3.0 + 1.0s showing of normal life after the impact is so unintentionally funny because the majority of the population is living like it’s the stone age and are farming to survive meanwhile WILLE has ipads

#I get that it’s supposed to be a farming cottage core eutopia but it’s still funny to me #evangelion #neon genesis evangelion #Asuka stuck with a DS 0.5 because village 11 doesn’t get WiFi so she can’t use her ps5 #on a serious lore not based on screen cap spoilers I’ve seen for that mini movie that came with the 3.0 + 1.0 dvd it does look like some #quote unquote villages do consist of larger city areas and they’re not all farming simulator #and they better not be!!! it makes the lore in my brain much more boring if the wunder just visits farms #3.0 + 1.0 #evangelion thrice upon a time #nge

Kaworu clame he wanted to make shinj happy when all he wanted to do is amke himself happy which ended whit him making shinji life miserable. While kensuke help shinji even telling him she should try talking to his father which ended well for him leading to shinji being happy for the first time in life. Mari for some dumb reason keep forcing asuka to be whit shinji knwing those two can’t get along whit five minutes which make her really annoying. Being around shinji make asuka very unhappy which lead to her ending this toxic relationship once and for all movie on from shinji. Kensuke who live whit asuka for fourteen years know she a trouble young woman but never left her side and is always there when she needs him. Kensuke treat asuka like a adult, he does not  tell her what to do whit her nor force her to be whit him like mari does whit shinji. He let asuka make her own choices like a grow up and this does go unnitice by asuka.   

Shinji claim he liked asuka but he never show it all for. He never talk her to, never try to make things batter whit her and when she try to talk to him before the final battle he totaly ignore her by never looking at her. Is this how you trat someone she supposed use to like. He make a halfass confession that carry no weight and all everyone think it wipe out years of abuse between the two and ignore how badly he treated her during the movie. It bullshit. the only thing he say is true when he drop kensuke name cause he know that where asuka hart and mind belong to and shinji is happy for both of them. While they did not get along he does care for asuka and what her to be happy. Kensuke is his best friend that help him when other people did not help him in his time of needs and what him to be happy too.  

Action speak louder then words and kensuke action speak louder then the words of kaworu, mari and shinji. There a reason why the 3rd village see him as a hero. He a good man who does good things rather they workout or not. He earn right to be happy ans not he get live the rest of his life whit the woman of his dreams. Sadly eva fans don’t see that cause they too blind to see that due there selfish feelings toward kensuke. Too busy listening to clowns like adamworu who trash kensuke for years just to suck up to eva fans who hate him. Those kind of people is why I don’t get along whit eva fans cause they don’t care about these characters. Eva staff don’t care either all they care about is the fanservice characters that make them money and kensuke not one of them. If you care about these characters then then these selfish fans know this is about the eva characters feelings and to stop forcing there own selfish feelings on characters just because they didn’t get what they wanted.

just watched the Evangelion 3.0+1.11 shorts

(3.0-46h animated short) Nice to see Kitakami - one of the new bridge bunnies introduced in 3.33(3) - get a backstory. Always assumed she dyed her hair pink, but no, THE REASON IS KINDA SAD?

More of these please, Khara! I want to know more about the other guys too, since they always felt underdeveloped compared to their seniors (Aida, Hyuga and Ibuki) having an entire previous timeloop's worth of (mild) character development

(3.0-120m vomic) Mari is totally an AsuShin shipper, if I interpreted her singing 'Hanayome' correctly

either that or Shinji has the weirdest fucking polycule going on (assuming Mari and Mary Iscariot are one and the same, and regarding the Reis' entire existence)

Finally watched Rebuild of Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 and god that was satisfying after almost a decade worth of waiting. And as much as I love End of Evangelion and Q, this movie in particular found me when I needed it most.

Thank you, Anno-san

Been meaning to watch Neon Evangelion, any recommendations of where to start??

ok so i just finished it for the first time i was advised by several friends here is what you need to know:

watch the original series on netflix. the netflix version is remastered and includes the director's cuts of the final few episodes. it is a new dub but i like it better than the old dub (yes and as a new fan i know this is controversial). unless you like subs better - in general for all of this i suggest dub, but with english SUBTITLES (not cc unless you need it) on, because sometimes things are translated differently. one thing to note is that the closing credits songs are not the originals because netflix couldn't get the rights, look up all the different versions of fly me to the moon on youtube.

watch the "end of evangelion" movie on netflix. same deal, new dub voice actors, etc. the TLDR here is that this show has three different fucking endings because of running out of budget, fan outrage, etc, and this movie was the creator's FUCK YOU to the fans who didn't like the original ending. it is...extremely jarring but very important. there are a few other movies like death true and death and rebirth but these basically were theatrical releases of pieces of either this movie, or the final few episodes, mashed with recap content, so they're not needed.

