This news is pretty much old already. It was announced with the start of the Puchi Eva Project that it will be made into conventional media such as anime.

Actually, the new announcement makes a noticeable effort of not saying the spinoff will be a "conventional" anime. In fact, the word "anime" is not used at all; the announcement consciously, almost awkwardly, uses the word "eizō" ("imagery" or "footage") instead. Given that some of the four-panel gag manga are not "conventional," drawn manga, but composited photographs of the figurines, calling the new spinoff "anime" would be drawing conclusions. Edit: Eizō mispelled. Last edited by Egan Loo on Mon Aug 06, 2007 11:51 am; edited 1 time in total |

You a Ferrari fan?  Should be "eizō."
Appleseed had used this word in their promotional video to describe the movie, so I'd say it's okay.

Phew! I thought it was another spin-off of the show, but in deformed way. Heh, awesome!

Heh, thanks for catching that.
That actually highlights when this phrasing for project announcements is used instead of old standbys — when the producers wants to be vague to imply something isn't our "conventional" media. It's not necessarily something that will "alter the future of movies" as that Appleseed blurb claimed, but it's not necessarily "conventional." |

That's why the devil is in the details. What's new, and what's not old news, about this announcement is the confirmation — back in March, it was just talk. It's like the difference between mulling the next Indiana Jones project and actually greenlighting the project. Also, the producers are being very circumspect about describing this new spinoff as any kind of "conventional media." Even saying that it will be "conventional media" is drawing conclusions. There's irony in citing a magazine to say that the actual greenlighting is old news, when it's that same magazine that's trumpeting the greenlighting as new news in the latest issue.

Let me quote your news there:
There's your irony.

Heh, that kind of irony is rampant in the industry. Bandai, the actual primary source itself, is announcing the confirmation, which makes it news—even before the confirmation it announces. |

Although I dislike beating a dead horse, and I hated the Eva movie(s), I think this will be kind of fun. Misato lives again! *insert evil cackle here*

This is gonna rock, if only for this "Evancho". It would be cool if they did it with clay like the comic.
Face it, the cast of Evangelion have become icons in the world of anime. As much as people might not like it, we're gonna be seeing them over and over for years to come. |

The last time they did that at the end of the tv show, fans defended it as "important to the story". Now that it's officially just a cash-in, what are you gonna say?
