Oh, okay. Just another unanswered question then...

A theory about until You come to me that wasn't mentioned in the video is that it includes footage not from the next film, but from an extended ending of 3.0 which was removed during development. Either option would make sense to me. What a great little film that was, by the way. Sagisu was the bes...

This clip from Goatjesus talking about the Rebuilds sums up my feelings about the setup for the finale in a nutshell. https://youtu.be/ffVesUI188g?t=847 Oh yeah, I was planning to watch GoatJesus's Rebuild critique videos after I had finished up watching the movies. Forgot about that, thanks. Also,...

Best case scenario I can see is us getting a few core bare necessity questions answered, but we the audience (and Shinji) are just going to have to live with unanswered questions... Really, that's what makes me angry about 3.0. The setup it's left us with for the finale. I would be able to live wit...

Hahaha I guess so. I still do want to learn how to write in a more concise manner, though. It's part of the reason I joined these forums actually--to get some more writing experience. Weird reason, I know...

This video summarizes my thoughts on 3.0 pretty well actually. Just thought I should post this because my original wall of text on 3.0 may have been a bit cumbersome (okay, it probably was; I don't know how to write briefly, if you can't tell).

^Thanks, though there seems to be at least two threads of over 40 pages on this topic. Looks like I've got a lot of reading to do...

... and now I'm tentatively off that train, I guess. I had no idea about any of this stuff. Thanks for letting me know.

Okay, so first of all: I still haven't quite decided what I think about 3.0. There are so many different aspects to it, all of which are accompanied by some degree of confusion. So, I guess I should start with what I did like. I loved the visual aesthetic--by far my favorite part of the film. The ru...

I just watched 3.0...
I, um... I just watched 3.0... and I, um...
I think I'm going to have to sleep on it.

...this Asuka has some big differences from the NGE Asuka. Most importantly: Shikinami does not seem to hate herself and she's more in sync and open with her feelings. [...] She's not desperate to be perceived as an adult and it doesn't seem like she seeks validation from others by piloting an Eva....

Asuka doesn't have a Kaji infatuation in NTE like she did in NGE. In this instance, her character is defined by another character in NGE, and not by herself as an individual. Does a lack of infatuation equal a shallower character, or simply prove that Asuka can stand on her own as a character bette...

For those who know it well and are invested in its ideas there does seem to be a process of freeing oneself from expectations based on the series, which is clearly harder for some than others. I think I'll get there. The changes are just... a lot to get used to. I'm definitely excited in analyzing ...

Pen Pen.

Yeah, I've watched those videos. Definitely the most concise and comprehensive presentation of Anno's career that I've seen.

This is the thing - we don't yet know what the destination of this set of films is. However, it is clear that it is telling a different story from the series, and that even the characters are different. The more that people compare with the series, the more puzzled or confused they get; but you see...

Hi. I'm not entirely sure if this is an appropriate thread to make or not, but as I couldn't find any general "Evangelion 2.0 reaction" thread or something of that sort (that aren't locked, at least), I thought this would be the best plan of action. I have no idea how much traction, if any...

This is an interesting video on the subject. Not sure if I agree with it or not, but he makes a few good points.

Don't know why this post hasn't garnered any replies yet. I listened to the first four episodes, and I gotta say, I love what you're doing here. You offer some genuinely interesting insights on specific things within each episode, but at the same time you still maintain that big-picture view of the ...

^I agree with all of this. And while I can understand most of the "She's a bitch" line of reasoning--although I may not agree with all of it--I find it difficult to view her hypocritical ways with anything more than pity. I mean, treating others apathetically is one thing, but she really h...
