If EVA was produced today, with this animation; do you people think it would still stand out a legacy as much as it does today?
You mean if it didn't come out in 1995? It'd be considered "That mecha show that attempted to match RahXephon."
Isn't Eva just a mecha show that attempted to match Ideon? That hasn't hurt its success much.
Also RahXephon wouldn't exist at all if it wasn't for Eva. Perhaps more importantly it wouldn't have any promenance in the West at all if it wasn't for Eva. People seem mainly drawn to it because "it's that show that's like Eva but isn't emo". As far as I know it just kind of came and went in Japan.
I think you could say that a similar thing has happened with both Ideon and Rah. You don't really hear people talking about them much accept outside of comparisons with Eva. With Ideon it was forgotten for like ten years unlike other 80's mecha such Macross and Gundam and then suddenly everyone's talking about how great series it is (which it isn't).
Anyway this thread is about the trailer.
