Evangelion Movie Trailer is Hollywood Quality


Funimation has released the trailer for the English dubbed American edition of the first of the Rebuild of Evangelion movies, “You are (Not) Alone”, the second of which recently hit Japanese theaters.

Fans who have watched the original trailers cannot help but notice the stark contrast in style between the two, and many are not amused…





The original Japanese trailers basically shows scenes that would evoke memories of the TV series, coupled with the song Fly Me to the Moon, a much appreciated element of the original series.

The US version meanwhile focuses on the giant robot action, complete with the mechanical crotch shots seen in the posters above, making it look rather like typical Hollywood fare…

Even source Gigazine can barely contain their scorn, and fans are generally scathing, though of course the reaction of the wider cinema going public is what will be of ultimate concern to the distributors, for better or for worse…

Evangelion DVD vs TV: TV Re-Remastered?


Fans have been surprised to note yet another remaster of Evangelion, with the newly airing HD TV version of Evangelion You Are (Not) Alone 1.** carrying a trailer differing both from the theatrical and DVD versions, with some saying it looks to be the definitive version.

The comparison is visible above, with the DVD on the left and the TV on the right.

Just when will the remasters end for this series?

About Shoujo (Anime for Girls)

Animeblogx's focus will be anime for all ages, in particular shoujo (anime for girls). You will discover from the titles we release that the shoujo genre of anime is beautifully tailored to the hopes and aspirations of young girls. Meaningful friendships, first romances, and all of the whole-hearted dramas of youth abound in shoujo series. Rather than the simple, watered down fare that is much of today's entertainment for young girls in Malaysia, the shoujo genre offers complex storylines, realistic character development, and substantial content, entertaining the mind as well as the heart.

Though anime titles aimed at teens and adults have gained much popularity in Malaysia, Animeblogx will primarily release family-friendly titles. The most wonderful thing about the titles we will release is that they are entertaining and appropriate for people of all ages!

Shakugan no Shana 3rd Season Confirmed!!!

Shakugan no Shana

According to Dengeki Bunko's July issue, third series of anime produced by J.C.Staff, Shakugan no Shana, is to be made, though exact date has not been revealed yet.

Those who read Shakugan no Shana light novels, and also some others, know that anime didn't really stick to the original and the second season plunged into some low-grade, "dramatic", love triangle "comedy". Even so, there are many fans who have not forsaken Shakugan no Shana anime version, including me, and hope to see some interesting development and more Flame Haze x Bal Masque battles in a continuation. And I'd like to see the relationship of Shana and Yuuji to progress too.

Having said this, it's not 100% sure that the new announced project really will be a new season, because there emerge some rumors suggesting that it will be just a remake. However, I think it's just that people are more sceptic after all the commotion about Haruhi, and the third season is likely to be made.

At any rate, fans of Flame-Haired Red-Eyed Hunter have something to look forward to now.
