So ready for this. By coincidence I just finished rewatching the series and 1.0, 2.0.
What about End of Evangelion?
It hasn't been announced yet. I'm sure you're wanting it for English subs, but there's no guarantee that it will have English subs. 2.22 had the subs that Khara themselves used in international showings of the movie, but there haven't been any English screenings yet, so Khara may not have English subs for a Hong Kong version.

Just about to.
I've seen it of course, a decade ago.It totally needs a re-release BTW... the Manga DVD is fugly.
Bah, guess I have to wait for the US release then.
Still, one more movie. Then we're finally finished.

It's a remake of the series done in four theatrical releases (proper budget this time). If you are a fan, you owe it to yourself to check it out.
Thank you. I've picked up the blu-ray many times then put it down because I'm not into anime like I used to be... but I really, really loved the original series.

It will definitely re-acquaint you with the basics. The first movie is very similar to the opening episodes of the show.
You will miss the little divergences from the original. In some ways (especially the second film), it plays with your knowledge of the original show. (3.0 looks to be a total departure, though).
But what I did is I watched these new movies, then I was inspired to go back and watch the series, and you can still figure out the divergences in reverse.
Evangelion is still "the good kind of anime" IMO.
I think you'll find it very watchable even if you aren't in an "anime mindset".I was in a similar situation, well maybe I remembered some of the stuff better than you see to. Anyway, I've started on the films the past month and enjoyed it. If you enjoyed it the first time through (series) and think you still like that sort of thing, I'd say give it go.
I think it's good I put off watching the first two since I've heard of the remakes (this thread is part of what reminded of it and I cracked), means I don't have to wait a ton between each one. Well I guess after I watch 3 it could be a while if they miss the schedule with 4.

I'm glad I waited till at least the second one was released... 1.0 was okay, but it was so close to the original show that I'm not sure I would have maintained my excitement over the years. Seeing the new character moments in 2.0 really grew my appreciation for these new versions.
Yeah. It would have been nice to have gotten the Renewal version of End of Evangelion.

True. At this point I'd like a blu-ray, though.

God I would love a BD release of EoE. Especially since I missed out on the Manga pressing of the DVD years ago, and those are now going for insane prices
Really hoping the HK disc has subs
That looked terrible.
I have only watched the first Rebuild movie, are the others any good?
The 2nd one was pretty good because it's the point where it starts to diverge quite a bit from the original.
I know I'm gonna watch it but maaaan, I dunno.
For those who wants to talk about the story freely now that the blu-ray is out, don't forget we have a spoiler thread!
Don't worry, it won't be in the movie at all.

I liked the animation style of the first two. The CG Eva(s) looks stiff (to me, at least).
Heh.

fark I waited all these years ... for this ?!?
You easily break the movie's plot when you think about it.
It's a near-incomprehensible mess of nothingness. Plot is threadbare and characters are total shit.

That means Anno transcended and now the peasants will have to play catch-up.
I looooved Eva 2 but I did not enjoy this one so much. It has a couple things I really like about it, but there's a long drag in the second act, they make some odd choices with the story, and there weren't enough solid, quality fights like the first two movies.
Incidentally my favorite scene was the opening scene
.
There's still plenty to like about it, though.

where they rescue Shinji. Best music, best action, coolest sequence in the movie

God's Message is amazing, I should watch Nadia.
CG EVA's are the worst thing to ever happen
That preview looks a little shoddy and unfinished, but much of the cg has actually been pretty cool so far in the movies, if not a bit basic.
Man I'm not too sure. The things I loved about Eva are things others usually hate so I guess I'm gonna have to see this for myself when my copy arrives. Here's hoping!
If worse comes to worse I'll still enjoy the soundtrack, animation and hey I still have the original series! No one can take that away from me

If nothing else, I'm impressed that after 20 years and after all the shit that's been seen and done with Eva, Anno can still surprise everyone and do something completely unexpected. He didn't execute it very well and the third movie is probably my least favorite (though I still liked it), but I still can't help but admire how Anno can still troll like no one else.
That footage is almost definitely unfinished and probably won't even be in FINAL anyway.

It's still an enjoyable watch!! I'm a long time Eva fan and I found it fun. There are some really good concepts in there, maybe they'll expand on the good stuff in the finale.

Well, my honest opinion;
It's a disaster. The pacing and plot are completely fucked, every character seems to be a complete idiot, especially Misato and her crew on that giant ship. Kaworu is a black-hole for any possible drama, he's somehow even more shallow than Mari. The film has CGI out the wazoo, and pretty dodgy-looking CGI at that. Still, the main area this fails is the characters, and it fails that badly. At one point Shinji literally says, "Well, I have nothing else to do." Gripping stuff!
I slowly began to hate it in 3.33 I just prefer the handrawn versions of the old series
