Evangelion 1.01 You are not alone

Post by StarBound »

I've watched the series, the 4 platinum redone episodes aswell as End of evangelion. Anyone else that has should be familiar with the story to. So what is eva 1.01? Its a summarized, 90 minute movie of the first 6 episodes altered and edited for a new age.

It looks better than the first as expected. The voice overs for Shinji, Misato and his father are close to the original. Rei doesnt sound as lifeless as she did in the series, Ritsuko sounds a bit more mature and Shinjis friends ...sounds too american and wimpy. The voice subbing compared to the first gives a filled feeling to scenes but you cant help but get a feeling that its been child proofed even if the scenes in this is more bloody and gory than the first. Kinda like having sound censored when showing a porn movie. Whats the point? Your not really changing the rating of the movie that way.

The plot will leave fans with a look of WTF on their faces as some changes take place. Not trying to spoil but...
Spoiler (show)
Misato shows Shinji the 2nd angle before going into battle with the 5th. Rei is set up to get close to Shinji by his father. Kauru is awoken at the end of the episode. And his friends doesnt have the same start or feeling that they are his friends.
Other than that some scenes are cut short which is good. Shinji's run away is shorter but has less interaction with his friends. Episode 2 is acted out in an action scene. On the one hand its good. On the other it means we are in for a shock at the end.

For all its effort I give it 4/5. Its good, it can be better, it can be truer to the original but we are in for something different that will keep fans hooked.
