Evangelion Rebuilt
Oh shit. Evangelion has been remade and I did not know about this until now? And to think I call myself a fan. Some fan he? Anyway, I found the trailer for Evangelion 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance, the second part of the Rebuild tetralogy (otherwise known as Hideaki Anno’s attempt to milk some money out of a very old cow).
From what I’ve seen (and read about) , the movie will cover Asuka’ s arrival up to her and Shinji’s fight with one of the Angels, but with some changes. For one, there’s a new character was added-some girl named Mari Makinami Illustrious. Also, the EVA Unit 02 has been redesigned and Asuka’s last name was changed from Sohryu to Shikinami, to continue the Japanese maritime vessel name trend. Personally, I prefer Asuka Langley Sohryu to Asuka Langley Shikinami. The former sounds way cooler, more apt for a bitchy badass like Asuka.
But changes or no, the remaking of Evangelion became a very good news for someone like me who has recently rediscovered my love for Evangelion through Gakuen Datenrokou, the AU Evangelion spin-off manga that is serialized in Asuka. The manga features the Angels taking human forms while the EVAs manifest as handheld weapons. I like it much better than Angelic Days because of the art, the characterization (no cheerful Rei here) and the storyline. The only thing I like about Angelic Days is the sheer Asuka/Shinji-ness of it. (As if my icon isn’t obvious enough, I am Asuka/Shinji-biased. XD)
Going back to EVA 2.0, it’s set to show this coming June 27th. Hopefully, I’ll be able to find a torrent for it. (Leecher! XD)
And what’s this--- there is a plan for an Evangelion live-action film? No kidding? I wonder who they will cast for the movie. I wonder if it will be good. Well, I sure hope so. Meanwhile, I’d like to share this fanmade trailer I found in youtube. This has to be one of the best fanmade trailers I’ve seen for any fandom. The editing, the music-they were all perfect. The idea about Kirsten Dunst as Asuka is a bit amusing though. And who is Keanu Reeves supposed to be? Kaji? Hyuuga? Probably not Gendou because as much as I like Keanu, I don’t think he’ll pass for a believable Gendou Ikari.
