MasqueradeOverture Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 First episode was super simple and tropey. A lot of things directly ripping off Evangelion, but for a younger audience it feels like.

Evangelion took a ton of its cues from Ultraman, which this show is a look at. Anno is actually directing a movie adaptation of it called Shin Ultraman, similar to Shin Godzilla, because he’s a fan. Granted the lawsuit has kept Ultra stuff mostly off these shores until a few years back with the manga, Netflix series, and Youtube channel episodes, but Ultraman was on US television in the 60’s and Turner aired Ultraman and Ultraseven on TNT. It’s not an Evangelion ripoff like the US tends to think...everything is. Edited January 18, 2021 by Jman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Welp, time for another week of answering questions that have likely already been answered and telling my fellow UEMBers that they're stupid for acting like parodies of themselves. Or not. Mochi and Elfie have suffered enough of my complaints, it's best not to dogpile right now. On 1/17/2021 at 2:32 AM, CorbeauKarasu said: UNFAMILIAR CEILING My thoughts exactly.

I remember that one phase in my life where I put lettuce on my hot dogs. I think it was in 2012 either during or after my pre-AO rewatch of Eureka seveN, precisely because the hot dogs they had in one episode had lettuce on them as well. Must be a Japanese thing, like green tea-flavored sweets or pancakes as thick as Rikka's thighs.

And that was after Anno and Tsurumaki left with several others to form Khara. But at least then, we had Imaishi, Yoshinari, Amemiya and the others to tide us over until they brought Trigger into being. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
