Speaking of which, (you may know), have they ever released the specials on DVD? Just something that popped up now.
I wish! Youtube has them if you search around.
Yeah-I want to see Fantastic Mr.Fox for three reasons:
A: George Clooney is the Best
B: Wes Anderson is great (Darjeeling Limited = The Best)
C: I love animation in all forms.
Speaking of which, last night I finally got to see the first of four theatrical reboots of one of the all time best Animated Series to ever hit the public consciousness: Neon Genesis Evangelion. Basically if say
Mobile Suit Gundam is the
Star Wars of Japan, then
Evangelion is the
Watchmen of Japan. (Only a billion times more popular than watchmen is in America, even with the movie.)
So the movie is Evangelion 1.01: You Are (Not) Alone, and I highly recommend it for A: Fans of the Series, B: People who know of or have seen parts of the orginals and want to get the whole picture, or C: Are very interested in taking the first step into a much larger animated world. Evangelion's always been a puzzler and aside from Great Characters, a Great Story, I think Eva is more popular than all get out is because it really makes you think. (And makes you think about the Bible and Classical Music...Not usual for any series of anything.) There's alot going on here, but for the most part, the best byproduct of separating what was a 30 episode series and a Movie, into Four Solid movies, is that the emotional core of each part of the story takes center stage, and should root the new changes coming later in the story in the emotional core that makes Evangelion so good and appeals to all people of a certain nature.
So anyone who really wants to open their mind to psychological and emotional storytelling should give Evangelion a shot, starting with this movie. The best part is that this movie recaptures the "wow" of the first part of the series, before it gets really introspective in the upcoming movies...I can't wait to see where they are going with it!
Anyways, Eva 1.01: You Are (Not) Alone, now on DVD! Go Buy/Rent it, seekers of entertainments!
