Same here. I first registered in 2012 right after seeing 3.0 and not having a goddamn clue what I'd just seen.....then it looks like I stayed away until this week when I came here on Monday right after seeing 3.0 + 1.0.
This was a much better cinematic experience. It's just a better movie. 3.0 kinda sucked.
Anyway, I've been here all week but my excitement is dying down as the adrenaline wears off.
I think I'm gonna go fuck off again. I remember why I didn't stick around....all this endless nonstop theorizing about this or that tiny little detail, especially from people that are CONVINCED they're "right".....and 99.99% of them haven't even seen the movie yet!
You'd think by now people would have just accepted that Evangelion is surrealism and has been since day one. There is no plan. They literally make it up as they go. It's never all going to "fit" or make perfect sense. Just enjoy it...just go with it....stop trying to force it into a box it'll never fit in!
I also agree that this was a fun movie and had some amazing animation and sequences, but End of Evangelion is still tops. Giant Naked Rei in oddly realistic CGI ain't got nothing on the sheer horror of seeing her awkward movements the only hand-animated way. That look on Shinji's face where he sees her and completely loses what little is left of his mind? Priceless.
Well, Rebuild gave us 2.0 and I absolutely love that movie too. "Thrice" is third best of the theatrical Evangelion releases.
It was a hell of a ride, but I'm getting off here and getting back to reality.
Don't forget to buy or "acquire" the full soundtrack when it comes out....it's baller!!
