Neon Genesis Evangelion (Japanese: 新世紀エヴァンゲリオン, Hepburn: Shinseiki Evangerion, lit. "New Century Gospel") is a Japanese mecha anime television series produced by Gainax and Tatsunoko Production, directed by Hideaki Anno and broadcast on TV Tokyo from October 1995 to March 1996.

Evangelion is set fifteen years after a worldwide cataclysm, particularly in the futuristic fortified city of Tokyo-3. It recast the saintly inventor/father as a sinister figure, and the enthusiastic teenage protagonist as a vacillating introvert, a deconstruction of classic mecha anime tropes. The series features archetypal imagery derived from Shinto cosmology as well as Jewish and Christian mystical traditions, including Midrashic tales and Kabbalah. The psychoanalytic theories of Freud and Jung also feature prominently. Neon Genesis Evangelion received critical acclaim but also garnered controversy. Particularly controversial were the last two episodes of the show. In 1997 Hideaki Anno and Gainax released the feature film The End of Evangelion, showing the ending from a different perspective. The original TV series led to a rebirth of the anime industry and has become a cultural icon.

DAICON short Tokusatsu films

The Nihon SF Taikai science fiction convention is an annual event in Japan where fans of sci-fi and fantasy gather. It alternates locations each year and the two locations give it its nicknames. When held in Tokyo is is known a TOKON but when it is held in Osaka, it is known as DAICON.

In the early 1980s, a group of enthusiastic young filmmakers and animators got together to produce short films for DAICON. The most famous of these is an animated intro for the 1983 DAICON IV.

These amateurs would later go on to form the legendary studio GAINAX that would produce such classics as Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water and Neon Genesis Evangelion before imploding and fracturing in the late 2000s. Their legacy continues in studio Kharas under the supervision of Hideaki Anno and Studio TRIGGER while the remains of the original GAINAX limps along while hounded by debt and lawsuits.

However, back during their DAICON days they did not just produce animation. Hideaki Anno in particular was a huge fan of tokusatsu and he and some of his friends (including Shin Godzilla co-director Shinji Higuchi) produced several short toku films for the convention. The first of these was Aikoku Sentai Dai-Nippon (Patriotic Squadron Big Japan) a parody of Super Sentai that made light of the rough relationship between Japan and Russia/The Soviet Union.

The theme is a filk of 1981′s Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan’s Opening theme.

Another of their parodies is Kaiketsu Noutenki (Swift Hero Noutenki) which is based on the 1977 Toei Tokusatsu series Kaiketsu Zubat. This short spawned several sequels including Kaiketsu Noutenki 2: Pure Love in Minato City, Kaiketsu Noutenki in USA and Roleplaying Noutenki in Seoul. Below is the original short

Hideaki Anno stars at the title character in a fairly straight (aside from the obvious replacement of Ultraman Jack with Anno in an Ultraman jacket with no helmet) version of The Return of Ultraman.

That series was always Anno’s favorite and his love for it shows.

Their most ambitious and longest project was the 72 minute film Yamata no Ororchi no Gyakushu (The Eight-Headed Serpent Strikes Back). This ambitious kaiju film was so well-received it got licensed and released on home video by Bandai! This launched special effect creator Shinji Higuchi into a professional career.

youtube

This has been a short look at Daicon Film/Gainax’s early tokusatsu fan films. I hope you enjoy watching them!

Happy Viewing!

WHOOPS A DOODLE

Okay I tried to attempt making my first lets play video and somehow i forgot to enable game sound, lol! Just hearing my voice over gaping silence would be boring as hell, but especially bad because Ciel Fledge has an absolutely AWESOME soundtrack and at several times I just plain stopped and jammed out, haha! I was so excited for it and it was even better than I expected!!!!

