Adapting RE-Take would indeed be an astonishingly good move, because it manages to keep the feel of the original series, stay true to Anno's original characters, and tell a great post-Impact endstory. BTW, since I'm sure a bajillion people will read these RE-Take questions and be all "WTF?" RT is a doujinshi that starts roughly two seconds after Asuka's final lines in the EoE movie, with Shinji seemingly realizing how he can truly make himself happy and what he needs to do with his last few seconds Second Impact, and the fallout fom that last, desperate decision. That's the spoiler-free version. If you find it, read it ASAP (but be aware that some portions of it are adult-only). But I wonder if this is going to impact the plans for an Evangelion live action series? I still love the series (partially because unlike many, I haven't felt the need to buy every last version of it and instead only get stuff like the mangas when it's a truly different experience of the show) but I wonder what sort of impact this wil have on those plans. Drive up interest? Doesn't seem likely, at least outside of Japan where only the really hardcore will be aware of this. Raise money for advancing the project? Equally unlikely, as the price for new animation and talent (especially if it is as lavish as the original movies) is going to be very high. |

So, so what does this mean? I find it hard to fit in a story, but good luck trying. |

I totally agree with Gooku Hooku. I hope that this rumour will remain a rumour, at best a bad joke, and we’ll never see a sequel/prequel/new ending of EVA. The End Of Evangelion was far too much for me, as it didn’t respect the atmosphere and the ending of the original series (no one can imitate Anno…), I watched it out of boredom mostly, and it didn’t improve the script, the characters or anything in the TV series, and I don’t see the necessity of these four new movies, just like I can’t agree on Top O Nerae II as a fan of Gunbuster. For me, EVA will remain EVA, and its only true ending will remain that of the series.
I even wonder how Anno can be a part of this new project, it's just too sad. |

Well, you do have to remember... Although who the hell knows how much of EoE's ending was what was originally invisioned, SOME of it was indeed intended as the original ending to the TV series. (The Ep 25 preview in the original Japanese broadcast of episode 24 depicted a storyboard/animatic of EVA-02 fighting the mass-produced Eva Series like it did in EoE. So I, atleast personally, really don't see any controversy in the "Ran out of money?" TV series 25-26 scenario ^^; ) And as for the new movies... I guess I'll wait and see. I'm both excited and hesitant... Hard to imagine where they're planning to fit in 4 movies worth of original story into the Eva universe, especially since one supposidely doesn't have to be familar with the TV series in order to understand the new movies... |

Eva prequel actually sounds nice. Yes, this is a milk attempt, but giving Eva some more clarity would be nice. The sequel just confuses me. spoiler[Everyone's DEAD! Minus Asuka and Shinji. It's not much fun with just those two. I'm not interested in Hentai, either.]
Also, reguarding the art for the poster, don't the characters look weird? The eyes are rounder and bigger and the hair looks funky. Especially Shinji's. The Eva animators are getting rusty on the Sadaamoto style. |

I think one thing that ppls loves to watch EVA tend to ignore is the show is about Shinji, the wimp boy , his struggle to accept ppls, to trust ppls, to accept the harsh reality of the world. You guys probably dont know but when EVA was made, a lot of teenagers in Japan are like Shinji, an otaku that refuse to meet ppls and trust ppls.And the reason why ppls are so depress or antisocial has to do with Japan's environment, parents expects their kidz to get into a good highschool, university and etc. They were under this pressure ever since they were born. When Anno made this show, his audience was directed to thsoe otaku antisocial teenagers, and even Anno said it himself, if he knew this show would of gone to oversea, he probably would have choose a differen religion to depict the theme.
When I talked to my American freind, they tend to say stuff like Asuka is hot and Rei is my goddess, and when they talk about Shiniji, they usualyl say stuff like i woudl of kill myself if i was ever like him. i recently showed Evangelion to a freind of mine who is a major in philosphy, he said he liked it a lot and even he said the show is not for everyone. The ending of the original TV series and EOE is what made the show so great. For ppls that says the ending is weird and fuxkup, I suggest you should watch it carefully. BTW i am not some crazy eva fans, I only watched EVA 2 times. PS. the translation of the news is wrong. I studied Japanese for 7 years. They are not making a prequel. The first 3 movies is going to based on the original EVA with a lot of new artwork and new info. And the 4th movie will be entire new stuff. So dont expect a prequel which happens before EVA, is not going to happened. Try to think of the first 3 movies as the new Zeta Gundam trilogy, but with a lot of new artwork and info. |

I really hope that the people in this topic complaining how Eva is being milked aren't the same people who complain that both the TV ending and movie ending are too confusing. I see this not only as more Eva goodness, but to clear up more questions that everyone still has. Opinions and speculations were fun but I think seeing these questions answered finally will be even more exciting.

I can't wait to see the 8 different remastered DVD's that will no doubt come out.
and the extra movie that will no doubt have to come out to try to finish the ending that really doesn't end it. |

While it's possible that the project will get canned, I guarantee you that at this point it is not a rumour. -t |

I'm really ambivalent about this - my inner fanboy is hyper-hyper-freaking out and leaping for joy at the very idea, but my jaded outer shell formed by 3 crappy star wars prequels and matrix : revolutions is afraid they're just milking it for all its worth, and that there's nothing really left to add after the stunningly phenomenal "End of Eva" (which if you STILL haven't seen... shame on you!!).
So, as I see it : #1 pro - End of Evangelion was the best anime movie capping off the best anime series of all time #1 con - End of Evangelion was the best anime movie capping off the best anime series of all time Bottom line: I'm HELLA looking forward to them, gonna RUSH to see them all, but if they suck it'll be Star Wars all over again...

You mean it will make a crapload a money while taking in a generation of much younger viewers despite the all the internet whining (they will need new material after Transformers), while not good as the original millions and millions will still have fun adding funny words to thier vocabulary like "Mace Windu" and "Dooku."???!!! Well bring on the suck!!!! |
