NGE rebuilds

They're better than the original series and EoE. They're basically what Eva should have been to begin with.

I don't like Mari but the art is nice I guess. Don't hold your breath for 3.0 + 1.0

Wrong

>>142778126
They're good for what they are, cinematic throwaways. Get some snacks and watch them.

With that being said, 2.22 is one of my favorite films period and honestly one of the best anime films if you look at it AS ITS OWN THING. You'll see from this thread many eva fans are incapable of doing so.

thanks for the insight, i think i might give them a try, even if only for a better animation/colors of the old anime scenes

>>142778126
the movies are all pretty good and worth the watch if you like evangelion. though the movies failed to impress me as much as EoE, especially after everyone hypes up 2.0 so fucking much.

>>142779629
>one of the best anime films if you look at it AS ITS OWN THING
So a poorly directed, poorly structured splosh of nonsensical plot points with terrible character art/animation, shitty CG fights with overdone composite that obscure any trace of good animation and characters on the level of Infinite Stratos?

It's not like you can look at it as its own thing anyway. It's part of a continuity which itself started as a 1:1 remake of an older property. It necessarily invites comparison. It can't stand as its own thing. This is made clear by how they bend over backwards to retread all the key parts of the TV series despite that structure not being well-suited for a feature film.

>>142778126
If you want more anno style character developement watch Shiki Jitsu. It's like a live action therapy session for Asuka.

As a dumb blockbuster 2.22 is great. But otherwise they just feel so dumb compared to the originals.

They're basically the decaf version of NGE, if you already watched the original series you could watch the Rebuild for a lighter experience

>>142780544
If you feel that way then it's okay. I think it was fantastically directed.

>>142779629
Everyone agrees that the Rebuilds are ok movies.
NGE being so much better just makes the Rebuilds flaws so obvious.

>>142781238
NGE has aged really well, if you watch the Rebuilds first you are making a mistake.
It's like watching Star Wars episode 1-3 before watching 4-6.

>>142781364
I think the fight against the angel falling from the sky was really cool (mostly because of the music), but it was fucking retarded how 01 was running along those path NERV build. It looks cool but it's fucking retarded.
I can see why someone would like it, it builds up more tension, but I think it's dumb.

>>142782202
Everything about it is dumb. When the thing literally becomes Gurren Lagann at the end? I mean it's not like NGE was all about that kinda shit not being reality and the mechs being completely out of the pilots' and scientists' depth or something

"What if Shinji grew a pair?" : the movie.

>>142782588
"What if we removed everything interesting about EVA"

The elevator scene is the biggest symbol of how much of a disgrace 2.0 is compared to TV

>>142778126
Rebuild is for people who hated NGE

>>142782202
I watched 1-3 before 4-6, it wasn't THAT bad

There all good movies just not that good "evengelion" movies.

>>142782588
The revamp of Evangelion is more of a fanfic than a movie adaptation

Its not a remake nor is it a spiritual successor - much of what made NGE is gone in order to not alienate the larger audience

its still fun thou

People like you make me Schick

I like Rebuild in that 2.0 was essentially for that guy that said Shinji is a bitch. It's a companion piece that addresses a very common complain about the series. and then 3.0 explains why turning into Gurren Lagann doesn't actually solve your problems either. Just as you can't run away from your problems, you can't bash your head into a brick wall and make things work either.
Also some minor things are neat in how they call back or relate to the anime.
Like Shinji's tantrum after the Eva 03 incident seems to be reminiscent of the sandbox scene. Also how the Piano makes such a good contrast to Shinji's Cello experience.
But yes it is not anywhere near as good as the television anime.
I may just be biased though as it's nice to have some mystery still as to what is going on.Especially with Mari who figuratively seems to be the representation of fans intervening in the series, and story wise I still think is working for Gendo's plan

It all comes tumbling down come 3.0 and who knows what ending Anno has in mind?

No.

The first two aren't bad but dear lord did the third one sink the entire series.

bait

I think that in the context of the over all series, 2.0 showed that no matter how much we attempt to become better people, that we're all doomed to failure. At the end of the day, you're the same person you started out as, and trying to grow beyond that is futile. It's better to accept yourself as who you are rather than trying to change and inevitably failing. It's a very nihilistic, but powerful message from Anno.

>>142779629
yeah pretty much.

However dont expect to be blown away like the original thought. This stuff is mostly fan service.

Only thing I hated the most in the rebuilds is the GOD AWFUL CGI.

>>142778126
Would've been a better NGE if 3.0 didn't fuck all the Rebuild continuity up.

>>142795701
No, that's the genius of it all. 3.0 is so different because it's a refutation for the previous Rebuild movies.

I love the music in 2.0 and the action scenes are good too. I like that movie the same way >>142779629 does.

However the original is clearly superior in almost every single way.

EoE is a masterpiece.

And 3.0 is the biggest turd i have ever sniffed.

>>142795768
Yeah, I get that it's supposed to be original and its own standalone from the original show, but the whole premise was ... weird ?
>Save friend
>Cause 3rd Impact
Because that made so much sense that everyone hates Shinji.

>>142782202

You're right, it's not ok. It's fantastic.

Of course it didn't, it wasn't supposed to.

>>142797379
then what was the purpose of your post?

>>142797474
So you'd figure that proclaiming to be a newfag wasn't important to your post in any way at all.

>posting on a website founded and run by Asukafags

>>142797645
Why the plural ? M00t was the only relevant Asukafag, and now he's been replaced by Hirohito anyways.

1.0 is pretty much a recap with a higher budget and some triming.

2.0 was fun in its own way and had a lot of really interesting plot stuff happening

3.0 threw all the potential 2.0 had out the window and was mediocre at best

3.0 has made me dislike 2.0 because all the mystery and speculation it had that made it interesting was made into shit by 3.0.

Now we wait for 4.0 to redeem (not likely) the rebuilds or continue being trash in comparison to NGE.

>>142797612
Why? Does it frustrate you?

In Hiroshima's Q&A when he started he chose Asuka. I don't have the screencap

i was saying that im a newfag because i wanted to show that im not watching through rose tinted glasses, but instead gave a objective opinion on that matter.

also i said i was a newfag to awake interest in other users who want to talk to someone who has just experience the full package

youre stupid

>>142797836
Preferring Asuka over two other characters doesn't make you an Asukafag

>>142797911
I was shitposting, sorry

>>142797838
Way to try and sound deep and interesting, but you could try making a little more sense. Being a newfaggot is just as relevant as saying "I just watched Eva and my nails grew 0.32 inches since I last trimmed them".

>>142797836
Oh, come on, Littleboy answered randomly to plenty of things he never even heard of.

>>142798466
To be fair, he gave actual reasons why he preferred Asuka. Granted, they were stupid reasons, but still he's obviously at least somewhat familiar with Eva
