>The world famous anime Neon Genesis Evangelion has officially been picked up by HBO for a live action adaptation under the title, Evangelion
>The short series will run 26, 40 minute episodes adapting the anime and beyond
>HBO has yet to announce a director and cast, but promises a teaser trailer revealing both by the end of the summer.
>Talks of adapting the anime finale, End of Evangelion for a theatrical film have also surfaced.
It's fucking happening.
fake and gay
Cast them, /tv/
>>83682262
as long as they don't do the fucked up bullshit tv ending and go straight to the end of evangelion
>>83682262
kill yourself
there will never be a good western adaptation of classic animu
face the truth so you don't have to experience the disappointment
>>83682412
Gendo - White
Shinji - Half Asian
Rei - Asian
Asuka - German/white
Misato - Asian
Kowaru - Asian
Kaji - White
Fuyutsuki - White
Rest of Nerv - Asian
Shinjis classmates - Asian except the 2 main kids
Keel and the rest of Selee - Faceless/multicultural once we see their faces in EoE
>>83682412
Asa Butterfield as shinji
alexia ioannides as that autist rei
>>83682603
Asuka would be black, I guarantee it. Shinji white, like most of the cast, Rei asian.
odds that shinji will be a nigger?
>>83682262
>Sorry, the page you are looking for cannot be found or has been deleted
>>83682603
this isn't diverse enough anon we need some blacks and maybe an arab in there
ya got me op, good one
>>83682603
>Asuka - German/white
She's half American though, so they'd definitely make her some stong black woman
Also, Fuyutsuki should be Asian if Rei/Yui is IMO. Makes more sense when he's cucked by Gendo's BWC
>>83682262
Sure, OP is full of shit, but this would probably happen in our lifetimes. Think about that...
its fake nigger
also, america wouldn't care about making Eva faithful
an HBO remake would be filled with
>disgusting 3DPD
>make asuka a black girl
>not set in japan
>overabundance of action
>no more religious symbolism
>jew it up
>have to have one actor that everyone recognized most likely a GoT shit or some gay shit
>>83682849
>>83682818
>>83682668
>they'd make asuka a black girl
I'm okay with this. she's as bitchy as one anyways
also it would be a nice middle finger to waifu fags
>>83682262
As if hbo would be desperate enough to make some anime bullshit
Rei will be black.
Yui will be black.
Gendo will be white.
Shinji is mixed.
This is the plan so far.
>>83682603
i say:
Gendo - Black
Shinji - white (mother is european). also shinji is not really gendo biological father. shinji is a biological creation and the mother was just the incubator. but mom still loves shinji.
rei - another biological creation. clone of shinji's mother but modified. asian.
asuka - german/white (real red head)
misato - asian
kowaru - black/mixed
kaji - hispanic
fuyutsuki - asian
rest of nerv - mix of german/asian/white (throw in some black officers)
shinji's classmates - hispanic, indian, blacks, some whites (these are all orphans/adopted), they are also part of nerv's selective breeding.
keel/selee - knight rider type of voice boxes
>>83682849
>not set in japan
Is it that important when the whole thing takes place in a single semi-futuristic fortress city?
Most of what we know of modern day Japan is said to be a nuclear wasteland or is shown as being underwater.
>>83682849
You do know the religious symbolism had no actual meaning and was put in because they thought it was cool, right?
>>83683159
it's important because it's rare that an American or foreign father would treat their son so coldly, especially one in a high position of government.
The cold shoulder thing is strictly a Japanese/asian thing.
>>83683235
this is why it wont be put in tho.
>>83683235
It's a part of the visual style. That's enough of a reason not to ditch it.
>adapting the anime and beyond
>Beyond
What should that be?
I'd hope content that ties the story into the greater Eva time loop that the Rebuilds are establishing. I'd love to see pic related and other non-anime scenes adapted
>>83683248
>it's rare that an American or foreign father would treat their son so coldly
It certainly is not. I know plenty of people who haven't heard from their dads in years or have fathers who are downright belligerent towards them
>>83682603
>once we see their faces in EoE
they showed up in person early in the series too, they only switched to the monoliths around the halfway mark
>>83683235
It adds to the tone and atmosphere. Even if it is meaningless, the show wouldn't be the same without it.
>>83682262
>no director and cast yet
>we'll have a teaser by the end of the summer
>already june
yeah fucking right
>>83682603
Kaji - Oscar Isaac
Misato - Olivia munn
Fuyutsuki - Robbie Williams.