But also I made a few flubs here and there and i was nervous and awkward so its probably best that i rerecord it. Cos I was dumb and decided to name the characters after my ocs and then halfway thru i was like OH WAIT people first discovering me on youtube would have no clue who those people are, lol! Plus I got super hyper attatched to Ciel immediately and felt like I couldnt really roleplay as grumpy Gremory. I immediately started talking to the damn screen already I REALLY CHERISH MY VIRTUAL CHILLLLLD

and AAAA the worldbuilding already has me hooked!! it isnt just a shoddy sci fi setting in name only like one of the Weird Android Games i’m gonna post about soon. like there is SO MUCH deep effort put into how the logistics of the government work in this post apocolyptic world, and loads of optional lil details you could miss! like for example you start the game with one expected intro tutorial mail in your inbox, but also three extra ones in the opened section. And they’re in-progress news updates on the currently unspecified ‘disaster’ that happened to sector 5. All dated several weeks apart and being like ‘praise to our glorious leaders! the battle is going great! don’t question anything!’, ‘never forget the losses we had at this battle today, we will rise like the phoenix and defeat our enemies!’ It raises even more curiosity about what happened, and gives a lil nugget of extra info-now we know the disaster was a battle with an enemy of some sort, or at least that’s how the news team is framing it... hmm...

and AAA ATHE BOSSA NOVA MUSIC I think thats the term for it?? and the really huge resolution awesome graphics??? and the sheer amount of detail to everything??? and holy shit THE FEATURES ALSO AAA THE FEATURES!! you can pick gender neutral pronouns or other titles for your protagonist! and even though they’re a faceless self insert like in the Princess Maker games you actually get to choose stuff to make them be like you! you can pick a bunch of backstory choices that give you different stat boosts to the child you’re raising, and apparantly there will be more choices during the game to change your parent’s stats and thus unlock more boost traits?? they’re a big presence in the game?? in this parenting game?? your parent actually has a stats??? aaaaa just as a person who’s a big fan of this genre i am just SO APPRECIATIVE of the changes they made to the formula! it really shows that the creators know A LOT about the genre and about common player complaints and wishes! like there’s a sort option on the list of jobs and classes and you can do alphabetical and by cost and stuff!!! AND YOU CAN DRESS YOUR KIDDIE UP IN EVEN MORE COSTUMES THAN USUAL!! YOU CAN PICK OUTFIT PARTS SEPARATELY!! ITS SO EXCITING!!!

and AAAA I’m so excited for all the new features that’ve never been in this genre before!! there’s this cool fully animated system for showing your adventure battle things, and a unique match-3 puzzle game battle instead of turn based or top down fighting. And you get ‘battles’ as milestones in your different aspirations too! this unique fight style can work in different ways for stuff like a swimming class test or cooking a cake! and also there’s a way bigger focus on story and worldbuilding and awesomeness!! and you can make friends and your kid can make friends and you can take them as party members together into adventures instead of only as romantic interests to get special endings. And that means there’s also lots of platonic friend choices and even stuff like friend values with her school teacher who will come and fight post apocolypse mutants together, yo! O_O and you can unlock bonus multiplier trait things and equip them to help at training your different stats! you get two of them at the start from your mom/dad/parent’s backstory choices, and then can get more from.. mystery things?? milestones I assume! cos there’s this system of achievements being framed as milestones set by the adoption company, so the government sends you rewards for being an exemplary citizen. There’s so much worldbuilding even in the lil gameplay chocies aaa!!! And you can talk to your lil kiddo and i love her and you can talk to her and do so many more bonding activities than expected and TALK TO HER AAA!! I actually have a form of direct interaction instead of just ordering her to do stuff. And the tutorial seemed to imply that she’ll develop like.. personality values?? And get goals and like or dislike certain jobs?? I’m so excited?? Aaaa???

god this game looks SO GOOD and lol i spent like a whole hour just going SQUEEEEEE at all the cool lookin things and rambling forever and then i lost the footage :P but i’m realizing that maybe a lot of my WOWWWW moments wouldn’t make sense without the context of having played other stuff in the genre like Princess Maker? so maybe i might do a short vid on that after the first episode of ciel fledge or something. not a full LP but just a summary of the goods and bads of that series and why i’m SOOOOOOO relieved to have a new entry in the genre that’s lacking all the.. grossness. cos seriously no matter how addictive the gameplay is, PM has a stupid gainax anime thing of sexualizing the daughter and treating it more like a waifu raising simulator T_T Ciel actually looks like a child and acts like a child and you act like a proper parent!! and its wholesome!! well its got dark stuff but the dark is ‘post apocolypse’ not INCEST! aaaaa im just so happy and i love my virtual daughter and i havent even really started playing yet haha!!!

