Evangelion 2.22 Report: It Will Make You Warm Inside

Peter Payne by Peter Payne

in Your Friend in Japan

My son and I are loving the new Evangelion 2.22 movie, which is a real joy to watch, especially in Blu-Ray format. A lot of what’s fun about the new Eva movies, other than the stunning visuals and (I’ll admit it) hilarious fan-service, are the subtle differences made in the characters. In the updated version of the iconic elevator scene between Asuka — whose family name has been changed from Soryu to Shikinami to reflect the changes in her character — and Rei, Asuka says, “This is why I hate Japanese people, they never say what they mean. How do you feel about that baka, Shinji?” Rei replies, “I don’t know…but when I’m with him I feel warm inside. And I want him to feel warm inside, too.” In the original, Rei was far less likely to show actual emotions, and her feelings for Shinji were more vague, while the new Asuka is less tsun tsun (angry, short-tempered) and more dere dere (capable of expressing honest feelings of love).

The new Evangelion movie is a real treat for fans. The fan service is also good.
