You seem to be relaxed.
It seems like the conversation may not align well due to differences in composition from that time.
In other words, the act of pretending to start now will be exposed.
>>2It’s a bit different, but about 20 years ago, the only way to watch TV series was through rentals.
The viewing was based on the revised video format version.
At some point, the TV broadcast version started being available on Amazon Prime, and it has reversed.
>>2Is it really that different?
“Don’t just keep being an otaku forever while playing in the theater, you idiot; are you going to punch me with pure hands?”
Now that I’ve had some breathing room to look around a bit, it’s the difference between telling someone, “Stop being a nerd forever, you idiot,” and hitting them repeatedly with a soft cloth wrapped around my hand.
>>3I don’t really care, but is there a phrase for hitting with pure hands?
In the live-action cosplay part, it feels like “wow…” in the way that otaku in theaters do.
Anyway, there was a strange destructive power in the live-action part…
Well, how should I put it, it was a work that was certainly like Eva.
The most enjoyable flow is a real-time experience.
It’s strange that something like this became a national anime.
>>9Hmmm… a national anime, huh…
The atmosphere makes it feel like something amazing is happening with the animation, but I feel like the content of the movie itself isn’t that impressive.
>>10Perhaps fundamentally, they turned what was supposed to happen in the last two episodes of the TV show into a movie.
Isn’t it that Evangelion became a nationally popular anime starting from the new theatrical version?
>>12Before that, it was already a regular feature in anime specials.
>>14I have the impression that it became popular due to its unusual popularity in karaoke rather than anime.
I created a parody song saying “Go back to the field.”
>>13Is it a combine?!
A work that was misunderstood as a bad ending despite being a happy ending.
I thought back then that he was a mentally weak and fragile protagonist, but isn’t he ridiculously tough?
>>17I don’t know if Shinji is tough, but the environment is just too harsh to be of any reference.
>>21I thought Shin had a mental breakdown, but seeing him reconcile with his incompetent dad through interactions in the village makes me realize he’s stronger than I expected…
A video documenting the gradual transformation of Moscow, where remnants of Soviet colors remain, into the modern era.
I was moved by a Russian who made a video using “Komm, süsser Tod.”
>>19It’s a song with a Beatles-like tune, but with lyrics that are incredibly dark…?
>>24I felt that the mood of the song matched the feeling of the Soviet Union disappearing during my childhood…
>>19I want to see!
>>105I want to see it again, but it’s sunk into the depths of YouTube and I can’t find it…
>>118Oh no!
It was causing a social phenomenon normally from the old theater, right?
>>20The TV version caused a social phenomenon, while the old movie put a damper on that boom.
>>26Since it’s a hot topic, my parents wanted to watch it together, and in the end, I really felt sorry because I didn’t like it either. That’s how it is at my house.
But I think the biggest impact was on the creators’ side.
Well, everyone except Kensuke and Kaworu-kun is really cold, huh…
At the beginning, having the protagonist masturbate in the hospital room and projecting the result on the big screen is already beyond sanity, I think.
>>29I went to see it with an acquaintance.
Huh… really? I was like that.
>>31There is a friend who went to see it with her, who later became his wife…
I have a memory that it was from a rerun of the TV version, but is that just my imagination…?
>>30In this era, there is a gap in information transmission, which is why re-broadcasting is important for watching something after it becomes a topic of conversation.
Thanks to the new play, when I revisited it after a long time, I was surprised to see how much Asuka really likes Shin-chan, and I ended up liking it even more.
I had watched the video format version as preparation, so I had some understanding of the emotional aspects.
Even though it makes me feel exhausted when I watch it, I sometimes want to see it, but basically, I don’t want to watch the old movie.
At that time, I was in the fourth grade of elementary school and went to see it with my cousin who was a middle school student, but as expected, I didn’t understand anything at the age of 9.
I only remember that my cousin’s older sister had a really dark expression on her face.
Looking at this, it seems that Anno, and by extension, young Evangelion fans, desire a world where no one exists, leading to a wave of works that deny the Human Complementation Project.
Even Ultraman explicitly denied it with Dyna.
But in fact, even in Evangelion, the existence of a world with no one in it is denied within the story.
