Evangelion Rebuild 2.22 Is An AMAZING Homage To The 90's Classic! |

[@redsnowleopard]

90s animation just hits different tbh. I wish studios would and could still do it

[@DaNNi2774]

Then it wouldn’t be popular, newer fans and older fans want cooler looking anime

[@scmstr]

​@@DaNNi2774 and it's incredibly expensive and takes a TON of time and talent that just isn't sustainable or even there anymore. It's basically a lost art at this point. People still do it, but since it isn't commercially viable, most pros don't, and it's trending more and more that direction. Kids don't know any better, too, they think older is automatically worse, and while there is definitely value to evolving forwards, forwards does not automatically equal better. Plus, Gainax even at the time was a MASSIVE exception, *towering* over their competition, with nge being kind of their moonshot magnum opus.

[@PaddyMcMe]

@@scmstr Yeah, if it didn't work out they were f'ed. Personally I'm one of the minority that is kind of happy they ran out of money during production since I prefer the original series ending, far more contemplative and abstract plus more satisfying. Not nearly as iconic though.

But many people still think that because it's classic = it's better.

[@ShortSquid_027]

I love how each step causes destruction where it lands but the animation itself doesn't feel as "heavy" as the original animation, if that makes sense? In 2.22's animation, the robot's movement feel a light more lighter than 94's. I guess the decision to go with more smoother animation gave it that look.

Looking at modern anime these days with so much CGI makes one appreciate the 90's style.

The final Evangelion movie, 3.0+1.0 does really interesting and intentional things with it's mixed-media composition. Some of the 3D shots are shot like they're actual handheld cam footage, and one of the final battles was done with unpolished motion capture at a full 24 fps in order to replicate tokusatsu action.

One thing I notice is the general movements in the bots being different. Where 2.22's has all three moving with expert precision, no wasted movements; 94's all have these shaky movements like the pilots themselves are adjusting things in real-time. It makes 94's seem almost more realistic. These are massive mechs being piloted by imperfect beings. Does 2.22 give a better "weight" to them yes. But 94's imperfect motion feels more appropriate

94 is pure art 🎉

[@SpectrumWired]

One of the main reasons that I love the original is that it isn't afraid to take its time with things. From what I've seen, Evangelion has done this the best. They made the Evas have weight, like they were real. They followed through with movements. Each action has a counter action. The new one doesn't have this. When the Eva-1 was running up the mountain the foot stayed like it had to push the rest of the mech up, unlike the new one. The same thing with the landing, the old one stayed there to regain balance instead of just running off again

[@lucascapelao]

they animated it on twos instead of ones it looks clunky bcuz of that

[@venheartzeil3070]

But the new one does the same thing. The foot pauses there for a second.

[@tubester358]

ya as much as I loved the remake (and didn't watch the original lol) the mech's movement felt a little light in that scene while the environment reacted properly to the weight, I thought maybe they wanted to make it feel a little more organic or something. Mecha animation overall seems to be a rarer skill in modern animation, or maybe just too costly.

[@ISTHATAJOJOSREFERENCE]

@@tubester358 "make it feel a little more organic or something" Dude EVAs are literally biological creatures in armor tf you on about

[@ISTHATAJOJOSREFERENCE]

Just literally not true. Do you know the kinds of speeds that the EVAs are moving at dude? Do you think that when a giant, hulking creature in armor jumps over telephone wires inertia will just wait a minute so it can regain it's balance? Have you ever JUMPED? Does it really take you that long to regain balance, if at all? I'm so sick of people circlejerking old stuff off just because it's old. The new one does everything you mentioned better. You just got nostalgia glasses on brother.

[@melissaharris3389]

The angel designs the Rebuild series was able to create with new animation technology are awesome, but I personally think the direction and shot composition is better in the original.

[@TheAnimeBookClub]

High key the angels look super impressive with CGI tech but I feel you on the 90's cinematography

[@bitterjack]

Why did they modify the Eva shot composition? Instead of showing each Eva running their hardest to get to the point in time, they just focused on Unit 01. The point of this angel in the original was to show that they were finally coalescing as a team and each child/Eva are a force to be reckoned with and are nearly unstoppable together as a team. This let the future Angels and their absolute difficulty and over powered nature be that much more impressive.

[@infinite_state7404]

I love the upper one🎉

[@TheAnimeBookClub]

@@bitterjack the original scene is like 2 minutes or so long where in 2.22 the whole scene is like 6 minutes long so I cut down the rebuild to match the frames from the original. It's supposed to be more of a showcase of the animations and matching frames but the rebuild has this cool scene where unit 01 is redirected by raising the panels on the city to course correct without losing speed. I definitely recommend people watch both

TLDR: basically a rant about how the animation industry in general mistreats its talents. Working on a "shoestring budget" I feel isn't something to be lauded on, feels like struggle pron to me The work culture for these dudes even back then is pretty shit and it hasn't gotten that much better now. Don't get me wrong, pushing through insurmountable odds is a pretty commendable thing to do in most fields, but it just gives the bigwigs more incentive to do jackshit when it comes to helping animators just live because "passion" will get them through regardless. Animators deserve be compensated with atleast livable wages especially when they create stuff as visually compelling as this, we're still a long way off though.

