Please explain to me how "things being able to suddenly get fucked up and the pilots killed" is something Pacific Rim and Evangelion uniquely have in common, as apposed to things like Getter Robo, Godannar, Mazinger Z, or virtually any 'real robot' Mecha anime ever made? I read your post. "Evangelion is basically this movie but done perfectly", which is a false statement by someone who has probably only ever watched a hand-full of mecha anime, and therefore automatically associates "giant robots fighting monsters" with Evangelion, despite them having little in common beyond that. And btw, in Evangelion, a pilot was never "brutally killed" in a similar fashion to what happened in Pacific Rim. Never. Not once. | ||

Sure they both have giant robots, sudden alien invasions and characters that have to find it within themselves to repel said invasion. But the two aren't really alike at all. I feel like people that compare this movies with EVA haven't watched either enough Godzilla movies or other giant robot series to make a more appropriate comparison. This movie wasn't trying to be EVA so of course if that is what you were looking for it to be, it will feel off. | ||

I still can't believe how they could rape Mutavore so hard and then get completely owned by Otachi.... Although I guess they were mostly out of that fight after Leatherback's EMP. | ||

And btw, in Evangelion, a pilot was never "brutally killed" Stop spreading Trash if you dont even watched the EoE movie. And guys please stop hating on people that get reminded of Evangelion while watching this movie.For most people Evangelion was the first/only Anime that had this mecha theme.Its annoying as hell. | ||

Killed=/=Killed like how they were in Pacific Rim. People die in almost all action anime ever made. Saying "People die in Pacific Rim, thats just like what happened in Evangelion!" is insane.

Again, you people seem to be associating "people getting killed" directly with Evagelion, specifically, for next to no reason. What death in EoE was like one in Pacific Rim? Eva-02 getting impaled by like 15 spears? When did that happen in Pacific Rim? | ||

For the Eva debaters, I would say that simply sharing the same genre and subject material doesn't make this film a live-action Evangelion. It lacks a lot of things that made Evangelion unique and has plenty of unique qualities on its own. The theme about the basic imperfections (or incompletion) of individual human beings however is surprisingly transcendent between the two works, so they certainly do have a great deal in common. It's a great theme too, I loved both. | ||

http://xbox360.tgbus.com/zixun/qtxg/201308/20130813165802.shtml It contains some details on the next sequel: Robot vs Robot AND Monster vs Monster + Show Spoiler + (the Gipsy danger was left in the alien space and the monster brain which is a hive mind was difted with the scientist) but right now nothing is set in stone, it might or might no have a sequel depending on the box office in asia most likely | ||

It's also expected to bring in a bit more in China after the 2 week hiatus for domestic films. If you add the fact that the movie is great for merch, and that sequels are nearly guaranteed to do good at the box office, we've probably got ourselves Pacific Rim 2. Not even joking had to go like 3 hour drive to pick up any of the 7 inch action figures for PR and they were selling at ~$50 a pop with like 6 total in this massive swap-meet-ish warehouse full of nerdstuff stalls. And they only had 3 out so far (typhoon/danger/knifehead). not related: coyote tango best gun cannon~ | ||

 .Loved the movie, got exactly what I expected from it. Biggest complaint was that Gipsy Danger got most (all?) of long fight sequences...would've loved to have seen Crimson Typhoon and Cherno One get more love. | ||

Only if they decide to cut the existentialist crap to an absolute bare minimum. That whole hedgehogs dilemma and religion/bible stuff is seriously overrated. | ||
