Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone
I usually don’t watch anime (not anymore), but this is too good to not blog about.
Evangelion started out as a TV series back in 1997 (10 years ago!). Since then, they’ve released movies, re-releases, and now a re-re-release. Unlike Gundam, which comes out with new series one after another, these Evangelion guys just does the same things over and over again. But it’s still so good! In other words, they milk their fans hard, and the fans are happily milked.
The thing is, they’ve done this so much that now, with this latest release, it’s pretty much perfect every frame. It’s awesome. And just look at the poster will give you a sense of the style they use. First of all, they use a weird naming scheme (1.0? and there’s a 1.01 DVD release), and the tag line has double meaning that it really doesn’t say anything.
Now this re-re-release project is still on-going. There are plans for 3 more movies, and DVDs. Wikipedia explains. I can’t wait.
