God Warrior was included in the film's theatrical runtime though, wasn't it?

It also just seems really unlikely they would have 10 minutes of additional footage to put in. 1.11 and 2.22 only had 3 and 4 minutes of new scenes added, and those took much longer to come out than this one.

Hmmm... you have a point. The listing on the site does say that the God Warrior short is included on both the BD and DVD, and yet the Special Features for both don't include any mention of it, so it's probably part of the runtime. It just seems odd to force an unrelated short as part of the main feature on the home video release. >_<

The khara site confirms that God Warrior is part of 105 minute, not as a special feature.

BISONYES. For those who've seen it, how is the OST?

Depends, if its the full OST, its incredible. A lot different then the others. A huge use of pianos. Sounds a lot more sombre and emotional and less bravado. Its actually incredible.

I have a feeling this might just be the single tho, no? Hopefully its the full soundtrack! If you haven't heard anything from it yet, your in for a treat!

The entire OST is floating around on the web like youtube.

I personally loved the OST, just like 1.0 and 2.0. I actually think it was best of the 3, but its just my personal opinion.

And it actually includes the theme song by Utada Hikaru, which is also amazing

So this is going to come with the full 2 disc soundtrack? Because I agree, its the best of the 3 movies so far. The Evangelion: Decade soundtrack is my favourite out of them alll however, so good..

At this moment we don't know, but considering the past I think we will get compressed, 1 disc version. The OST is half the price of the blu-ray, so I doubt they will pack the full OST.

Man I almost bought the OST when I went to Japan. Good thing I resisted myself.

Yeah I forgot about that. We normally get a shiro sagisu music from Evangelion soundtrack and then a full on Original Soundtrack, no? Excited. Still might get a standalone OST for collection purposes.

The full OST seems really good, so maybe you should get it if you really like it.

I was thinking of getting it when I was in Japan, but I didn't get it because it did not include Utada's theme song.
 
Yup, I've been waiting a LONG time for the rebuild series, so to spoil it now would be disappointing, especially since its bloody Evangelion we are talking about, its always full of surprises and amazing visuals and music that needs to be seen at the cinema or Blu Ray in order to be fully appreciated. If you get spoilt its not a big deal since eva is a visual and audio experience that holds up even if you know the story/plot before hand, since seeing it is a whole different experience. Sorry if I'm not making any sense :s

Speaking of which, 2.22 was shown in the cinema not too far from me, at the Leeds International Film Festival, hopefully 3.33 is also shown, since there is no chance in hell 3.33 will be shown at a regular cinema here.

I've somehow managed to stay almost completely spoiler-free so far. My Japanese isn't very good these days but I'm still in for that first release edition.
 
I've been playing it safe by largely avoiding anything Eva period. I kind of assumed this thread got bumped was because of a BD release date which is why I'm posting here for the moment.
Yeah. Last Eva thing I checked up was the release date, which I know now :) so about to bail out of this thread.. For the time being :)

Actually it's slightly nauseating. And now I know why this anime was such a mindfuck from the beginning to the mindfucking end. Body horror and mindfuckery. Mainly it was this phrase that got me, "inhabited by the soul of his mother".

The more you watch, the more fucked up minutia you can see.

Like Gendo, fucking Ritsuko and the mother before her. Of how he was directly responsible for the death of both. And how he cloned his dead wife into a teenage girl that he keeps a few dozen spare copies of in a giant vat underground, where he goes sometimes to invite her to "go eat".

Or how Azuka's mother was lying in a hospital bed, completely stark raving mad, while her husband and doctor are fucking in the next room?

How Kaji delivers the secret info about Seele through a capsule that he stuck inside Misato's vayjay?

And how Misato was just about ready to fuck Shinji after Kaji died?

How the MAGI computers have actual human brains in them? Who's brain?

How the Evangelions are giant humans forcibly encased in restraining armor and enhanced with all sorts of invasive surgical procedures.

And LCL is whatever liquid was oozing from between the legs of Lilith?

Seele's intentions were misplaced but not necessarily evil, until Gendo decided to play them and fuck the whole humanity over just to be with his wife again? And Fuyuutsuki just followed along in hopes to get his own time with Gendo's wife, which he very much wanted to fuck?




Love it.

It's probably selected tracks from the full OST. I believe the full soundtrack is two discs and doesn't include the theme song.

I wonder if it's going to have anything to do with Rebuild. It would be nice if it was about the events
during the 14 years between 2.0 and 3.0.

Series remake.

Cmon, you know it will happen. Full of CGI, with potential to merchandise the fuck out of it until the next millennium.

What the heck did I just watch????

Not going to talk about it, but I can say that the soundtrack is terrible compared to the previous. Lots of guitar riffs....not so Eva-like.
 
Or how Azuka's mother was lying in a hospital bed, completely stark raving mad, while her husband and doctor are fucking in the next room?

Did we ever find out where Asuka's father ended up?

Seele's intentions were misplaced but not necessarily evil, until Gendo decided to play them and fuck the whole humanity over just to be with his wife again? And Fuyuutsuki just followed along in hopes to get his own time with Gendo's wife, which he very much wanted to fuck?

A small point of contention I have with the show is that I can't quite tell how instrumentality would have been different in either plan...? The way Gendo did it positioned him at the helm but wouldn't the end result have been the same as in oneness/nothingness for all regardless of who 'won'?

iirc, SEELE's plan was to make everybody into one, whereas Gendo's plan was to do that and then let everyone go back to normal afterward. He didn't want SEELE's plan to be the endgame, but had to go along with it because Third Impact was something that had to happen, so he would let it happen then restore the status quo (but stay with his wife in the process).

That was in the original series anyway, no idea what Gendo's plan is in Rebuild.

Just finished watching a crummy bootleg of this.

So many questions, I do (not) understand.
So Shinji's father was pulling Seele's strings the whole time? Did he WANT the fourth impact to happen? And was the 11th angel masquerading as/mistaken for the Lillith they've been protecting below Geofront this whole time?

Ack! I've been meaning to buy the rebuild blurays, but I want to be sure it's a good investment so I jumped the gun and watched the bad copy of 3.0. I just don't want a waste of time that is/was The End of Evangelion.

Not reading the spoiler but EOE was NOT waste of time. I preferred the original ending to be fair but DAT Asuka scene with Air on the G string. DAT Misato to scene.

Honestly my biggest WTF about all of this was
The giant Rei head underneath NERV HQ.
Sounds more and more like that one theory is true.

That idea didn't occur to me until long after I saw it...my original interpretation was way more bizarre. :lol

EoE and the TV series are the same ending.

I have never understood this argument. The TV ending is fucking weird, sure, but it actually ends on a positive note. The EoE ending ... well, I guess you could try to argue that it's ambiguous, but it's definitely not optimistic. The tone and the underlying message about human psychology and depression is IMO very different.

Sequel theory

Why does that make the sequel theory seem more likely?
That head is obviously Lilith's. When Shinji and Kaworu make it to Terminal Dogma, we see Lilith's headless corpse and the head explodes into blood with the rest of Lilith when Shinji removes the Lances.

Because it's a giant
Rei Ayanami head, just like the one from End of Evangelion.

And that's Lilith's true form. For some reason, during those 14 years that we missed, Lilith awakened and took on her true form and both Lances were used to stop her and Mark 06. Then Gendo cut off her head. That head isn't proof that it's a sequel.
