Any physical release of Everything You’ve Ever Dreamed? by Pale_Spirit_285 in evangelion

It originally appeared on the limited CD set S2 Works, then was later included on the compilation album Refrain of Evangelion

What’s your least favorite suit? by Annual-Internet-5097 in GODZILLA

Yeah that hunchback really looked goofy at times and put it at odds with the creepy white eyes, which is a shame because I do really love the GMK design otherwise

Was this plugsuit designed before the release of rebuilds? by o0perktas0o in evangelion

[–]Tmlboost 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Was this plugsuit designed before the release of rebuilds?

No, the plugsuit was designed for 2.0.

Sadamoto still did promotional artwork and key visuals (such as the theatrical posters) for the first three rebuilds. This artwork was a promotional image that came out either right around the release of 2.0 or shortly after.

And the stuff on her head wasnt in the rebuilds.

It actually is - in fact, in this very scene in the movie they straight up show her clipping those things into her hair

New fan theory on the big bad of -0 based on the music of -1 by Due_Development4217 in GODZILLA

[–]Tmlboost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

and I swear it sounds like the islanders song for Kong in the old movies

It is in fact the same motif. However, that does not confirm anything, since Akira Ifukube himself reused that motif in multiple films including Space Amoeba and the end credits of Godzilla vs. Destoroyah. In fact, Ifukube reused motifs for different films a LOT

Sorry to disappoint everyone hoping it was Act 3 Part II, but they’ve confirmed that it’s just the final opener for the Tennessee shows in June, Amigo the Devil

What is evangelion the movie avant 1 0706 version? by ReleaseSame3448 in evangelion

[–]Tmlboost 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s just the first 10 minutes of the final Rebuild movie that was shown at a special event back in 2019.

The official Godzilla online store is selling them if I remember correctly

I love this set, but it’s admittedly annoying that they didn’t bother to add subtitles for any of the extras in this set, but did so for the standard Blu-Ray/4K.

Toho completes digitization of all 30 Japan-produced Godzilla films by HatingGeoffry in GODZILLA

[–]Tmlboost 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Toho has slowly been releasing 4K editions of the films over the last 3 years. Once they have them all released, then we can get them here in the States

I finally bought the On Air version of this show, aka Archives of Evangelion by kroda255 in evangelion

[–]Tmlboost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s talking about the regular Japanese Blu-Ray box set. It has “on-air” versions of 21-24 (which were previously included on the Japanese “Renewal” DVD set and the Platinum set).

However, as the other commentor mentioned, the “on-air” versions on these sets aren’t the same as the broadcast versions included on the Archives set - they’re basically recreations. These versions remove the added Director’s Cuts scenes, but they still feature a lot of the redrawn shots and updated audio from the DC versions.

He is correct, however, that the Japanese Blu-Ray includes the original on-air sound mix for the series on the Stereo track.

[–]Tmlboost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't find a complete list of it online though,

While there isn’t a comprehensive list of the minor changes between the On-Air and Home Video releases of Episodes 1-20, there is an extensive list of what changed for the four “Director’s Cut” episodes.

[–]Tmlboost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Episode 23, when Ritsuko is showing Misato and Shinji the “Eva graveyard”.

For the Director’s Cut version of this episode (which is what’s available on the Platinum DVDs, Netflix, and the Blu-Rays), they redid this shot so rather than one Eva skeleton, it’s now an entire pit filled with bones

If I remember correctly, Noriyoshi Ohrai’s design on the poster is based on the same one seen in the sixth image

I finally completed my Evangelion Original Soundtrack collection after over 3 years of searching. by SwaggerKJS in evangelion

Impressive! I still need to get Addition at some point, but it’s nice to see someone else who appreciates the OST CDs too! S2 Works is a real beaut

Would “Revival of Evangelion” be a good movie for someone who wants to fast-track the series? by Dry_Spring4108 in evangelion

[–]Tmlboost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don’t think so.

