What even is NGE?
I watched a little of this series and my conclusion is it was made by someone with severe writers block who woke up on a farm after a bender and took a half-eaten bible from a goat and decided to use it as source material for what was originally a fairly standard mecha show

Peak cinema, actually.
End of Evangelion is a great film, but not as someones first Evangelion film. I call it the “angry” film, whereas 3.0+1.0 is the “accepting” film. EoE felt like Anno was frustrated with Evas audience (because he was lol), and 3.0+1.0 feels like he has finally accepted the situation.

You don’t start a movie with an 8 minute uninterrupted scene where the audience surrogate masturbates to completion over a comatose girl without having something to say. To paraphrase Folding Human.

I mean, they included images of vandalism on the Gainax offices and various death threats they receieved in the live-action part of the film, so its clear Anno and Gainax weren’t exactly happy with how the audience was treating them. Rightfully so, IMO.

Not with that attitude.
