Talk about one of the most controversial anime here! Discuss whether you think the plot was great or it was just a depressed guy whining. Who is better, Asuka or Rei? Talk about how you loved/hated then ending(s)!
I liked the show.
Movies count as OVAs if their first release is on video/DVD.
Whoopsie, statement retracted
The best thing about End of Evangelion? The Happy Suicide Song. I love to sing this and freak out my co-workers.

"It all returns to nothing, it all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down"
I had that song stuck in my head for days.
I hope they don't screw up the 4 movies. Its been awile since the EOE was released.
The first Rebuild movie comes out tomorrow~~! How long until someone releases a camcorder-ed version in torrent form?? How long until someone subtitles it??? My heart is all a-twitter.

Hopefully, it'll appear (subbed, naturally) on Crunchy Roll before ADV can snap up the rights in the US to it.
What the hell is a "crunchy roll"? Some kind of bottomfeeder site making money off other's work?
You don't pay for crunchyroll. It's the youtube of fansubbed, unliscenced anime.
>>47 has it about right. When it DOES get licensed, they almost immediately take the licensed anime down, giving only a few weeks notice to let people know to get it now or buy it later on DVD. It's actually a really nice site compared to most that do pirating. The owner is really good about taking stuff down on request, too.
crunchyroll always makes me think of poop
Yeah I just did a crunchy roll earlier. It was so crunchy I bled from the anus.
Its my favorite show. Just because of the art design, the characters and the over-all kick ass.
I want to see this movie but I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time.
This is what I liked about Shojo Kakumei Utena. The many ways you can use the term "revolution".
"Revolution" a cycle or "revolution" breaking the cycle.
Utena couldn't "bring revolution to the world", but she broke the revolution in Anthy's world and freed her.
I guess Utena is similar to Evangelion. Supposedly deep meanings are just musings on the surface, like "Hey, here's this theme. We'll give you ideas, images, but we won't explore it. We'll just let you do that."
Steals chord progression from Canon. Still a good song in my opinion but it pisses my friend off.
Note to any wanting to hear song: there is AMV for this song using End Of Evangelion. It is nice.
On a more relevant note, I was fooled into thinking that it was deep upon first watching. I quickly learned that this was not true in terms of symbolism and whatnot. However, if I learned one thing from all those classics they made me read in English, it's that such things as symbolism does not establish depth. Rather it is the experiences of the audience. While it is important to study what the intended meaning of something (or lack thereof)is, I find it more important and effective for each person to create their own depth.
Because of this I may see something as extraordinarily deep while my friends think the exact opposite. Eva is an example of this. I find its commentary on human nature to be very relevant.
tl;dr: Depth is relative and almost anything can be seen as deep by someone. Except maybe those teen movies. But you never know.
tl;dr: Religious offensiveness makes anime deep!
In all seriousness, though, the "Happy Suicide Song"'s official title is "Komm, susser tod" (though it is supposed to be "Komm, süßer Tod"; i.e., the umlaut is missing... the double s isn't necessary, if you know German). It means "Come, sweet death".
The title is a reference to Bach, even if the song isn't really. However, there are quite a few other Bach references, in Eva, and particularly in EoE.
I failed to capitalize the "T" in Tod. I shame my famiry! ;y=ｰ( ﾟдﾟ)･∵.
anyone seen the new movie yet?
NO BUT I WANT TO
WTF
>>58
I have no interest in the new movie, but I might watch it later now that I have it in my head.
Why do the Japanese think it's ok to keep NGE rebuild all to themselves???? the Koreans won't even get to see it till October 12th, and only at a film festival!
(>_<)
>>55
That too...
It's seriously time to move on guys.
>>63 Is it? Or are we supposed to let it fester within us until we finally have our vengeance?
I think vengeance is fun, so I'm going with that one. Enjoy your "moving on." Feh...
>>64 Damn I fail sage...
> official title is "Komm, susser tod" (though it is supposed to be "Komm, süßer Tod"; i.e., the umlaut is missing... the double s isn't necessary, if you know German). It means "Come, sweet death".
From dealing with uppercasing, lowercasing and normalising German strings, I have the impression that ß is a double-s anyway.
Yes, that's what he meant.
When is this show supposed to get good? I'm on like episode 10 and I'm still not interested yet. I thought this was supposed to be deep and full of awesome characters and shit?
You heard wrong man. I'm sorry for you. If there's anything that Eva is not, it's deep.
>>68
It gets much better from episode 13 or so to 23.
Also, you ARE watching the subtitled version, and not the horrible English dub, right?
the congratulations! ending was pretty good, every other shot at it get progressively worse.
I think people mistook [is that a word?] suggested complexity for depth.
Of course. I wouldn't watch an anime any other way.
So it turns out the first Rebuild movie sold about 220000 copies in the first week, completely crushing everybody else. That kind of sales for anime is apparently unheard of outside of Ghibli and Disney movies.
No wonder, really, Evangelion was amazingly popular, and the movie really is great.
And that's nothing compared to the number of pirate copies!
>>74
Heck yes! I can't wait for a state side release!
I just rewatched it, and I was really surprised at how uneven it is. Not in terms of quality -- I liked pretty much all of it equally, and the last two episodes or so weren't as insufferable as I had remembered -- but the tone of it really changes. Maybe it was my mood at the time, but the first two or three episodes were just incredibly depressing, and then Asuka showed up about five episodes later and it basically turned into robot of the week/comedy with some pseudophilosophy here and there until the end when it turned into gibberish.
OH GOD WHAT IS THIS I DONT EVEN
