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
Sush. Don’t say things like that or they’ll make the characters in anine explain their every single thought or decision, even in mid battle.

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.
