[2012] Evangelion New Theatrical Version: Q

After checking the information, it turns out that the release of "EVA: Broken" in Hong Kong in 2009 was nearly half a year later than that in Japan,
so it is not too late for "EVA: Q" three years later to wait until the Blu-rays are released in Hong Kong.
But after the New Year's Eve, the
mood is always bitter.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the film,
Ghibli's logo Totoro popped out.
Then the giant soldier of Hayao Miyazaki descended from the sky.
Faced with this carefully crafted special film,
Camel had every reason to suspect that he had misplaced the film.

I haven't recovered from the previous short film, and the feature film of the
gorgeous to the end of the universe has begun.
(The so-called god special effects must be very expensive~)
Then the bombardment of new terms and new plots
made it difficult for Camel to keep up with the pace of the times.

When watching "EVA: Preface" and "EVA: Breaking",
the whole person's mood is happy and excited.
A familiar world setting (preface),
and a slightly changed group portrait (broken).
As fans of "EVA" for more than ten years,
these two works are easy to accept.
Old bottles are filled with new wines to satisfy the nostalgic experience,
and at the same time show the improvement of animation production technology.

And "EVA: Q" is a big draw,
throwing us a new environment
and almost a new character.
So all the audience,
whether fans or ordinary audiences,
stood on the same starting line again.

Just like the name of this work "Q/Quickening/ Urgent",
in just one and a half hours,
The intelligence information rushed forward like a storm.
When I was still in the middle of a half-decipherment, the
film reached a climax and then came to an abrupt end.

Hikaru Utada's sad and low singing voice sounded in his ears,
and CAST at the end of the film walked quietly through a red light.
Something in my heart that had been dormant for a long time began to stir.

Yes, this is the true "new" theatrical version!
Isn't the kind of madness for "EVA" more than ten years ago
that started with this kind of ticklish pleasure
and curiosity that makes people sleepless?

Anno Hideaki, you ruffian!
How do you justify yourself next?
btw, Good Job!

    Finally saw Q with the borrowed projection. After watching it, I have the same feeling as Ikari-kun, "It doesn't matter." All the love and emotion accumulated in the second episode returned to the night before liberation. And the abandoned world where no one exists, isn't it really a reference to all our teenage ideals and perceptions?

    Finally, until the high-definition version came out, Yunkaiyueming, the stone is still the best for so many years. Although the plot has been explained a lot, each explanation brings several new questions. This thing is boundless.
