Well, I don't really understand Evangelion. The story are to deep. But many of my friend love it.

Rebuild of Evangelion - New Evangelion series announced
 

Gainax and Hideaki Anno, the director of Evangelion, officially announced that
the new Eva series will launch in 2007.

I do hope it'll have a better ending this time around. Both of the endings the first time around sucked total ass.
The anime itself was great, though.

I like the ending both the tv and the movie. Not that I actually understood the ending but i like it.

If history repeats itself then not likely. :uhoh:

Oh dear god, no. There are nothing that justifies a remake imo.

I just realize it.

With more evangelion coming that means we are getting more Rei, Asuka and Misato fanservice. And another tidal wave of H-Doujins :D

Even if the girlfried of steel game is added to the story of the new series?

Yeah.

I am one to think that the series is fine enough as it is, and doesn't need any re-write or whatever you call it.

I'd add that the thought of fanboys raving again for the next decades makes me cringe.

Wow. What in the world is this.

It seems like there's going to be FOUR MOVIES. First arc, Middle arc, End arc and Finale arc.

The First arc will be available to the public in early Summer 2007.

WHAT? O_o
it's real?

I actually liked the movie ending a lot, but then again I'm a converted (by fanfiction) AsukaXShinji camper. ^^;

And hmm, 4 movies eh. I really hope it's all new animation and not just reused ones from the series/movie.

And a bit OT, but whatever happened to the live action NGE that was supposedly announced? Was that just a rumour or something?

I guess I'm in the minority in liking the series ending better - or at least disliking it a lot less. I really disliked the movies generally and the ending especially.

That's why I'm really of two minds about this. Eva is arguably the most influential anime ever, and certainly one of the very best. It's the show that really blew me away and turned me on to just how transcendent this medium could be. And there's no question there was a lot left unresolved. But if we're looking at a misguided attempt to (further) cash in on the Eva name without saying anything new and meaningful, that could really tarnish the legacy of the series.

The question here is do we really NEED more EVA? Certainly fans that really liked EVA would be very happy about this, but will the new EVA really make it better than before? It is possible to have too much of a good thing... look what happened to Star Wars.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Why would fans of EVA be excited about a remake of EVA, if EVA was already good in the first place? On the other hand, people who didn't like the original EVA probably wouldn't go watch these new movies. There just seems to be no good reason to make more EVA, aside from gouging more money from the fans.

Wait let me get this straight.....Is this an alternate version of the series new setting,new events, same characters, or is this just a remake?

It will be new animation, from what I heard. I mean it would have to be, right... Since the contents will be different. Redubbing and rearranging alone won't suffice, I think... It'll be interesting to see it animated with digital effects and digital painting.But what kind of staff will they get? I guess since it's a movie and not a TV series they could pick out from the older folks like Mitsuo Iso and the Yoshinaris, or they could let the younger Gainax staff like er... Sushio try it out.


And as to whether we NEED more Eva, well, it's the same anywhere... Do we NEED 60+ anime airing in one season? Do we NEED another mediocre eroge/galge adaptation? The answer may be "no" to some but hey, they still keep coming. I don't know what drove Anno to do this though, I didn't think he'd want to dig it up all over again.

I'd actually be quite happy with an "Angelic Days" storyline for the new project - something totally different than the original series and movies. I think the chances of that are about 0%, however.

It is there, but it seems like it's been stalled. The concept art is fugly, though. Really. Even if it wasn't the final concept.

Wow, I guess I was completely wrong. After 10 years, I wonder if Anno's still got it? I just hope Gainax has figured out how to budget their money so the animation quality doesn't go down the tubes in the end.

My guess: this will be released like Top2!, making us wait and wait in the meantime.
