Evangelion: You Are (Not) Alone
|
Coming out this month in theatres across most of North America. If you have a local Cineplex they seem to pretty much all be showing it on Sept 30th.
--------------- Epsilon Here's hoping it inspires new chapters of I Was A Teenage Dummyplug "No can brain today. Want cheezeburger." From NGE: Nobody Dies, by Gregg Landsman http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5579457/1/NGE_Nobody_Dies
They're redoing EVA from scratch. The first movie You Are (Not) Alone covers approximately the same timeframe as the first six episodes.
Completely new animation (apparently gorgeously done). The second movie You Can (Not) Advance is out in Japan now and apparently takes a significant turn in the orginal plotline (for example, it introduces a new pilot). ------------------ Epsilon 
What Eps said. It's essentially an Eva AU. From what I've heard, it was half "let's do this without running out of money halfway
through", and half Anno getting over the really insane depression he's been suffering from for god only knows how long, and using Eva to show how much he's changed. I've heard good things about it, from people that had issues with the originals second half and movie, so I'm curious to see how it does.
Just got back from the showing here in Ottawa (amusingly they were running it off a hard drive and it started again from the beginning right after the next
eisode preview ;p). First off, it is very, very pretty. They really spared no expense in the animation budget for this one, very well done. The final battle sequence contained a little too much gratituious CGI for the sake of CGI but the way they changed how the drill worked and the SFX for all the Eva fights was very well done. So far they stuck pretty close to the original plot with some noteable scenes being deleted. Going to the theatre was worth it for the sound alone, however. The surround sound at the theatre was spectacular. I'm looking forward to the next release (which will probably be a year away at least) and hope they made enough money to justify doing this again next time, or maybe with different movies in the future. ---------------- Epsilon 
sadly it is not playing in my area

It has 1 listed showing in my area, 10am on saturday/tomorrow, a day when I've got a manditory overtime shift. -_-

Grrr. Fandango doesn't show it at any theatre local to me.

*Rolls eyes* Of course. We're lucky to have such a release even appear in any American movie theaters at all. Seriously, the American movie industry is a
very grudging beast when it comes to anime - only stuff localized by Disney and its subsidiary, Miramax, get any serious attention. |
