... as a totally hopeless yet respected artist, so "what the
hell".
Closing your eyes to your own faults, how can you just dismiss it as
'bathroom graffitti'?
A mentally bankrupt group like GAiNAX is like a religious cult that...
Even so, a jerk-off posing as a god (laugh) who can't get it on...
If you won't die on your own, I'll do you a favor and set fire to your
studio.
Late beyond belief and totally brainless. (racuous laughter) Talk about
not knowing your own limits...
I don't know if you're putting on some kind of striptease or jerk-off
show, but...
...up on your pedestal, you can't possibly be aware of just how stupid
you are.

"Shit, GAiNAX! You've made something incredible!!
I mean - it's just too awesome! Why did you have to stop part-way?
I can't wait 'til summer! - Get the rest out by Golden Week (Apr. 29
- May 5) - Please!!!

Fantastic! This is the first show I've seen in a long time that
lets you enjoy it even 'after' you've finished watching it! "REBIRTH"
is awesome!
You chose some very heavy themes! Shinji's despair and despondency
in himself - Asuka's clinging at life and escape from the darkness of her
heart! I think that everyone who sees it will feel something of their own.
Eagerly awaiting part 2...

I saw DEATH and "REBIRTH" Saturday night. My first thought after
leaving the theater was "Why did I see this movie?" My teeth were tightly
clenched throughout "REBIRTH" and it took some time for me to notice that
I was shaking. I'm still not sure exactly 'why' I was shaking - whether
from happiness or fear. I felt confused as I boarded the train. While
I was extremely
distressed, I also felt a strange happiness welling up from within
me. I was probably shaking from both of these emotions. I think I may have
simultaneously felt both fear and a sense of
attraction toward Director Anno's pathos (= Eva). The content of the
movie was superb, and the quality of the animation far surpassed anything
I had seen thus far.
However, I felt that I had
been brought face-to-face with human strength and weakness, which was rather
distressing. It reminded me of the pain I had felt as I watched the
TV series. It felt as if the pathos within Director Anno's heart had been
transplanted and resonated strongly with something deep inside my heart.
I felt strongly that "I am not alone" and that "I don't have to feel lonely."
These opposing emotions mixed together to create a very odd feeling which
lasted long after the movie had ended. While I am certain that "END of
EVANGELION", which is to be released this summer, will be even more painful
and distressing, I am looking forward to seeing it. Other people
may not be as moved as I surely will, but this is because "Eva" has truly
become an personal part of my life.
