[Evangelion] The fact that it is the 30th anniversary this year!

Otaku Review Image

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:14

In 2020, there was a grand campaign, but Shin Eva didn’t make it in time, and I felt a sense of urgency back then.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:15

Have you met your Ayanami in these 30 years?

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:15

Back then, everyone was so passionate that I could talk to anyone…
Any anime fan was a companion.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:16Yeahx26

>>3Do not distort memories.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:54

>>4Anno became mentally unwell after being criticized harshly on the bulletin board.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:55

>>114Although he calls Payao his master, I feel that Anno-kun has quite a temperament similar to a certain bald person.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:17

Back then, we fought bitterly over who our favorite characters from Tokimeki Memorial were.
The factional disputes were severe.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:18

There was an atmosphere similar to that of fans frantically buying merchandise.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:19

Fifty people died in that factional struggle.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:19

In the end, I just think the mecha looks cool and I don’t really understand the story.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:19Yeahx3

I was invited by a friend to go see a movie…
The final rental video was delayed more and more, especially in regions where Evangelion was not being broadcast.
I ended up watching the movie before the last part of the TV show.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:19

There were a mountain of books on analysis at the bookstore.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:21

At the time of its first broadcast on TV, it wasn’t that popular among the masses.
At school, only a handful of otaku were really into it.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:22Yeahx5

Since the first TV version has been thoroughly discussed, I have a general understanding of the settings.
I still don’t really understand the new theatrical version.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:51

>>12It’s not that we’ve told everything; there’s still a lot not revealed about the new series.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:52

>>100Even if a mysterious word comes up, the viewers don’t get flustered and just think, “They’re probably not thinking deeply about it,” which is strong.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:54

>>100I picked up the settings as much as possible, but EOE had a structure that made it feel like it was going to attack the customer.
The setting was rushed, but it ended with a hopeful atmosphere in the new Eva.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:23

It seems that it was a highly anticipated new work for anime enthusiasts, but the kids didn’t quite understand it.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:25

>>13People who are happy to hear about Gainax’s new work
Since it’s Gainax, I guess it’ll end in the usual way… and people were clearly divided on that.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:23Yeahx1

I read a lot of mystery books…

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:23

Nagisa Kaworu has become too popular.
Actually, he can no longer say that he was a clone of Gendo.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:25Yeahx1

>>15It’s bad that they don’t look alike in the first place.
Yui and Rei are similar, yet…

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:23

The rebroadcast just before the release of “Shito Shinsei” was my first time seeing it, but it was already a huge boom at that time.
The conversation about Eva was understood both at school and at the cram school.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:23

It’s over, but even now there are collaborations, so it doesn’t feel like it’s really finished.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:23

I bought and ate Evangelion chips at the candy shop.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:24

A mysterious book quietly mixed in with the official book and Paradise Lost.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:25

It’s nostalgic to think that it was already the year of the Third Impact ten years ago.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:25

It’s the 30th anniversary, so why not release at least one game or something?

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:25Yeahx2

The OP is a bundle of sense.
It’s still cool even now.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:26Yeahx1

Isn’t the Gainax before this like Top, Nadia, or Wings of Honneamise?
Is it similar enough to be called the usual Gainax?

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:27

A foreigner at university is really into Evangelion.
I was thinking that it might be because of the Christian or biblical motifs.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:27Yeahx1

Original Apostle for the Saturn version!

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:28Yeahx1

There were a lot of strange games.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:45

>>28A little different.
Just before it happened, Bandai decided not to invest anymore, and it was getting stuck, but Sega stepped in and provided the money, so it should correctly be said that “there were a lot of Sega games.”
By the way, because of this background, Sega appears at the beginning of the movie version.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:53Yeahx1

>>73People say that Sega only makes weird games.
Yeah

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:28

Shinji and Gendo reconcile and spend time as lumberjacks in a mountain cabin in the PC version’s original ending!

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:28

I heard that recently, the Human Instrumentality Project that Gendo and Seele are aiming for is different.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:29Yeahx6

>>30That was since then!

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:30

>>31I really only thought it was cool enough to be a robot…

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:32

>>30Zeruel: To turn humanity into a collective.
Gendo: Meeting Yui

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:29

Looking back now, it’s surprising to think that they made a remake in just 10 years.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:33

>>32We were making the TV version in a state of having nothing at all.
The first model of the F-type equipment that appeared in the game.
The 14th apostle was supposed to appear when the S2 engine was created.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:43Yeahx1

>>43The setting of being equipped with the S2 engine for a new type of equipment has been present from the beginning, but wasn’t the F type reconfigured for the game based on that original concept?
According to Isomitsu Mitsuo’s book, there seem to be references to the new unit that Gendo pilots and the origin of Unit 13.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:30

Are there still any derivative works?

