Its something I was dubious about looking into. I remember the NGE of the past, with all the mind blowing conversations and symbology oozing out of every dialogue or cell...
I've yet to see this, and, although this article has more of less re-affirmed what I believed it would be. I'll likely still buy it at some point, if at least to say I have seen it.

Out of curiosity, has there been any mention, perhaps as a commercial on the DVD's, that they'll make Angelic Days into an anime? Is it already an anime? I haven't been following it.
For those who don't know what NGE: Angelic Days is, it's the expanded version of that short mindf-uck sequence where Shinji ***Spoilers you should already know so I'm not putting them in a box*** imagines a less screwed up world, where his family wasn't destoryed, where Asuka was his best friend, Kaworu was his creepy friend who was obsessed with him, and Rei was ultra-happy-peppy and a new student, etc. ***End Spoilers***
Though that series is a bit cliche, I'd still like to see it made, if only to see what NGE not ending in mndf-ckery is like.

Hmm, I was kinda looking forward to this new version, but if they dumded it down for the masses then I'll just rewatch the platinum edition.
Wow, someone else on this forum who actually likes this show. I'm always a little cautious in revealing my love for it since the general feelings towards anime here are pretty bad, but concering NGE it's downright ugly.Fredrick2003 said:
Evangelion is not the same when its creator has triumphed over depression. Whether that's a good or bad thing is entirely up to you (and whether you watched the original).Onmi said:
Perhaps you don't realize that these are an ongoing series of movies being shown in Japan, and that we're only now (officially) getting the first due to the DVD being released. There was no intention to redo the entire series. There isn't an actual 26-episode series to watch except the original TV series.robbins123 said:
I already watched it but it was without subs so I couldnt understand a thing what they where saying (maybe a good thing since I got a bit sad when I watched the original series) but the designes where pretty cool
The main reason why I couldn't get past the first couple of eps is because I can't stand Shinji's character. maybe this'll make it slighty more bearable.
This was one of the only anime that I thought was truly good, and it looks like they managed to screw it up, so I will not be watching this.
Shinji isn't a likable guy. You can think of his character as kind of like Baltar from the new BS:G. Important to the story, a bit crazy, and not really likable. Except NGE does a bit more with him since he's the single, central character (unlike BS:G's approach with a central cast of equally important characters).Catchy Slogan said:
