Themaster: What they should do is a Godzilla vs. Gamera movie already. Instead, we'll probably get another otaku crapfest like the live-action Cutie Honey.

Anyone who's sat through the last two episodes of the show?

Touché.
But at least those episodes were somewhat substantive, if abstract. Which is more than I can say of Rebuild 3.33.

The last several Godzilla films were declining in viewership, that's why they mothballed it, so maybe a change of pace like this is what it takes to give it a shot in the arm in Japan.

That and the 2014 movie.

Not really a Godzilla fan but I will definitely watch this just to see what Anno comes up with.

Real ambitious. A film where nothing happens that completely derails the momentum of the series. |
Sigh.....I was gonna ignore this, but might as well say a couple things. As GATSU said, people are reacting to 3.33 like they've watched eps 25 and 26 for the first time. The timeskip is basically like ep 25-26 again. 3.33 is about what the characters are doing after the aftermath of Third Impact. The complaints about Shinji and Kaworu playing the piano, it depends on whether you think it's a good way of showing character bonding. And as for no character development, Eva has never had linear development, where the characters keep growing and growing. In NGE/EoE there are plenty of times where Shinji gains confidence but then setbacks occur that make him regress.

ALL ABROAD THE FUN TRAIN. |
Unlike the US Legendary Pictures Fun Express we had, at least Godzilla will be IN it for longer than 20 minutes.

@CoreSignal Ep 25-26 / End /manga ending = Good.
3,33 = Boring + WTF? 4,44 could be a crazy ride indeed.

Agreed. The ending(s) for the tv/movie/manga are all great in their own way. As for 3.33, I personally thought it was an "interesting", experimental movie. I would argue that it's more interesting than 1.11 in some ways. Obviously, many hate 3.33, it's just that I don't think it's as bad as some people say it is. Btw, like most people, 2.22 is my favorite Rebuild movie so far. Anyway, bring on 4.0/4.44!

My scores are: Evangelion: 1.0 = Excellent, Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance = Masterpiece and Evangelion: 3.0 = So-so as it´s only a mistake and not devoid of value.
To get how i rate to compare: The Berserk movies start with So-so and then go down to Weak by movie 3 as they are a disgrace. Score: 8.3 my ass! Thank God-Hand these flopped.
The US Godzilla re-boot is a Decent for all the popular reasons to criticise it aka the wrong lead + no fights on Screen. The 90s one is full of rotten fish.