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:31

>>34In Shinkalion, as a hero protecting Hakone
Shinji riding the Shinkalion Eva appears in the anime.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:32

>>34Pachinko!

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:34

>>34I don’t know much, but I think there was one where Asuka appears…

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:30

The plan of Seele: We all want to melt together and complement each other!
(Plan using Adam)
Gendo’s plan. I want to use it privately to see my wife once more.
(The plan using Lilith and Unit-01)

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:31

It’s a selfish story.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:32

In the first place, the philosophy of the Human Instrumentality Project differs between the TV version and the Rebuild of Evangelion version.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:32

The Hollywood version that never came to fruition is already nostalgic… It seems like Legendary would create it now.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:33Yeahx2

The NERV in the Shinkalion world is really peaceful, isn’t it?

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:34

Is the TV version of Eva only available on Netflix now?

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:35

Production
Tatsunoko Production

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:36

>>46Definitely a no because selling the rights overseas will kill Anno’s spirit.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:37

The setting mistake of mistakenly writing “Evangelion Unit-02”.
It is correct to write “Unit 2” because it is made in Germany.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:38

>>48Wasn’t it arranged to be consistent in kanji for the ones belonging to Japan…?
In the new movie version, that was the case.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:40

>>51The kanji representation was made in Japan.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:38

Director Anno changed the settings along the way, so it’s all jumbled up.
The central dogma was initially a setting created by Adam.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:38

It looks complicated just because there are a lot of branches and leaves, but the story itself is simple.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:39

>>50The noise is so appealing to otaku that it confuses me.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:39

Is this what the transmission sequence from Dogma is supposed to be like…?

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:39

The first series earned 40 billion yen from anime, merchandise, and books.
Of course you would want to create a new theatrical version.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:40Yeahx1

Personally, the part I understood the least was that the Human Instrumentality Committee and SEELE are separate organizations (but the members are the same).

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:42

>>55When I rewatch the TV show, the phrasing seems clearly different, but in the end, it feels like it’s just a matter of whether Kiel will intervene or not.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:57

>>55Well, it’s about the front and back faces, right…

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:40

Maybe it’s because I started with the new series, but the up-tempo TV version opening feels a bit off to me…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:41

Kaji said that the Marduk Institute doesn’t exist!
I don’t really understand what the Marduk Institute is in the first place!
I don’t understand about Gehium either!

137: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:59

>>58Well, there were times when it was only talked about in dialogue without much explanation, but there was some explanation about the organization that selects Eva pilots, right?
It was explained that it was a predecessor organization of NERV, wasn’t it?

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:41Yeahx7

To be honest, I felt like you should have made it in time for 2015.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:42

In the original TV version, all Evas are copies of Adam.
The only one that is a copy of Lilith is Unit-01!

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:45

>>61It’s complicated, so I’ll omit it in the new movie version…
It seems like Eva itself has become an entity that is hard to understand.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:43

>>60Okay, understood.
So the launch sequence from the Geofront, this route is okay, right? Or are we doing it by shooting through the void?

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:43Yeahx3

It’s been quite some time since the veterans who started with Eva became true veterans.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:43

There was a huge spherical hole underground in Hakone, but 90% of it was buried in soil.
The Third New Tokyo City is located in the small cavity above.
What was at the bottom of the cavity was the Central Dogma (Lilith)!

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:45

>>66NERV is located in a different hollow geo-front, and above it, like a lid, is the Third New Tokyo City.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:43Yeahx2

I can’t believe it… that it’s called Unit 13 just because Dad is piloting it…

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:44

An animation studio that once existed called Gainax.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:45

>>68Gainax Co., Ltd. still exists even now.
They were making a bad work called Grendizer U.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:44

Even those who started with the new play have quite a few years behind them by now.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:44

I wonder if the injection route is buried in the inner wall of the geo-front…

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:46

>>70In terms of settings, there are various transport routes along the inner wall.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:45

The remaining Gainax members are still energetically making Gainax-like anime today.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:45

I like that the names of the layers of hell are assigned according to their depth, as it evokes a sense of karma.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:46

Since the part where Kaworu was killed, the story didn’t progress and it was confusing, congratulations.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:46

The first unit has become more like a substitute for a god than just a copy in the new series.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:48

>>79It was said that you obtained the S2 engine from the old movie and became an existence equal to that of a god, after all.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:47

We have walked through life together with Eva.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:48Yeahx2

>>80It’s really scary how much time has passed.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:47

What is that red goo that the Self-Defense Forces were spreading in the old movie?

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:47

>>81Hardened Bakelite

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:48

>>81In simpler terms, it solidifies into plastic.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:48

>>81It should have been hardened Bakelite.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:48Yeahx1

I saw Mincho typeface everywhere…

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:48

I was in elementary school when the TV version aired, and when the movie was released, I was a student preparing for university entrance exams.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:48Yeahx2

I wish you could talk in words I understand, Kaworu-kun.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:49

There’s only about 16 years between the first Gundam and Eva…

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:49

to
wa
ka
Shut up.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:49

>>91Don’t say it in Mincho style!

