With the english release of the new Neon Genesis Evangelion movie, Funimation has released it's trailer for the movie. In making the trailers, funimation has decided to opt for large explosions and big action, while the Japanese trailers had a much more soothing tone, evoking memories of the original series. btw, I'm not asking which dub you prefer, just vote based on which trailer style you like better. Funimation's trailer Original Japanese trailers Sourcebtw, I voted for the original japanese trailer. My decision was probably swayed by Utada Hikaru's "Beautiful World". I love that song. |

Hmmm... I am tempted to take that bet and say we all will vote for the Funimation version but then I will be lying to myself. I would have nightmares on NGE and Studio Gainax will never forgive me. Therefore, I won't take your bet and I will go with the obvious choice. Why?
(1) If you really appreciate NGE, you will ALWAYS go for the original version, no matter how advanced technology has become.
(2) I love the song "Beautiful World."
(3) Following up on point 2, the singer, Hikaru Utada, also sings both Kingdom Hearts theme songs. This alone should indicate epic win.
(4) The Funimation version of NGE focused on explosions and pretty much violence. If I wanted to see tons of explosion and violence, I would watch "Transformers." Of course, I don't want to see that now. Besides, I love watching the subliminal messages in certain anime, NGE being one of them. The themes of religion and post-apocalypse being a few of them.
With that said, original Japanese version wins.

Hikaru = awesome, but Uematsu > Hikaru

I love the original anime series, but I'm really interested in seeing the movie too. I heard there are some subtle changes from the series, but these were rumors way back in the day, before they came out in Japan. I plan on going to it!

As for changes in the movie, there is of course the addition of the new character, Mari Makinami.  |

Surrreee you are Prez. I will also kid around with the pictures (*looking in harddrive for fanservice pics.... preparing the arsenal!!*).
I'm down to go see NGE as a group. I'll shoot an email to the club either Wednesday or Thursday to let them know of the opportunity. Looking forward to meeting with the new people.
