A lot of people seem to downplay the first half of Eva in my experience but it has a lot of cool as hell moments. In discussion of Eva I hardly ever see anyone bring up how the show has lots of interesting and creative fights. It's a show where they defeat one of the monsters with a synchronized dance routine, that's cool as hell. They shove battleships into a giant alien shark's mouth and fire all the guns. That poo poo rules. Eva is a good show, and I'm going to rewatch it once the blurays come out.

i liked afro samurai a lot and it still looks cool, but its also super silly but not silly enough, if that sentiment makes sense

I think it's already been proven he's not the gooniest but I was gonna suggest Daru from Stein's Gate.GorfZaplen posted:A lot of people seem to downplay the first half of Eva in my experience but it has a lot of cool as hell moments.

Shinji and Asuka learning to work together as a team is very cliche but also effective.

The first half of Eva is good but it's not nearly as good as the second half and gets overshadowed in its own remakes. It's somewhat of a necessary evil in its own way, they establish this weird jokey, shounen vibe until the episode where they dive into a volcano and then turn back strongly into the themes they teased at in the opening episode. Episodes 1 to 6 and everything after 10 are fantastic, there's just this weird stretch where it becomes a comedy that clashes with the rest of the series.

Neon Genesis Evangelion was the second best TV show of the 90s, had the best movie of the 90s and will have the best movie of the 2010s. Incredible power

Up to ep 22 leaves you right at the beginning of the Silver Saint arc, which has some of my favorite moments in the whole show.

Rebuild 3 was the most successful film in the Japanese domestic box office in the year it was released. If American blockbuster films had one-tenth of the the same ambition and craft, I would be ecstatic.

I'm holding off on watching Rebuild until it's finished. Part of me wants to trust Anno knows what he's doing but another part of me thinks the original was fine and shouldn't be reinvented - while another part of me wonders how much Eva's status as a cash cow played into things.

rebuild 1.0 was incredibly boring for me, as a person who watched NGE earlier the same year. they didn't redo the cool Sachiel shots and cg Ramiel was overhyped i think. haven't watched the others yet.

1.0 is definitely the most boring part since it's just a retread.

I have a bunch of money saved up and instead of saving it for when I finish uni I might splurge for a decent size 1080p TV. This 720p TV is killing me even though it's pretty big.

Wasn't there a scene in the series where they show an alternate reality where everyone is just a normal? I barely remember but my guess is that might've just been in Shinji's head.
