A new Evangelion film “Eva 2.0: You can(not) Advance” reached on all cinema complexes in Japan. And so far, the reception of the film has nothing short of expectation for the fans of the 90s anime cult classic. It climbed to the number 1 spot ranking at the Japanese Box Office after its first weekend performance and hundreds or thousands of people reckon it was a great film to watch. Obviously, this is quite a major celebration for the die-hard fans who adores the film as well as the return of their favourite characters, Shinji, Ikari, Asuka, Misato and the others back onto the screen again. Only this time, there are minor differences between the old TV series and the new movie threatre as the new one heightens the quality and clarity of cinematic scenes at such great detail.
Unfortunately, any fans or otakus who don’t live in Japan would be disappointed to miss out everthing unless there are truly desparate wanting to watch it, can travel to the Animotion Film Festival in Brohn, Germany this year. The festival runs from July 21st to 2nd August.
Well…. as if I can make such arrangements to travel all the way there just to watch the film and come back! It wouldn’t be very rational thing to do (although not impossible). I wonder whether this film ever comes out in our New Zealand anime conventions….