watch the 4 rebuild of evangelion movies, the directors cuts, on amazon prime (you don't need to buy them, they're included). the dub here is the original dub VAs so you can get an idea of what those were like, and i suggest the english subtitles (not cc) here too. for additional context, these four movies were made throughout the 2000s and 2010s so the creator (Anno) could build the story as he originally intended, without network or budget or time constraints, and it starts out the same but then changes the ending dramatically. again, the three endings all layer on top of each other, the experience of evangelion is a metatextual one. the films are, in order: Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone, Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance, Evangelion: 3.33 You Can (Not) Redo, Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time.

content warnings: body horror, many MANY references to christianity, suicide, sexual assault and harassment, weird underage shit, abuse of various kinds, depression - this show is VERY VERY dark, but with some very hopeful messages, so please go into it carefully and well prepared, especially if you have traumas yourself.

I would suggest at least SKIMMING these 4 articles (maybe dodge around some spoilers) before watching to get an idea of how the text speaks to itself and the audience. while every piece of media is influenced by the audience, this one especially is a LOT:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/06/27/how-evangelion-opened-my-eyes-my-depression/

it does seem like a lot but unlike a lot of classic anime it really is not that long, it's like 26 episodes plus the four movies so, i finished it in a week lol. once you watch it you can read more about it and see how it influenced (and was influenced by) SO many other things you know, it's a very cool experience!

Shin Godzilla (2016) dir. Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi

Contains some spoilers.

Today marks the 77th anniversary of the u.s. bombing of Hiroshima. I’ve been reflecting a lot on it these days, mostly because of all the conversation around Oppenheimer. I didn’t set out to watch Shin Godzilla as a result of those conversations, or because of the date or anything like that, but I realized this morning that it ended up happening that way. 

I will say I went about this kind of funny– the first film I saw in Hideaki Anno’s Shin Japan Heroes Universe was Shin Kamen Rider, then Shin Ultraman, and finally Shin Godzilla– so with the exception of Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, which I have yet to see, I watched the series backwards. Because of this, some of the elements that Anno (and Shinji Higuchi) used in Shin Godzilla weren’t as surprising to me as they seemed to be to 2016 viewers because they’ve now become hallmarks of the SJHU films– namely the choice to use elements of the original 1954 Godzilla soundtrack. The integration of the original soundtracks has been one of my favorite aspects of the SJHU films, and it worked well for me here. Michael W. Harris has an interesting post on his blog, The Temp Track, comparing Shiro Sagisu’s work in this film to his work for the Evangelion series– I recommend reading it if you’re interested in that sort of thing, as my musical knowledge isn’t robust enough for me to say what I want to say about it. I originally thought that they used the 1954 roar for the entirety of the film, but when I was looking up information about it this morning, I learned that they only used it for Godzilla’s third form (dubbed Shinagawa-kun for his destruction of the Shinagawa ward)-- his fourth form (Kamakura-san) uses the higher pitched 1962-1975 roar. Maybe modern audiences are more familiar with the later roar, or perhaps it was a choice motivated by personal nostalgia on Higuchi and Anno’s parts. 

Modern depictions of Godzilla tend to favor a kaiju-fighting anti-hero Godzilla– a Godzilla that is fearsome, but respected, and can be maneuvered to fight against other more antagonistic monsters. The Godzilla we see in Shin Godzilla is not this. This Godzilla is a destructive, terrible, inescapable force. From the first moment that we see something explode out of the water, there’s an atmosphere of dread– or at least there was for me. Of course, much as the 1954 Godzilla came less than a decade after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this film came less than a decade after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, and the simultaneous nuclear disaster in Fukushima. I’m sure that Japanese audiences knew exactly who the filmmakers were pointing at during sequences like the meetings-on-meetings, or the press conferences featuring politicians clad in blue jumpsuits. Ishiro Honda, the director of the 1954 Godzilla, is stated to have filmed Godzilla’s destruction of Tokyo to directly mirror the bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The scenes of boats piled on top of each other, or cars being flung apart as the road is ripped up beneath them, clearly evoke the destruction caused by the 3.11 earthquake and tsunami. (There’s an article on MyKaiju called “311 Motif in Shin Godzilla” where John Ruffin compares scenes from the film and images from the news.) I watched Shin Godzilla thinking about 2011, but also the consequences of global warming in the global south– particularly in places like the Philippines, where people are hit year after year by catastrophic typhoons– and of course, to a lesser degree, the ineffectual government response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Anyway, this isn’t to say that there aren’t moments of sympathy for Godzilla. It’s made clear that Godzilla exists as a result of environmental destruction– individual and state choices– and after the bombs are dropped, we hear the song “Who Will Know,” believed to be from Godzilla’s point of view. Of course, Godzilla never asked to become irradiated megafauna. 

