Meanwhile, we finally have the long-awaited release of feature Japanese animated film, EVANGELION 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance. Finally hit the theatres last week in Japan. Here's a yummy trailer:

Wow, to the point of almost creepy. Apple's movie trailers page just uploaded the trailer for EVANGELION 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone. This first installment opened in Japanese theatres almost two years ago, and I'm pleasantly amused to find that it made its way all the way to the US. I'm sure anime otakus and nerds will be thrilled by the US opening of this cult animation series. Very few Japanese animation feature films make it to US theatres, with the exception of Ghibli Studio creations.
From the looks of the trailer though, the film seems to be horribly dubbed, but the quality of the animation/VFX, and the wonderfully multilayered angst/action/scifi/drama plot will blow many away...
... or not, as there is just as much flack against animation (or specifically the Japanese "anime") as there is on sci-fi, unfortunately.
