Old Century Evangelion Date: 9/11/2006 |
| Combing through the new Evangelion movie material on the official Japanese Evangelion website, something else interesting sticks out for those out to soak up every last detail of this story. A term therein refers to the pre-existing Evangelion animation of the 1990's (TV series and Movies) as "kyuu seiki ban" or "old century version". Japanese observers are reading possible deep meaning into the use of this term as it's not exactly clear why it was used as of yet. But it's use would seem to indicate a definite "seperation" of the old eva vs this new work. This is opposed the name of the new film series: "shin gekijou ban" or "new movie version". Interestingly, the Japanese title of the original TV series was "Shin Seiki Evangelion" or "New Century Evangelion", An alternate title for the 1997 movie END OF EVANGELION was "Evangelion Gekijou-ban" or "Evengelion Movie version. |
