I loved it its entirety. I don't see why the ending would detract from it, it was a beautiful and poignant conclusion.

Much better than Summer Wars, whose virtual world scenes I didn't care for (family stuff was good though).

Using Asuka to promote inane, hypocritical campaigns, and with an ugly cosplayer to boot. Nice.

In the original Eva, there were many people who took something that I created as a source of amusement beyond those limits and made it into an object of dependence. I wanted to take responsibility for the fact that such people had been so "inflated." I wanted to bring the work back within...

Asuka, because trying to heal her would be quite the experience.

Too bad I'm already at an age where it would be creepy to get romantically involved with her.

So I'm going to a Radiohead concert next week. Hype. Even if the setlist will consist mostly of The King of Limbs stuff, which I'm half-indifferent too. Hopefully a few classics from The Bends and OK Computer will still make the cut though.

Well he insists that he'll make Shinji happy, so presumably he still embodies love in one form or another. Now it seems more of a "I'll make you happy whether you like it or not" to me, though. I have a feeling that Kaworu is going to become an antagonist, trying to force a happin...

It'd be nice if he were similar to Manga Kaworu, if only for seeing kitties being crushed to death animated.

At the midpoint the original series wasn't all that different from how Rebuild is. The original set up a fairly run of the mill fanservicey anime in the first half too, which it then tore apart. Judging by what we've seen of 3.0 (the blue poster, the title, voice actor's comments et...