I read from a few people that the depiction of the u.s. was somewhat unpopular with western audiences. I honestly thought that the depiction of the u.s. was quite generous considering … everything about the u.s. I was most interested in Kayoco Anne Patterson’s motivations– she enters the film as a fast-talking, clearly Asian American politician (suspend your disbelief for a second– her makeup in comparison to the makeup we see on some of the other women in the film is one of the best examples I’ve seen of Asian American versus Asian makeup styles) but about halfway through the film, she tearfully explains that her grandmother lived in Japan during the war and lived through the bombings. Although it isn’t the focus of the film, there’s an interesting conversation here about diaspora and their connection to their homelands. It’s this connection that guides her actions, even at the cost of potentially destroying her political career. 

Speaking of political careers, the protagonist, Rando Yaguchi, has a complex character arc. At the beginning of the film, he is one of the only characters willing to oppose the senior politicians’ belief that the explosion of steam in the ocean is not a threat. Throughout Shin Godzilla, we see him working tirelessly to protect his nation– at one point, his coworkers practically beg him to take a shower. His superior and mentor, Hideki Akasaka, believes for a moment that Yaguchi is motivated solely by a desire to further his political career, before understanding that Yaguchi truly wants to do what he sees as most effective to bring the Godzilla disaster to an end. This may not have been the intention, but there’s still something unsettling about Yaguchi’s character to me– even if we’re to believe he has the best intentions, and he does certainly seem to hesitate the least when it comes to doing what would save the greatest amount of people, he’s still a politician, and still needs to play the game. 

Finally, I was struck by a lack of criticism of the Self-Defense Force. They’re largely presented as a self-sacrificing body willing to do whatever it takes to protect the nation. I’m not sure if it’s because Japanese criticism of bureaucracy and the government had been happening for decades at this point, whereas popular criticism of the military generally ends at a broad anti-war sentiment, or maybe it was simply too complicated to fit in a critique of militarism in this situation. I’ll be the first to admit that as a Filipino, I have no shortage of criticism of the JSDF. There was a moment where my partner and I had the same reaction though: there’s a painting in the background of a scene where Yaguchi is talking to three JSDF officials depicting a handful of military helicopters flying in front of Mount Fuji, and after the scene ended, my partner and I both asked, “What was up with that painting??” 

Shin Godzilla is a dense, devastating film that warrants multiple watches. I’m sure I’ll have different takeaways the next time I watch it. (As it is, this is all I can remember because I forgot I wanted to take notes while watching. My bad!!!) 

I rented it on youtube and watched it in Japanese with English subs.

Here's a link to the original review on Letterboxd.

|NGE Rebuild spoiler|

Damn, the evolution as a character of Shinji, growing as a person

Evangelion made me feel amazing, I don't think I'll ever see something like this again and I love this feeling

At first I felt like I wouldn't like him, but I would love the world building and the things around him, but then at the middle of NGE Rebuild 2.0, he began to change and I liked it, at the anime it happens in other way but I like it too, he's truly a relatable character

He wants to feel loved but don't want to love, he just doesn't want to feel alone, never trying to understand people around him

The end of 3.0+1.0 made me feel at my best, seeing him trying to understand other people around him, seeing that his father was just like him, that he never tried to really be good to Asuka, he became an amazing person as he stopped crying at his past and started growing up

[emetophobiahelp]

Neon Genesis Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time is not safe. Towards the beginning of the movie, when Shinji sees Asuka in the village, he notices something on her neck (redacted for spoiler reasons), and there is a flashback to a significant scene that occurs in 3.0. Immediately following this flashback, Shinji is traumatized and t*u* with full visual and sound. A few scenes later, when Asuka checks up on Shinji while he is moping in the corner, he sees the same thing and has the same reaction. I closed my eyes the second time (as it was quite easy to see coming), but know 100% there was sound at the very least. Asuka also comments that he is “p* again?”

Besides that, the rest of the rebuilds are 100% safe, and worth a watch. The v* scenes in Thrice are very brief and easy to skip on Prime Video, I recommend muting audio and closing your eyes for a few seconds when these flashbacks occur, and you should be good!

Some thoughts on Evangelion, especially about why episodes 25 and 26 are important

Just felt like posting something about Evangelion that I actually originally posted on a different website ages ago (https://www.resetera.com/threads/just-watched-episode-25-26-of-evangelion.472581/page-2#post-71524065), but for some reason I've been thinking about lately. Spoilers for Eva (including the most recent movie), obviously. Here we go:

---

I absolutely love episodes 25 and 26; they're probably my favourite parts of Evangelion.

