Retake is a lot like negimaru in a way (also by the same studio)
It accentuates the (supposed) personality defects of the characters to point that you may want to vommit, yet at the same time it tries to sell you the idea that because these characters are completely broken they are hence, complementary and perfect for each other. Some find it terribly romantic. I find it filthy pretentious pair shipping. Which is why I like Rebuild's version of Asuka. She's deals with her mental problems in a much more ::gasp:: positive way. |

It wasn't the romance I liked, it was the entire concept of the story and the fact that, despite the differences, it really felt like Eva. |

I have to ask, have any of you cranked up the volume high enough to hear the tunes playing on Shinji's SDAT? I was surprised at first that they seemed to be alternative rock and pop pieces, far from the classical music I assumed it to contain in the TV series... Which makes me wonder if they were included in the movie's OST.

That said, I'll be surprised if she makes it through in one piece...but then the new Eva movies have been nothing if not surprising. Quote:
By the way, did anyone notice that Shinji's SDAT player...advances...? |

Yeah, the SDAT seems to not only to automatically advance, but loops as well. Though, many of the older tape-based walkmans also had this function, mind.

Talking about the different version of Asuka, I never really liked Shikanami, as for one, she seems too positive, and looks at the world differently. It's not that I liked her original fucked up personality, it's just because of that, she was much more closer to Shinji than she had originally wanted to. In a way, it predefines how she changes from meeting him on the ship, up to the mindrape where she was totally hoping on him rescuing her.
But to each their own. |

I dunno, I understand the feeling...it's kind of like running into an old, long-lost friend after many years, and realizing that what you liked about them originally is just...gone. But yeah, for ME at least, Sohryu was my favorite character from the show, and I liked Shikinami a lot. It strikes me that they HAD to lighten her up a bit, or else she would've been as unsympathetic in the new movie as she had been through a large portion of the TV sow. And that would've killed the movie. |