Don't get too excited... HBO can't provide the kinda budget required to make the epic Eva battles everyone would want from this. Hell, just look at the fraction of the GoT budget that has to go toward making their crappy dragons. If anything, it will be some teen drama focused bs
>>83682603
Kaji is going to black
>>83683556
What the fugg
>>83683575
click the link, dumbass. Also if you're watching Evangelion for the battles, you're doing it wrong.
>>83683248
>American or foreign father would treat their son so coldly, especially one in a high position of government.
Dude are you fucking what?? That's one of the most cliche'd character backgrounds in western media, shitty military parents that move all the time treating their kids harshly, muh discipline and shit. Kids end up having no friends and no real parents.
>>83683514
Yea but idealy they would hold it off until EoE this time. I hated in the anime how we see their faces a few times and then they are hidden most of the show after that
>>83683575
> If anything, it will be some teen drama focused bs
I don't really think you watched Evangelion.
>>83683552
Yet to announce isn't the same thing as yet to cast
>>83682412
Shinji - justin beiber
Gendo - Josh Brolin
Misato - Mammario
Write red & blue out of the story to avoid the waifufag shitstorm
>>83683392
Anima influence maybe?
You niggers really want Susan Whitnall and Kate Rose?
>>83684000
Macross when
>>83683392
It would need to be pretty major stuff if the series is twice as long as the anime
>>83682650
>Asa Butterfield as himself
Wow, such a stretch
>>83683435
>>83683688
yeah but shinji in America would turn out like a shut in, or a degenerate. Shinji in japan under the same condition turns out to be shinji
>>83684299
Only because he's still 14
The point of the show is Anno saying "don't think like Shinji does, or you're destined to be some Otaku shut-in degenerate like I was"
>>83684233
Nigga, I know you're not trying to imply this counts as an NGE adaption.
>>83682262

The problem with a western live action Eva is that you either need to change the character's ages to keep the sexuality, or get rid of the sexuality to keep the characters 14.
But the issue is they both rely on each other to be effective. The Freudian sexual tension Shinji has with Misato and Rei is way less effective if they're 18 instead of 14. I really don't see how this can work.
Like if Asuka is 18, we can probably assume she's dated and had sex, which makes scenes like the kiss with Shinji have so much less meaning.
>>83684645
>Like if Asuka is 18, we can probably assume she's dated and had sex
If an American girl with Asuka's backstory turned up in a show at 18, you would probably assume there would also be a video of her online getting paid for it
>>83682262
Not like it's legacy can be ruined any more, oh well.
Friendly reminder.
>Kate Rose
>>83682412
Shinji- Thirteen Reasons Why dude
Asuka- Emma Roberts
Rei- That Poppy
Misato- MEW
>>83684645
imo you'd lose most of the presence of whole fear of symbolically leaving the womb aspect by aging them up to more 'stable' ages too. i'd say putting them in those years of flux around middle school is pretty key in general
op's such a nice guy by making me worry this while happen and then cheering my up by revealing he's a pathetic liar and Asuka is safe.
>>83684645
I agree, but I also think it's possible.
They would need to play the sexualization in a mature and appropriate way. Instead of fanservice of naked asuka, make her act in the same sexual way a 14 year old would.
Scenes like her baithing suit teasing shinji is something that could totally be kept in the show because it's completely realistic for a 14 year old.
How would they handle this scene?
>>83685250
By making Shinji look like he was a bad person for it instead of a normal teenage boy.
>>83682262
too late, too much shit that has already been released was inspired by it. Now people will just say it's "cliche'd" or quaint.
I can't wait for the asshole in /tv/ that says it's a ripoff of Pacific Rim...
>>83685303
This. Honestly I think the scene would be totally fine unchanged as long as it shows the absolute terror and dread he feels having done it. "I'm so fucked up" isn't going to cut it. I say that shit after fapping to black chicks. There should be an entire scene where he has to think hard about it
>>83682818
she's half german half japanese, the other one in the movies with the pink suit was american
>>83682262
Not going to watch this shit and hope it flops if all the characters aren't Asian except Asuka.
>>83682650
>Asa Butterfield as shinji
too old
Did you know that Joseph Chou has been in contact with Netflix for a little bit over a year now? That's surprising. I wonder what it could be about?
>>83684978
>Misato- MEW
I can only cry at the realization that this will never happen :(
>>83685416
iirc its german/jap mother and american or maybe american/german father
>>83682412
>>83682603
R8 and h8 pls m8
>>83685416
Nah, He mum's half German half Japanese. Dad's American.
Hence the surname Langley taken from some American warship
Pink girl in the new one is half-British or something, hence the stupid as fuck surname "Illustrious" from the carrier HMS Illustrious
>>83685303
but the movie did that too, sure he's neurotic because he regrets it, but it's never implied to be something normal or justifiable
>>83685593
>trash playing trash
Checks out.
