Evangelion 3.0+1.0 - Cruel angel's premiere
- Thread starter ThornGhost
- Start date
I should probably rewatch the first three movies (or at least the third) before watching the fourth because I barely remember anything that happened in them
I honestly think you can watch Evangelion 3.33 thirty three times and understand just as much as if you only watched it once.
The end of the 10 minute preview they were showing at conventions a year ago was salvaging some old parts, so . . . maybe.
(a cam rip and the fan subs are not very good)
Jet Alone died for your sins.
I watched 1.11 last night to remind myself what had happened in these movies. It's such a great distillation of the first part of that story, very visually striking, exciting, mysterious and still finds time to build atmosphere. I'd love to know what someone who has never seen the original anime would think of these films; if there's enough there to fully grasp the story or if it only holds together for existing fans because we've already internalized the connecting tissue that was cut out.
I've wondered that myself. Having watched Eva a few times through long before these Rebuild films, I'm never sure how much the movies' entertainment value rests on my own foreknowledge of characters and events, and how much is on the movies' own merits.
Incidentally, I've wondered the same thing about the Berserk movies.

Trailer mostly looks good, except for the CGI character models a few times. Here's some new key art:

lol none of them are streaming and the first one is out of print. Oops!
Well, here’s hoping there’s a box set!
You should (not) have waited!
Since I've been low key working on learning Japanese, I thought it might be fun to translate the vertical tag line on the poster. As far as I can tell, it says:
"Farewell, all of Evangelion"
Not that exciting!
"Farewell, all of Evangelion"
Not that exciting!
This is actually hilarious to me.
It's still extremely in print and streamable in Japan. And they're doing theatrical showings of remasters of the first three movies in the run up to the fourth, which will probably also go on sale at some point.
The overseas (and particularly American) rights are just a mess.
I think the in touch with reality criticism of these movies would be that they have a pattern of milking fans for money with re-releases, not that they're struggling. (Also, if you live in America, that no corporation will allow you to buy them, for some reason.)

Looking into it, the new theatrical releases this year of 1-3 in Japan were not even remasters but "4D" screenings (chair shaking, mist effects, etc, amusement-parkification stuff) which is about as far as you can possibly go to milk a rerelease, I think.

FWIW the first movie is basically the same as the episodes it covers from the TV series, so it's probably the least "important" of the 3 to see...that said, it is a way better looking version of that content, so it's nice to have and it is funny as Hell that it doesn't exist anymore. I'm sure a Evangelion You (Will) [Not] Buy Master Collection 4.0 Box: Chains of Memories 0.5 HD Remix Card Revolution will eventually get released.
I mean, there's no one here who expects 4.0 to be good...right? Like, we all agree that 3.0 was bad and 4 is only gonna be way way worse and it'll be an insane trainwreck?

I think Eva 3.0 was the best of these and that between Eva 3.0 and Shin Godzilla Anno has been on a creative hot streak during this point in his career, when he hasn't had depression so serious he can't do anything.
No idea if this will be good or bad. I think Anno and Khara could fail to stick the landing. It can be hard to return to a project after a long break, especially if the long break is because you think you don't deserve to live. But I like the imagery so far, and I loved Eva Q.

lol not at all. It was weird and bewildering, but at least it tried to be something new and different.
On the balance, I'm pretty sure I liked the third movie. It's definitely harder to get my head around than the previous two, but no, I thought it was fine. At this point, Eva's off-the-rails weirdness should be a known quantity. I think anyone who's seen the series before this should probably expect any Eva project to Go There at some point. It's kind of what I'm here for.