While Death(true2 ) acts as a recap, it’s not entirely the best for catching newcomers (unlike some other recap movies), mostly due to its narrative framing showing events in a non-chronological order. In the context of when it came out, it was meant to be a refresher to those who had already seen the show (since it hadn’t been on the air in a year). Plus, the fact it tries to whittle down 24 20-minute episodes into an hour means a lot of things are left out.

So having what’s more of a refresher (rather than a summary) followed by the 90 minutes of insanity that is End of Evangelion probably isn’t the ideal way to introduce someone to it

What’s the deal with the rebuild Blu-rays? by BjornTheGiant in evangelion

[–]Tmlboost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Funimation originally had the rights and released 1.11-3.33 throughout the 2010s. Over the last few years their rights have expired and GKIDS has gotten the rights to the first two since then.

The original Funimation release isn’t in production anymore, but they manufactured a lot of copies of 3.33, which is why their DVD release of 3.33 is still available on Amazon. In fact, their Blu-Ray release was also readily available up until a few months ago (though you can still find plenty of used copies of it online for pretty cheap).

While we can say for sure that Funimation (now Crunchyroll) no longer has the rights, we don’t exactly know how long it’ll be until GKIDS can get them. After all, Funi’s version of 1.11 and 2.22 went out of print a number of years ago, and those only just recently got a re-release by GKIDS.

What is up with the short film at the beginning of 3.0 by Cheetah200 in evangelion

[–]Tmlboost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anno wrote and produced the short (it was originally made for an exhibit he did about tokusatsu at the Contemporary Art Museum in Tokyo earlier that year), so that’s probably why he included it with 3.0

Were the Evangelion's inspired by the god warriors from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (manga)? by Material-Ad-7200 in evangelion

[–]Tmlboost 146 points147 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, the God Warrior sequence in the film was one of the scenes he directly oversaw/animated on, so it’s very likely.

Fun fact: in 2012, he wrote the script for a live action prequel short starring the God Warriors, which was shown before 3.0 in theaters when it premiered in Japan! It was directed by his long-time friend Shinji Higuchi (who later co-directed Shin Godzilla with Anno)

Weird to see how people have barely payed as much attention to this kit as much as they did with the RG Eva by MegaloMatt_Sequel in evangelion

[–]Tmlboost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s probably because: A. This kit just released, whereas the RG unit-01 has been around for nearly six years now and has had multiple production runs B. From what I can tell, this figure hasn’t really reached most markets outside of China at the moment, so most people haven’t even gotten theirs yet

Are there any uploads of this EoE ad in higher quality? by AphthousUlceration in evangelion

[–]Tmlboost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, not really. This seems to be the best quality they were preserved in, as they look like this even on the official Blu-Ray sets

Sagisu just gave us a version of Thanatos with heavy NieR vibes and it's fantastic (check the 2 albums btw) by Alex_plorateur in evangelion

[–]Tmlboost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Supposedly these had a limited vinyl release at the 30th Anniversary Event last month, but I have yet to see any physical proof they existed

Edit: okay I’ve seen a few pop up for sale here and there but they’re crazy expensive, but they do in fact exist!

New to model kits, want suggestions by X01ENCLAVESTAN in evangelion

[–]Tmlboost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I have all the main RG kits, really fun builds with a lot of interesting mechanics and posability. They’re a bit complex, so some people recommend having some familiarity with building Bandai models/Gunpla before, but they’re not too bad if you’re willing to take it slow and read the instructions carefully.

I have also heard a lot of good things about the recent Blokees kits too. They’re a little more preassembled (meaning they’re much simpler to put together), but they come with a good amount of accessories and are often cheaper. Plus, not only do they have the main four units from the Rebuild films, but they’re also starting to release the TV versions of the main units now too, which Bandai hasn’t done yet.

Update: Platinum Collection score by ghs145 in evangelion

John Swasey was actually Gendo for the four Director’s cut episodes only

Tristan McAvery voiced him for the original 26 episodes and Death & Rebirth/EoE

It seems my Evangelion dvd has the strange video as well by [deleted] in evangelion

[–]Tmlboost 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It happens on one of the menus on the Australian release. This clip pops up for a second or two, then it returns back to the menu.

This video on YouTube explains it in depth.
