One of my earliest posts grumbled about how blatantly the Evangelion cash cow has been milked long after the series first aired. And grumbles more about how I’m such a sucker, falling for it all the time and even after all this time. When Rebuild was announced, I was saying to myself: Never again!
But, lo and behold, after fapping to watching Evangelion 1.01, I also ordered the Limited Edition, following the fine example of fellow bloggers like Kurogane and double. At least he got Misato. I’ve just gotten some random explosion, after a long wait because Play Asia only shipped in July and I only collected from the delivery address in late September. :(
The burst of nostalgia even motivated me (with added push of RightStuf sales prices) to buy the DVD Platinum Complete Collection. orz
But, of course, the real reason is seeing, but also just as importantly, hearing Rei again.
Oh, what are we going to do with you…
totali: The answer should be obvious - have him shot. ;)
I was such a huge NGE fanboy back in the day, but I’ve been exhausted by the constant milking. What exactly is different about all these millions of different versions? New remixes of Fly Me to the Moon?
My cell has Shinji in it. HA! Beat THAT!
I think the Misato cel > Shinji cel… This seems really neat, and I’m definitely jealous. But I think I’ll pass until there’s a domestic one. I have spent way too much money over the years on Eva. Platinum was totally worth it though, you’ll enjoy the quality.
Evangelion is the anime equivalent of Star Wars. :(
Good afternoon gentlewhores.
Anno laughs at your painfully weak self0control.
totali and Haesslich: Shot through the heart and you’re too late, I give love a bad name! :3
Kabitzin: The Rebuild version thus far has been a treat - the art and animation, esp for the fighting scenes and background detailing, has been level-uppu-ed considerably.
double: Unfortunately I agree with otou-san. Though Shinji is also waaaay > than random explosion. ;_;
otou-san: Yes, platinum has been cool. I’ll be keen on comparing the voice work too since they got all the VAs back to redo the dialogue for Rebuild too.
ravenwing: PenPen >>>>>> Jar Jar Binks. ;)
DrmChsr0: What you say! Launch every Eva for great justice!!!
Well, as long as it doesn’t turn into the animu equivalent of Star Trek…
