It was forgiven because it was in the past.
Congratulations
Congratulations!
It was probably much worse back then.
Right now, it feels like the response has started and everything is getting vague.
In the past, there was a trend where being an otaku meant being critical, but now people tend to try to compliment instead.
>>3
I wonder if it was allowed…
Isn’t it something that caused a huge uproar?
It was burning, right?
Even in an era when the internet wasn’t that widespread, it was still like that…
I was properly called crap and made a target for jokes.
The believers were just arbitrarily deifying that performance, thinking it had some meaning.
At that time, all I could think was, what is this?
>>9Hayao Miyazaki saw this and said, “Anno! Are you okay?”
I heard that you called.
>>13That too kind uncle.
>>13It’s not with the force of an exclamation, but rather gently as if asking, “Are you okay…?” It feels like a kind way of saying, “It’s alright, I’ve made many mistakes in the past too…” and then the Ghibli staff asking Miyazaki, “Who are you talking to?”
>>122So kind…
>>122I was seriously worried about it…
Right now, it seems to be allowed simply because it’s regarded as a masterpiece…
By the way, I have to say that Eva has been a bit off since before the final episode.
Congratulations
The part where Kaworu-kun was defeated was seriously interesting, but I couldn’t close my mouth in a bad way for the remaining two episodes.
The active fan creation was definitely driven by the dissatisfaction in the latter part.
In the end, I don’t understand what kind of conclusion this had.
The part where everyone became LCL in the old movie and felt good together?
But even so, there are already people like Kaji-san who are dead…
Shin Eva feels like this, doesn’t it?
It started to feel strange around the time Asuka began to act weird.
>>20But I thought the era of robot anime had come with the men’s battle…
Since then, there hasn’t been a proper battle between Shin-chan and Unit 01!
I thought they would settle it in the movie, but instead, I was shown something even more confusing.
It’s better than the old movie version…
In the completely still elevator, Kaworu-kun is there the whole time.
I remember thinking, “Is this a broadcast accident?” during the scene where they were holding something.
I don’t really understand, but it feels like it’s resolved, so that’s good, right?
It’s like the foreign drama “The Prisoner No. 6.”
I didn’t know at the time, but this kind of thing became popular.
>>26The popular ones are up to episode 19 and episode 24, I suppose…
Episodes 20 to 24 are the ones that worked hard on the past storyline and used energy-saving animation.
Episodes 25 and 26 are the ones where the budget ran out and there was nothing that could be done.
I was wondering where the mass-produced units that the second unit was fighting in the preview disappeared to.
The sponsor pulled out, so we don’t have any money!
>>28Why did you get off?!
It was definitely interesting up to a certain point, but I wonder what happened…
>>29I think the director’s mind was at its limit.
I’m curious about the reactions of viewers who watched the final two episodes of “The Last Reaper” in real-time, given the climactic feel.
Due to budget and sponsor circumstances, Ultraman and Gundam had their finales moved up and were abruptly canceled.
Eva was made to run until the end.
I don’t understand.
>>31It’s amazing that everything other than Eva hasn’t dropped in quality even with its cancellation.
Whether the movie was decided at that time or not.
I’ve seen various endings, but in the end, isn’t this one good?
>>34No, Shin Eva is more refreshing, right?
It felt like the ending was confusing because the earlier parts were much more interesting…
After that, the movie was released and I watched it.
The first part is crap.
I saw the latter part.
What was that… hmm.
It felt like that.
>>36But it was great to see Souryu and Misato having their moments of dominance…
The episode just before the finale is already…
Huh? What is this? It seems like that’s how they felt.
>>37It’s just like the new theater.
I found it strange that I didn’t remember the final episode of the couple’s anime that I loved so much.
When I looked back, it was worse than the thread image, so no wonder I didn’t remember it.
>>38Well, even if they do the original episode properly, it’s still rather half-hearted…
At that time, it was actively analyzed as fresh and profound anime.
In the TV version, it dragged on, and instead of providing resolution in the two movies, it only added more mysteries, but the fans happily speculated.
After that, they started the new theatrical version again, but left it unattended for 9 years from Q to Shin.
It was such a shoddy conclusion that most people’s magic wore off just when everyone was about to forget.
If I suddenly bumped into the transfer student Ayanami running with a piece of bread in her mouth and was shown a world where I could see upskirts, I would be shocked!
>>40When I see that, it makes me sad as if the existence of Ayanami has been denied.
