I understand that I bought the whole series on DVD when I was 16 and it's probably the reason I'm a weirdo goon now.

Luckily this wasn't an issue for American fans because her dubbed voice is about as pleasant to listen to as rusty nails on a chalkboard.

Well they were controlled by software so they don't give a poo poo about pain or survival. They never died, they were only injured.

Sci-fi where everything has an answer is boring as hell. See: Star Trek TNG

Evagelion is a very love it or hate it kinda show. I think you need to be a depressed, broken, self-loathing individual to truly "get" it. I'm a pathetic sadsack loser, so it's right up my alley!

The Evangelion manga kinda spells everything out for you, sorta like the book version of 2001: A Space Odyssey or the Shining vs. the Stanley Kubrick films. Eva is very, very Kubrick-esque.

It's the same story, but put through a filter to make it more palatable to general audiences - so it's tamer and a little dumbed down. I.E. it doesn't have the infamous fapping scene, has a happy ending and so on. Its version of Rei actually makes her into an interesting character, though. It's worth a read though and it's a good companion piece to the original work. I kinda hated the David Lynch Dune movie until I read the book and understood the context, then I was like "oh, I like this, this is clever." I always liked Eva, though.

The Rebuild movies are not amazing though and aren't a classic like the original was. I can't really recommend them unless you've already seen the original.


Pretty much. It's a show that's more or less a giant metaphor for depression and Freudian psychology. It's not actually a show about giant robots or religion or whatever.


He's still alive and is doing the new Godzilla movie now.

Wow, can't wait for Godzilla to get mind raped by mothra!

That's all apocryphal stuff from the video game, it's studio sanctioned fanfiction.

Mindgame gets the same point across as Eva much more efficiently and effectively.

:catholic: They're called "Eva" because they were cloned from Adam's body (ie rib)

I think Eva fans should check out Jojo, there's a lot of similarities. Just like Eva is a show ostensibly about robots that's really about depression, Jojo is a show ostensibly about cool guys beating up other cool guys that's really about cool guys beating up other cool guys

I was sad when Jonathan died but all good things must come to an end.

You guys ever seen Space Adventure Cobra? That's a good rear end anime. No little kids, just a cool dude with a gun arm and an army of hot chicks.

space pirate captain harlock is my favorite



the badass 70s tv series, not the dogshit CGI movie that came out a year or two ago

Cobra I think is actually a riff on that show because he starts out looking the same but gets plastic surgery and a more relaxed attitude.
