Schoology ikuna6/12/2023 HEB leaders giving instructions to peers – “If your instructions are poor, the outcome too will be poor” quoted by a learner. “I’m learning about what leadership means to me, the duties and responsibilities of a leader,” says one of our participants at Life Health Foods. Our thanks go to our early adopter clients at Life Health Foods, HEB Construction, Dempsey Wood and Solo. Upskills worked on the design and undertook the pilot process of all four of these courses. These new learning courses are based on research with Auckland employers and a codesign process with participants. We’re excited to bring Well-being, Introduction to Leadership, Pasifika Leadership Confidence and Kaitiakitanga (Sustainability) to our clients and learners from October 2022. So yeah, is seems like Evangelion is Evangelion right up to the very end.This is the goal behind the release of six new micro-credentials in Project Ikuna. So without getting into spoiler-y details, we can say that Thrice Upon a Time is complex, hits different people in different ways, and is something that immediately triggers a repeat-viewing reaction. Not only does it have the longest runtime of any Evangelion movie ever, it’s an incredibly dense film, and Seiji and Ikuna concur that once wasn’t enough for them to fully absorb and appreciate all that Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time throws at the audience. However, there was one thing our two Eva fans completely agree on: they both want to watch the movie again. It just didn’t feel Eva-like, and I was like ‘Seriously?!?’ Plus, knowing that this is really the end for the series makes me doubly sad. Ikuna: “I think I probably just didn’t want Eva to end that way. Seiji: “I thought it was a really beautiful way to end it.” Ikuna: “It’s not that it was no good, but I was like ‘Is that how you’re gonna end it?!?’” Seiji: “Wait, you though the ending was no good?” Ikuna: “Well, I’d agree with you until part-way through the movie, but that ending…” Seiji: “Wow, that was just incredible, wasn’t it, Ikuna?” That’s the thing Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time had me thinking as I left the theater.īut as we mentioned, Seiji didn’t watch the movie alone, so afterwards he compared notes with Ikuna. ![]() It does feel like it’s about time for me to grow up. It’s something we didn’t really have in Eva until now.Įvangelion was my youth, and now I’m 39. To me, that feeling of nothingness was a continuing characteristic of Evangelion, but Rebuild of Evangelion comes to a proper conclusion. In the original TV series and movies (Death and Rebirth and The End of Evangelion), the story that’s unfolding is one in which the world hangs in the balance, but their endings feel like the main character switched off the show before anyone found out what happened. Looking back, I think a big reason I felt like that hole would never be filled was because there was never a final, definitive ending. ![]() Watching the Rebuild movies confirmed that hole was still there in my heart, and I thought it’d never be filled, but I feel like Thrice Upon a Time has filled it. It was two and a half decades when I first felt that impact, and it hasn’t lessened at all in the time since. I was 13 when it started, and turned 14 while I was watching it, and it left a sense of emptiness, like a hole, in my heart. I’m 39 now, so when the original Evangelion TV series was airing, I was the perfect age for it to affect me. Honestly, this was an amazing conclusion. It was like Hideaki Anno was telling me “And now it’s time for you to be an adult,” and I don’t think there could be any better ending than the way this turned out. That was the despondent feeling I had when Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time came to a close. So without further ado, let’s turn it over to Seiji for his spoiler-free impressions: That meant most fans had work or school responsibilities to take care of during the first screenings, but luckily for our Japanese-language reporter and in-house Evangelion superfan Seiji Nakazawa, his work assignment for the day was “go watch the Eva movie,” so that’s just what he did, heading to the theater with fellow correspondent and Eva enthusiast Ikuna Kamezawa. That was supposed to be only an eight-year wait, until the coronavirus caused six months of delays, so with much of Japan coming out of the government-declared state of emergency on March 8, Eva’s handlers wasted no time pushing it into theaters, with the strange result being that one of the most highly anticipated films in recent memory in Japan debuted on a Monday. Are congratulations in order as creator Hideaki Anno’s masterpiece anime franchise reaches the end of its 26-year journey?Īfter the controversial Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, fans had to wait nine years for Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, the fourth and final entry in the Rebuild of Evangelion film series that’s also the conclusion to the Eva animated canon.