What is this??? I rewatched the final episode several times, but I couldn’t find any answers from my past self…
I wasn’t interested in Evangelion, but I remember my brother liked it and said it was better not to have watched the movie.
The behind-the-scenes story of pushing the boundaries to avoid a broadcast accident was interesting, but it’s just filling time, right?!
>>44Don’t reveal the behind-the-scenes stories of making children!
This work was already a big deal even during the era of computer communications, not the internet.
In the past, it was not allowed at all.
It annoys me when people who weren’t around at the time talk about things incorrectly based on assumptions or casual hearsay.
The Nifty forum was totally out of control.
There were also quite a few mysterious otaku pretending to be backers.
>>48There has always been contrarian thinking in every era…
Since there is this and the old movie, I can’t help but appreciate that Shin Eva has at least properly concluded.
He said he got depressed after seeing threads on the internet discussing how to kill Anno on NHK’s Professional.
>>50It didn’t work.
>>50It’s easy to say anything, especially when it comes to depression…
I dislike it to the point that I haven’t watched the new movie series yet, due to my obsession with the TV series and the ending of the old movie.
>>54I understand…
I watched it up to “Break” and “Q” because it felt like, “I might as well watch it since it’s on TV.”
>>58I only watched a little bit of the beginning, but I couldn’t get into it at all and it was no good.
I feel like my impression might change if I look at it now, but I have no desire to do that…
>>68Wasn’t the internet back then something else?
>>142It felt underground on 2ch.
For better or worse, it can easily go off the rails.
>>142Such things have been cracked down on recently.
>>142Honestly, I think it’s just as crazy now.
>>142Even here, looking at the Zikuax thread, there are still some strange kids running around, right?
>>54By the time the excitement has completely worn off, it would be troublesome if a new work comes out… Why couldn’t you have released it 5 years earlier?
The new play also took a considerable amount of time to reach a conclusion.
As for the theatrical version, there was an incomplete version called “Shinsei.”
I didn’t really understand, so I ended up renting that over there.
I often hear that the director was at their limit.
So you were making it without even deciding what kind of ending it would have?
>>57I think it was already decided to end it like a bio-city.
To do that, there’s no budget! That’s why the last two episodes turned out like that, and the continuation is in the movie version!
I’m just a newcomer enjoying the new theatrical version, but I think it’s amazing that people from the past were able to watch something like this and still support it to this day.
>>59Until the new play begins, even if I forget and reignite, I’ll do it with Shin.
I think there are quite a few people who have completely forgotten.
It was a bit funny that BCLUB at the time was blatantly avoiding features on the topic.
I vaguely think that they might have wanted the TV version and the old movie to end like the new movie.
An anime with unbelievable quality for TV has started!
Due to its greatness, the budget has run out…
>>62Even Director Imagawa wouldn’t go that far!
>>65Is that so?
The True Getter anime might have ended after three episodes…
>>83I can’t help but wonder if the number of episodes for Change was originally decided from the start…
>>65Someone who spent the budget for 3 episodes of the OVA is saying something.
>>125Bad otaku stirring things up with unconfirmed information…
>>62The enemies look like something out of a manga about science!
Even now, threads are still being made and people gather for Evangelion; it’s really amazing.
I like the manga version better because it has a nice feeling.
>>66I’m interested in Eva, but I won’t recommend the manga version to new fans.
>>79By the way, I haven’t read the entire manga version… Maybe I’ll buy it at the next Kadokawa sale.
Years later, I was abruptly dismissed with “Don’t joke around while doing parodies with Yoshihiko.”
It seems that there were complaints saying it’s strange that we can’t see it in Nagano even though the capital was moved there in the setting!
Once you enter university.
Those who seem to like anime gather around those who want to be friends.
How is Eva? They ask me, but I don’t want to say anything bad about it.
I pretended not to see and let it pass.
>>71You seem like a communication disorder type.
Is it just that the budget ran out, not that the director lost interest?
>>72It’s not just that the budget is over.
It seems that the heart was also affected, in the sense that the expectations from the viewers were too high.
>>72They simply couldn’t wrap up the story, were criticized excessively for it, so they acted as if the director became ill and played the victim.
>>191Generally speaking, if someone receives slander or even threats of murder, it can lead to mental distress, and it wouldn’t be surprising if they were to commit suicide in the worst-case scenario.
I love it when they finally start filming the script in the next episode preview.
You had decided on the punchline, right, in the initial proposal?
