GOODBYE, ALL OF - Neon Genesis Evangelion General

Pale Wolf said:
The rules are baaaad. They function, the game is fully playable and nothing's missing or immediately broken, but they're bad at producing a fun experience, and at producing the Eva experience.

Which is why we're working on developing a new edition! (Discord)

Of course, you can still get a good game out of 'em. A good GM and a good group are the biggest part of a good game, and when you specify the target tone as much as 'Eva game' does, it's not super-hard to get everyone on the same page.

Ooh, neato! Thanks! By the 'we' I'm assuming you're invovled with it, so... good luck with that? I hope it goes well, and looking forward to the results.

Huh. I guess I'm cautiously optimistic?

In all honesty, I never got around to watching any of the Rebuild movies. I think they showed 2.22 at a local theatre when it was released, but at the time, I hadn't seen 1.11, so I skipped it.

I legitimately have no idea what the Rebuild movies are supposed to be like, quality-wise, though. Like, I've seen people run the gamut from hating them for being too much like the originals, or for being too different from the originals... and people who like them for the exact same reasons.

Frankly, as much as I'm kinda hyped for just having an available version of Eva again... I think I'm actually the most excited for watching and attempting to make sense of the Rebuild continuity. Here's hoping there is an adequate amount of nightmare fuel. :V

That guy is still going? Huh. Its always surprising to me to see web stuff I liked from years ago still around. I used to watch a bunch of his star trek stuff.

He's finally pretty much run out of the really good and really bad Star Trek stuff to review, from what I've heard :D
 
He unleashes a minute-long tirade about pronounciation as he manages to get Mari's name right, and then screws up Kaworu's name 12 minutes later.
Poor Chuck.

EDIT: Somebody on the SFDebris forum is recommending a video called "The Curse of Evangelion". What's it about?

EDIT 2: NVM found it, still not watching it because I'm afraid it's by some guy who'll make me cringe:

So the translation needs to be "accurate" when talking about Kaworu's grace, but it's okay to outright fabricate words here...

...I fucking beg your pardon? Has anyone checked to make sure that's actually the sub used in the show, because if so. Just. Wow.
 
This video is a wild ride.

Some jackass is claiming that the preview of 3.0 in 2.0 was changed because of the 2011 disasters.

Are Nintendo the only sane Japanese corporation?

I mean, seriously, this borders on is pure stupidity.

Okay, first off this is kind of orientialist. Not so much this post in particular but the general zeitgeist of 'Japanese corporations are different' in the thread. Like culture doesn't make them totally alien or stupid.

Anyway I don't think it's totally non-understandable to care about how your artistic works are received. It might be foolish to think that you can control audience reaction to a work that you've released into the wild but it's totally understandable to be hurt by perceived mockery of what should be a serious work. You release a film that you want to be treated like a serious work with deep themes and underlying meanings... and everyone receives it like a joke. That's something that would make a good portion of people upset.

I'd agree with you there - if it was only one thing getting screwed over because somebody feels butthurt at the fans' reactions. It's not just anime or Japan in general either, more like some people expecting everyone to feel the same way as them about their baby, and then throwing a tantrum when other people's reaction is the exact opposite instead of talking it out and analysing the matter properly.

And another quick question for the thread... which cuts of the show does Netflix use?

I know there were director cuts released for the show, so... curious if Netflix used those, if they have standard AND director cuts, or if they're saving the latter to shill out at a later date.

I saw Gigguk's joke video showing Asuka blinking during the elevator scene, so I would assume the director's cut.
 
Lol WTF is this.

Also, I don't think caring about audiences reactions to your work is unreasonable either from an artistic or business perspective. Works of fiction are always created with some sort of artistic intent and if the work doesn't elicit the reactions from the audience that it's supposed to then that's kinda a fucking problem, right?

Like, take the Room. Tommy Wiseau totally failed to create a drama story and made a comedy by accident and instead of getting upset he just ran with it. That's admirable in its own right, but also he wouldn't be wrong to be upset at the failure of the work to do what he meant for it to do.

Besides, the guy were talking about is a suit. If the localization of this meticulously planned and crafted piece of entertainment seemingly fails to achieve what it's supposed to then that's a fuckup on a business level. As well as strike against the company on the professional level.
