Because it was packed to the brim with SJW/leftist pandering. Plus, del Toro should have won an Oscar for Pan's Labyrinth. Him winning Director and Picture for the fishfricking movie was basically a make-up award.
>Well, I am a huge anime and manga fan, as is my daughter. In fact, I have an entire cabin in my office in the garden dedicated just to manga and anime, where I keep my books and my movies. I have never seen Evangelion, I love the designs and am very familiar with the designs of the EVA robots and Angels, but I have never actually sat down to see the series. Some people pointed out - I don't know if Travis who wrote Pacific Rim saw Evangelion - they saw the gel that connects the people to the robots, I came up with that myself, without seeing Evangelion. I however fully acknowledge the influence of Patlabor, Ghost in the Shell, Tetsujin 28-go, Space Giants, Mazinger Z, and many many other anime that I have watched and enjoy. I love very much the work of Osamu Tezuka, whose work influenced me growing up as a child, and I love quite a bit of the work of Mamoru Oshii, Katsuhiro Otomo, Satoshi Kon (big big time, whom I think was the finest narrator in anime other than Miyazaki and Takahata).
I didn't even think of Pacific rim when I looked at this thread. That's hardly the important part in my opinion it is more than he is successful at adaptations in general, overall is skilled in his craft regardless and would get enough financial backing, is effective at pleasing "fans" as well as "movie-goer" as in can make an entertaining movie that has cultural impact, and then he has a respect for Japanese media that goes back multiple decades and not the usual token appreciation either
>I bet you don't even watch mecha
They don't. They speed watch Eva then never go passed anything other than that.
It's like the people whose only Gundam point of reference is W and G.
eva is barely a mecha anime. You autist are missing all legitimate conversations about an eva adaptation to flap your dicks around over your elitist schtick on a completely superficial and worthless branch of toy and media marketing aka /m/. You people fight over which McDonald's toy is the best. Wtf
Evangelion doesn't need a fricking live action adaption.
All these new Eva fans overhyping it need to neck themselves.
It's good but not worth obsessing over.
Evangelion is in a weird spot where its an anime yet its always mentioned next to live-action tokusatsu shows like Godzilla and Ultra Man.
For me the show's identity lies in being "that one anime that gets to be the special exception and considered part of tokusatsu culture."
We don't need live action adaptations of anything animated. If anything it should be the opposite, we should get more animated adaptations of live-action scifi/fantasy
ehh maybe the action part but not everything else, which is what truly matters. Besides wanting Evangelion live action is peak cringe
Man, such a shame we never got a sequel.
Or you know, the guy who made Evangelion? His Godzilla was kino
Anno is done with Eva though
As he should shit is old and ran it's course.
wish he was done with eva after 1997. Rebuilds are trash and if that's what he actually wanted it to be he was saved in the edit.
Alright who are the real geniuses behind Eva before annoshit took all the credit and made something unwatchable?
How the frick did he win an Oscar for that fish fricking movie?

He was creepy as frick in Death Stranding
Hilariously, the mocap was just some guy in a massive fat suit. Obviously not him
You mean missing the point the hardest?
adaptation into what? a movie that's almost entirely CGI like the video you linked?
Can't wait to see some brown b***h play Asuka and CGI Angels and EVA units slide around on screen
No; that fat bastard must be forced to give us the pearlman hellboy 3 before he's allowed to do anything else.
As a tv series or adapting the rebuilds? There's too much for just one movie
Pacific Rim is one of the best experiences I've had in cinema. Watching it at home felt nothing compared to it.
>Best Picture
>Best Director
>Best Animated Feature
How does he do it?
He's brown. All his movies are painfully generic for anyone that likes folklore.
Del Toro is a Gundam chad, he's never seen Eva.

Pacific Rim is like the diametric opposite of Eva. I bet you don't even watch mecha and get all your opinions from reddit

>successful at adaptations in general,
name 2 apart from hellboy
Pinocchio and Hellboy is enough. That's 3 movies he's made like 10. 3/3 is better than anybody
You're forgetting he botched up the Hobbit adaptation, and The Strain (the book he co-wrote) was a dogshit tv series

No one cares about your moronic topic. I'm talking with anon about how basic and lame trend hopping gays like you are.
Suck a dick.

Anno's intention was to make an anime that wasn't otaku slop that normalgays would think is artsy and cool.

I think you should just accept that Pacific Rim WAS the Evangelion live action adaptation
When has he ever pulled off something better than mediocre?
