I guess you can only milk so much out of Otaku, eh?
From Anime Corporation News –
Evangelion: 1.0 Box Office Drop
The Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone anime movie has dropped to the second place in the Japanese Box Office for the September 8-9 weekend. It was bumped down with the debut of Hero.
Ray’s take: Also, the Lance was sold out for roughly $120,000, instead of the $ 84 million price that it was. I guess the New Century Evangelion money making scam can only last so long, eh? Even the fapping worthy powers of Rei, Asuka, and Misato ain’t gonna cut it…
Eva is wonderful, but I kind of want them to leave the franchise alone at this point. The story was concluded with EofE and that’s fine with me.
I am sure that these movies will be money makers, and I still do want to see them. I hope the inclusion of new characters doesn’t alter existing continuity too much.
