Hmmm, I didn't catch that part at all. Maybe I should have rewatched the previous movies before watching the last one. I just don't get what part of the movies show that she remembers the previous worlds.

@Bartimaeus should get a medal for persevering until the end! Congrats! As for the movies, they did a lot to explain what was going on in the originals as far as the story goes, as far as the characters go it was mostly a rehash of the originals (minus she who shall not be named), although this time around he gave us some closure and didn't blueball the ending. Overall I much prefer this ending to what we got with NG:E, I would even go so far to say that I like it very much. I think it goes back to what KP was saying, these movies are made for the people who already watched the original series and so a lot of the character interactions have been skipped or have simply been sped through. Overall the focus was more on the "story" this time around. As for what the story is, this is how I understood it. The rebuild is the continuation of the original series. At some point after the ending of NG:E someone wished for a restart of the world, it's also hinted that this restart may have happened a couple of times with different variations of reality, ie. wishes being made that affect the world. Gendo's wish being that all barriers are removed and thus all beings become one (this was a theme in the original series too) so he can be with his wife again who is now part of the original Eva (and after the second movie part of Shinji?), so he tricked pretty much everyone from the beginning to make this scenario happen. Now to make this happen he needed the spears, ie. wishes. That is why he needed the impacts to happen as they provided the materials for the spears, ie. fuel for the wishes. The rest is I think pretty clear by the end of the last movie, Shinji mans up confronts his father and with the last spear wishes for the end of Eva and thus choosing to grow up and face the world on his own. As for the ending itself I think it's a comment on the real world being interesting enough without Giant robot battles and magic technology.

Hahahahahaha

I did warn you that it was an acid trip.

I would recommend finishing it, if for nothing else but to see what the point of rebuild was.

Yeah, sadly I agree. Although they did try.

I'm looking at what you linked and I simply don't see it that way. Maybe I'm jaded after all the crap I have seen, but it all seems like a combination of POVs and scenes that want to capture both characters.

Ok, I rewatched the scene @Bartimaeus is talking about. First off the scene follows her clenched fist which ends with her punching the glass. Second they are wearing plug suits which no matter where you pan the shot, is going to be awkward. Third let's not forget that this is from Shinji's POV and that he masturbated to Asuka in the hospital. As for the rest I'm waiting on you guys to finish the movies before joining the discussion. 😄

That's how it works.

The biggest issue with Civ like games, is the endgame. If someone figures out how to make that interesting they'll take the throne.

Strange, the app really should be QAed for LG... In fact that should be Amazon's primary testing environment. Guess money isn't everything...

Which brand TV do you use?

A while ago. along with the rest of the elite forum goers.

Isekai or virtual world? Both?

Yeah I would agree with that, it's not a complete experience without the original series.

I mean the last one I can think of is Redline and that was a commercial flop as it took ages to finish and get right. I think in the end they just dug too deep of a financial hole to climb out of, but from the looks of it Takeshi Koike paid the price. Which is a shame, as I would loved to see more from him.

I don't remember it being quiet, was it quiet for you too@KP the meanie zucchini? As for the animation, well 2d is very expensive nowadays... I mourn for the 2d hand drawn technique of old.

@KP the meanie zucchini Soooooooooooooooooooooo? 😄

@Gorth is this a reupload, I remember watching this a while ago, but can't remember if it was this one exactly.

Can't wait for you to watch it and hear what you thought of it. I'm trying very hard to hold off on saying anything.

It was 2 am when I finished it so, I wanted to sleep on it. Without going in to spoilers, the movie held me till the end, I didn't fast forward through any parts which is praise from me. As for if it's bad or good, at one point in the movie it was going in to bad category for me (or at least not good) as it really was just an acid trip and I had no idea what was going on, but then it started opening the plot and even offering explanations (almost as if someone came in and said they need to start explaining things from that point on). I personally liked the ending and I would say even the movie overall. It certainly was and Evangelion experience through and through. I'll spoiler the next part just in case At one point in the move yes, but it started going up after that and ended on a good note for me. I'm happy it's over, was perhaps a tad over-dramatic from me, but I meant it in a positive way and it was simply how I was feeling when the credits rolled in. The only big gripe I have is that I think the subtitles were not good.
