Give me one thing from each rebuild that you liked.
1.0 - Operation Yashima felt a lot bigger and more impressive. 2.0 - Asuka is in it. Q - Kaworu and Shinjis’ bromance is way more believable. 3.0 + 1.0 - Misatos’ final charge was flying Baka bomb levels of badass.
I did think that the regressing animation backwards through the production process was kind of brilliant.

And Anno exacts his revenge against all the self insert and Mary Sue romance fanfiction authors he has dealt with for two decades by showing them how it feels.

The moment Mari plunged the knife into Asukas’ back.
No. You can’t have the guy we knew for a month 14 years ago. I’m getting the guy we knew for a month 14 years ago.
Don’t think you get any brownie points just because he murdered you.
Why don’t you go to Kensuke? You’ve been with him for what now? 14 years?
Sure they didn’t even put him in the last movie but he’ll, that kid from Game of thrones was written out of an entire season and they made him king.
My complete lack of character, relatability or meaningful arc, combined with the fact that we demonstrated no significant romantic chemistry in this entire series completely compliments his central and overarching narrative as the protagonist.
Mari ending up with Shinji bothers me 50 times more than Asuka ending up with Kensuke and I”m an Asukafag!
Never once in the entire series did Anno even bother to make me care or desire the two of them getting together.
Well, it’s Anno. Every time he makes Eva he has to disturb his audience on some level. If this trolling was intentional then Rebuilds are significantly more meta than people realize.
>1.0 - episodes 5&6 adaptation >2.0 - everything, perfect balance of old and new now properly retooled for the theater experience >Q - the score >3.0 + 1.0 - The village part and the epilogue
1.0 - decent 2.0 - pretty good 3.0 - crap 3.0+1.0 - good
>1.0 - Operation Yashima felt a lot bigger and more impressive. It felt like an 8yo's idea of what would be bigger and more impressive. Which is a problem across all Rebuilds.
