Evangelion in the cinema was absolutely mindblowing. The entire cinema was cheering, whistling and applauding when the second film finished. The atmosphere was fantastic. It is no doubt the highlight of the year for me so far. I will never forgot the experience. Sooooooooo glad I went!

There's a Bleach opening worse than that? Shows footage of horrible Bounto filler, and it has an awful Engrish song.

It wasn't the world premiere, but it was the English premiere of Evangelion 2.0. I had already seen Evangelion 1.0 at the cinema last year when I attended the Anime All-Nighter, but the experience just wasn't as good since everyone was knackered and there were multiple films being shown, not just Evangelion, so the audience were very much just general anime fans as opposed to Evangelion fans at the event I went to yesterday. Watching these stunningly high quality mindblowing films with a cinema full of Eva fans made all the difference.

Evangelion 2.0 is out on DVD in Japan in four days, on the 26th of May. Subs should show up around one week later. I highly recommend watching the films. If you didn't like the series, don't worry. That is irrelevant. One of Anno's intentions was to recreate Evangelion to be "much more understandable and accessible to non-fans than the original TV series was" so the films offer the story in a very new light. The first film is roughly the same as the first six episodes of the series, only with additional scenes, an altered climax and stunning animation. The second film, however, completely changes the story. I should also note that the action sequences at the end of both the first and second movie are some of the best I have ever seen committed to film.

Double post again, eh. Blame the '500 Internal Server Error'. Moderators, merge this post with the above if you see fit.

Might as well fill this post with something so here is a short trailer displaying how epic the Rebuild of Evangelion films are.
