Course Evangelion the original series brought us the Gainax Ending which if I remember the fans were not happy about. Then the movie remakes came about.

Surely every Evangelion ending would be a "GAINAX Ending"?

I only obtained a Crunchyroll subscription a couple of days ago.

Hey, Hey, Doctor. Salamat Pagi! Seriously though, at times it almost feels like "Azumanga Daioh: The Next Generation" albeit, Nichijou is a lot less structured and it does has the idea of "IF I SHOUT THE PUNCHLINE IT'S SO MUCH FUNNIER!" stuck in it's head. Nevertheless, I'm enjoying it and I half expect Osaka to turn up in an episode as a student teacher teacher or something.

Oh I AM talking about the movies.

I have nothing to do with the series. This does bring another question.

Will one understand the movies without watching the series or what?

But yeah... i was wondering about the movies.

There's nothing Gainax about the ending. It was just an insane ending no one understood, then the fans got (really) angry forcing Anno to make End of Evangelion as some sort of bizarre revenge.

Well the new films will have a KARA ending.

also if you have a CR sub watch a proper comedy like Gintama.

I'm talking about "End of Evangelion" not the rebuild films. You can watch the films without the seeing the series but I wouldn't recommend it.

I tried the manga for Gintama a few years back but it just didn't do anything for me. I'm also watching Polar Bear's Café at the moment as well.

Manga of the Week



Battle Tendency

Author/Artist: Araki Hirohiko
Status: Complete (6 volumes)
Updates: N/A
Licensed: No (and it never will be)

New York, 1930-1939: A decade in review.
• 1932 - President Roosevolt is elected, winning against Herbert Hoover with a 42 state win.
• 1934 - The Cheeseburger is created.
• 1937 - A spark the size of an ant downs the Hindenberg air ship.
• 1938 - Joseph Joestar travels to fight ancient super beings with the help of a cybernetic nazi, Italian master of bubbles and an explosive bottle of coke.
The second part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and for some the best. It's easy to see why the main character, Josheph Joestar is one of the best in manga. It also has some fantastic fights and good use of powers. It also has the characters that inspired the design for Rose and Guile from Street Fighter.

Here's the amazing OP for the anime (second best best anime op ever):

I do like it, but the art style annoys me a bit.
