The Sky Crawlers Eva Rating

I was looking around at blu-ray external readers today. And there was only one reason why. I am going to buy 'The Sky Crawlers" and I am absolutely determined to watch it in HD. How can you not watch the clean, crisp and spectacular animation on a normal DVD? My new housemate has a 50 inch Kuro Pioneer TV. Basically that means absolute black for the blacks. When I watch The Sky Crawlers a second time it is going to be bliss. The story stirs up all the right feelings I love; feelings that my most favourite animes Evangelion and SEL emanate.

I thought I should kind of put the amazingness of this film in perspective.
End of Evangelion has a shock and awe factor of 10/10. Meaning...shock for roughly over a week. The personality kind of suddenly goes introverted for a while. No need for outside influence, the thought train of Eva alone is perfectly satisfying.

I would rate SEL (Serial Experiments Lain) at roughly 6. The content itself is not revolutionising, but the emotion flares up to extreme highs in the last episode.

As for The Sky Crawlers...I'd say...5. This is an impressive score considering it is a film that lasts for roughly 2 hours compared to SEL and NGE at about 6 and 12 hours respectively. There isn't much time for character development but the general concept of the film breaks some unchartered ground and smashes ignorance's face in. Heh heh

I will probably rate a few things in the future with an Eva score...unfortunately. Tooooo much time on my hands. I'm going for a run. That's useful at least.

This link is a good interpretation of The Sky Crawlers. Interpretation means it's spoiler town.