These days, you can follow trending titles immediately through streaming…
Although it is mocked as Anno’s rampage, I think the staff, including Masayuki Tsuruya, were also really into it.
It’s also called bad behavior.
There was a theater on the 5th floor, and we were lined up at the emergency stairs all the way down to the 1st floor, which was my first experience at the old theater.
I think they rewrote the story in a darker direction during the time between dropping the production and the Summer Eva.
I don’t think there are many movies with visuals as disgusting as this one.
I’ve seen a lot of gross movies, but this one is still the most disgusting in many ways.
Until the Human Complementation Project begins, everything is carefully built up, but Shin-chan quickly bounces back in that part where he says he really doesn’t like the Complementation Project.
>>46It’s just a wise time.
In the Teigen edition, it is carefully built up to that point.
I’m collecting back issues of BCLUB, but the topics in the reader’s submission section from 1997 overwhelmingly seem to be Ga-ga-ga > Eva > Raideen.
Overall, Eva looks somewhat distant, like that hugely popular anime…
>>47For otaku who watched this broadcast, it was interesting but ended poorly; general viewers who later learned about the topic and caught up with videos or reruns were excited about what would happen in the movie during that time.
The scene of Unit 02 going on a rampage and the complement scene are amazing and I love them.
Simply put, the animation is really good.
You can really feel an incredible power in the animation, right?
To be honest, the new theater doesn’t even come close to this in terms of visuals.
The creator’s passion or resentment truly comes across.
>>51Since Orange disappeared, I simply feel that the quality of the robot battles has dropped.
>>54There are some CG elements, but it feels like they don’t have any intention to create proper visual highlights, and overall it gives off a sense of being hastily done.
>>58I felt that even with the Psycho Gundam from Zeta Gundam.
Asuka’s “disgusting” feels alienating, but at the same time…
It feels like it also means acknowledging the existence of others.
>>52In other words, if I were to be stored together with Shinji, there would be no point in liking him, so I’m rejecting it.
Anyway, I want all of Shin-chan.
The entire story was so full of harassment that I can’t help but think that Sadamoto’s version was the original plot.
>>53I think there wouldn’t have been as much said if Shinji had been able to prevent the bird funeral.
Well, if it was like that from the start, people would have complained about whether it would still activate the storage anyway.
I expected this level of catharsis from Shin, but when I opened the lid, it turned out to be very ordinary, and I was disappointed.
>>55You’ve grown up, haven’t you, Anno-kun…
>>59No… it hasn’t become that way…
Back in the old days, IG was also there.
Even after going as far as Shin, the new play ultimately did not produce any sharp content that surpassed the battles of men.
>>61I think the footage was good because Orange was involved until the end.
When I was in middle school, there was a vibe that Evangelion was a masterpiece, so I watched the TV series and the continuation, but even as a child, I couldn’t quite understand it.
>>64I feel like that sense of incompleteness has actually created a fan base that seeks a more traditionally well-made Evangelion.
The one with obsession was lent to Studio Ghibli.
The ones who came from outside left because the production period was too long and are now directing their own works.
Director Anno has finished his homework on Eva and has returned to being just an otaku.
>>69What was made after Evangelion is like a kids’ lunch for otaku, with Godzilla, Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Gundam, and Yamato.
>>69I could understand why Director Tsurumaki said that the sharpness from when Gekijouban was at its peak is coming back, because as an otaku, I was really into it.
Did the boom in the old series cool down?
>>70I feel like, in fact, it has accelerated.
>>72Is that even for non-otaku?
>>74I think it’s a work that turned non-otaku into creepy otaku.
>>72After the TV show ended, there was a little break, and I was calm.
It reignited and accelerated in the movie version, didn’t it?
>>79It may be true before the release, but after the release…
>>70I don’t remember how it was around me, but.
When I saw it in the theater, the abrupt ending made me feel like it was somehow cut off, like it was over for me…
>>70For about 1 to 2 years, there was still some excitement, but after that, it was pretty much uneventful around me until the new series.
The original synopsis was probably closer to Sadamoto’s Eva.
I wanted to see this completed as a TV series, but also not so much.
>>78If it had been managed properly and the story had been well put together, I think it would have ended as a popular anime among otaku at the time without becoming a societal phenomenon.
