Eclipse Web Site. Slow Cooker Chili Recipe. Organize, Discuss, Discover. Neon Genesis Evangelion. Note: This is a spoiler-free review.
Occasionally, one gains knowledge of a certain story or event, in any form, that boggles his or her mind beyond comprehension. You don't know how you feel about it. Do you hate it or love it? It's definitely not just 'average' if it could evoke such uncertainty and conflict within you. Neon Genesis Evangelion is that story for me. Piloting the Evangelion requires a certain amount of nerve synchronisation with its pilot, which is why all the pain of damage served to the machine is also inflicted upon the pilot.
NGE is often referred to as a classic masterpiece of utmost influence by the average anime viewer for its powerful psychological implications and startling symbolism. While the basis of NGE is not entirely unique, its manner of execution- as convoluted as it may be- more than compensates for that. NGE is one of 'those' anime. The characters of NGE are one of its strongest points, but also one of its major downfalls. Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth. I love "Death and Rebirth", I really do.
In my mind, it's probably the least flawed segment in the Evangelion franchise. But I guess I know why people are rating it so low. There are two reason people tend to give this movie a low score. The first reason is that this movie is split cleanly into two halves, and the first half, named "Death", is essentially a recap. I think most people just aren't as patient as I am and loathe recaps in general. The second reason people hated this is because of the second half, "Rebirth". There really isn't anything majorly wrong with "Death and Rebirth", the few complaints I have are all rather minor.
Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion. Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone. [NOTE: Mild SPOILERS in this review] I just got back from seeing Evangelion 1.0 in theaters, and it was some experience.
Though I didn't end up bringing the boom box playing a ripped CD of Prince's 1999 (and a bloody shame that is, too) it was still a real treat. The crowd was bigger than I had anticipated - I wondered if I might actually have the theater to myself, this being such a niche release and all, but it turns out I was dead wrong. While I wouldn't say every row was packed - it wasn't exactly a Transformers crowd (though one guy did have a Transformers T-shirt) - I would readily say that well over half the theater was filled out.
Incidentally, I also believe I was one of roughly half the audience that was present who had bathed within the last 24 hours, and of that I am proud. Well, first things first: It shouldn't be hard to tell from the trailers alone, but I can confirm that this movie is absolutely gorgeous. Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance. Every once in a while an anime movie comes along that redefines the word 'masterpiece'...
Ghost in the Shell, Spirited Away, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and so on. Evangelion 2.0 is no exception. It sets the bar even higher and presents you with one of the best movie experiences you will witness in a long time. If any anime movie were to approach the realm of perfection, it would be this one. While the first Rebuild of Evangelion movie followed the series quite closely, events are drastically changed in 2.0. The phrase 'too good for words' is often used so much that people have forgotten what it really means. The soundtrack was composed by Shiro Sagisu, who also provided the music for the original series and The End of Evangelion.
Evangelion 1.0 lacked a bit in the character department as the charismatic Asuka wasn't there to drive the movie along, and we were reacquainting ourselves with the other characters who, at that moment, weren't doing anything new. Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo. [Spoilers obviously] I saw Rebuild 3.0 about a month ago, and during that time I didn't think much of it.
It was just another movie in the series, and I didn't analyze it to any significant extent. The action was intense, the plot seemed interesting at the time, the animation quality was superb. Recently however (coinciding with the UTW BD subs release), there has been an influx of discussion posts about 3.0, and I figured that there had to be a reason for such a community reaction to the movie; there must be more to think about. So I went to re-watch the movie again with a bit more acuity and that's when I came to a conclusion: The movie was a huge cop-out. Evangelion 3.0 answered no questions.
A) Studio Khara wants us to ask a lot of questions and get curious so that we'll buy 4.0 b) Anno is trying to be clever and allow the viewers to emulate Shinji's confusion after 14 years in sleep by giving the viewers that same confusion.
