EVANGELION 3.01.0 US RELEASE SERIES

Many familiar images from the original anime are brought back such as ReiвЂ™s decapitated head, Asuka and Shinji on the beach, and the original animeвЂ™s title card.Дreamlike sequences, a prolonged action sequence, and exposition, set up the final confrontation between Shinji and his father Gendo. Techniques like shaky cam, panning, and establishing shots are replicated in animation to great effect.Д®vangelion вЂ™s famous surrealism and disjointed editing are brought back in the filmвЂ™s second half. While many other anime films only use static shots and few cuts, Thrice Upon a Time вЂ™s shot composition is clearly inspired by AnnoвЂ™s live-action work. WhatвЂ™s also refreshing is AnnoвЂ™s attention to вЂњcinematographyвЂќ. The art and shading even rivals Makoto ShinkaiвЂ™s Your Name. Vibrant, beautiful backgrounds are abundant in the film, giving it an almost live-action feel. In contrast to the desolate sterile environments of the previous Rebuild films, Thrice Upon a Time shows nature reclaiming the earth after the apocalypse. The message is clear: our main castвЂ™s adolescent angst is something that must be shed if the world is to survive. We had to grow up in a hurry and learn to do everything on our own.вЂќ Shinji wallows in self-pity, Asuka remains bitter, and Rei struggles to understand basic human interaction.Дescribing his experience during the apocalyptic events of the previous films, Toji says, вЂњIt wasnвЂ™t a world where clueless kids could survive. While the main castвЂ™s peers have gone on to start families or become leaders in their community, the вЂњimportantвЂќ characters now seem childish and pathetic. Toji and Kensuke-the goofy, dimwitted duo from early on in the story-have become the mature, responsible characters. The village represents a world that has moved on and matured, in contrast to the stunted main cast. The filmвЂ™s opening hour (taking place in the village) is Thrice Upon a Time at its best. After being found by Kensuke and Toji (supporting characters from early on in the series), theyвЂ™re taken to a safe, primitive village hidden away from the apocalypse outside. After a second near-apocalypse caused by Shinji, our main trio (Shinji, Asuka, and Rei) spend the opening credits wandering a desolate wasteland. Thrice Upon a Time picks up where You Can (Not) Redo ends. Oftentimes, it doesnвЂ™t match up to some of The End of Evangelion вЂ™s more haunting and surreal scenes, but on the whole, itвЂ™s equally interesting. In contrast to The End of Evangelion, Thrice Upon a Time is a much more optimistic and traditionally вЂњcinematicвЂќ experience. Even the filmвЂ™s ending demonstrates this with Asuka saying вЂњhow disgustingвЂќ right after she comforts the enraged Shinji. Throughout the film, thereвЂ™s the underlying theme of powerlessness and despair.Д®ach moment of tenderness or heroism is offset by something repulsive and uncomfortable. The film ended the animeвЂ™s story with a surreal, nightmarish, apocalypse that blurred the lines of cinema and reality. The End of Evangelion is one of the most bizarre, moving, and disturbing animated films ever made. All this considered, Thrice Upon a Time has the monumental task of measuring up to the franchiseвЂ™s two previous endings (the original anime and The End of Evangelion movie), as well as clean up the messy plot of its predecessor, You Can (Not) Redo. While Evangelion will probably continue for decades to come, Anno has stated that this is his final involvement with the franchise. ДЄs the title suggests, this is the third time Evangelion has come to an end. With all the hype and potential profit, it was only logical for Anno to continue the franchise with the controversial Rebuild of Evangelion film series, which has finally come to an end with Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time. Nevertheless, the Evangelion franchise has stayed big, despite its creator. From big budget thrillers like Shin Godzilla to bizarre art films like Ritual, Anno hasnвЂ™t let the Evangelion define him.
