Subs going to be late again...

[nilxchaos.livejournal.com]

 I'm just posting to say I'm sorry, the subs are going to come out on Friday at the earliest, late Saturday latest.

Sorry, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I was watching/finishing Neon Genesis Evangelion/doing homework.  Today I have my grandparents over, so I won't be able to do like anything till 8, which is then homework, not subbing.

Again, I'm truly sorry, next week hopefully won't be so bad.

Anything you want specifically to make up for the wait?

Random Quips

Also, if you have the time, WATCH EVANGELION.... Its a very very cool anime, that mindf**ks you... And if you see End of Evangelion, in multiple ways.  That is one down on my list of anime to watch... 

Also, if you haven't already, begin following Bakuman. There are only 3 episodes out in Japan at the moment, so it's easy to catch up on it.  It's an anime based on a manga about 2 kid's journey to make a manga.  Hold the Xzibit jokes please.  But trust me, it's GREAT.

Also, if you don't mind fanservice, and LOTS of it, try and keep up with Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt. It's from Gainax (FLCL, Evangelion, Gurren Laggan, Hanamaru Kindergarten), and is just weirdly funny.

Evangelion is a perfect excuse to get side-tracked. :3c

Everyone who hasn't watched it is totally angel fodder.

[nilxchaos.livejournal.com]

Hahaha glad someone is okay with it! I have been meaning to watch it for a year... I've seen a bunch of other Gainax stuff before it (FLCL and Gurren) but I needed to see it. So glad I did. Now to rewatch 1.11 and watch 2.22 :DDD

Agreed.

Oh man, I recently rewatched the entire series myself.
overcome with SO much nostalgia, and the series really has a place in my heart, even though it leaves me cold and confused sometimes. When that happens I picture Kaworu and everything gets better for me ehehehehe

I have yet to watch the rebuild stuff, but I hear good things about it~

[nilxchaos.livejournal.com]

That episode that introduced Kaworu did wonders for the yaoi/yuri fanfic writers. Both ShinjiXKaworu and AsukaX(that one chick she stayed the night at).

I was just like wow.

[nilxchaos.livejournal.com]

Also, (sorry, hit send too quickly) I've heard VERY good things about the Rebuild... And I bought 1.11 at Otakon at the Funi Dealer Place, and I have a HQ rip of 2.22, so I am HAPPY. Need to watch both.

[n.livejournal.com]

OH GOD I KNOW.

Personally, I was at a loss with that... I didn't know who to ship...
But hey, I can enjoy it regardless. And all the trivia revolving Kaworu is quite fun to read about! So mysterious!

I saw a few places online selling the first two rebuild movies for fairly cheap, I'll do well to catch up on them!
I just.. wonder why Mari's so popular ; _;
Are the girls really all that? I'm just a butthurt lil fan who can hardly find merch of her favorite 'boy' Dx

[nilxchaos.livejournal.com]

Haha, I don't ship or write/even read fanfic, like, at all... Haha.
I have only dipped my pinky toe into the Eva universe, I know SO little about Kaworu or even Rei.

The second is about to be released by Funi though, I would wait. But I HATE the anime's dub... Their voices are like nails on a chalkboard...
I actually haven't seen 2.22 so I don't know who Mari is even.... So those last 2 lines made no sense XD

Evangelion. I haven't seen it for YEARS since the time I saw the original series. ;o; I adored it.

I'm actually going to purchase the 4 remake movies, inclusing the alternative ending episode DVDs and whatever I missed since I need to rewatch it. xD


_{Btw, does the original series dvd collection released as Perfect and Platinum DVD collection? What are the difference between the two?}

[n.livejournal.com]

The Neon Genesis Evangelion Platinum:Perfect Collection will consist of the previously available Platinum releases of Eva[not the thinpack collection versions that were stripped of extras, but the single release versions, which had a good number of extra features].
Also, this Evangelion set does not have the informative booklets from the individual "Neon Evangelion Genesis: Platinum" DVD volumes. Too bad, as those contained a lot of interesting trivia and info on the show.
The only new thing about this is the cool-looking tin that houses the individual DVDs. It's up to you to decide whether this is enough to upgrade your collection.



that's what a review says about the platinum: perfect release of the dvds :u

[flamefox324.livejournal.com]

Oh thanks. Pretty much the four different dvd collection versions I searched around Amazon are pretty much the same with the exemption of the 4 upcoming movie remakes (and I guess minor and unnecessary additions on them).

How come the review says four director's uncut version? I thought they were two from the End of Evangelion. Did I miss something?

