After that I was able to enjoy the film, though I had to rewind it a little a couple of times when there was a lot of dialogue to read and stuff happening on the screen at the same time.
Cheers for that I thought it was totally borked, at least I can now salvage a better viewing from it....

Like others my first viewing was Akira english dub, made quite surreal with the fact it had one of the ninja turtles (leonardo?) doing one of the voices........

Stick to subtitles.

Yeah, the fact that Shinji's just a normal confused teenager who's had his role as an Eva pilot thrust on him rather than being a fearless adult warrior adds so much to it.

Rei is quite haunting...

Gah, I find she really grates! I thought she might have improved a bit after the, um, (tries to avoid spoilers), the bit with the special pilots suit. Oh well...

Misato more than makes up for her, though. I don't get why Shinji bangs on about her being a slob so much. A total babe that drinks beer for breakfast, eats curry, drives like a maniac and commands Giant Robots. What more could a man want? 8)

Gee, I must have had a bizarre beginning... the first anime I properly saw was Dragon Half, and my main favourites at the moment are Azumanga Daioh ond Haibane Renmei...

Evangelion was great until the last 8 episodes, where it deteriated into total bollocks :(

I loved the moody girl, and the one who lived with Shinji (the older girl). The ginger lass was a biatch. Shinji wanted slapping around the head for being a wet pansy.

Ah, you must've only seen the last 2 "normal" eps :?

Dig up "The End Of Evangelion" on DVD. It's the "original" final two episodes that resolve the series in a far nicer manner... where the eps screened on TV wrapped up with a "we've all got to llove each other" theme, TEOE turns it into a bloodbath 8O

Doh! I've still got (I think) six episodes to see, as well as the two films. Oh well, I'll finish it anyway.

Asuka. That's the only one I don't like. Oh, and that stubbly-chinned bloke that always runs away who was introduced in the same episode as Asuka. He grates a bit too.

Ritsuko (the blond scientist) and Maya (the brunette tech) are nice as well, though. :)

Spirited Away. Actually any film by Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki, but especially Spirited Away as you can see it on the big screen in two weeks time, as it goes on general release. Seehere for a list of cinemas. It won an Oscar for best animated feature and is the top grossing film of all time in Japan, so by some measures is the best Anime of all time - though personally I prefer Miyazaki's earlier works.

Is that the one where she has another world inside her? That little girl really weirds me out.
