fitz0

Is this the first screening of Eva 2.0 in Ireland? I'll be going to that, Eva 1.11 and maybe 5cm Per Second.

Funky

Evangelions on the big screen, yesplz

Konata

Ridiculously excited for Eva 2.0!

Ginja Ninja

I already have my ticket monkey heading in tomorrow to the ticket office.

eva 2.0 should be great and on big screen to boot

Numina

Woah woah, Evangelion 2.0? I'm there just for that, but with 5cm per Second, Evangelion 1.11 and Gundam Unicorn also, I'm there on all accounts.

Yeah. They showed Eva 1 and 2 at the Glasgow film festivial back in February. I was going to go but something came up. My boyfriend and I got the tickets for all of Saturday and for Gundam on Sunday. Looking forward to it.:)

johnny_ultimate

Got tickets for everything except for The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (already have it on DVD). When the programme arrived in the post I yelped aloud when I saw the two Evangelion films were being shown - having just finished the series a month or two ago, I've been dying to see the first one, but getting to see both on the same day is very exciting! Have also really wanted to see 5cm per Second since watching Voices of a Distant Star / Place Promised.... Should be a fantastic weekend

RichyX

Presumably it'll only be the first episode of Gundam Unicorn.
Definitely gonna check that out along with the Eva movies.

Nockz

I like to think my silly question helped someone else make up their mind as to whether or not they would go to this event

Can't wait for some aneem and mango!

Redegg

Is this on in April or March?

This facebook page says March.

fitz0

March, its the Saturday after next.

Justapilgrim

Can't wait for this!! EVA 2.0 is a masterpiece, cant wait to watch it on the big screen.:D

Numina

Got my tickets today. I'm slightly concerned that watching 1.11 and 5cm in a row might wear me out for 2.0, which is the only one I haven't seen, so I want to be particularly attentive for that. I suppose I have the option of passing up on 1.11 if I really feel it's necessary, but there is not a chance in hell that I'm going to miss 5cm and I'm getting a bit excited about that panel afterward also.

gearoidof

Correct me if I'm wrong, but EVA 1.11 and EVA 2.0 are basically just the TV series made shinier? If not, how much new content is there? Would someone who's seen the series actually be watching much new stuff if he went to see the filme?

They've completely redrawn tons of scenes, just look at this http://doanimation.wordpress.com/2007/09/03/new-vs-old-evangelion-side-by-side-comparison/

I meant more along the lines of story and content, but you answered me inadvertently, thanks

Butterscotch

Just wondering if anyone will be cosplaying at this event. I know I will be.

fitz0

I won't be but will there be a boards meet up before or after for a drink?

GuardianDemon

Yeah, i might try meeting up with ome forumers for a drink or 2 after the shows !!

I'll probably post up what ill be wearing Lol !!:D

I'd be up for a beverage with some fellow anime fans. I'm going to be there for like 10 hours over the weekend, and I don't think I'll be able to get any of my friends to spend said amount of time in a cinema, so some friendly faces would be welcome

e_e

Definitely going, if not to see 2 of my favorite animes (5CM and Girl Who Leapt Through Time) on the big screen, as well as new Evangelion!

Anybody know if the movies will be subtitled or dubbed?

Numina

If they're dubbed, I'm going to storm out of the place outraged.

It's IFI, it's a movie lovers place, I'm sure they know that people will want to see the sub rather than the dub.

Konata

They're all subbed, don't worry.

GuardianDemon

I thought it had been confimred that Eva 1.11 will be Dubbed and Eva 2.0 will be subbed ?? I KNOW I read that somewhere !!

From the Eirtakon forums:

Just to confirm that - as I programmed the weekend and agreed with the licensors what materials would be used I can confirm again that all films shown will be in Japanese with English subtitles.

For fans of Evangelion or those looking for extra incentive to come along for Evangelion 2.0 please note:

We're using the 35mm festival print with English subtitles which means you will find that after the credits is the same theatrical trailer shown in Japanese cinemas for Evangelion 3.0 as well! So I'd suggest you stay until the credits are finished. I checked this earlier this month as we're using the same reel I used at the Glasgow Film Festival screening.

There will also be a workshop from Jonathan Clements on both days but I need to confirm the details for booking a place on that, I'll post it up afterwards for anyone interested in taking part. Spaces will be limited to 15 places on each day for the workshop element.

Enjoy ^^!

GuardianDemon

Fair enough !! Guess i read the article wrong !! Thanks for the correction

johnny_ultimate

I was actually just wondering (and secretly fearing) that all the films would be dubbed, so cheers for the clarification

I would have been very disappointed if Eva started up and the voices were English!

Numina

I wonder with the Panel, is it just going to be when 5cm ends we stay seated and have the Panel in the theater, or is it hosted elsewhere?

Very likely in the theatre.
Probably the guests sitting at the screen, with a microphone being passed around for questions.

It's basically a presentation & discussion chaired by a speaker, with questions from the audience (either throughout or at the end).

In the IFI? They had one last March, they said this is their second.. so not that I know of, but if wrong I'd really like to hear about this, to plan for society trips.

Also, they're doing an extra panel on anime writing Saturday morning.

Workshop name: Think like an Anime Writer
Date(s): 20th and 21st of March
Times: 10:00 to 12:30 latest
Where: The IFI, Cinema 3
Cost: €8

Description:

In this workshop, Jonathan Clements puts delegates through a real-life brainstorming process to create the outline of a new animated TV show for a fictional corporation. They will experience the joy of new ideas and the misery of unwelcome truths from company accountants. Their storyline will be subjected to due diligence from many real-world perspectives – as well as standard craft concerns, they will be made to consider the effects of design, packaging, advertising, budgets, spin-offs, legal issues, broadcast paradigms, foreign market, audience reception and earlier precedents.

Sure, we'll just put the IFI on the back of a lorry.

Special package price of €47 (€42 members) for all 6 screenings. Regular admissions apply. Students/Under 16s: €5

So I take it this means it's regular admission per film on top of the €47? Or could a student go to each movie for just €5 each?

Each film is 5 euro for a student anyway.

Went to see the Evangelion movies today. It was a great day and both movies were excellent. 2.0 branches a fair bit off from the original series (as much as I remember anyways). But that isn't a complaint in any way.

e_e

Eva 2.0 was incredible! Almost as good as End of Evangelion.

lizardfudge

Yep. The EVA movies were fantastic. Really gripping. Although I'm not overly sure about the massive plot changes 2.0 is making... but it will be interesting to see where they're going with it all.

Looks like a lot of people went with the package price which unfortunately meant a lot of bored f*ckwits fidgeting about during 5cm Per Second, which was a beautiful little film, even if the music video ending was a bit naff.

e_e

Some idiot beside me was playing with his phone all the way through 5CM Per Second. Very annoying.

Konata

Eva 2.0 - Amazing.

Kaji & Shinji scene = lulz.
