Ill start off by saying that I havent watched all of this Ive watched probably about the first 20min or so when I first got a copy just to see what it was like, I plan to collect and marathon once the other movies are released. Its probably not wise to come to a conclusion just yet but Ill do it anyway. Im grateful for the updated artwork its looks very 'pretty' but thats about all.

Im watching this in English like I did the original series and it seems like they have changed some of the voice actors for whatever reason, even those who are the same don't all sound the same as they used to and in some cases its as if the actors weren't trying hard enough they're voices lack the emotion they originally had. One of my favorite parts in the original series was evas sounds (mad raw in particular) during the first time it went berserk, it sounded just stupid in the movie.

Ive been told that shinji is meant to be more assertive in this series which if true hallelujah, I think I'm not alone when I say i wanted to climb through my monitor and bitch slap the original shinji even if his behavior might have been justified in some scenarios.

People have told me and I have seen (ie mari) that plot changes have been made which may be good if its interesting (its like reading a new story) but what I really wanted to see was the original plot again just with all the confusing shit (eg EoE) cleared up.

I cant tell something about the voices since I watched the japanese version(although my first Evangelion anime was the Death and Rebirth recap in English) but about the changes in the plot later...The plot changes a bit atand later changes even more at where all the new/changed stuff start to appear along with...cant believe I am saying this...

So it is pretty much the same story WITHOUT the confusing shit.

Just watched 1.11 and I liked it so much more than the show. Beautiful eye candy aside, Shinji's constant self-loathing is what kills the show for me. So glad they edited his bitching as much as they did.

Because EVA's have AT fields, and if they can cancel out the angel's AT field they will actually hit the angel instead of rebounding off it (as it occured when they fought Matariel). Now whether they do any damage depends on the angel's defense. Most angels would take some damage from it if their AT fields are not active- the obvious exception to this is Zeruel as he was not even scratched after EVA unit 00 managed to get thru it's AT field and detonate an N2 mine on it.

It's very good.
But, I shouldn't have watching it right after I finished marathoning the main series a couple of days ago.

8/10

Heads up. This is on TV in the U.S. right now. I love seeing this on my TV guide screen:

I love how this movie is trending on twitter.

Totally gonna watch this in a half hour when it airs on the west coast, even though I have a 1080p rip on my PC.

What..., what..., whatttt.. *¬* I really don't know what to say. My mind is melting. That was perfect... and that eva shout.... that first fight. I really dont like rewatch anime, but if knew that had been so good, I'm sure had watched it before.

Damn that's so good. Like someone said, I like this also more than the TV series. Also, that 6th angel is damn cool.

8/10.

Nothing special, just a lazy summary. The visuals seem TV quality. I expected more of it. At least the CGI looks good (even though I HATE CGI cars). The pacing was just ridiculous. Some parts were so fast that Shinji changed his opinion every 5minutes. I don't remember the show that well as I've seen it long time ago, but this movie seems to be nearly identical, with few changes here and there (most in the second half). It's just that it feels lazy. If the other movies are different, why not make the first one different too?

Hopefully the next movie's good, as it goes a different route than the TV show. 5/10

Once you get to 3.33....Yep.

i dont understand the story in this movie.. as always, i cant like any mecha anime, kinda bored, but the action was fine. so 7/10.

Just finished watching this movie

Evangelion 1.0 Movie Thoughts:

WOW, that was awesome what they did for EVA series overall. Final part was most touching and it even gave some new scenes like Kaworu speaking with SEELE, and Shinji discovering Lilith these didn't happen in actual Tv-series. Movie pacing was OK considering they meant to make recap movie overall with little changes.
