As much as Jung is proto-Asuka, Electra is proto-Ritsuko, with the Nadia & Nemo relationship also sharing much in common with Shinji & Gendo. Hell, the situation with the Blue Water & Nadia's mother also heavily mirrors that of Eva-01 & Shinji's mother. Fuyutski is like a negative (or positive if you will) version of Gargoyle, with Neo Atlantis & their goals being not to different from Seele. Nerv, including its fate, mirrors much of what happened to the Nautilus, and I suppose Misato would most closely resemble Grandis. Much of what made Eva great was built up from Nadia, perhaps it was Anno trying to save what would have been his masterwork in the only way he could, by taking the base framework & re-using it in something that was more under his control. Looking at Anno's other works (including the live action ones), we know he's perfectly capable of telling other stories, I think it was just that he wanted to take another stab at telling that one, and did so in the guise of making an entirely different show. Which reminds me, I really do need to get around to watching Shikjitsu.

FOR ME TO POOP ON!

"Metal Gear Solid 4" BTW, for those who have home, how much space does it take up? I've yet to upgrade my HD, and only have about 19 or so gigs left.

Nadia was definately far more of a proto-Evangelion, hell, it even has Adam. I'd love to see Anno take a new stab at Nadia, without any of the meddling that hampered the TV series (island episodes, africa episodes, etc). Despite all the sabotage, it still stands as a beautiful series.

I tend to be warry of shareware, especially ones that involve my internet connection. Hell, I'm not even on bittorrent. Right now I'm hoping Sony brings over the Japanese PS3 adhoc hub to the U.S.

I played Sad Sniper more times than I care to remember, both before & after trying to level of Michel. My regular levelled up michel had significantly different stats & selectable pilot skills than the one in the EX mission. The various end of mission fail screens showed a bare bones unleveled pilot, but let me max out the tune points on the VF-25G. No matter how many times I played that mission, there was never an increase in pilot stats, nor did it show a reflection in the increase in Michel's pilott stats, or pilot skill changes that I did in other stages. Just what are you basing your assumption on?

Pad superior, jostick inferior!

Has anyone else purchased the new MEME expansion for MGO? The new maps are overall much better than the last batch, iwth the new snow one being the best out of the bunch. The newer interfaces with the 1.2 update are also pretty nice.

If you really want a character named Keith in kana with fully unlocked stats & maxed out hearts, here you go BTW, the pilots aren't maxed out at 100% yet, nor do all have all their pilot skills yet, i've taken a break to play Gundam Vs Gundam ULJS00158000.zip

YF-21 isn't so tough, most Valkyries in Battroid can dodge the SP, just c keep circling & it should miss.

Actually, thats backwards. R aising pilot stats/skills makes no difference in EX missions, but tune points carry.

The Gunbuster video is a bit on the grainy side, but thats to be expected with its age. Mind you I don't have an HD TV so, but it sill looks good through component. As for the extras, the first is a press event featuring cast & crew about the release. The next is a doc about the making of & new recording sessions. T he third is the trailer, & the last is audio spots & an audio "what if" Nono & Noriko met. But that is the untranslated stuff.

Hmm, still not sure about this one.

But it has the Turn-A, I must have it!

Nope, something you had to sign up for?

Yup, exactly the same subtitles.

That was already explained in TNG. The Protoculture took a stroll around the ST universe, and seeded all their planets too.

saraba chikyuu yo tabidatsu fune wa uchuu senkan ENTERPRISE!

Just checked, all the R2 extra's are there, and all except for the radio drama's are subtitled. Stranger yet still, the only way to get to the radio drama's is to select Japanese menu's at the first load screen.

Just got my set today, haven't watched it yet, but so far it already has a major advantage over the U.S. DVD release. The Bluray has a 3rd disc with what looks like all the extra's from the R2 DVD release. I'll check the disc in the morning to see if any of those extra's are subtitled. The packaging is also much nicer. Aside from the better picture of Nono on the front, the back of the box now has Amano & Larc.

The sub only disc's were 6 disc's too, these will have the exact same episode count.

Hard to tell. Bandai did license the opening/ending clips + full ost of Eureka Seven, but chances are Gurra Parra would cost a lot more than that did.