Well… it was a bit rough, but…
I can talk about this topic until 1000.
To be honest, it was treated as an amazing work, so there was a commotion, but it doesn’t mean that many people started to dislike it because of that.
That ended in such a surprising way! Handling…
>>78But you know.
It seems like they’re going to have an amazing conclusion! Some elementary school students went to see the movie and ended up watching risqué scenes with Shin-chan and Ayanami…
Until close to the final episode, the quality was seriously amazing every single time…
It was abnormal for that time.
I think the final episode of Takopi was like this, even though it’s not an anime.
I thought it was really petty to intentionally share a screenshot of the bulletin board that had “Anno die” written on it during the play.
Well, if something like that is thrown at you, you’d want to say something like “Anno, die,” right? What a victim act.
>>84I think this one is the most dangerous.
In a special feature on the new programs of The Television
I remember that it was written that the enemy is a “messenger” of humanity that has undergone a different kind of evolution.
>>85The spoilers are too much…
I think it’s the time when the anime industry started to become strange, rather than the viewers.
They have started to increase the amount of nudity and mysterious developments that raise questions in the evening time slot.
>>87There was a feeling that it was okay to do something like this in a bad way…
>>87It’s usual for the following ones to mimic it and pop up like bamboo shoots after the rain once one hits.
>>103There was a classmate who unapologetically said that Nadesico was a copy of Eva.
Well, I think it was definitely influenced, but aside from that, you were trying to find an answer as a robot anime through a different approach, right!?
The theatrical version was indeed negatively influenced.
>>134I was watching Nadesico back then, but which parts seemed like a copy? I still don’t really get it.
>>150I can’t provide sources, so it’s suspicious, but there should be something written about how Ruri-chan was influenced by Rei to turn out like that.
>>134Isn’t the interpretation that the answer and approach are influenced by some avant-garde concept?
>>87Well, I think there were quite a few anime that were somewhat childish, so the frustrations of young and energetic creators exploded.
I haven’t seen it, but I think it’s amazing that the highest praise is often that what someone accomplished is commendable.
I’m not praising you, though.
>>88What do you mean by not praising something you haven’t seen…?
Both the TV show and the movie had a terrible ending.
At the climax, I finally get to see the talked-about Eva! I thought, “Wow, this is an amazing anime with Kaworu-kun…” but then the following week I thought, “Huh? Did I miss the first episode?!”
I thought that you just couldn’t think of a normal ending and gave up.
>>98But I think there was a scene where Ritsuko-san was floating in LCL and Misato-san was lying on the ground covered in blood.
I think I was thinking about it.
In my surroundings, many people stopped watching when Asuka broke down, so it was peaceful, but I wonder if it was a messy situation in other environments.
It was an era when universities were studying things like Eva culture.
In modern times, there may not be as much of a backlash, but it might have become permanently treated as an internet toy.
I’m glad that the new play ended on a good note.
When I was shown it, I was really anxious.
>>104Let’s all graduate from Eva! I felt that was good.
>>133It seems you haven’t graduated by looking at this thread.
>>143It’s just Anno saying it on his own.
I still have the film comic.
Even though I forced a farewell with Shin, I couldn’t help but laugh at how he re-entered with a Shin mask.
Now it’s just as bad as before with the increase in vulgar language.
I understand that you want to say to return to reality with hope, but it feels like there should be something more… that’s my impression.
Now, there are various interpretations, connections, delusions, and official settings that help with understanding, which is good, but I imagine it was tough back then.
At least I, as an elementary school student, didn’t understand anything.
To be frank, I wonder why Anno is being evaluated so highly right now after releasing this.
>>110Well, that’s because we made something good afterwards.
>>116I wonder where the peak of the evaluation is.
I think I’m the TV version of Eva.
“I don’t know any other work that has this many anti-fans even after the Reiwa era.”
I like it, but it makes me preach to the viewers.
The increase in anime makes me feel a certain way that is hard to describe.
>>113Maybe it’s because you’re only watching things like that.
>>113Wasn’t the preaching phase the worst during the third season of GeGeGe no Kitaro?
The images from the threads and the old movie are so traumatic that I still can’t watch the new movie.
>>114Naso
nin
>>114The new play doesn’t have the atmosphere of being created by someone with a mental illness from the past, so you can watch it with peace of mind.
>>114There’s a really strange scene at the end of the new play where a giant Ayanami’s head is floating, so you might want to avoid watching it.
>>156That’s okay because it was also in the old play.
