Over the years how many rumors have burst out about classic anime or manga and so on having a new start. Most the time it failed in flames or was extremly bad. Don't get me wrong though, I would love an actual ending to the series. Even when I watched the movie The End Of Evangelion I was lost, and that doesn't happen, ever. Besides, this isn't the first Eva rumor of this kind to start. The stuff they have launched of late to boost Evangelion really hit low. So even if by some strange chance they do make a FINAL movie to try and explain more, chances are it won't do well.
I say this based on one question, who can really explain what happend at all? Everyone dedicated enough to see it all (including the movies)will most likely have their own theory and will be disapointed when it's something different. Lastly, I may be wrong on the location but I believe in the commentary on the second movie it said that the man who created Evangelion would never do so again because he was so pissed off at the crowd. That's also why he put in the death threats that lots of people sent him for making the first movie and the ending so bad (or nonunderstnandable, take your pick). If you watch closely near the end you can actually see them fly past with other things, although they aren't in english so I don't know what they say exactly. |

And I'm still suprised that EVA was the only profitable anime. I am VERY aware of the popularity status of things.. but this is still news to me : o I guess none of their other works ever spawned such an opportunity for merchandize as EVA did. Even if they're doing this to milk the EVA franchise, I still now have somewhat some faith in Anno.. as long as he's helming the project, something could be pulled off. |

I think those kinda of fans who would threat authors like that are stupid. I mean, this is HIS story, he can end it anyway he likes even if you don't agree/understand it, you should atleast respect his ending.
I didn't like EVA's ending either but after putting some thought into it I was like "this is his story, he created it not us. We have no right to force our openion or hopes on him". Also, 50% of my anime rating depends on the ending and EVA is considered as my 3rd best anime ever with it's horrible ending. Why? because I respected the start, middle and ending of the story as it is. This is how Anno forged it, I have no right to object on it more then expressing my openion about it. And i'd really hope to see the TRUE ending that Anno-san had in mind.

I think the intent of the quote was to say gainax never had a series as massivily profitable as Eva, not that no other series made them any money at all. Not to mention the interview is from 2002 As for Nadia, according to that interview, it was making lots of money, for the NHK. It seems they owned the rights, not gainax. Anyway, to get on topic, wasn't the last huge Eva announcement about the Evangelions 2 video game? Perhaps this will be something like that? Well, if there is a new project, I just hope it'll be 100% new material.

People complained about the original ending. People compained about EoE. They are, essentially, different sides of the same coin (EoE being the very bloody and graphic side). Why anyone would want to change it is beyond me. Shinji accepts the fact that people will hurt him, and then he awakens in a broken world with Asuka. Very good way to add ultimate closure.

there's a live-action movie of evangelion that is still in pre-production (it's actually halted). the people that worked with the effects in lord of the rings (WETA) are actually going to work on that project. there are some concept sketches already that i've seen... http://eva.trivialbeing.net/

But is it worth it? ... You know there are plenty of anime works that warrant sequels or revisions... Like many series made from manga originals (Fruit Baskets to toss one in).
But when a original anime story ends... Can't we just let it end? I can understand being attached to a series and its characters, but why risk the "canon" ruination of the things you hold dear? Just so you can have a little more "new material"? Its fine to feel that a sequel or movie be nice... But I would say be cautious of what you wish for. Because like... ohh for example GS -> GSD, or.. say RK(manga based arcs) -> RK (end of series) it might be not be what you really wanted. lol |

Well...
I would like to see alot of animes and mangas continue as well, but when the author wants to cut out you let them. Then they go to work on something else that's good, hopefully. But to send death threats?! You got to be retarted or something, I mean it's not the end of the world or something.
So it is out that they are trying to make a live Neon Genesis is it? I've been hearing about that one for ages, I was thinking about that was a saying how useless rumors are. It's promising and could be a huge hit if it works, and with the graphic and computer technology we have now.... But I think it will fail, it's still too high in the air... Only time will tell I guess. |

The Angelic Days manga follows that storyline. I meant that this storyline is a possible sequel, but it wouldn't satisfy a lot of fans. If you're talking about the TV ending where Shinji gets a big congratulations at the end... I don't know what kind of interesting, canonical plotline could come out of that. The "big news" in Newtype could well be the Chronicles of Evangelion book, which Anno stated would never come out. It's supposed to answer every single question about EVA. Anno's new Gainax project is just that, a new project.

EVA was the dumbest piece of crap anime that has ever been produced in the history of anime. The shows creators saw that it was going to be a huge cash cow and used that to an extreme disadvantage therefore t deserves to remain dead...
