getitoffgetitoff posted:The alternate universe is the only part of the English dub where they absolutely outdid the original, in my opinion. It feels like whoever was in charge of the dub just got what they were going for there. "Shinji you pervert when I said get up I didn't mean it like that!" "What, its the morning, get off my back."

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Gunbuster's is amazing, Diebuster's is okay, Panty and Stocking's is hilarious, both of Evangelion's are great... I realize people get upset about them, but those people are largely wrong. Eva's ending is literally the most insane poo poo ever made. EoE is literally the second most insane thing ever made. P&S is a bullshit last minute twist out of nowhere for absolutely no reason. Universally hated. (granted, its Panty and stocking, so it doesn't cut as deep as it would in a serious show) GL is almost universally disliked. It is considered thematically inconsistent by most, and even the people who do like the ending content wise have to admit its poorly told. Never seen the busters, but I've seen plenty of anger about them Gainax is legendary for loving up endings

Captain Invictus posted:When I think of people saying "Gainax'd" it largely boils down to two groups: Eva complaints and Mahoromatic complaints. I'm not trying to paint my own opinions as fact, these are just fairly common thoughts about Gainax endings. Regardless of your thoughts on GL's ending theme-wise, you have to admit it could have been done better (which in turn would have reduced the rage over it). When the last ep of Panty and stocking dropped people stared to call it "the day gainax ruined christmas". Gainax endings are extremely divisive at best. Edged Hymn posted:EoE's ending is glorious. Seriously, it's loving art. Yeah I'll fuckin' fight you if you dislike Eva's endings. That poo poo is gloriously insane. Shinji floats in the black void of his self conscious as he psycho analyzes himself is the only time I have ever stared at screen and truly felt disbelief. And then in EoE Rei strips naked, turns into the stay puft marshmallow man and turns the world into tang.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:
You and I love the ending, but plenty of people don't. Even if you do, you have to admit its pretty drat crazy. When I say "good" I mean there isn't really a significant contingent of people who get up in arms about the ending. No matter what you think of the finales to the shows we've been discussing, a non insignificant number of people find them dissatisfying or unacceptable. Hence, Gainax's rep for "not being good at endings". Anyway, I'm sure 4 will blow us away when it plumbs new depths of insanity.

He's super weird as gently caress and I no longer want to know what voice actors look or act like ever again. Never look up what a VA looks like in real life. They never fit, ever.

SHISHKABOB posted:Well wasn't her mom Japanese. It's totally not ridiculous to assume that they spoke Japanese in the Langley-Soryhu household, and so Asuka is probably bilingual. Yeah Asuka is a fluent Japanese speaker but she can't read it. Makes sense to assume she picked it up by speaking with her mom. House Louse posted:I'm not as hot on Rebuild as these guys, but it's certainly interesting, especially 3 in my opinion because it diverges the most from the original series. And the production values are much better (there's a representative still in the OP, probably comparison videos on YouTube.) Yeah. The scene where asuka gets the call from home is all in totally real german. Grants accent is supposedly poo poo, though.

Spiritus Nox posted:That's the only way I can see it really working. They'd have to make a bunch of new Angels to make it good though. SOTC had the advantage of all the bosses basically boiling down to "Find weak spot, climb to weakspot (possibly using some clever method of mounting or weakening colossus), stab weakspot." I don't see how you'd even have any meaningful gameplay for angels like Ramiel or Leiliel, let alone gameplay that's both fun and doesn't require a dev team to be able to make entirely new mechanics for each boss.  (Is this nws?) >The Asuka Langley-Soryu Social link has reached its maximum level. >Shinji Ikari has forged a bond that cannot be broken.

AmiYumi posted:No, skip the first episode - go straight for the second. Episode one tries to establish poo poo and be all serious, while episode two lets you know what you're really in for with Cowboy Bebop. Go back later if you like it. Episode one is one of the best, you are crazy. One of Bebop's strengths is its ability to balance serious drama and comedic adventure.

Pierson posted:I've never seen Big O. I keep meaning to get around to it because I loved the 90s Batman as a kid, but somehow I keep forgetting to queue it up.  Big O is a really great show, even with the eva-level insane second season. The show is american as hell, it really has a distinctive New York noir/jazz atmosphere that you would be a fool to dislike. Roger smith is Bruce Wayne, there is no other way to describe him, all the characters are great, and don't even get me started on Big O itself  . As you can probably tell I like Big O a lot, please watch it (in english)AmiYumi posted:Y'all are forgetting that episode 2 is "Bad Dog, No Biscuits". Everyone you know is terrible because Asteroid Blues is a loving great episode with everyhting that makes bebop great; space mexico/western style, jeet kun do gun fights, blues/jazz soundtrack totally on point, Spike and Jet playing off each other, humor, the works man. Its a fuckin' great first episode because it showcases nearly everything your gonna get over the next 25 episodes. And Stray dog Strut is a good episode, but its no "Gateway Shuffle" or "Cowboy Funk".

Spiritus Nox posted:Just saw Pacific Rim, enjoyed it immensely. Thought it was really fascinating to see some of the parallels with Eva - it sure as hell isn't the Western Evangelion some people thought it was going to be at the first trailers, but I'd be really surprised if Del Toro hasn't seen some Evangelion before. He hasn't.

Phobophilia posted:Wait you mean it's not the other way around? Some of the earlier episodes were completely generic and rightfully ignored by the rebuilds, like the nuclear robot one, or the synchronised dancing one, or the volcano one defeated by a random bit of science trivia chekoved out earlier. I mean they're not unentertaining, but they're unnecessary. You mean Anno actually got saner as Shinji and the series started to break down? You eat poo poo, Dance like you wanna win is the best episode and Im still mad they cut it from the rebuilds.

I disagree completely, asuka was much more cohesive in the show. She feels tacked on and rushed in the rebuilds imo (I've also only seen up to two, hurry up Funi)

biomatter posted:The only thing I don't like about the show so far are all the long, drawn-out still shots. I understand that it is trying to be more mellow and dramatic, but jesus christ do those scenes last forever sometimes. The art itself is pretty good - it doesn't exactly hold up to modern anime - but there are lots of little details that add to the realism of each scene. Hahaha, boy are you in for a treat.
