Seriously the only reason I included the screenshot is to show that the price got as low as $20 over time and that it predates Amazon collecting tax. That and the sheer absurdity of me having this order up for almost two and a half years. I really am going to miss having it sitting there.

I know, right? It was kind of comforting just having it there, much like the moon hangs over us in the night sky. Are we getting a DVD with the blu-ray too? I just noticed that the Amazon page describes the blu-ray as "Multi-Format" now.

Multi-format just means they formatted the disc several times before packing it up.

Oh god it's here. The packaging is pretty swank and it comes with that artbook thing they released with it in Japan that has all the concept art, character models, etc. Is the label for the movie itself supposed to be "Evangelion_3_33" when put in my PS3, though? That seems a little odd.

Just would have expected it to be Evangelion 3.33, rather than the underscored spaces like an old DOS file. Pretty sure 1.11 and 2.22 didn't have their names like that, but I'll have to check later and see if that's the case. The only issue I've seen regarding the dub script so far is that the audio mixing is, in general, very quiet. I've had to crank the volume on my TV to roughly twice normal volume just to hear things decently and a few things are still annoyingly quiet. Edit: Went back and checked. 1.11 and 2.22 have full, proper movie title labels. Also they seem to have really cheaped out on extras. No US cast commentary like 1 and 2, just a shitload of trailers. 1 Japanese and 1 English audio track, two subtitle tracks (looks like the original theatrical subtitles and the revamped home release ones?) and nothing else. Weird. Zebulon fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Feb 2, 2016 |

I thought only the second movie had a cast commentary (That didn't even last the entire film). Anyways I finally have my 3.33 blu-ray! God is in his heaven, and all is right in the world. I love all of you and wish you all good luck for all of your future endeavors.

Watched it. The subtitle track is fine, dunno what that delay was really all about. There are two subtitle options, though (home video and theatrical). I watched the default home video one. Still a pretty trippy film with a lot of great visuals. Shame it's more of a middle story with more to go and no end in sight (still!). I also wish the music was louder because the soundtrack by itself is crazy good. Read the lyrics for those operatic songs, they're bananas with religious symbolism and poo poo.

Just finished watching the movie again. Still loving the hell out of it. Question about the Home Video Subs- did I miss it or, do they never use some form of the term "King of the Lilin" that the fansubs were using back in the day?

I also received my copy of 3.33. The art book is fairly cool. Haven't watched it again, waiting to find some good time to watch all the series Blu Rays and movies again.

So I've had the Evangelion 3.33 Blu Ray on pre order from Amazon for over two years. On February 2nd it finally arrived and I watched it last night. Major spoilers from here on: Utterly Awful. I was a fan of the first two Rebuild movies. 1.11 featured some awesome military hardware action and 2.22 was very emotional with some climactic giant robot fights. I was moved to tears by Asuka getting mauled to death by the Angel possessed Unit 01, and the scene where the purple girl turned her Eva into beast mode? *Italian chef air kiss* Mwah, perfection. 3.33 or "Q" on the other hand, was crap from the get go. The battles were confusing and disjointed, the angel (or "nemesis," I guess) designs were lackluster and stupid. Shinji, who finally grew a pair of balls at the end of 2.22 went back to being an even worse bitchboi than when he started the series. Other Highlights: The stupid flying eagle battleship was an ugly mishmash of CGI crap that looks like nothing that ever belonged in Evangelion. "The Curse of the Evas" is that whoever pilots it is trapped in the body of a sixteen year old forever. Ohhh no what a tragedy that just so happens to rev up the Japanese audience's engine like crazy. The Gay angel at first being like "oh we should get the spears" and Shinji's like "okay" right off the bat, because for some reason he trusts the creepy pale kid implicitly, and then when the gay angel is like "oh we shouldn't get the spears I'm serious" Shinji is like "lol I'm gonna get them anyway." Then everything goes to poo poo and Shinji's like "is this my fault??" When I watched the finale of the TV series and later "End of Evangelion" it was all confusing and postmodern, but I got the impression I just wasn't smart enough to parse all the symbolism. With 3.33 on the other hand, I was like "this is the stupidest poo poo." Applewhite fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Feb 4, 2016 |

I eventually gave up and turned on the subtitles, not that they were much help considering how far they diverged from the dub.

It's not "the curse of the Evas", it's "the curse of Eva". Asuka being a perma-adolescent is some metacommentary poo poo.

Shinji is a hosed-up kid in a hosed-up situation with people abusing him constantly and most of his connections to the world cut off. Putting him in control of a machine with godlike power should not be a great heroic moment nor should it be viewed as kickass or him becoming 'tolerable." Likewise the end goal for Shinji shouldn't be becoming a Gurren-Lagann character because that doesn't make sense for who he is and even if Eva 3.0+1.0 ends with him piloting an Evangelion for positive reasons it probably won't be with hot-blooded screaming and kicking reason to the curb. I admit I take no small amount of delight in 3.0 because I really disliked the ending of 2.0 because of these specific reasons and I was glad 3.0 agreed with me on it.

I will say, I will retroactively like 3.0 a lot less Rebuild ends on the same kind of downer note as EOE did. We've seen Shinji collapse into depression and bitterness before, it'd be nice to see a version of events that has him coming to a positive epiphany for a change. ...Well, a version of events that includes a positive epiphany AND a decent budget, anyway.

I'm not asking for him to become a brave Gurren-Lagann type hero. I get it that's not in the theme of Evangelion, but you don't have to go full Kamina to demonstrate at least a modicum of self-respect. Shinji's "oh I'm gonna get the spears against the advice of my only friend in the world OH NO THE SPEARS WERE EVIL EXACTLY LIKE HE SAID, WHY MEEEEE?" is a perfect example of just what a contemptible shitheel he is. I'd call him "pathetic" but that would require the character to actually generate some pathos. Zas posted:trust me on this, you really don't Please explain. I'm open to being convinced otherwise.

He awoke to a horrifying traumatic experience where he realized a tremendous fuckup had happened and he lost almost everything meaningful to him. He's desperate to make up for that mistake and a carrot was dangled in front of him that he could make up that mistake. Once it was in front of him and he'd already gone that far he was absolutely desperate to do anything. You're supposed to think he's pathetic and sad because he is. The title of the film is literally You can (not) Redo and that is what Shinji discovers. He can't undo his mistake no matter how badly he wants to or no matter how much he intended not to. It's an extremely low point for the character but it is supposed to be.

I was also disappointed by 3.0. I'm all for the plot going in a new direction but they could have continued it from when Kaworu shafted Shinji from behind. 4.0 better be a flashback episode.

I don't particular mind that Shinji reaches seemingly new lows after a his supposed high at the end of 2.22, bringing him down a peg or two and people hating him for it all is just fine really. But the way 3.33 goes about presenting was kind of half-assed, there had to have been a more organic way to go from 2.22 to 3.33 than the method they chose.

I spent the whole movie wishing Katsuragi had detonated his choker in the first act.
