I guess the implication being he didn't have anyone he loved or maybe his fetish was being terrified and humiliated by multiple Rei clones and he actually did get his dream come true. If I remember correctly, this was supposed to be symbolic of Aoba being a nihilist (well, nihilist might be a poor translation or something) and not having anyone to connect with. Or at least, that's what Anno said

I think Amazon cancelled my preorder because they had no idea when it was going to be out and removed the listing.

RZApublican posted:Right Stuf lists 3.33 as "Note: This item's release has been delayed to accommodate the theatrical run of the film.". That was what happened. A year ago. They delayed it for a limited theatrical release. Then it eventually comes out that they apparently they up the dub in such a way that Gainax made them redo it so we've been waiting a whole year for that. I also pre-ordered the Blu-ray expecting it to be out by March of 2014. Still waiting for an actual release date to be announced.

So this might be an utterly retarded thinking-too-much question, but here goes. In End of Evangelion, there's several shots of playground swings: one during the scene where Shinji's building a sandcastle, one right after the ex-girlfriend hell/right before the real world segment, and one during the real world segment. Since everything in EoE is apparently painfully symbolic, what do the swings represent?

A Pinball Wizard posted:So this might be an utterly retarded thinking-too-much question, but here goes. There's probably a half-dozen answers, depending on your reading of the rest of the work. My own interpretation of it is that it's a representation of loneliness or a loss of innocence, which is consonant with the scenes that it appears in. It really brings to mind a painful childhood memory, like you're left all alone in the playground as everyone else leaves to have fun without you.

The swing represents the massive monster dong Shinji hides behind his insecurities. Or something.

I thought it was a classic cliché that if your anime char has a scene with a swing set in his backstory, he had a lovely childhood?

It's also reminiscent of time passing (for example, the time it took Shinji to build the sandcastle) and of being static. A swing goes forwards and goes backwards but never goes anywhere or advances in any way - like Shinji, who is pretty constantly in a dance of one step forwards, one step backwards throughout much of the series. A Pinball Wizard posted:So this might be an utterly retarded thinking-too-much question, but here goes. and, if i remember right, the hills behind the swingset look like breasts and the swingset and two other objects look kind of phallic beneath them

A Pinball Wizard posted:So this might be an utterly retarded thinking-too-much question, but here goes. Basically the scene is Shinjis plight in a nut shell. The behaviour of building the sand castle (piloting Eva) allows him to be with others and be happy and have meaning and validation. When the other people leave and he is left alone, he keeps building the sandcastle (piloting EVA) as its the only behaviour he knows to be happy, be accepted and validated(so he thinks). But its not working anymore and Shinji hates it (when he destroys the sand castle when he is all alone), but its the only way he knows so he keeps doing it over and over (why he builds it again). He cries and lets it happen because he believes that its how life is, that he has no other choice but to build the sand castle. The swing I think is a pendulum noting the passing of time or some poo poo. (that scene is oozes subtext and symbolism). TLDR: Its about Shinji making bad life choices because he thinks he has too.

Yeah, it's not the only pendulum in the film -- there's also that giant fucker in the Minister's office, which seems to have no discernible purpose beyond mauling unwary secretaries. I've never understood what the gently caress that was about, but I assume there's some sort of connection?

I've never understood what the gently caress that was about, but I assume there's some sort of connection? There was a lot sub text and imagery that was shoved into EoE with each piece meaning something about something. I could try guess about every piece but who knows what was intended at the end of the day. Mostly its the instrumentality scenes that interest me the most, both in the Original series and EoE. I know I joke about the show, especially EoE (seriously, it had a giant space vagina eat the main character... seriously guys this happened, it is a thing), but it went balls to the wall-all in on what it wanted to do (espcially EoE) and it still impresses me as the only show out there that went to so much obtuse mind-fuckery to get its message across (thats even if there is a message and I am not just indulging in transferance).

So guess who got picked to direct the new Toho Godzilla movie? http://variety.com/2015/film/asia/hideaki-anno-and-shinji-higuchi-to-direct-tohos-godzilla-2016-1201464017/ Probably explains why Rebuild 4 is taking so long, but if that's the reason I can't honestly complain.

Dred Cosmonaut posted:You're a loving moron Late on this but: no u Sorry to offend the delicate sensibilities but I think the first new movie, especially, is close enough and improved enough that I'd suggest a new person start there. Not like I'm barring anyone from watching the series if they like it a lot, as I already mentioned. (I've got the dvds to lend them even). Edit: I'm assuming it's clear that when I talk about "new people" it's probably not the type of people who are already watching hours upon hours of VHS era anime. That kind of person should already have watched Eva. Intel&Sebastian fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Apr 1, 2015 |
