Truly my favorite part of Rebuild:

I think that ultimately my favorite part is the extended Shinji depression (and re-entry into the world) in the last movie, because it's probably a better illustration of how coping with grief looks and feels like than going to HIP therapy or turning the world into orange liquid.

(The joke was that this "scene" is part of the preview for the next episode, but what they thought was going to be in the next Rebuild film kept wildly changing so all the stuff that appeared in those previews never actually happened, so that picture is just nonsense.)

IIRC, @majestic's favorite bit was the tea party(?) Rei threw in the second Rebuild film, while my favorite bit...was when it was over. Okay, not including that, and not including the funny misleading/erroneous previews, my favorite part was when they were all just chilling in that post-apocalypse village in...I think the fourth film - it didn't even feel like I was really watching Evangelion during that section, which was a welcome reprieve from everything before and after. Just a sudden departure to a totally different tone and style, no yelling and screaming or seizure-inducing animation. So my favorite part might also be your favorite part based on what you said, though I'm not 100% sure because I'm not sure if that section happened in the third or the fourth movie.

I seem to have a thing for tea parties, huh? The tea party in Noir was my favorite bit of the series too.

That was a really good scene, at least until Rei just dissolved into goo to drive home a point which retroactively ruined it for me.

Watched the NieR Automata anime. Actually wasn't that bad, but at some point the story got so confusing, I kinda checked out.

Well, it's a lot less sexual than I expected it to be. Of course they can't help themselves and have to add a bunch of scenes where the camera slips under the skirt. Also beach episode, because yes.

Still think it could be a lot worse.

Note: I never played the game(s) and know nothing more about it. Was lol when they explained the blindfolds are actually "special visors" ... yeah, right.

Story is pretty generic 2010-ish, I guess.

At some point of course there will be zombies, then good and bad is flipped, etc. etc. same same.

The key with Rebuild is to just repress your traumatic memories: that way, you'll remember...maybe only 5% of it.

The game has an achievement that triggers if you look up 2B's skirt by creative camera movement. It is not enough to just do it once. They don't want the achievement to trigger on accident.
