Neon Genesis Evangelion and the Rebuild movies
What are your guys thoughts on the original Evangelion series (+ EoE)? What about the Rebuild movies?
I'm not a 'massive fan' of Evangelion, but I liked the original series. Some episodes were rather dull (that one microscopic angel was retarded) but some of it was good. Definitely a good series, but it's not one of my favourites or anything.
The rebuild movies are kinda meh. I absolutely loved 1.0; seeing the first episodes of the original series reanimated with much better fight scenes (Ramiel looked -blam!-ing awesome) was quite cool, and I actually prefer the first rebuild movie to the first episodes of the original.
I didn't really like the 2.0. I didn't like what they changed, like Asuka replacing Toji as the fourth child. I felt that scene was done much better in the original series. The fight scenes were still pretty amazing, though; [url=http://i.imgur.com/PVBVAhE.jpg]especially this scene.[/url]
3.0 was meh. It started off sorta cool but I honestly didn't really like it that much.
I still have hope that 4.0 will be good. The ending has alot of potential, considering all the hints that the Rebuild movies are actually a sequel to the original series. Along with the pic attached to my post, there is also [url=http://i.4cdn.org/a/src/1385924564087.jpg]this[/url] one. So hopefully 4.0 will redeem the rebuild series somehow.
So, what do you guys think of the NGE and the Rebuild movies?

1 ReplyI personally prefer the Rebuilds over the original (at least, from what I've seen so far, as I've yet to se 3.33), simply because the Angel fights are some of the best fight scenes I've ever seen (especially 2.22, dear gods, was that awesome) and it's a little bit more to the point. That's no detriment to the original series, of course. Neon Genesis Evangelion was and still is something that anime should strive to be. The fact that it can juggle and develop the psyches of so many characters in the span of 26 (28 counting The End of Evangelion) episodes as well as it did is something to be admired. On the downside of the original, however, is the massive shortcuts it took in the animation. Need I remind you of the scenes where the characters just stood there? Doing nothing? For two minutes straight? Yeah, scenes like those, and scenes that pointedly avoided showing any movement, including the movement of the characters' mouths, were massive shortcuts in the animation due to budget constraints. Of course, when the animation needs to be good, it's great, but those scenes were just... ugh. The manga is great. It's more or less the original series with a few divergences (from what I've read, anyhow).