_{Sorry for the extremely dumb questions. OTL;}

[nilxchaos.livejournal.com]

Hmm... Didn't know any of this. Sounds cool.

And there will be 4 "Rebuild" movies. One and 2 have been released (in Japan, only 1 so far in America), and 3 and 4 are coming.

They're basically a re-telling of the series, with re-done scenes, and even a modified storyline starting more in 2, with new characters, and 4 will have a brand new ending.

[flamefox324.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. So the re-makes won't have total new ending, not the ones from the alternative endings or the original endings?

Wait, I thought the second is already out in the States last year. Or was it postponed again?

[n.livejournal.com]

A lot of them confuse me too, I just torrented the series (shame on me!)
when I rewatched due to the confusion of which box set I should buy D:

And I think the uncut episodes are also the remastered ones I may have watched, so the content might be either extended ending or alternate ending aaghh its all so confusing!
And the director's cut were the last four episodes, if I remember right.

[flamefox324.livejournal.com]

I know. It's hard if you're not able to rent or even take a peek on the DVDs if you're ordering online. D: *sobs*

Seriously, too many versions. -.o

[alistaere.livejournal.com]

.....Gainax did Hanamaru Kindergarten....?

[nilxchaos.livejournal.com]

Yeah... That surprised me too... Haha. But remember, (as I understand it) Gainax is more a publisher of other people's anime.

[maikyaera.livejournal.com]

EVANGELION OH GOD YES. I sooo need to rewatch that.. I think that was one of the first anime I ever saw, after Fruits Basket |D But ahhh Eva holds a special place in my heart.

[nilxchaos.livejournal.com]

I have seen SO many anime before Eva, but I love it dearly... Actually my first (real, non YGO or Pokemon) anime was DN Angel, which holds a VERY special place in my heart. I still haven't seen Fruit's Basket though... It's on my Netfilx Instant Queue though.

[maikyaera.livejournal.com]

Hehe, Fruits Basket is a good first anime. Very sweet and cute. My mom saw me watching Eva one time, and she was like '...is all this 'anime' you watch like this?!' and I was like ohhh shit shoulda watched this somewhere else XD

[nilxchaos.livejournal.com]

Hahahahahahaha at least it wasn't End of Evangelion... So many tits and blood and hand/head vaginas..... Soooooo awkward trying to watch on cpu with family in the room.

[maikyaera.livejournal.com]

...my little sister walked in on Shinji's little.. uh.. ya know, thing in the beginning. I had a /lot/ of explaining to do XD

[bijou-cho.livejournal.com]

Haha... I was scanning through my comm-link and thinking, why is there mention of Evangelion?

But!
1) Evangelion has a love/hate/meh relationship with people, as with most shows that become a hit. Me? I'm okay with it. It's one of a kind when it came out during its time, now I just like it for nostalgia. And Kaowru, but that's another story. ;) Not sure how I feel about the insertion of the new character Mari what's-her-name in the remake though, but I'm old school that way.

2) I like Bakumen.

3) I don't mind P&S, but it's a little repetitive and not quite going anywhere anytime soon, so I think this is likely to fall off my radar. Then again I did finish Hanamaru Kindergarten, but it was forgettable.

4) ...but for some reason, this has not stopped me from watching Star Driver.

[nilxchaos.livejournal.com]

Haha, because of me!!! Just a little update for those who watch my subs.

1) I think I love it, even though it was/is SOOOOO confusing. I haven't seen 2.22 yet, but this weekend I think is when I will. And oh god Kaowru... it bet that episode REVOLUTIONIZED the yaoi/yuri businness... Both ShinjiXKaowru and AsukaXThatGirlSheSpentTheNightWith*WinkWink*X D

2) HELL YES. I had the anime club at my school watch it today, but the projector had a HEAVY pink tint to it, so it kinda killed it haha. I'm so excited though... It's great. And I never read the manga too, so its a surprise every week :D

3) I am just a pervert, so I find it funny...

4) That is the one show I'm curious about and am not watching. What IS it about?

[bijou-cho.livejournal.com]

It's... er... well now... Hmm... see, that's a good question. But I would say it is a mad mash of Code-Geass WTFness + Gundam Seed-SRS SNZ + Gurran Laggan + Sengoku Basara OTTness and a healthy dose of SPARKLING MAGICAL GIRL SERIES.

As I was telling my friends, I don't promise there's going to be any epic complex plot anytime soon, but at least catch episode 1. If nothing else, I can at least promise it will make your life just that little bit more :::FABULOUS::::, haha.

[nilxchaos.livejournal.com]

Sounds good!