>>81When you think about it, there might be something that attracts people more to unfinished products than to those that are complete from the start.
>>89Like in “2001: A Space Odyssey,” where all the planned explanatory narration that was meant to be deliberately included was deleted, making it incomprehensible without reading the novel.
Whether the boom continues or ends, there is no product development on the scale of the otaku at that time.
There is no doubt that this old play has greatly influenced the creations of later generations.
>>82The relay of life between Hayao Miyazaki and Yoshiyuki Tomino is nice, isn’t it?
Director Anno’s original style isn’t really a gloomy one, after all.
When I watch the TV series now, it feels like after the men’s battle, the drawing quality has really run out of steam… I’m concerned about how many still images they keep using.
The battle against the Apostles also considers energy-saving strategies.
>>85(Just a close-up of the content for the next episode preview)
The other day, when I sang “Soul’s Refrain” at karaoke, the visuals were from the old movie.
In the part where “my fingertips seek you,” Asuka is murmuring that she will kill her while extending her fingertips.
“It’s the scene of the mass-produced machines rebooting all at once with ‘Miracles happen, no matter how many times.'”
It was so terrible that I couldn’t stop laughing.
>>86It feels like a carefully crafted structure.
On the contrary, it seems that the excitement gradually diminished as the new theatrical version started to unfold in a more general-oriented direction.
When it comes to the new theater production and Evangelion, it basically had the image of EOE.
For me, it was rather the TV series that was the core.
“The beauty of incompleteness has been often mentioned in art since ancient times.”
I feel like there won’t be a work that surpasses the old film after seeing something truly incredible.
>>95Since I was just a high school student, it’s had a strong impact on me.
>>95“It’s a remarkably accurate expression to say ‘something amazing.'”
“The way future generations are influenced is like, ‘You bastard, if you’re going to create works like this, then I’ll make something like that too!'”
It’s a way of influencing that’s almost like a provocation.
The men’s fight is seriously filled with such sharp and stylish cuts that it’s scary.
There were scenes where Oneoamis and Top and Kare Kano were also great, but that 19th episode really stands out.
It flows incredibly insane footage with outrageous visual power.
I have a memory of many analysis books being released after the old series, each written freely by individuals.
>>101It has a plain and serious binding, like an academic book.
I remember there were many who were pretending to be philosophical.
In that society at the end of the century, if we don’t push Director Anno to that mental state with that schedule, the old movie won’t come out.
There will never be reproducibility for eternity.
I’ve been waiting for the anime adaptation of ANIMA.
I don’t think we really need that kind of reproducibility.
In the end, I couldn’t wrap it up, so I did the activation chapter!
When my parents got to know Eva through pachinko and then watched the anime, they had an indescribable expression on their faces.
When you watch the TV broadcast version instead of the video format version, it’s clearly conveyed that the changes in the latter half weren’t intentional but rather a last resort.
I feel a sense that the potential boom that was created by the hit of pachinko has come back again.
Even though there were hardly any video media flowing like “Refrain,” everyone in the pachinko parlor knew about it.
The generation of kids who say they love Eva and were exposed to Eva through the new films.
I wonder if they’ve watched the old movie… I want to hear what they think about it…
I wonder if those incredibly heavy-feeling combat scenes in Eva are impossible to achieve in modern times.
>>113If there is no tide pool,
>>113The hand-drawn robot itself is like an out-of-place artifact.
When it comes to Anno, everyone thinks of Evangelion, but Evangelion is considered quite different from Anno’s other works.
Well, it would be boring if there were only commercially packaged works, so I hope we get anime like this from time to time.
After getting older and rewatching the video format version, I realized my impression of it is quite different from back then…
I looked at the differences in the corrections later, and it’s changed a lot, especially after the battle with Zeruel.
>>117The TV version was made with a proper schedule up until then.
Announcement! It seems that there are a lot of people who only know the songs, just like with the Imperial Assault Force.
Back then, it was written in the newspapers that a boom like Yamato would return, but was Yamato really that much of a topic?
>>120The three major booms often discussed in relation to Yamato, Gundam, and Eva.
There are various things after that, and even recently there are titles like Demon Slayer, but I wonder why I can’t feel it at this level.
