which he should have ALL THE TIME!

Spoiler

Wait I forget, how much freedom/money did he have in Penguindrum?

I'm sure he had the freedom, even if he didn't always have the money (was it episode 10? That might just be a Gotoh thing). Penguindrum is not as abstract as Utena, last episode aside.

Oh by the way the movie is not a sequel, I'm not sure why you were so adamant on that.

Well... that was something. An episode full of constant flashbacks, fast forwards, and out-of-the-blue talk and explanations.

Someones been watching Goldenboy!

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

It's clear that we want this more than anything else out in the Summer.

So can we have full on lesbian subtext if we make it to 200k? AkkoXDiana, natch.

[CorvoSol]

Because:

1) I'm adamant that Rebuild is a sequel to Evangelion
2)It does a piss poor job of retelling the show
3)It was the easiest way to make it make sense to me.

Well, it's not trying to tell the same events so much as the same themes. I do think the more abstract nature of the film makes it very difficult to enjoy (I hated it on my first watch, it's now one of my favourite films ever and omg those colours).

 

[cajunator]

140k now.
gawdamn easy money.

 

[wonzo]

Lightning.

lol

I'm curious if LWA's/Time of Eve's Kickstarter success will encourage more Japanese companies to embrace it.

Let's do this.

And you like Tomoko?

Exactly.

 

[cajunator]

Sucy ain't that great.

blasphemous!
I still like you.

Visually its very good. My beef is just that, if I hadn't watched the TV show, it would have made no sense at all. Having seen the TV show, the best approach was to view it as a sequel instead of a retelling, but mostly because that's how I've been treating Rebuild.

 

[Awful Falafel]

And you like Tomoko?


Exactly.

Well I like Tomoko too, I just imagined Tomoko saying something so spiteful.

 

[jgminto]

And you like Tomoko?


Exactly.

Akko is the best. Sucy is okay.

But it doesn't work as a sequel, either, because by somehow connecting the two you are retconning the ending of the television show through Anthy and Utena's characters being back to square one. You should treat them as alternate universes if it really bothers you.

 

[cajunator]

Akko is the best. Sucy is okay.

I cant deny a Chiho bro.
your answer is acceptable.

Watamote 01
I dunno, this was just too simplistic for me to find it very entertaining. Very rarely did it feel particularly funny or engaging in any way that stood out, which isn't helped by the show's visuals to be the bare passable minimum. It's not really out there enough to be a parody, but at the same time it doesn't feel authentic or genuine enough to be taken seriously.

Trust me, it's genuine.

Think of it as something totally seperate with similar themes and such appearing. Like G Gundam compared to other Gundam continuities.

 

[Basileus777]

Trust me, it's genuine.

It felt more disturbing than comedic. How much focus is it going to put on the comedy?

 

[Deputy Dangle]

Yes, they did it!

Oh, that's what you meant?

Well, it's kind of a black comedy. You laugh at Tomoko's awkward antics, then you get depressed when you realize it isn't that far from the truth for people with severe social anxiety. That's about the gist of the whole series.

There is not in fact justice for all.

I can see that from watching, It's the impression of people saying how hilarious it was that threw me off. There were a few funny moments, but it was more sad/disturbing than laugh out loud funny.
