Check out my review of their action figure which we talk about in the interview and came in the mail yesterday
At my local Bestbuy I learned Neon Genesis Evangelion 3.33 had been released on blu ray and I had to obtain the next chapter in the enhanced anime series. First though I thought I share with you a memory flash back.
I was going thru my local flea market in Charlton MA back in 2004 and on a table were the first 6 vol of an anime show I had only seen commercials for and heard very little about. I decided to take a chance after several conversations with other anime fans who told me I was missing out.
I snatched up all 6 after making a deal with the vendor, and it exposed me to the most adult giant robot show of all time. I hunted down the other remaining vol to finish the show. I never got into the manga in which its based on.
3 young pilots living in post apocalyptic Japan pilot giant robots called Eva to defend their country against demonic looking creatures with so much mystery and intriguing plot points you can see why it’s such a beloved show. The main character Shinji lives in this harem style plot line in his apartment where he is the only male living with three gorgeous woman two teenage girls snd his handler. All the while his father is the head of the Eva program and is as much a father figure as Darth Vader was.
The reason I bring it up on Radio of Horror is its the darkest anime sci fi show I have ever watched. Yes there is horror shows and Demon rape shows like hentai. But look at the over all flowing stpry narative of this one snd really get a sence of a foreboding snd Sinister plot.
Now recently the show has been released in these movie formats sets called 1.11 2.22 and 3.33. They condense the shows bigger plot points into movies that might be easier for the average viewer to handel.
This is enhanced by superior animation and graphic touch up with CGI being used to enhance the special effects.
3.33 You can not redo Is the newest Editon out now and if you never watched the show or were very confused by it’s story telling I recommend this set.
Tonight at midnight at Targets Walmart Toys R Us and more STAR WARS EPISODE 7 THE FORCE AWAKENS stufffffff……. ( whatever you can think of) will go on sale.
