Is Pacific Rim a copy of Evangelion?
« on: June 26, 2013, 12:03:35 am »
First of all, you should know that I'm a huge fan of the Neon Genesis Evangelion series.  If you don't know what it is, it's about 14-year-old children forced to pilot giant cyborgs that fight evil monsters called Angels.  It's set in a post-apocalyptic world where more than half of the human race died out because of an event called the Second Impact.  These angels are trying to reunite with Adam, the First Angel, to cause the destruction of lilim (all life on earth).  Well, back to my story.  I was at the theater last week and the previews of upcoming movies were showing, but one of them caught my eye.  The movie was called Pacific Rim and it is about giant monsters that came from the sea, so humans created giant robots to battle them.  In order to show you the similarities, here's a link to a video with audio from the Pacific Rim trailer and the video from Neon Genesis Evangelion:

  P.S. the clips from this video are not from the original Neon Genesis Evangelion series, but they are from the Rebuild of Evangelion series which is still in production

Yep.  The same voice acor and even the same filter to make her voice sound robotic.
