Re: NTE's interpretation of the characters

Might as well just repost what I wrote on a different thread here, because I still think that more than anything else, this series proves that Anno does have at least one character he has nothing but hatred for, that being Rei, alongside his scorn at those who refuse to see her as creepy like he doe...

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?

Just saying, given how he has said that he intended Rei to be creepy and views her as his least favorite character, alongside how 3.0 turned out in terms of how it treated Shinji's actions, along with how little screentime the last film gave in terms of Rei II, it really comes across that he hates o...

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?

Course, his appreciation for the fandom completely disappears when it comes to Rei and the fans of her character. If the lack of screentime or much of satisfying closure she had in the last film is any indication, it still seems apparent to me that she is the one character of this series that he utt...

Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions

To paste another one of my posts from another site. Honestly, despite my long winded post earlier, I'm not gonna say that I hated the film, far from it. Heck, there are things I liked about it. The visuals, barring the occasional wonky CGI here and there, were gorgeous as always. I liked seeing Rei ...

Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions

Yeah, for all my complaints, I didn't hate the whole movie. Heck, I wouldn't even say that I hated it. There were still moments and elements that I truly enjoyed, and like I mentioned, it was a much easier and more fun experience than 3.0 was. I just wish it was better. All things considered, 2.0 is...

Re: Why don't the creators of Rebuild of Evangelion never have time for Mari?

Seriously, Rei Q got yeeted out of the film unceremoniously after going through a decent, albeit derivative mini-arc, and was thusly replaced with her old self. With that in mind, I was hoping for more of the latter getting to share scenes with Shinji, but alas. Heck, the fact that Rei was programme...

Re: Why don't the creators of Rebuild of Evangelion never have time for Mari?

Once with Rei II when she is saved by her, and once with Rei Q while they are fighting. That's it. Talk about a wasted opportunity. Then again, Rei's character as a whole felt rather wasted in the last film. Rei Q got yeeted out of the film after a more condensed version of her previous incarnation'...

Re: Why don't the creators of Rebuild of Evangelion never have time for Mari?

To be frank, the series, imo, pretty much peaked with the climax to 2.22, as that felt indeed felt like proper conclusion to Shinji's arc. The fact that they had to go and retcon what all happened at the end of it in the next film only adds to my suspicion. Funnily enough, at least in 3.0+1.0, I act...

Re: The flaws and/or artistic validity of Shin and NTE as a whole

Honestly, Axx pretty much summarized a lot of my problems with the film. Once again, Anno prioritizes themes over narrative coherence, and it just doesn't work out. I too, will spoil what I wrote in several other threads on this site to explain my thoughts. (Note: A lot of this writing is me bei...

Re: Q's original story/stage greeting with Anno [split]

Gotta say, all these details would've really made the film easier to swallow. Leaving it out just for the sake of "feeling like Shinji" isn't an even trade imo.

Just want to know you guys' thoughts. Some people have actually theorized that the pics drawn by the staff in the pamphlet that was handed out during the last run are in fact the epilogue of what happens after the end. To quote: "In the last picture where appears Maya and Ritsuko in the farm ap...

After all, Mari was one of the ones who stood by him all these time When does that happen?

Re: Shin Eva leak general

I do know that many members of the Japanese Twitter community are noting how Mari's relationship with Shinji seems to mirror how Moyoco helped out Anno during his times of depression and the like. Honestly, though I still wanted to see Rei be the one (bite me XD), this actually doesn't upset me. Aft...
