Looking forward to
Fanime 2012. I mean, we go to it every year, and it's always fun, but this year I think I
really need a vacation.
Personally, I plan on trying to find out stuff about Evangelion 3.0: you can (not) redo.
Incidentally, I love that subtitle. The 繰り返す nature of Eva's been inherent since the original TV series, even if we only understood it in retrospect, through the lens of the alternate-universe side projects. Looking back through the Gainax canon, I sometimes wonder how important that theme is to them. You can go back and make amends, they say.
Look at
Gurren Lagann, for example -- the way it's split into two halves, with parallel choices and characters. There's room for typology in the Gainax canon.
What I really wish they'd redo is KareKano. I've been reading some of that manga? Truly stellar. I can only imagine what they'd have done if the TV series hadn't gone off the rails midway through.
