I recommend watching the commentary DVD with Yamaga and Akai, pretty fun and lots of little bits of lore or stories about how they came up with these little details of worldbuilding.
This old Manga Films DVD has the commentary and also has some extra footage of different still images (concept sketches, etc) set to the soundtrack of the film (and also soundtrack outtakes iirc)

was it rape?

I like how every character has a unique face structure, features and height, it makes it feel even more of an organic world.
Peak Sadamoto.

Did anyone try the Aoki Uru official mod for MS Flight Simulator?

Best worldbuilding in fiction according to Ted Chiang.

I know Gainax is dead but still I desperately wish that Uru in Blue might happen somehow.

Been a good while since i watched it.
So i may be misremembering, but always thought it was 50/50.
Like, at that point, Shiro was pretty burned on everything given that the media was ridiculing and making some sort of political statement about the rocket. When he saw the girl again, he saw she had cash which she had previously said she despised because sin and stuff, so he misread the signals, needed an output for his frustration and thought he was good to go.
There really was no malice involved and Shiro seemed embarassed, so they moved past it.
Never understood why so many people fixiate on that scene in particular. I mean, yes it's a shocking scene and it can come off as out nowhere for first time casual viewing. But it makes sense in the context and it really is a brief instance compared to the rest of the film

The commentary track seems like a good idea for a rewatch. I'll try that some time soon.

It's set something like 50 years after the events of Honneamise.
It's about the air force rather than the space force.

From the old english gainax site:

The feeling of fast machines flying through the air
The grief and suffering of life
An animated film for adults
Men who love combat
Middle-aged men who are addicted to games
And the women who deride such men
This movie has all of these elements in mind.
(From the Aoki URU 1992 Project Document)

>Eva has its 30th anniversary
>a new show announcement
>Aoki Uru probably doesn't even have a script

>>23740325
Is this commentary online anywhere?

>>23752782
It's also important because shiro isn't supposed to be some great guy, just a failure trying find a purpose in his life

The original script was actually released in full if I'm not mistaken
On this CD-ROM you can download and see for yourself here

that's not sadamoto
if you look at his actual art for honneamise they clearly use the same style of face he uses for eva
the characters were probably cleaned up by another artist, likely mahiro maeda since they brought him on from ghibli
