Neon Genesis Evangelion/Trivia: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

** "Uberpimp" for Gendo. {{spoiler|Super Gendo, Super Adam Gendo}} and others for {{spoiler|his insane AT Field-generating incarnation}} in the manga.

** "Harpies" for Evangelion units 05-13 because they look like grotesque cyber-vultures.

* [[Fountain of Expies]]: You know you're one when you have [[Rei Ayanami Expy|your own page]] dedicated to your Expies.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Kotono Mitsuishi|Misato is Sailor Moon.]] Now you can never unhear it. And [[Megumi Ogata|Shinji is Sailor Uranus.]] And [[Yu Yu Hakusho|Kurama]]. Motomu Kiyokawa, Fuyutsuki's dubber, also dubbed [[Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water|Gargoyle]]. As for Megumi Hayashibara... well, she's [[Megumi Hayashibara]]. Alternately, most of the show's English cast were relative unknowns at the time, but have provoked this response for every subsequent dub they've been in.

* [[Lying Creator]]: The amplitude of self-contradictory and at times seemingly absurd statements about the series from [[Hideaki Anno]] has led many to accuse him of this.

* [[No Export for You]]: On the Western market, the series saw its last release on DVD under [[ADV Films]] in 2008, after which the series went out of print due to ADV's financial problems, and while the show saw occasional re-releases in Japan, the opportunities for Western viewers to get their hands on a legitimate copy of the series was steady dwindling, and the outlook became worse when ADV later lost the right to license the series entirely. Subsequently, the complete series was released in a HD version on a Blu-ray boxset in 2016 on the Japanese marked, but despite large interest in the West, the boxset never saw a release there. It was first with [[Netflix]] announcing in November 2018 that they had gained the streaming rights to the HD version of the series on the Western market that the situation was somewhat rectified, and the event also renewed the Western fanbase's hopes that the Blu-ray boxset might also see a release in their part of the world some day.
