[EVA] 13 years of Death&Rebirth: Evangelion's 13 year anniversary

[Codename V]

...curses.  I was going by the site update; must have led to the confusion

(shrug)

well, there wasn't an "Evangelion anniversary" message but there is now...

> Evangelion debuted on October 4th, V.  Where are you getting the 12th

>> on to Evangelion:
>>
>> Today marks the 13th anniversary of the premiere of the first episode of
>> the Evangelion TV series in Japan, which occurred on October 12, 1995
>>
>> amazing that a single anime series can be this popular after so many
>> years; Gundam and such are different because they were multiple series
>> (albeit not always set in the same continuity) and new ones come out all
>> the time. And DragonBallZ or Pokemon and such just have hundreds of
>> episodes.
>>
>> What other 26 episode series (plus a movie or two) has had such lasting
>> impact?
>>
>> only a handful. Even Cowboy Bebop though, or Trigun, were not around for
>> as many years as Evangelion was; Eva is older than those by a few years.
>>
>> Plus, no anime has remained so hotly debated as Evangelion. Cowboy Bebop
>> is a classic but its not quite as thought-provoking as Eva (though I do
>> enjoy the "near-Future" set design of both)
>>
>> alternative thread title: "It's been 13 years, where's the Live Action
>> movie series?"
>>
>> and do you realize, that by next year, children who were not yet born
>> when
>> this series premiered, will be angsty 14 year olds whom the story still
>> "speaks to"?
>>
>> Looking back, against all predictions a major remake of the series came
>> out barely over a year ago with "Rebuild of Evangelion 1.0 : You Are
>> (Not)
>> Alone" in Japan, though it hasn't been released in North America nor has
>> an English dub licensor been announced, and the second of four movies,
>> "Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0 : You Can (Not) Advance" has been pushed back
>> from a Novemberish premiere to an "early summer 2009" premiere.
>>
>> And Adult Swim stopped rerunning the series last year.
>>
>> Thus, we are still locked in anticipation for Evangelion to truly hit
>> the
>> North American fanbase as a whole.