#bunni plays ciel fledge #aaaaaaaaa

DARES 2017

Dares that I may or may not use during this years NaNoWriMo ^__^

Updated: 10/30/2017

Dare: In a tense moment of conflict, have your characters suddenly break out into singing discuss their motives in a Musical number. BP: Have the Villain and lackeys look on in complete bewilderment. DBP: Everyone in the scene joins in on the Musical Number! (And I mean everyone!) TBP: Instead of a Musical Number, have it instead be interpretive dance!

Dare: Introduce a bird into your story, because remember "the bird is the word" and words are sacred in NaNoWriMos. The bird can be any of any species (I don't want to discriminate against certain avians!), from a pet budgie to fat pigeon that keeps appearing from scene to scene. BP: The bird in question is a Penguin. DBP: Said Penguin appears at the very end of your novel to “Gainax” your ending with its congratulations (See Gainax ending for reference!).

Dare: Your characters have gotten lost. Start the next chapter you write, in a completely new and unrelated location from the end of the previous one.

Dare: Sorry, but the next chapter you write is completely filler. It cannot advance the plot in any shape or form. BP: The Filler Chapter is never referenced again within your novel. DBP: If a minor character was introduced in said Filler Chapter, when / if they show up later in the novel, no one knows who they are and threaten to call the police if they don’t leave them alone!

Dare: Create a list of either 10, 12, 20 or 100 ideas (Or Dares picked from this very thread!). For the next chapter, whenever you start a new scene, roll a dice (d10, d12, d20, d100 respectfully) or randomly generate a number within your list size (Using a site like Random.org). The idea / dare matching that number is now your next scene (Reroll, if you’ve already used the idea or dare.)! The Random Number Gods (RNG) have spoken! Continue this process till you have completed your chapter. BP: If you actually own dice used for Tabletop Roleplay! I salute you and you also gain +1 internets (Cashable during the Apocalypse!).

Dare: Here's a dare for NaNoWriMo veterans: reference every previous NaNo story you've written. BP: Work the verbatim titles of every previous NaNo into your story in a logical, coherent way. DBP: Include a cameo appearance of at least one character from every previous story. Super Bonus Bragging Rights: If this means you have to reference eighteen different stories.

Dare: Have a character who brags that they're a master of language, but only knows how to say "Those are not my cabbages!" in all the languages they claim to know. DP: If they sell cabbages TP: If they're actually able to use this "skill" to advance the plot. DBP: If they are their cabbages. TBP: If they hate cabbage

Dare: Have a scene take place in a coffee shop. BP: It takes place in the coffee shop you're writing the scene in. DBP: If the characters see and comment on you.

Dare: Your character(s) explore an abandoned building BP: They find something important/of value DBP: They hadn't realized they needed this object until they found it TBP: They'd never been in the building before, and/or had no reason to be in it

Dare: Include a cow in your novel BP: if the cow is missing DBP: if your MC spends at least 500 words looking for it

Dare: Have an incredibly comfortable old orange squishy chair. It MUST be straight orange. If you make it a color pattern you sacrifice all bonus points. BP: If people fight over who sits in it DBP: If someone gets injured and uses this fact to guilt their way into sitting in the chair.

Dare: Include an object from Warehouse 23. BP: If you take the first object it throws at you.

Dare: have MC believe that the world will end in 4 days, 17 hours, 12 minutes and 21 seconds. BP: if the world actually ends. DBP: if the world ends 10 seconds later than planed

Dare: Include a magical girl transformation sequence BP: your character has no idea what’s happening to them DBP: your character is a very stereotypical mans mans and ends up in a fluffy pink tutu TBP: the character with the transformation sequence is your villain and it changes their entire way of thinking QBP+ A COOKIE: during the sequence, surrounding characters sing a anime sounding song to accompany the transformation
