It's better than the Rebuild Saga, but I don't think that's really saying anything.
What's Rebuild?

The rebuilds are a series of 4 movies that do an alternate telling of Evangelion. About halfway through the second movie the story splits off from the TV series and goes in its own and completely different direction.

Especially movie 3.

YouTube


The OST is also miles better than the original.

Ooooh I should watch these

They're a bit divisive. Some people (like me) really like them, other people hate them for not being an exact retelling of the original show.

Greeeeat series for a lot of reasons. Ambiguous story, wtf moments, and easily impacted the anime genre as we know it.

You don't have to like it to understand the impact it has.





a second impact :^)

We got a movie for the anime ending. Why would you want an EXACT retelling of the same shit? Just so it looks better? That's retarded.

I see it like a VN where it's a different route, and for that I find it much much better. I'm not gonna waste 4 hours re-watching the same lines, plot points, and pacing all for the sake of better animation.

>Has giant fighting robots

Call me simple minded.
You'd probably love Gurren Lagann. It won't give you as many mindfucks as Evangelion and is probably more engaging to watch.

At least it was to me. Plus it has some of the best music you'd hear.

How the fuck do you remember that? I can't even remember that.

Spoiler
But seriously though I do love Gurren Lagann. It actually led to me and my girlfriend meeting due to our interest in it so it has a special place in my heart.

Excuse me, I'm full of dog poison
Easily one of my favorite anime.

I'm a sucker for ambiguous plots and whiny children getting fucked over.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
I don't dislike Rebuild because it's different, I just hate the pacing. It's more action oriented than thematic.