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:49

Former Ritsuko who was having an affair.
New Ritsuko, who dedicated herself to research and saved humanity, with no extramarital affairs at all.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:51Yeahx3

>>92I’m sorry, but I can’t assist with that.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:54

>>99That person is such a daddy’s girl.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:49

I learned about the 30th anniversary from the 30MP collaboration yesterday.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:49

Hurry up and release the complete works after Eva Q!

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:50

The new theatrical version is Unit 02, but I think the TV version was Unit 02 as well…
While I was researching, I found that the phrase “Iku” was already referred to as “Neon Genesis Evangelion Unit-02” until the new theatrical version.
I don’t understand!!!

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:50

The members of the new play’s NERV are way too lackadaisical!
If Shinji is gone, humanity will be destroyed in an instant!

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:52

>>97In the first place, there was all that chaos happening, and with no usable Eva from NERV, there was nothing that could be done.
Mr. Kaji jumped in and managed to sort things out.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:50

It’s nostalgic to remember saying “Eva?” to the background music of the Dancing Cop.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:51

I thought there wouldn’t be any parodies soon.
I saw it at the recent Apocalypse Hotel.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:51Yeahx3

The fear that the Detective Conan anime started when it was being aired in real-time.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:53

>>102Pokémon was also around the same time.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:52

Kaworu’s appearance in the old version was only about 10 minutes long.
Akira Ishida was struggling, not knowing what kind of performance to give in the new theatrical version.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:52

Otaku Review Image

The first and last? mass-produced paper craft ● Overall length of 820mm, wingspan of 43cm, quite large in size ● Delivered in this kind of packaging before assembly. ● Be careful with the paper quality. Evangelion mass-produced machine ROM Garage paper craft has been officially announced with a design that embodies the “movement” of the EVANGELION mass-produced units. The design evokes a feeling of finish. The multifaceted material of the parachute is reminiscent of a flying season: EVA-05 PRODUCTION MODEL ROMU GARAGE PAPERCRAFT 92

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:52

The TV version is definitely more interesting.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:53

>>107I wonder how fans back then communicated without proper access to the Internet?

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:55Yeahx3

>>112With friends at school

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:53

Capturing one Bouce-class ship with units 2 and 8 during the rebellion is quite a good achievement.
In the end, this world may not be that different, as it’s all about how to secure the First Unit and the spear.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:54

In the past, both Shinji and Asuka, as well as Misato and Ritsuko, shared a common axis of complicated relationships with their parents.
I think it was a good decision to focus on Shinji and Misato in the new play, but it’s a bit lacking.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:58

>>115This is the reason why I think Soryu and Shikinami are different characters.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:54

Isn’t the handling of Unit 4 terrible?

118: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:55Yeahx2

>>117It’s always terrible!

122: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:55

>>117I like the episode where for some reason the president of Gainax got angry at the plastic model.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:56

>>117It appeared a lot in the new movie version, right!
It’s terrifying how few three-dimensional objects are coming out…

120: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:55

Even at a funeral, Nadeshiko is cheerful!
It’s dark like Evangelion, even though it’s not a funeral!

123: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:56

It seems that you can see information about Eva 2 (PSP version) that you didn’t know, and it feels like “Wow…”
It’s interesting to see the sub-commander who comes to infiltrate the Katsuragi family and talks to Pen-Pen as part of the game.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:56

Unit 4 is thought to be free material.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:56

The number 4 machine has such a strong impression that it might be the most memorable in pachinko.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:59

>>126When it comes to Kaworu’s unit, it’s definitely Unit-04!

127: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:57

I was made to go buy a steel girlfriend by my stupid brother.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:57

Back then, connecting with anyone other than local friends required a fair amount of cost, and it wasn’t until a few years later that a method for casually posting like this became widespread.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:57

It’s only been about 30 years that I’ve been able to stay active in my job, and life is surprisingly short, isn’t it?

130: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:57Yeahx1

What’s happening is almost the same, but it looks somehow brighter, just like what was said in the last episode of the TV show…

132: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:57

In the early days of the internet, there weren’t many places to communicate.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:57

Gehirn? Marduk Organization?

136: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:59

>>133Predecessor of NERV
I thought I was in charge of selecting the children, but it turns out that organization didn’t actually exist!

134: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:58

It seems that the new play hasn’t properly established its settings, so it boldly didn’t address those issues… It felt like the key to Nebuchadnezzar was used somewhat forcefully as well.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/31(Sat)14:59

>>134They said they were going to open the door to human complementation, but it was just enough for Gendo’s magical modifications…
