I enjoyed 3.0 so much that I rewatched it again the very next day back when it came out.

I liked 3.0 a lot, but the wait for 4.0 is interminable and it makes me grumpy.

Tony Takezaki's Evangelion parody just landed at my local comic shop on Wednesday and it is cracked out but funny as hell. Only slightly less ridiculous than Shinji Ikari Detective Agency.

I didn't like it that much but 3.0 retroactively made me like 2.0 which I hated when it came out because 3.0 made it clear the poo poo I hated was intentional.

That's just the way he rolls.
The thing that pisses me off about 3.0 is that while 2.22 ended on such a high note: gently caress YEAH HE SAVED REI! Oh gently caress Shinji just merged with Rei! He transcended infinity becoming a God! 3rd impact is happening! Oh gently caress Kaworu out of no where! Oh boy I can't wait to see how this plays out!

" Nope." - Anno.

The...the gently caress, Anno?

[edit] That scream as he tries to break through still gives me goosebumps :zoro:

...2.22 ended with our hero nearly causing the apocalypse exactly as forseen by his evil fuckwit father only to be stopped by some mysterious moon person impaling him with a spear.

I meant a high note story wise, like the glorious end of a season finale.

Eva should never end on a happy ever after ending. Ever.

I love how so many Eva fans dislike 3.0 for pulling an Eva on them, switching gears out of left field and going from fun action robot to human misery poo poo show.

I love Rebuild.

That's a really unpleasant way to look at a story about depression and miscommunication.

Anyways, I think people are overstating the disconnect between Rebuild 2 and 3. Ignoring all the literal apocalypse stuff for a minute, both the climax of 2 and the first act of 3 are about Shinji trying to reconcile with Rei for abandoning her / seemingly not valuing her as much as she values him. Kaworu is introduced as someone who tries to intercede (preventing Third Impact), tries to help (repairing the SDAT, the piano duet), and in the process of trying to teach Shinji to relate to people falls for him himself and gets hurt because of it.

I like Rebuild 3 (and the climax of 2) but I'm wary of it because it's very close to implying that trying to connect to people is the source of everything that's going wrong. People often make the (fairly obvious) Gendo-Yui / Shinji-Rei comparison, but Gendo's obsession with Yui has always been portrayed as fairly one-sided; she loved him but she had other priorities. Rei on the other hand is all about her connection to other people. She spent most of Rebuild 2 trying to be a better friend to Shinji and in the end when Zeruel and Unit-01 merge and he reaches out to her she reaches back.

Putting that event at the center of the end of the world sets an ugly precedent, even with the parallel track about selfishness and Shinji's motivations. The TV series + EoE went out of its way to affirm that no matter how much connecting to people hurts, it's preferable to the alternative. Misunderstanding, complicated motivations, and human frailty were necessarily embraced as part of the whole package. The only people who are outright condemned are the ones who rejected that completely (SEELE, Gendo) and even Gendo gets a measure of forgiveness once he acknowledges the source of his mistakes.

If you were to judge it only by what we have right now, Rebuild seems much more hardline, but I don't think it makes much sense to do that; there are too many dangling threads that could unravel the whole reading.

Nope, we'll just have to hope it gets an EU release. Or buy a US BD player I guess, depending on how desperate you are.
I think its possible to play stuff on a PC with a bluray drive but even that's kind of a mess due to the draconian HDCP poo poo.

There is like three goddamn spin-off's all centering on that High School AU where nothing went wrong until suddenly angels!, sometimes I wish that fanfic I read in my childhood where Shinji grew a beard, buffed out and ripped an angel's head off with literal bear hands before ending like a GI Joe cartoon was canon.

This is the plot for 4.0 Final 1.0+3.0 Evangelion 4: The Search for Yui's Gold, except he'll still weep and initiate Final Impact afterward because it's Evangelion.

The first half-hour of the film is an extended beard-growing montage, and he develops an anyeurism trying to will himself a beard while sitting on the toilet.

Well the SIP manga is longer than the actual NGE manga and I don't think it's ending any time soon. That's pretty impressive.

As for the video game, wasn't there a Rei variant? I think I saw it on EvaGeeks. Granted, that might very old by this point.
