The movie is a success... thus the milking will continue Wink .

Ah, who am I kidding? I cannot wait to see this movie.

Enough pseudo-hating with claims of "milking", please.

It isn't Anno's fault that Gainax has no other talented people on staff, and they like money.

Only at 100 theatres and at #1 with 2.4 million $ ???

Did the otaku go see it 100 times over and over or something, or is Evangelion like Pokemon and is one of the few popular, high selling anime (theatrically wise)? I also think the link to Utada added to some money, Japan is crazy for that lady.

The thing about movie theaters in Japan compared to here is that tickets are sold like event ticket stubs. So going to watch something a bunch of times is really rare. Also tickets alone are far more expensive.

Not if they resign over 2-chan criticism like Takami Akai did.

You're just jealous that you didn't think of it.

Marketing genius I say.
