Zas posted:the shinji screams are one of my favorite things about the show, as hosed up as that sounds - absolutely uncompromising, painful and expressive, like the show as a whole from the death and rebirth theatrical program http://www.evaotaku.com/html/dr1-seiyuu.html : quote:Every time a new script arrived... every time I turned a new page... I was torn apart by a new pain. Even though they were fresh wounds, with fresh blood spilling out, it felt like I was peeling off old scabs which remained on my skin. Sometimes slowly, sometimes with a quick jerk, the claws of a merciless 'Creator' peeled away the layers of my heart... I would be happy if I were able to touch the "Shinji" inside everyone. The "Shinji" inside me is waiting for the time of complementation.

So episodes 21 to 24 have director's cuts, but 25 and 26 are the same?

Yup Episodes 25&26 are exactly how they were supposed to be, contrary to what some might tell you.

ok I'm going to do this. I'm only on ep 7 but gently caress it. where doing it man, where MAKING THIS HAPPEN And my source is dubbed. I have been spoiled by the animation I watch. The voice acting is loving horrrrrrrrible. It's no wonder people weren't sympathetic to Shinji, everytime he talks you'd expect that sad trumpet to play.

I believe in you, forum poster Acne Rain! Embrace the universe like a blazing star!  And yeah, the dub cast needs some time to grow into their roles. Although Spencer is never really able to hit the high notes of the Shinji scream, he does regular ol' confused surly teenaged weirdo Shinji just fine.

haven't really watched the english dub more than a few episodes, it felt bad. and I really like the japanese cast. like for instance I think it's easy to overlook how good Rei (Megumi Hayashibara)'s performance is. it's so often imitated and so easy to dismiss as 'monotone,' but there's an intensity to it that still seems unique to me. she does a similar but less intense voice in anno's 2nd live action movie 'ritual' (shiki jitsu) aka the one adapted from a novel written by steven seagal's daughter, who also stars. I'm watching it now, seems french, has some great compositions Mia Wasikowska fucked around with this message at 13:44 on Jan 17, 2016 |

Gotta work my fingertent game up. That's the thing about this show. In many ways, it's like a symphony in that its soul is found, to large degree, in the rests. Since it's come up a few times recently, what is it that your husband finds objectionable about Shinji? I hated him when I first watched the show, too, but looking at it now, we've got a kid who's attending a school where everyone else either pilots an Eva or wants to. All he knows is that the process of piloting the thing causes him, personally, a great deal of physical and emotional pain (Since neither Asuka nor Rei seems to have the same problem), and who has received absolutely no explanation about why it has to be him rather than, for example, Aida to hop in the pilot tube and be the hero. And yet, he continues to seek his absentee father's validation, even while his father's foremost priority seems to be the crushing of Shinji's illusions that they might, one day, manage to become a functional family. It's a pretty hosed up thing to do to a kid, and a certain amount of self-pity is only to be expected. I did watch the show once, but more than a decade ago and I don't really remember much by way of details, so maybe I'm still viewing it from a different perspective than a first time viewer, but I've found myself far more sympathetic to Shinji than I would have expected (up to this last episode, when my sympathy threshold was exceeded and I actively started laughing at Shinji's pain).

I asked him, and they're mainly the usual complaints: boring and unlikeable. He doesn't have a lot of patience for angsty teen characters, either. He acknowledges there's evidently a lot more going on under the surface the show will probably go into, though, and we're only five eps in. Really looking forward to how he reacts to Asuka.

The end of episode 19 is one of my favourite parts of the series. Yeah, I know I say that a lot. I never quite get the stuff with the S2 engine though, Unit 01 already had one right? That's the red core thing and the reason it could reactivate without power? So when it eats the Angel its actually taking a second one into it?
