I just watched Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn on Netflix and it was kind of startling how many similarities to Evangelion I saw. Of course, I know that the original Gundam show came out in like the 70s, so I know I sort of have things "backwards" here, but it's always really cool to see all this imagery and themes get shared by different stories. As an aside, is there any good way to see the original Gundam anywhere besides like buying some 200 dollar bluray from Japan?

I have two questions. 1. Are those Rebuild movies any good? There's still one yet to come out right? 2. Is the series on Netflix going to have a subtitle option available? I can't handle dubbing, except Cowboy Bebop.

The Rebuild movies are at the very least interesting, judging them as a whole is difficult since, as you note, there's still one missing and there's a lot still up in the air. Netflix has subs for all of its anime as far as I'm aware.

Unicorn has great animation and great supporting cast (Marida Cruz is the best character, fight me) but Banadger is just such a nobody that just doesn't develop in any way. Compare him to Marida or Riddhe who have legitimately cool arcs and you realize that if they did something interesting with the main character the whole show would improve immensely.

I need some good EVA figures on my shelf. What are the best ones? Would prefer something poseable but I could do some cool statues.

If you like building models Kotobukiya's kits are nice. Bandai's kits are old and show their age, though the PG Eva 01 is probably the biggest Eva you can get without going full custom sculpture.

So I made these last May. I have no idea where to put them so I'm putting them here. I'd been chewing on this kind of cross for a long time as I was introduced to this album the same year I was introduced to Evangelion. Specifically, the images for Blue Monday felt strongest, but the rest of the album came from the same kind of place. It was a fun exercise, at the very least. I wanted to do all 12 songs, but the two omitted were very... difficult to work with so I just skipped them. These aren't really presented in any particular order. If I had to give any ranking, it'd be the following: Blue Monday, Fetisha, Pantomime, Platinum, Gender, Revival, Fiend, Stitches, All The Same, Dissention I present: An AMV collection of 10 Evangelion x Orgy's Candyass (1998) album: https://vimeo.com/album/5200293 Blue Monday https://vimeo.com/album/5200293/video/271163229 Pantomime https://vimeo.com/album/5200293/video/273253478 Fetisha https://vimeo.com/album/5200293/video/272103541 Revival https://vimeo.com/album/5200293/video/280086983 Platinum https://vimeo.com/album/5200293/video/272284731 Stitches https://vimeo.com/album/5200293/video/275332041 Fiend https://vimeo.com/album/5200293/video/280244283 All The Same https://vimeo.com/album/5200293/video/272284936 Gender https://vimeo.com/album/5200293/video/280244178 Dissention https://vimeo.com/album/5200293/video/273363704 fake edit: it only embeds Flash video from vimeo for some reason? wtf. That's dumb. I'll just link them I guess.

I think the fact it would be over Ultraman would bother me more than another delay itself. :/

Maybe the real 4.0 is the movies he made along the way.

At this point I'd rather have Anno directed Ultraman than 4.0

I want 4.0 as much as anyone, but I wasn't disappointed by Anno doing a Godzilla movie first and I doubt I'll be disappointed by this.

The only news where I'm ok with 4.0 being delayed is Anno doing an Ultraman movie. This is the best possible news imo.

Nah actually it's rear end considering they made a big to-do about "hey guys we're working on it again!" It's legitimately cool that Anno is getting all these opportunities, and Shin Godzilla was awesome. But holy crap, I'm just gonna say Rebuild has been a pretty big mess and let 3 and 4's productions speak for themselves.

It's cool because Ultraman is cool.

Someone is doing a review of Adeptus Evangelion in TG’s Fatal and Friends thread. Starts on page 984 but there’s some preliminary discussion on the page before. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3758962&perpage=40&pagenumber=984#post493103973

Anno's a dungeon master who really doesn't want to run his old game but won't actually come out and say it, and just smiles weakly and goes "haha yeah maybe" when someone asks if he's going back to it

I've seen Evangelion 3.0 and I've seen Shin Godzilla Given a choice between having more of one or the other, I rather have Shin Ultraman.

at some point you have to ask yourself which is more important, the creative mind behind something you enjoyed, or the brand

Really I don’t think it means you don’t support him just because you want closure. People aren’t asking him to make a series, but one last movie. It’s not crazy.
