Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions
It's really interesting seeing just how polarizing the movie is, reactions are so immensely divided. I don't think I've seen a single "it aight" reaction, you either think it's fucking amazing incredible, or it's trash doodoo. The power of expectations I guess? I sit in between. I thought...

Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions
But I just wanted to respond to say this is factually just wrong. NGE and EoE are my favorite pieces of media of all time, but the NTE impacted me just as much, if not more (possibly due to my age now and the story just feeling more relevant to the issues I have in my life) than the original series...

Re: How do you feel about NTE? + Rank the movies!
I enjoyed Shin Eva, but when it ended I it did nothing to lessen the sense I've had since the beginning that artistically, this was all completely unnecessary. I'd say: 1. 3.0 + 1.0 - By this point I had no expectation of any depth, so I could enjoy it for what it is: an avalanche of absurd super ro...

Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions
Then he realizes that trying to rewrite shit (which is basically Anno talking to us directly on a meta-level), no matter how you remix the events, no matter how ridiculous and convoluted the plot devices get, shit is always gonna be the same and feel empty. Unless you're rewriting the existence of ...

Did you think the same of Shinji went from moping guy to last fisherman of the lake to watch Rei get tang'ed after he named her to be the one who decided to go back to the wunder.
Yes.

Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions
People: Shinji is never going to get back in the robot, beat up his dad, and save the girl. Anno would never do that. He subverts expectations. Anno: I will now proceed to do the thing I purportedly will never do, thus subverting expectations. People: No not like that I don't think it's so surprisi...

Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions
This movie makes it even more clear how dependent the things that most distinguished the original Evangelion were upon the specific context and mental state Anno was in when he made it. He just isn't that guy anymore. The escalating super robot action was much more convincing to me than the psycholo...

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?
Honestly my issue with it is simpler. I cannot imagine a woman in her 40s who worked with people like Gendo, Yui and Fuyutsuki in a military organisation running around sniffing a teenaged boy, spouting catchphrases and talking about her boobs to an almost-stranger. But yes, her lack of any kind int...

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?
I cannot believe we're supposed to accept Mari as someone close to Gendo's age. The most juvenile, freaky anime type of the whole cast.
For her to be positioned as some sort of symbol of 'growing up' and 'moving on' into reality boggles the mind.

Re: How do you feel about NTE? + Rank the movies!
Shin is the best. but I'm still confused ... how a loop starts and when it ends? Continuity and direct sequel are different? Why are they on the EoE beach? does this affect the continuity of nge and eoe? my mind is going to explode :???: I think it's best to think of it as 4th wall breaks. Clip...

Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions
It was very dumb, but I had fun. Honestly, the more it leaned into its dumbness, the more I liked it. Anno is completely indulging his 70s anime fetishism here with the escalating super robot nonsense. The action is very similar to 3.0s; all airborne, constantly spinning, framed too tight, crossing ...