>>173The old series shows stuff like Mom’s intestines and Ayanami’s brain…
>>173It’s not okay!
I’m saying it’s a trauma!
Isn’t the new play really just a tossed-ending in the end?
>>119I’m glad it has come to an end, but I can’t really say that the content was good.
In reality, those around me were mostly just ambiguous.
You really bounced back from that funeral-like state of Q.
>>120A two-hour anime movie is not that common… I thought.
Personally, I really like it, but if someone says they don’t understand the meaning, I can only respond with “Yeah.”
Why was it so popular back then?
Isn’t Eva originally a late-night show?
>>124The initial broadcast is in the morning.
>>162It’s evening!
>>162It’s evening.
The show that follows the Turtles.
>>197I love this temperature difference; it’s too extreme.
>>197That was also an original Japanese song and became quite popular, right?
>>124???
I feel a sense of change in the times when even Eva is clearly told that it’s boring in parts.
>>127It was tough because there are many people who say things like those who don’t understand what is interesting.
>>149It’s bad to be immersed in that kind of community.
>>157Bulletin board
>>157There was none at that time!
>>181But I feel like I would definitely be on that side if it existed at the time.
>>190I do not deny that.
>>157I just found out that there was a bulletin board back then.
To be honest, the only recent ending that left me confused and seeing others around me upset is probably “Wonder Egg Priority.”
As a result, this type of anime that prompts such reflections has sparked excitement and has become a work of certain significance and value.
I feel like it would be nice to make sequels like the Gundam series, but I think it’s a shame that there are mostly reboots.
But you know, it’s bad because it was interesting when it was doing robot anime properly.
>>132Until the point where the hearts intertwine, it’s undoubtedly a true masterpiece of an anime.
>>144Magma Diver and even the Ghibli episode are good too!
>>132I thought they would finally go in this direction with the new play, but it was really disappointing that they went against it with Q.
>>132I like the episode where everyone catches the apostles falling from the sky.
When it was being broadcast live, there wasn’t anyone around watching at all…
Since the consecutive broadcast on New Year’s Eve before the movie’s release, I’ve started to hear bits and pieces of discussions about it.
>>136I remember it was kind of creepy that my usually dismissive sister, who mocks the anime I watch, was really into this.
The old play starts off with a masturbation scene, so families must have been troubled.
Without a doubt, it was worse back then.
>>139I wonder about that.
I still like it because I use it when celebrating people.
At that time, it was of course incomprehensible.
Shin honestly raised expectations like that with the breaks, so it’s hard to choose between them.
The general evaluation of Q is not good.
I was flowing with the ninth, like “Here we go!”
I love episode 24 the most, so I really love this expanded interpretation of episode 24…
>>145Well, since it’s an extension of episode 24 after doing “Hō,” there are various things that can be said about it.
I wonder which online forums were mainstream back then.
I learned from Eva and Utena that playing a lively piano arrangement of the theme song in the final episode can create a nice atmosphere.
Wonder Egg did it!
The broadcast slot for Eva after Eva will be for a while.
I have a memory that it became filled with things that pushed the limits of the broadcast code…
There were a lot of anime popping up like Eva followers, but only a handful stood out, while most were just forgettable and insignificant shows…
>>167There has been a significant increase in introverted protagonists like Shin-chan.
The number of Ayanami-type heroines has increased tremendously.
Asuka did not increase.
I think it would be good to buy the UHDBD full set for 90,000 yen.
…What should I do…
Comiket was amazing.
I felt like buying anything related to Eva for now!
There are some people in this thread who harbor real hatred towards Anno.
I don’t even understand what graduating from Eva means anymore.
To express my thoughts, does that mean I haven’t graduated or something?
In the first place, I wonder what those words mean, having unearthed something that was already concluded in the old theater.
It can be said that it was not forgiven… and the result is the old movie…
Back then, the internet had just emerged, and there were hardly any Japanese-origin homepages; things like Nifty were the mainstream in so-called computer communications, but I wonder if there were any discussions that extreme…
>>179It seems that the old movie’s thing was a fake made to look that way.
>>179There was no such thing as a jar.
Did it exist during the old series?
While the circumstances of Q were variously terrible, I quite like the atmosphere where Asuka pulls everyone and they play Utada Hikaru in the end, but I wasn’t quite satisfied with Shin’s rough and forceful resolution after all that Q had gone through.
Well, if that’s the case, you should have done it sooner! I mean…
