TONIGHT! and Saturday Morning at 10am.
Evangelion 1.0, the first of four feature-length remakes of the Neon Genesis Evangelion tv series/movies, is screening tonight at 7pm across Canada, at more-or-less every Cineplex Odeon or Empire Theatre. There’s another screening Saturday morning at 10am as well.
As you might have figured, I’m a bit of an Evangelion nerd, and so I am going to this tonight. And maybe Saturday too.

See you there!

Just got back from the show – I really enjoyed it! Graphics of the movie were great and the handling of the material very faithful to the original while stilling feeling pretty fresh. The atmosphere of the movie-goers was fantastic too, almost entirely sold out and everyone was very enthusiastic (and behaved on top of that). Lots of fun was had
Hope everyone else can say the same!
I really liked it a lot, too. I had heard they made Shinji less whiny than the TV show but I didn’t find that to be the case at all. Tokyo-3 looked amazing and I loved hearing the status reports on the Evas in English. I am not the kind of guy that HATES ALL DUBS but some of the voices were a bit grating. Can’t wait for 2.0!
Yeah, I totally enjoyed it… I think I might be a die-hard subtitles guy, though the voice cast did alright in general.

Did they downplay the “masturbating to 13 year old girls in bondage suits” aspect of the original series?