[@J-tt1lu]

[@Knivez84]

You're right the newer version it looks like the Eva's movements are effortless as if they are not moving a huge amount of mass. Newer version looks more like sprinters in track suits.

[@takocos]

I like that. Because it moves more like a biological entity and less like a robot. And, I like that Asuka and unit 2 specifically move more like a soldier who has been trained to fight in armor, especially that German split jump replacing the close jump. It makes her look more like a soldier trained in Germany, as well as making the Eva look more biological. She even uses the close jump later, at close range where it would make tactical sense. It shows that she's been trained when to use what techniques. ​@Knivez84

[@warpdriveby]

​@@mrskellybones4514The old ones twitch, stumble, and have movements that mimic human/mammalian biology, in short they feel imperfect, mind bendingly powerful, insanely durable, and shockingly vulnerable all at once. The X.X.X movies do look amazing, but the EVAs are now so much more powerful, and move like gymnasts/dancers/fighters. Appreciation for subtlety develops with time, you're looking at the polish, dynamism, complexity and creativity without realizing there's been a loss of verisimilitude, meaning it feels less life like to many.

Sometimes, imperfections are what give life to art. The newest version is clean, but lacks that raw element we can't explain. Your mind likes to envelope pieces that fill the blanks of a story visual. Which is why older videogames hit harder than AAA graphics. Your mind has fun playing/immersing yourself into the piece.

Watched the ‘94 version for the first time this year, it’s absolutely beautiful, it gives me a nostalgic and depressed vibe , the only flaw for me in the og version is the sound of the battles

[@ayamgoreng-ft4ck]

The Rebuild is a masterpiece but the original was just.. Muah! Chef's kiss..

[@SamDSmith]

This is really cool. Its almost like looking at two differet art styles. Only other thing that needs adding is the music.

[@andrewbanks1175]

Incredible to think that they remade an already iconic show and improved on it

[@Fede.i.M.]

Improved? Pls elaborate, its more hi def and fluid. But the angel redesign seems a lot more generic and less identifiable, the tramwork scene is basically inexistent, there is a lot more cheap digital particle work that obscured the meca design and seems a lot less dire with the neon green glow when 01 catches the angel. The shot with the eva the angel and the mountain is way less interesting because its not showing the thing from below its all like a drone aerial shot. I don't say its bad. But the original seems way better on a side to side comparison.

@@Fede.i.M. >But the angel redesign seems a lot more generic and less identifiable Literally same design just scaled up a fuckton. Way more imposing. Look at it during the zoomout >there is a lot more cheap digital particle work that obscured the meca design Yeah no shit. When things are destroyed they produce shrapnel. Who would've thought. >seems a lot less dire with the neon green glow when 01 catches the angel This makes no fucking sense lol what? How does the color GREEN make something less dire? 2.22 actually emphasizes the damage done to U1 lmao >The shot with the eva the angel and the mountain is way less interesting because its not showing the thing from below its all like a drone aerial shot They rearranged the clips. The shot of the mountain happens in 2.22 when there's the shot of just U1 and the angel in 94. So lmao. Hurr durr take off the nostalgia glasses bro. You're cooked

[@unskillfullymasterful]

from the artist point of view , i think they would agree that they outdid themselves than they did way back then. the old one doesnt look bad but the newer blows it out of the water , time and experience makes them better at their craft

[@lonelyjordon]

I saw that giant purple robot in an old Vanossgaming Gmod video and had no idea where it was from

[@ThinkingCrimson]

You mean Eva 01.

[@lonelyjordon]

@@ThinkingCrimson at the time when I first saw that video I didn't even watch anime, in fact I started watching anime about 2 1/2 years ago

[@lordabbadon2107]

The detail of all the electric cables wobbling after the EVA jumps over them on the old version 🖤

[@kik0le]

The fact that you can tell that it was mostly hand-drawn on paper in the '94 version makes it look more like a work of art and passion for the craft.

[@juliusantivo271]

90s animation looks vibrant, vivid and alive.

[@Elite4CardShop]

Anime that's hand drawn truly allows the viewer to appreciate not just the story but the art as well.

[@schwarzermond6033]

The soundtrack of 2.22 makes this scene awesome for me

[@WildcardKiana]

I love both Rebuild and OG!

[@michaeltolanojr3024]

Literally finished the series yesterday. Wish there was more 😭

[@BlueyBlueyon2000]

The windows sound always gets me

[@yeaboieeyyy5097]

You can see how much care the animators put into both series

[@ichigonubetube]

CGI 9/10 times cant beat a hand drawn, high quality scene.

[@stupidshiba]

It’s crazy seeing what things are better in both versions! I little microcosm of what’s prioritized then and now based on the new hardware

[@riott2975]

Idk its just something about the movement that was depicted in the 94 series, just felt more weighty. That scene with Unit 02 jumping over one of the transmission towers, the 94 ver looked more sick

[@MrMeoow91]

The old one just has impact, you can see and feel it.

[@johannicolasfiaga1825]

Evangelios no envejeció, se añejó como un vino costoso,y a través del tiempo te darás cuenta de lo buena que fue su animación e historia que revolucionó todo

[@rickster008]

i love both mg there both beautiful
