Conversation on 'Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone ヱヴァンゲリヲン新劇場版:序' with Justin

A MSN conversation between Justin and I about Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone, the first of the new tetralogy of Evangelion films called The Rebuild of Evangelion.



He said:
Dude
He said:
I saw the Evangelion movie
I said:
HOW IS IT?????
I said:
HOW IS IT????????
I said:
hoooooooooooow
He said:
Man like
He said:
It's basically just a recap
He said:
They just remade the series, pretty much, but
He said:
It's a lot better
He said:
A LOT more intense
He said:
They really pared it down, compressed
He said:
I mean like
I said:
Shinji's still a whiny bitch?
He said:
In the show, there's a lot of bullshit, repetition
I said:
Yeah
He said:
There's no repetition in this, just the essential scenes
He said:
And it's paced a lot better, like
I said:
Where did the film end?
He said:
They bring in Lillith early
He said:
And some other shit
He said:
Also the angels are like FUCKING better
He said:
The last angel in this is just nuts
He said:
I can't explain it
I said:
Aaaaaaaaaaargh, i want to see it
I said:
so, it ends with Kaworu?
He said:
No
I said:
It's going to be a 4-film series though
He said:
It's only up to the 6th angel, haha
He said:
But Kaworu IS in it
I said:
Whoaaaa
He said:
And not how you might think
I said:
Kaworu's still gay?
He said:
Yes
I said:
Haha!
I said:
Any improvements on the characters?
He said:
I dunno I mean
He said:
It's still a lot like the series
He said:
A lot of the same scenes
He said:
But
He said:
They perfected it a lot more
He said:
The better graphics and CG and shit are done really subtly, it's great
He said:
I can't wait to see the others
He said:
When it ended me and Josh were like "NOOO!!!!"
I said:
omfgggggggg
I said:
Reeeeei!!!!
I said:
*goes off to play with Rei Ayanami figure*

Swifty's Rei Ayanami in Santa costume


He said:
Rei is so awesome in this
He said:
Asuka didn't even appear yet though
I said:
Really??? whoa
I said:
Goddammmmmn, Reeeeeeeeiiiii
I said:
wow, Kaworu appearing before Asuka
He said:
Yeah, the ending is nuts, like
He said:
Kaworu is on the moon and he's like
He said:
"You haven't changed much, Ikari-kun! it'll be fun to play with you again!"
I said:
WHOOOAAA
I said:
he's like a badass baddie
He said:
(keep in mind this was all in Japanese so some subtleties were probably lost)
I said:
shyyeeee!
I said:
shyteeee
I said:
4 movies....
I said:
I wonder whether the last ones will be like The End Of Evangelion
He said:
Man yeah it's strange like
He said:
I really don't know where they're going to take it
He said:
If they're just going to literally repeat everything or what
I said:
i hope not
He said:
Huh
He said:

"The first three movies will be an alternate retelling of the TV series, featuring new scenes, settings, backgrounds, and characters and newly available 3D CG technology, and the fourth film will present a completely new conclusion to the story.'


I said:
HOH SHIT YEAH
He said:
Man fuck though
He said:
2.0 isn't coming out until next year
He said:
The preview at the end for it looked AWESOME
He said:
it had fucking aliens and shit in it
I said:
Whoaaaaaa!
He said:
The ending was like the Kaworu shit
He said:
And then the new Utada Hikaru song over the credits
He said:
Then the preview after that
He said:
Literally NO ONE left the theater until after the preview
He said:
Everyone was dead fucking silent
I said:
Shit, i WANT to download it now
He said:
Think you can?
He said:
Haha, Anno's statement, so arrogant:

"For these purposes, we used the best methods available to us to make another Evangelion film. Many times we wondered, "It's a title that's more than 10 years old. Why now?" "Eva is too old", we felt. However, over the past 12 years, there has been no Anime newer than Eva."
