I can ever go back to the old series after seeing that.

Has there been any news on 3.0 yet? I've heard it will be called You Can (Not) Survive which... really undoes the hopeful feeling provided in 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone...
I still maintain high hopes that, even though I like this incarnation of them, Shinji and Rei will be stuck in Unit 01 until the climax, and the film instead focuses on the interactions between characters like Mari, Kaworu, and Touji, and maybe them fighting revised versions of the Angels that didn't show up in 2.0
Because honestly? The last three angels seemed to be designed solely to make sure that the three children were nice and fucked up for the finale, and nothing else. I mean Arael's only function seemed to be to make sure Asuka is nice and insane, Zeruel already stole Armisael's whole gimmick, and I have no idea what Kaworu's goals are this time around.

>>42364
I sort of felt the same way.

That scene at the end between Rei and Shinji was fantastic.

At DOSE RUNNING EVAS

>>42368
I haven't heard anything yet, but that is totally what I called my last Adeptus Evangelion campaign.

I do actually hope to see more of Mari, I was wary about her at first but I ended up finding her to be a fairly likable character.

Is there a non cam torrent of 2.0 yet?

And I know I kinda missed the whole thread but so far the movies seem to be trying to give all the frustrated fans what they wanted in the first place, while still keeping what was good about the original. Basically, alot less depressing, but I'll have to see how it ends before I really make that judgment

There isn't, but apparently it'll get released in japan on DVD within the next month or so. So we shouldn't have to wait too much longer.

>>42403
Yeah, everyone's so much... saner. It's great.

torrent's out

>>43003

What.

>>42449
Honestly, I think I like the original series + EoE better.
If only for being what was originally created. If it wasn't for all the characters' craziness and the hopeless bad end the show wouldn't have been nearly as good.

Pen-Pen gets ALL the bitches.

Assload of fanservice.

I just watched 1.11 and 2.22.

The former was just episodes of the show pasted together and about 15 seconds of new content.

The latter was pretty good.

So is that little bit after the credits still all we have of 3.0?
I just downloaded a better translation of 2.22 and I'm sort of obsessing :/

>>43837
Yes. But fortunately it's supposed to be coming out later this year.

Also spoiler tags? It's been out for a while so I'm not sure.

>>41646
It's like Victorian Era literature: there's enough weird, unresolved, and erronious stuff there that most people can just say Everyone is Jesus In Purgatory and take it as they want.

Personally, I see it as a postmodernist deconstruction of the Super Robot genre: a fucked up 90's Gundam by way of Ideon and Gainax's eternal otakudom. Given the way Anno allegedly rides Tomino's nuts, it makes about as much sense as anything else. Hell, he's even making shiny new condensed movie versions, like what they did to Gundam and Zeta.

oh god what

>>43859

Oh god, I just bricked a shit.

>>43859
I don't see shit.

>>43862

hahaohgod

Is she looking at herself?

>>43863
Oh jesus my pants

>>43862

>>43456
I lol'd

GUNMEN EVAS ARE NOTHING

WHY WILL THIS "HERP REBUILD IS A SEQUEL DERP" BULLSHIT STOP?

>>44241
Never.

My shitty internet makes image dumps hard.

>>44250 >>44249
What's all this then?

>>44255
There was an Eva Yu-rei thread on /a/ awhile ago. I tried to dump what I grabbed from that thread here, but my internet is just too shitty. Maybe I'll put up the rest from another connection.

So Eva was a mediocre series and end was a merely "okay" movie, but I've got a fair bit of nostalgia for both so I downloaded and watched the two Rebuild movies today.

>Rebuild 1
>Wow this is just a blantant rehash with some shinier fights and Kaworu.
>Rebuild 2
>HOLY SHIT, THEY'RE DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE, SEEING THE INVISIBLE
>OH GOD, THIRD IMPACT WITH RAGE SHINJI HOLY FUCKING SHIT WE'RE DOOMED
>FFFFFFFFFFFFF KAWORU
Expectations exceeded.

Oh eçyeah! SOme days ago FAKKU updated a set of non-h doujins called "Epilogue of Evangelion", and it's kinda interesting.

Sup Rei, why are you making a reaction face

>>44290
I felt so happy after reading these,,,

>>44241
When and if the theory is proven wrong by the last Rebuild

I rediscovered this image and it's a lot funnier to me now that I've watched the series.

>>44473
I like girls with creepy smiles. :)

Gotta admit it, when instead of begging and crying for his Eva to move, Shinji was FUCK THIS SHIT I GOTTA SAVE MY REI GODDAMN, a rather loud "fuck yeah" escaped from my lips.

>>44493
More like the universe is set on easy modo so things aren't as difficult for this shinji

>>44494
Well Shinji IS less of a pussy either way.

Seriously, since when was Eva so enjoyable to watch? The old series was a piece of SHIT.

Heard the manga was pretty good though.

>>44497
Manga is a piece of shit and Sadamoto is a hack with no dedicaition

I love how it feels like a happy ending for Shinji until you realize how much he's given up on just about everything.

>>44494
Well it is set in Intrumentality
>>44497
Nice opinion, bro.

I've watched and re-watched Evangelion more times than any series cept maybe Outlaw Star. Just because it's not overly joyful doesn't make it a piece of shit. If it was such a piece of shit do you think they would have made anything BUT the series?

>>44519
My complaint is not that it isn't happy, it's that the drama felt forced and the character never felt human. Berserk is a much better manga that was also more depressing. Same with all the Urasawa works (especially Pluto).

Also: SHITTY THINGS NEVER GET POPULAR AMIRITE?

>>44494
>Easy mode
Yeah, i don't think so. Everyone's just a little less fucked up. The angels are way more dangerous this time.

>>44519

Eva is a piece of shit wrapped in a ton of issues. The Japanese psyche latched right onto those issues because the whole fucking country was basically going through depression on a nation-wide scale.

>>44531
They still sort of are but it isn’t as bad as their second fall from grace they had in the 90s, or as I think they called it the Lost Decade, a seemingly destined economic and technological dominance of the world in the mid 80s crashing and burning into a deflation they still haven’t fully recovered from and a lot of sleazy business deals that would make banks and housing department of America blush.

>>44536

Yeah they're still sorta feeling shitty but nothing compared with how they were back when Eva was released.
