eva has already been on CN numerous times

No it hasn't. The first two episodes of the series was shown on Toonami 2 (or was it 3?) years ago. That was for "Giant Robot Week". It was never shown again after that. It was also heavily edited.

This is the series' first premier on Adult Swim. It's being shown in it's entirety, and, for the most part, with minor edits. As I said earlier, although they're finally showing the series, there are no plans to show EoE anytime in the near future. Personally, I don't think it will happen at all.

About the live action movie, yeah, it's really old and there is 0 new info on it. I'd rather not speculate until I know for sure that it will be made within the next few years.

I don't how they are gonna basically turn 26 eps. into one movie. Or they just make it as the 1st esp. WHICH IS RETARDED

They can do it, if they can turn a 3 book series into three movies about 3-4 hours each, they can do it. You have to remember that when they make movies they really try hard, no matter what you say or see. They really tried hard to do their best, you're just critizing and judging them too hard. We're dedicated fans of anime, and they're just trying to make a movie that will not only please us, but the general crowd as well. Judging something when it barely has a chance is too harsh and just plain wrong.

I was not judging them. Im just saying. How will they make 26eps in 1 movie. And 3hours won't make it possible. AND i doubt they will make more than one movie. Considering If it takes them this long to make just one

It is quite possible to turn a 26 episode anime series into a movie, it's been done numerous times before. That doesn't neccessarily mean it will be any good though. But who knows? I'm hoping for the best; they'll work with what they've got.

yea if they cut out everything and just kill the angels like that

and i saw evangelion on tv last night. Its not the same as the DVD, they used a new cast. and OMG

everybody sound so young and crappy. Misato sounds like a freaking 16year old when shes supposed to be 29. Ritsuko sounds like 16 too. And the Dude thats supposed to be arround gendo, hes supposed to be 58, BUT he sounds like a 25year old guy! WTF

1. If they intend to fit 26 episodes into a movie, a lot will have to be cut, but I doubt it'll just be 3 hours of Angel killing. Perhaps they'll show a few fights, and skip the rest in order to deal w/character developement and whatnot. This type of thing has been done many times for anime movies (ever seen Death & Rebirth?). It won't be any different just because it's live action.

2. I don't know which English dub you've seen on DVD, but the one they showed on Evangelion is the only one in existence. I suggest you listen to it again. It's the exact same cast.

3. Misato's VA fits her perfectly IMO (and is one of my favorite voice actresses). Ritsuko sounds like a mature woman, and is one of the better actors in the dub - I don't see how you think she sounds 16. Fuyutsuki doesn't sound 50, but I still think his voice fits him.

Edit: @Aramis: He meant Fuyutsuki, not Gendo
