+ I fucking hate "Fly Me to The Moon"

I don't even think you could consider the two Japanese trailers to even be trailers; there is no narration or coherent plot illustration. If anything, they are just industry-backed AMV's.

"In a world constantly attacked by beings from a another dimension, a young boy struggles to save his city... and earn his father's respect."

"Toby Maguire as Shinji Ikari..."

"...Miley Cyrus as Asuka Shikinami..."

"...and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the voice of EVA-01."

"One boy... one giant robot. Neon Genesis Evangelion."

XD XD XD XD

the end.

Protip: The Japanese trailer doesn't tell you shit, unless you were already a raving otaku. The American trailer tries desperately to make it an all-action blockbuster. Both are failures because the story didn't need to be rewritten in the first place.

Honestly, weeaboos need to stop being such bitches. Obvious the US version is better than the Japanese version, which looks like a shit quality AMV.

But that does not mean I shouldn't find the dubbing for the American release shit house when it is shit house. I look at the things objectively, my aim is not looking for some worst case scenario versus some other equally terrible solution. Yes, the word is weird but it isn't all that difficult to pronounce. I can say it exactly like how the people who invented the word say it, I am sure the voice actors can too. But the way they say Evangelion is only the tip of the iceberg of how terribly stiff the acting sounds. I am not some purist that is against things being dubbed, just employ people who don't sound like robots.

@Anonymous:

Well, I felt that since the beginning there were a lot of both psychological and social factors being shown subtly.

Mind you, that's just my point of view in the matter, so what I saw isn't necessarily what you saw too. xD

The problem is that this is a movie, so a couple of things are lost in the process. We only have one released at the moment, so maybe we could make a better argument when they end all of this and finally could compare the differences between the original and the re-make (and obviously, the trailers).

But oh well, I have to agree with you in the fact that the original show progressively introduces, most notably in the later episodes, the psychological factors and the existential problem of Shinji. =)

my problem with american trailers is that it's spelling out the story for me through key events. key events that i'd rather be nicely surprised by than spoilt. I do watch these things ALSO for the animation.

and as for the faggots who hate on naruto and GTO, don't be so elitist. Just because it's popular doesn't make it not good, learn how to have fun.

Plus, if you guys watch TV shows like Heroes, Lost and such, that takes away your right from hating on Naruto since it's written and directed better than a lot of the typical american shows you'd watch instead so you can pretend you're more socially acceptable.

That song on the JP trailer is Hikaru Utada right? I know I've heard it before.... *just checked* Glad I can still recognise her voice lol.
