No no no. No one should ever watch the remakes. The OG show and End of Eva movie, while not perfect, are an extraordinary and focused (again, with a few exceptions and missteps along the way) artistic expression from a soul in pain trying to understand and work through their traumas, the kind of exercise that some of the best art comes from.

The remakes are nonsensical meta garbage about Anno (the artist in question) trying to leave behind this behemoth IP empire that accidentally created and desperately wants to be free of, to the point that he couldn’t even finish the damn things himself.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I truly regret the time I spent watching the remakes.