>>83685613
ah, ok. what is it with japs and warships?
Kids are too old except rei
>>83685593
Ritsuko needs to be hotter, Misato also needs to be a white/asian mutt too.
>>83685758
Ritsuko in the anime is butt ugly though and tossed aside like trash by everyone. She's only good for FWB for Gendo
>>83685676
well an island nation is naturally going to be mainly a naval power, plus anyone with nationalist and/or military otaku leanings is going to have to look back to imperial japan to find anything interesting to study (although the sdf's naval forces are their most modern and least vestigial to be fair).
>>83685842
nah there's not much comment about how hot each adult character is besides Misato, but it's implied the reason why Ritsuko is perpetually single is that she's just a frigid bitch because of her mommy issues, otherwise she would be attractive enough. Kaji was more than willing to bone her in front of Misato if she let him.
>>83682412
Gary Oldman as Pen Pen
>>83685842
>tossed aside like trash by everyone
I figured it's just because she's just a bit of a cunt
Kaji wanted to fuck, Maya wanted to fuck, Gendo did fuck
>>83684834
>>83684645
Asuka could be 14 and still had multiple boyfriends and has had sex if this were America.
>>83685972
>Gendo did fuck
wut? didn't he fuck her mother, not her?
Finn as Shinji
Finn will probably be about the right age when they actually start filming.
>>83685964
She's also a workaholic with apparently no personal life outside of her cat.
>>83685985
she should complain about herpes flareups too
>>83682262
I just watched episode 3. When does this anime gets good?
>>83686070
fukken pleb
in all seriousness if you're a millenial it's not going to resonate that well with you
>>83685593
>be Asian
>manlet white dad
???
>mfw they make Shinji, Asuka and Rei etc too fucking old.
>>83686128
>mfw they make Shinju, Asuka, and Rei way too fucking white
>>83686119
jesus, what's the medical height treshold for dwarfism again?
>>83686070
Last 3rd. The beggining is also alright, middle is the bad part.
>>83686210
No I don't think they should be asian anyhow. It's Neo/New Tokyo where multi-culteralism has taken effect. It creates a tension where east meets west which would add to the reasoning behind the fucked up politics etc.
Older Finn for best Shinji
>>83682262
Don't EVER fucking do that again.
>>83682603
>Gendo - White
>Shinji - Half Asian
that makes so much sense now
>>83686007
He fucked them both. She rants at him in End of Evangelion about using her as his fuck-toy
>>83685303
He isn't a normal teenage boy though
>>83686365
We can't expose him to something so inappropriate. We have to keep him pure and precious for as long as we can.
>>83686070
19. Maybe 21.
>>83686328
that's more akin to whatever Ghost in the Shell's universe is happening, Tokyo III is more representative of japanese reconstruction after the atomic bombings which is basically what the second impact was. NERV is suspicious of other branches working in the US for example, nobody shares intel, every major event is local like the selection of the 4th EVA pilot, etc. It's all meant to represent Japan pretty distinctively.
>>83682412
Shinji - Edris Elba
>>83682262
JUST
shifa fucked up
just sneak some Emma watson and Scarlett johaasson there and 'plock'
Could be good

/a/non here. I enter /tv/ for the first time in months and this is the crap I get?
normalfags couldn't appreciate it, anyways
>>83690074
after Gurren Lagann, Evangelion is now redundant, deconstruction is dead for now with the end of the Nolan capeshit.
>>83683514
Something I've always found weird is how when the Seele council is first introduced in 21, all the council-men save for Keel have their voices disguised, and Fuyutsuki seems surprised that by the fact that the Council is dealing with this matter personally instead of the Committee (implying the council is above and controlling the Instrumentality Committee).
But then in the episodes after the Monoliths just have the voices of the Instrumentality Committee, meaning not only that the distinction Fuyutsuki makes is meaningless, but there was no point for them to disguise their voices in the first place.
>>83683235
I don't get why people always bring this up, the purpose of the 'symbols' is just to bring an overt religious dare I say biblical grandiose to the series, not to actually imply a legit connection to said religions.
Would you prefer it if the series tried to be actually religious? If it tried to establish legitimate connections to the bible, trying to meld Jesus or the Deluge into the story or some shit?
The series is intended to be vaguely religious in atmosphere, not genuinely so.
>>83682262
what movie is this? never seen this before.
>>83682849
theres not enough TIME!

Nigga, you gave me a heart attack. Don't do that.
Honestly, I'd rather see an American animated adaptation.
>>83691026
honestly they probably just hadn't come up with the monolith thing at the beginning of the production. its certainly a more striking image
>>83682262
