Still being a noob to anime (a few months) I think that all the tries to mainstream anime in the US has produced butcher versions of what was anime.

I don't know about you, but that "stuff" you are talkin about isn't why I liked Eva. I was emotionally inept when I watched Eva and alot of the "stuff" they point out in Eva....has been done in this country before, so it's not.......how do you say....NEW? I think that's the word, new yea; it's not new. (oh and nor was it new when Eva came out)

We might as well face facts:
Shinji, Asuka and Rei will be renamed John, Jill and Marge.
NERV will be turned into the U.N.
SEELE will simply be cut out and the production EVAs will come out of nowhere and Asu-I mean Jill will beat them without a drop of blood being spilt.
All the actors will be american with no knowledge of anime in general, let alone NGE.
And finally Pen-Pen will be replaced with a new character who will have no influence on the plot at all.

This is gonna be one great movie!!!

i hope you are joking

It was pretty new for it to be so...tied into the plot so tightly that you think its not important till the last two eps, damn those eps were complicated the first time i watched them...

yeah i agree. the last 2 eps were just... a lil disturbing at first, but really good after watching them again.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there on the basis that I'm 98.5%sure that Stan did the special effects for T3 as well...

Yup. Most of the time, it doesn't even look like CGI.

Yes, Stan Winston did what little animatronics and make-up effects there were. However, the majority of Arnold's damaged figure was done green-screen with CGI (which can't show the texture and high-quality detail of Stan Winston's appliance work in T2). As for the endoskeletons, those were done all CGI, and those didn't seem as realistic to me as the endoskeletons in T2. For the T2 endoskeletons, they had the upper torso mounted on a rig worn by the puppetteers, which operated the arms, while cables and R/C equipment operated everything on the head, and detailed finger movements (the "wounded" endoskeleton, during the T2 future war sequence).

Take a look at T2 again, and the special effects (except for the CGI, of course) are still extrordinary. The difference between James Cameron, and other directors, is the fact he prefers to do as much as possible in the real world, so reflections, textures, and the motion of objects, characters, etc, all look the same with respect to the other scenes. Even a majority of the T-1000 special effects were done in real-time, rather than CGI.
