Is Evangelion a dead IP?
>>284539179In terms of new content? Probably.But you only need to look at Japan to see just how much of a stranglehold this franchise still has over everything.
It's a fully realized IP with a clear visionNot everything has to be endlessly milked for money *cough* Fate *cough*
>>284539411>endlessly milked for moneyYou could argue the Rebuilds were an attempt at doing exactly this.
>>284539642Better than a mobile gacha
>>284539642It was definitely intended to extend its viability.
>>284539642>>284539642I don't like rebuilds but you can argue that Evangelion did need a modern resolution uplift, not to mention the one or two episodes that looked grainy as shit in the official dvd release due to Anno losing the original cells.
>>284539179Would it have been more successful if Shinji and Rei got together?
>>284539179Only if you're lucky.
Anno is a hack.
>>284539642Except the part where it fucking ended, dude.
>>284539720You don't scan animation cels for a re-release, you scan film reels.
>>284539720>modern resolution upliftThen they should've just redone the animation instead of making a gay self-insert fanfiction
>>284542125>Then they should've just redone the animation instead of making a gay self-insert fanfictionthat's normally the kind of argument used to milk a series endlessly.
>>284539642Rebuild ended so conclusively that its unthinkable that they could do anything else with those characters again.
>>284542037>Except the part where it fucking endedWhich time?
>>284539179what a stupid fucking question.what an age we're living in where people think if a franchise isn't getting milked it's "dead" fuck you.
>>284542964Unless Anno needs more money that is.
I mean it outlived Gainax
>>284542992Everything ends eventually. One Piece will end. The rebuilds still took almost 15 years.
>>284542964They forgot to depict Asuka’s happiness.
>>284543453She seems pretty happy with me.
>>284543563Yeah but that doesn’t appear in the movie. They’ll have to include it as an after credit or OVA or something.
>>284543621I'm a bit camera shy but I'll do it for her sake.
>>284543725They’ll rotoscope a better face on you (mine).
>>284539179>Is Evangelion a dead IP?It's been a dead IP since July 19th 1997. The story is finished, it had a start, middle and end, it is over. Every thing that came after that is just slop for the pigs. Thinking of Evangelion as an "IP" instead of something that happened is just going to depress you.
>>284539179No, i think there is still some to be done with it, however, it's going to be more of a prequel to the events of the 2nd impact more than anything thing about probably follow character we know already that lead up to series' beginnings, at least then it would add more context to all the weird shit we saw in the background during the series.
>>284539179No? There's no anime coming out right now, but they're currently in the end stages of a huge 30th anniversary marketing campaign.https://30th.evangelion.jp/It's gonna end with a festival this February, and they're sure to announce a bunch of stuff there too.
>>284539179At some point they talked about a spin off series during the Rebuild time skip
>>284544433>At some point they talked about a spin off seriesOh? Interes...>Rebuildblahh
>>284544862The rebuild replaced the original canon.
>>284544918There are starting to be Soryu’s spotted out in the wild again.
>>284539179Yea, and that's genuinely, unironically a good thing.
>>284545250Thank god.
>>284545340>germanic birdsong
>>284545371Fucking nice. It's a good thing I'm not a figure buyfag.
>>284545371FYI, "Germanic" refers not only to Germans, but to the entire ethnos that includes White Americans, Englishmen, and Norsemen.
>>284543862*March 27, 1996
>>284545371>Manga/Shikinaki hair tufts & tailsNein.
>>284545952No. 25+26 will be tolerated but End is what those episode should have been and a masterpiece.
Anno is a fag>never gave us a Zeta Gundam>never gave us a Char's Counter Attack>wants some nobodies to go straight to making G Gundam for himThe IP isn't dead alt universe Eva in name only is coming.
>>284545860She’s got most of that covered.
>>284545967A sculpting error it would seem. The suit bears the Soryu style collar at least.
>>284546190EoE is a mediocre film, your pic is a character assassination moment
>>284540256It would be more successful if Misato didn't die in EoE and they did the rest when Shinji got back.
>>284539179I thought he wants it to continue in some capacity after he dies
>>284540256It would conclusively answer which pairing is best for Shinji (and correctly so). But the Asuka v Rei war would continue nonetheless. unless you think none of the characters need to be paired up first and foremost, they need therapy.
>>284546552He can't 'get with' rei. The circumstances of the world they're in mean that either rei merges with Lillith or an angel gets there first and humanity is wiped out. Rei's tragedy beyond just being used as a tool and cloned back to life numerous times is that she finally realizes she wants to live and make her own choices but time runs out and the final choice she can make for herself is to help shinji.
>>284539411rebuild exists though, the milking already happened
>>284539642It was so Anno could build up Khara as a credible studio and make tokusatsu movies
>>284539179they could do a live action adaptation
>>284549217Done in 2012
