The Japanese Blu-ray is going to be released in a month I think. But they won't come with proper subs, so we'll have to wait for the official subs, which is needed because the character names, ranks, locations, and military hardware all need to be placed properly on the screen

GODDAMMIT FUNIMATION WHAT ARE YOU GOOD FOR

>>80064039
I'm betting 4 months after the Jap version is released

>>80064042
It's probably a licensing thing, BDs in Japan are rediculously expensive, like $70-80. They don't want a $25 Funimation version getting reverse imported by savvy Japanese shoppers online.

>>80064158

I remember when FLCL was the new hot shit and you could get the boxset with 2 episodes her disc for a steal, when I looked over at the initial jap release it was a barebones single disc with 1 ep for 60 bucks.

Was it competing against serious movies? I saw godzilla it was pretty silly

There was Rage, which looked good. mfw Your Name got snubbed

Also, its hard to interpret foreign films the same way that the foreigners do. Godzilla is so engrained in Japan's psyche, and Shin Godzilla apparently expressed a lot of the anxiety in Japan in relation to the handling of Fukushima

>Shin Godzilla seriously was just a chore to sit through.

Look, I get it, you wanted this movie to say something again and at times it does have some powerful imagery and allegory with SOME rightfully earned dramatic tension, but it's mostly just a rather horribly paced slog. It spends so much time on the politics of the whole situation, without much of the actual intrigue to keep viewers truly invested. Sometimes it almost seems like it's a directorial exercise of how many different ways he can shoot people talking in a room and the back of their heads. .

Look, I'm not saying I need a mindless monster movie, I can appreciate a more cerebral film as well as a popcorn flick, but this political talk is done to such an obsessive degree that it's literally them mulling over every little detail for the most part without much at all to break up that monotony.

And I'm not even saying it had to just have more Godzilla, I would have voted to also have a pair of boots on the ground to view the destruction from a different angle, and also possibly bring in an element of personal drama for the politicians who all seem strangely unphased by the possibility a giant creature potentially killed their family ravaging through Tokyo. Just a different perspective than a goddamn board room meeting would have eased it up, and even bring even more of an emotional angle to it all. Like, that scene that reminded me of the Tsunamis that hit Japan a few years ago, that was powerful. Imagine another pair of eyes on the receiving end. But it's one shot after these politicians just like, "hey, look at this, well back to the meeting."

>Also, while the scenes with Godzilla are still pretty great, the middle of the film is where it really picks up. And the ending is just pretty anti-climatic. Yea, you can argue that's technically a little more realistic as not everything needs to go out with a bang, but is it wrong for me to still be under the impression that this is still SUPPOSED to be a Godzilla movie? Guys, some more excitement wouldn't hurt. Understand your source material's legacy.

>It's by no means the worst Godzilla film ever, but it sure as hell isn't the best either. I don't care what anyone says, but the American 2014 remake had more to appreciate if you ask me. It was still very much a Godzilla film, and when he was on screen, it was the Kaiju fights of dreams. But I also appreciated the pretty tense, horror movie-ish cinematography throughout. It's not perfect, and not even my favorite Godzilla film, but I was at least fairly entertained throughout. Like, 70% of Shin Godzilla was just, lack of a better term, straight up boring.

>And this rant is keeping my personal hatred of Hideaki Anno's previous work and sometimes himself aside.

You're forgetting that this film is directed by Hideaki Anno. As if some autist Evangelion fan won't spend a month translating all this shit and placing it properly.

damn
shin godzilla's defense force is so irritating

>>80063979
I remember seeing March 22 somewhere. We won't see worldwide release until Q3 of this year. Fansubbing will have decent subs out for this within a week of the Japanese bluray's release. I want to buy this one legitimately but Toho sitting on their ass has basically killed that. By the time it's actually out I'll have forgotten about it or simply don't care anymore.

>>80064704
i posted before I refreshed the page

>>80064794
I love Shin Godzilla but it's got some issues, especially some dodgy CGI during his first and second forms.

>>80064347
this is essentially the explanation.

they returned godzilla to its roots and made a film that resonated with the kind of anxiety and fear japanese citizens experienced, and that really didn't have the same impact abroad. that's why Toho was initially skeptical of a worldwide release.

A lot of the criticism overseas levied that too much of the film took place in meeting rooms, and that kinda makes it abundantly clear that foreign viewers didn't understand why those sorts of scenes actually had a very different meaning with the jap audience.

>>80064930
Thing that bothered me was some of the sound mixing. I know that they used the original explosion effects and music from the 1954 film without editing it (because Anno is just that autistic), but its sometimes hard to hear the music over the sfx. Its most noticeable when he evolves from his first to second form, which is a shame because the music was goat. I wish I could find a proper clip as an example, but I can only find videos of people taking a cell-phone video of their computer screens.

>>80064930
it had a very small budget and tons of cgi, i thought it was very well made for what it is, but yeah, sometimes it can get distracting.

all the tanks planes and choppers were cgi too

Ha, silly pleb gooks. They'll never understand our true appreciation for cinema.

oh

its breathless

Shin Godzilla was fucking ludicrously incredible. One of the most exciting Japanese films I have ever seen and by far and away the best Godzilla movie.

Maybe it helps that I've seen Evangelion before it, (I think it's shit) but for some reason Anno's formula works incredibly well in the context - 2016 Japan, a nuclear metaphor, the juxtaposition of bureaucracy with the primal rage of nature.

Only those with low intelligence and/or WAAAHH MOOOOM WHEN WILL THEY GET TO THE MONSTERRR kiddies will dislike the point of the human sides. The strongest point of the human scenes is that they don't turn one of them (least of all a pre-teen boy) into a sci-fi protagonist. I can't even remember anyone's fucking names, but the point is, PEOPLE get shit done.

It's just a beautiful, incredible, powerful film. I hope they never do a sequel.

>>80068355
I guess it makes a little more sense. I remember once critic saying that Anno was heavily influenced by Godard

>>80064782
Eva fans resent this movie because it's not another shitty Rebuild.

>>80068456
Oh boy. I have a long history with Evangelion. I got into it when I was a very young teen and it blew my mind. I'm thankful for it opening my mind to on-point design (character, mecha, formatting and general stylization) but the narrative is such a shit-show no matter which version you're talking about. I'm probably not going to be able to give you a very full answer, but I dislike the dissonance in the message of the narrative and what the series has become.

A lot of people say "it's bullshit" without fully understanding all the elements that go into it; I wouldn't use that word but it is needlessly, seemingly deliberately, convoluted. Aesthetically, it's cool as shit and still to this day has some of the most impressive animation I've ever seen, but it's a mess of a story trying to be important and ultimately says nothing new. Instead of doing what it pretended it would do, it rode the wave of popularity and became what it is today: very poor quality reboots and hot glue models of Rei and Asuka. It masquerades as this revolutionary work of Art (capital A) when it was derivative of better shows that handle similar themes better (GunBuster, Bubblegum Crisis). If anything Yoshiyuki Sadamoto deserves the credit for his design work instead of Anno. Shin Godzilla should be considered the latter's magnum opus because the titanic difference in quality is self-evident.

>>80068843
what makes you single out sadamoto's work on eva in particular?

>>80068974
I read the manga first. He is also the one who refined Anno's original designs (i.e. the white EVA-01) into their final designs. I'm a big FLCL fan as well; again, it's the aesthetics that make it memorable. Sadamoto probably stuck with me because I eventually went into animation myself; prior to exposure to Evangelion's complex scientific aesthetic I was stuck with clunky western box design.