I think something that doesn't get talked about often enough though is that Evangelion is at its "truest" when it strips away all the fantastical trappings and just lays its soul bare. 25+26 are the show screaming at the viewer, "This is what we've been talking about the entire time, stop obsessing over the goddamn fake sci-fi and pay attention." It's no coincidence that 25+26 contain a lot of imagery of being on a stage, of spotlights and storyboards and "behind-the-camera" work. The show knows it's a piece of fiction behind a 4th wall, that it's a fantasy, a play, but it still wants to try its best to communicate its messages to you. It wants to cast away all of the artificial superficial exterior and just, in its final moments, talk about what is real and true, not in the "universe of Eva", but in real life. "Stop wallowing in fantasies, learn that you have the power to change things, stop hating yourself, learn to love yourself, and live in reality." Or, alternatively, "The show is a fake, but it was the only way I could reach you; come outside and live." That's always been the true message of Eva, as I see it.

I don't think it's any accident that End of Evangelion and 3.0+1.0 also use the "stage" imagery in the end, with both movies bringing you into the real world with live-action/hybrid segments. "Bye-bye, all of EVANGELION" indeed.

Neon Genesis Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo

(3.33 is just the BD home release edit/version, I need to find a source for movie posters and shit for these)

It's difficult to talk about this one in this context because it's one of those things you just need to go into first. It's fucking excellent, I'll say that easily, from start to finish it's a fucking ride, but it's also third in a set of four movies that are very tightly bound and it is distinctly aware of and is using that fact.

It's not even purely a "NO SPOILERS YOU NEED TO GO IN BLIND" thing, though I'd say that's ideal, it's that a lot of what made this work for me is predicated on the two that came before, 2.0 especially. You really do need to watch these as a set.

I'm going to put spoiler/specific detail shit under the Read More, just to have them down somewhere, but suffice to say I'm dying for the cinema release of the fourth movie (which I have found out is coming over a year after the US release because The PAL Delay never truly left)

Dying to see 3.0+1.0 now.

First off, each of these mimics the original show's "Next Time on Evangelion" episode previews at the end after the credits, and like most of the elements these have drawn from the original it uses it very cheekily and cleverly. Which is to say, 2.0's Next Time drops some brand new facts (there being an 8th Eva Unit, when only up to 6 had been mentioned) in and around detailing the events prior to the original show's end/the End of Evangelion's opening events (NERV being sieged, personnel shot or arrested, the dawning of Third Impact). This was preceded by a post-credits scene of Kaworu in Eva Unit 06 beaning a lance through 01's head seemingly to interrupt/prevent Third Impact from taking off.

So 3.0 opening in what is very explicitly, from visual alone, a post-Third Impact world with Asuka and Mari in their Eva Units retrieving a sealed Unit 01 with Shinji inside in a very flashy action sequence against a brand new Angel is an eye-opener of a punch. It's this fascinating thing where 1.0 and especially 2.0 deviate in clear ways that are rather important and obviously meaningful, and thus not even showing a changed or redone version of End of Eva's events suggest it happened more or less exactly as it did before, excepting what was said (in 2.0's Next TIme) about the actions of Unit 08 (Mari's Eva). This is reinforced by Asuka wearing an eye-patch over the eye the Lance of Longinus pierces in EoE, and Unit 02 having a disabled eye to match (purposefully so for aesthetic reasons, I love Asuka and her dedication to keeping an aesthetic): even if Asuka isn't the same Asuka as she was in the original (with her different surname and all), in the end it still broadly happened the same way.

It's all delivered so cleanly through character designs and the Third Impact visuals and starting where it does, it's top tier stuff.

That's basically what I mean when I said above that talking about this one "in this context" was tricky, because basically I just want to gush about shit like that with it. How the entire lengthy battle sequences against the Angels following Shinji's retrieval is a super-long sequence of establishing how far man has come, re-emerging from Third Impact and now able to step to Angels through more than just Evas, and more importantly underlining just how much everyone has changed with the passage of time and why...but Shinji hasn't, as the time between the end of 2.0 and now just passed basically instantly. We didn't get to see what happened, and neither did he, and the unmooring effect is well done.

I have a pretty good idea of where this is all going in a thematic sense (it's about change, in all the ways one can - and should - change, from the simple and surface things to the more personal) but for the actual "where is the story going" i've no idea. 3.0 is completely and entirely new, the remake directive has been thrown off and it's going to new territory. The very title of the fourth, "3.0+1.0", is rife with meaning, though I don't know that I'm thinking of the same meanings.

I can't imagine waiting for these as they came out, though at the same time I kinda wish I did. The waiting must have been a hell of a thing. I'm fucking dying for 3.0+1.0 now.