>>132Because I’ve grown old and no longer have the sensibility to ride the trends.
>>120It’s the first social phenomenon anime, you know, Yamato.
>>135The first social phenomenon anime is Astro Boy, right?
I like Shin, but I still prefer Asuka from the original series.
Recently, there have been fewer heroines like those sharp knives.
>>121While Shikinami is the better kid, I find myself more attracted to Soryu.
>>121I feel like Director Tsurumaki is trying to somehow recreate it with the Machu from Zike Axus, but it still falls short in sharpness.
>>139Isn’t it incomparable that they love you normally, just because the parents are a bit busy?
If I had known at the time, I would have realized it was just like Ideon, but I didn’t know when I was watching it… I was young and it wasn’t available for rental.
>>122If it weren’t for the Ideon stream the other day, I wouldn’t have known about it.
At the nearby movie theater, the posters for the old version of the film and “Princess Mononoke” are displayed side by side.
“So everyone, it would be nice if they just died… I remember being told to ‘live’ while sitting next to each other.”
>>123“I’ll live even if I’m not told to.”
>>123Fight and die.
>>136The theatrical version of Spriggan has completely become a relic of the past…
The TV broadcast version’s animation for the scene of Asuka’s mental contamination is so terrible that it makes me laugh.
I think it was a great decision to change the names of Sōryū-san and Shikinami-san.
If anything, it would have been fine to change the voice actors too.
It’s really like they’re a completely different person in every way.
I think the ability to stand out uniquely was partly because information sharing wasn’t as fast or widespread as it is now.
When I dropped an incomprehensible Sekai-kei work into the midst of the apocalypse theory that was stirring up society, it turned into chaos.
There are elements reminiscent of Ideon, but it’s not exactly the same.
I think I was out of my mind.
I’ve never seen it, but I’m sure it’s a masterpiece! So I bought the DVD box set with my first paycheck.
In the first part of the movie, I remember thinking, “The flow of ‘Kimi no Sei’ isn’t happening at all!!”
It’s too much like “Childhood’s End” and “Ender’s Game” rather than Ideon.
When I saw the plain version of “I think it’s good to laugh,” I realized it has this kind of face…
I can only assume that the TV show was lacking a budget in the latter half, resulting in a nonsensical, unfinished ending.
The first half of the old movie was great, but the second half doesn’t make any sense.
The new one just ends up being a mysterious live-action parody…
I wonder if you couldn’t get into it without being there to feel the vibe of the times.
NERV staff attacked and massacred.
Unit 2 being torn apart messily.
With Lilith’s awakening, the mass-produced model’s face becomes Ayanami.
Forehead pussy
It looks like a continuous live-action video that someone with schizophrenia might be watching.
A giant, half-split face of Ayanami.
Everything is just so gross and amazing.
And everything is at a level of super quality that can no longer be replicated in modern times, which further accelerates the feeling of unease, and it’s amazing.
After this, the anime that came out is really full of that Evangelion vibe.
After Madoka Magica, it’s not just that the number of magical girl battle royale shows increased, but seriously, whether I looked to the right or the left, everything felt like Eva.
I can’t believe how big of an impact it had.
>>145Even in works from completely unrelated genres, the story of Eva tends to go in negative directions all the time.
The main character’s efforts often went completely unrewarded, and that really impacted a lot of things…
In terms of the amount over a certain period, the Demon Slayer boom might be the biggest.
It is because movies with taglines like “So everyone should just die” are trending in the Sankei Shimbun’s letter to the editor section.
An article said that maybe there isn’t enough love from God and that we should believe in Christianity more.
Demon Slayer is based on original material and is created with a basic sense of fidelity, and it doesn’t particularly have a huge impact on the industry in terms of style or direction.
Anime as entertainment content is becoming increasingly commercially refined, and I believe that more hits surpassing Evangelion will continue to come out in the future.
That’s not what I mean.
>>151I understand that there’s something appealing about products that are fundamentally flawed.
Demon Slayer became a huge hit, but there haven’t been many manga that followed in its footsteps like with Madoka Magica.
>>152What they’re doing is simply straightforward and classical.
It’s difficult to figure out what to imitate in order to become like Demon Slayer, even if you try to imitate it.
>>152Extracting elements is nothing but a patchwork of existing works.
