How did they fuck up rebuild so bad? Will they somehow redeem

We could just pretend 3.33 doesn't exist.

That doesn't change the fact that the other two exist and were nearly as bad. I'm just waiting for the "it was all a dream" reveal of 4.44 at this point.

what evangelion did back then was innovative for anime, what it is doing now is generic. it is being milked for money, and you cant experiment and do something interesting and milk at the same time. Reminds me alot of that fake movie in tropic thunder.

And even though I liked the show, its legacy is a catastrophic clusterfuck. It elevated Anno to some pseudo god status in eastern animation that was completely undeserved. its like someone threw one dart and it hit the bullseye and everyone calls him the master.

That's what it felt like. They introduced a bunch of random mainstream tropes and stuff that just dumbed it down for a mainstream audience.

The original show grants the crew that worked on a lot of deserved praise, though. The sense of art and sound direction is simply amazing as well as their ability to do more with less.

Sounds like someone is forgetting about Gunbuster

Prove me wrong, pro tip you can't

The first 20 episodes or so was good. Everything after that was fucking garbage.