>>170Could it be about Eva…?
>>170It feels like a combination of JoJo, Bleach, and Saint Seiya in a way…
I remember being kind of let down because the scene where the base is attacked was just like Blue Christmas.
>>153There was a MAD that showed the original references for each scene in Star Wars Episode 4, but I think that can be done for Evangelion as well.
It’s not common to come across a video that gives off a level of resentment that feels like someone might die from it.
“Things like Demon Slayer are focused on entertainment and really aim to provide enjoyment.”
Even Conan consistently achieves box office revenues of 10 billion yen every year, which is truly incredible for anime content.
It’s not like Conan has had any influence on subsequent anime or anything like that at all.
There was even a term called “sekaikei,” but I haven’t heard it recently…
>>157I think there are relatively consistent works like “Weathering With You” that have similar themes, even if the dialogue is minimal.
Well, with things like Demon Slayer, there’s a clear original manga, so I think the vibe of the boom is different.
>>158But it’s clear that Jujutsu was influenced by popular manga…
Director Anno is someone who really loves parodies based on original material.
Eva left such a vivid impression that it was overwritten to the point where no one even noticed the parodies.
>>159If you search a bit now, you can actually find the original source.
Well, I think it would be better if a work like this never comes out again.
Considering the creator’s physical and mental well-being.
This work could only be created under a schedule that would push someone like Anno to the brink, receiving slander and death threats from viewers, leading to a complete mental breakdown.
Some works that have hit reasonably well among Evangelion followers have come out.
>>165Clearly a copy of Eva, but with Fafner going in the completely wrong direction.
>>171It was said that all the students in Shinji’s class were candidates for pilots, but I thought that if we delve into that, it would probably lead to Fafner.
Since Evangelion, there has undoubtedly been an increase in anime that end unresolved.
>>167Although Eva itself hasn’t ended in a cliffhanger.
I believe the core of Demon Slayer is its sense of dialogue.
I don’t think I can imitate that.
The drawings are too random, so I don’t really feel like imitating them.
>>169The Demon Slayer drawing is just random, isn’t it?????
Demon Slayer is interesting, but
I don’t understand the reason it became popular other than being genuinely interesting.
>>172Corona
>>172Interesting works are monopolized by adults, and the manga aimed at us was only watered-down stuff. The kids who wanted manga from our generation couldn’t go outside during the pandemic and got hooked on what they saw online.
I feel that perceptions of the “Sekai-kei” genre have changed quite a bit before and after COVID.
I came to realize around that time that the world may not be as wide or as deep as adolescents think it is.
I later realized that I liked Isomitsu Yoshimura’s elements.
It doesn’t contain much of Anno’s elements.
>>179I also didn’t feel excited at all watching the new play like this.
>>179When I read that person’s works, I thought, “Aren’t there a lot of important developments and settings that this person is considering?!”
On the credits, it only mentions that there was one script and two illustrations done.
I heard they were making a mystery book about Eva (lol).
After extracting the elements, it’s like the existing patchwork.
Every work is like that.
>>181Most of Gainax’s works are either anime or special effects, so it’s just easy for otaku to understand the references.
Eva didn’t just throw it away; she was given another chance to try again.
Speaking of Eva’s mystery books, anything inside sold well.
Actually, people who have never read this area misunderstand that it’s written about Eva, assuming that it contains something about it.
>>183There were also some cases where the names were incorrect, and it made me wonder if they really saw it.
I thought about tearing it up because I was young, but I didn’t.
The “Demon Slayer” TV series became popular just before the COVID-19 pandemic.
The impact of COVID was on the movies.
I think the originality of Demon Slayer lies in its dialogue, but it’s hard to put into words for someone to copy it.
The setting and story are classic, so imitating them becomes clichéd.
Is it because the receiver is seeing something they’ve never seen before?
Just because it’s something I’ve seen before doesn’t mean I’ll feel the same way about it…
I think it was the straightforwardness of the story in Demon Slayer that made it accepted by people of all ages at that timing.
If we roughly define the idea that the protagonist’s choices change the world as “Sekai-kei,” then
It feels like the opposite has been trending lately.
It feels like no matter what I think or choose, I can’t leave any scars on the world.
