I used to hate the three pilots in the series, shinji was so annoying with his constant whine and wimpiness , asuka was my most hated character of all anime i ever watched with her stuck up bitch attitude and got no redeeming quality, and rei .....'meh , a blank white wall was much more interesting than her.

but after watching this , my view of them has changed drastically. Shinji finally do something for himself and become a determined young man , Asuka finally show her dere side and i like how they replace touji with asuka to pilot eva-03 , making the scene much more emotional , and rei finally show some emotion and it was her cute side on top of it. Those are the things i've been longing for at the series but it never came even after EoE. To make it much more amazing is how they still keep their trait from the series and only made a little change so the character don't feel like a different character from the series.

10/10 from me.

First of all, I love the HD graphics updated in the movie.
Second of all, I love how it was almost as if the directors were trying to get people to love Asuka. (Asuka's my favorite character eitherway)
It was nicely organized, and did fufill to my expectations.

I just hope Evangelion: 3.0 comes out sooner or later this year or next. Seeing Asuka with an eyepatch is epic.

when i first watched the series was when they came out with the dubs in america then i decided to watch it later with the subbed version i absolutely was blown away. now with part one and part two of the remakes i just can't put it as " good" or "epic" doesn't describe it well enough. i simply cant wait for 3.0 to come out i want to see where the story goes.

Man this movie was awesome, Evangelion was one of the first anime that I watched on TV and I love the original series but this movie has changed the only things that I did not like, I have no words to describe it...

9/10

Movie 3 come fast PLS!!!!!!!!

It was definitely better than the first movie .

graphics were really well done
but i hate the new asuka/rei and that new american girl ( tho better than toji)
was still a good film but a bit disappointing
7/10

These movies are so awesome! They are doing it very well to "rebuild." Loved every part of it. Waiting for the last two is going to kill my patients.

Kaoru just cockblocked shinji and rei, big time.

These films fix everything that was wrong with the anime for me. The characters firstly feel much more human than the original, shinji isn't near as annoying, Asuka's behaviour is much more understandable and Rei is an actually character rather than a plot device. Speaking of the plot, the changes made it alot more enjoyable, rather than everything being "explained" in the last 4-6 episodes like in the series, the plot is actually gradually building upon itself between the actions and character's dialogues. The movie is easily a 9/10 for me, if the OST was better it would have been a 10/10.

I have to say that generally I am happy that they decided for a less pholosophical and more action approach although knowing Anno it might only be a reason to do more of philosophical/religious/apocaliptical/technocratic bullshit in one of the next movies. I bet it was his idea to make Zeruel (after "devouring" the Eva) look like it looked, ehh.

Finally the characters seem more normal. I am glad that Asuka was less of a bitch, Rei seemed more talkative and caring and Shinji wasn't that much of an emo. I understand why they did that - there just wasn't enough time for a viewer to wait and think and it wouldn't fit the fast pace of a movie. The only noticable change in character which I didn't like was Gendo. I think I prefered the old Gendo. In case of Misato or Ritsuko I didn't notice any changes as they didn't have that much active screentime.

And Mari - in my opinion the whole Evangelion franchise or at least piloting crew lacked a character like her. Not some emo- schizo- or narciso-. I hope Anno won't "mess her up" with some tragic past, instability, disorder or any other issue his creative little mind can come up with. If he is going to do it I am hoping for making her a spy or someone like that and not "13th Angel which was contaminated by cybernetic viruses that fused with embryonic form of a future descendant of Shinji and Rei after they survived the 7th Impact by sending text messages to the future so someone could turn back in time to the past to stop their ancestors from preventing 3rd impact caused by Kaoru's conscience after he died from mental instability when he saw Asuka's spirit raping Rei after mercilesly torturing her mind with the images of her previous forms being sacrificed as a trigger to awaken Lilith from eternal sleep while he was urgently trying to force Shinji to copulate with Misato's crucified body to create a new form of existence in his dream within a dream." That I think I wouldn't like Mari to be. She is great as she is now.

lol that noise the spear made is burnt in my brains.

Finally saw this movie last month, and it was great, sometimes it even made me feel like watching TTGL (imagine that).

So yeah, the new twists and character depictions are awesome, but only because they're post End of Evangelion. If the original series were like that, it would just be another good yet cliché shounen, which would be unforgivable. Can't wait for the explanation of course. And can't wait to see armored Lilith to kick some Adam's ersatz butt.

I also wonder why people disliked the ost (I'm still not sure it's children singing), since it was almost like an End of Evangelion remake, but it had a new freshness with it since we get the tsubasa allusion through Misato and how the "new" second impact went down with 4 Seele kids instead of one Adam. Frankly, this is almost a loophole, since events in 2.22 are supposed to take place after EoE, this event possibly means the past changed, yet the series and EoE happened nevertheless. One way out of this would be that the 4 kids merged into one Adam, but I'm not sure what that would mean.

Also really liked the aquarium scene. They upgraded Pen Pen, they upgraded Zeruel, and looks like Mari will be eve more upgraded in 3.0. Only good news. Only flaw of the movie was Eva 02's teeth, they could have been better. Good job Anno.

Holy fuck 10/10. I love this god damn series. I feel that the movie had a much better flow since it got rid of most of the character development (good and bad at the same time). I like the new character. Though its a bit odd how she knew the eva's secret passcode or w/e it was to force its berserk. Yep 3.0 will probably be amazing. Can't wait.

I did not expect the Rebuilds to actually be a sequel. Oh well

I liked original anime more. Here i found too much fan service. And there is too much joy and happines, original was dark and depressing wich was cool. But the art and boobs were great.

Holy frick.
That was amazing.
To many things to list.
Can't wait for the 3rd.
Can't even begin to guess whats coming next.

For some reason this movie series became TTGL. I'll reserve judgement until the last two but it's not looking so hot now, can't help but think that it would be better if it was a new TV series so the writer wouldn't have to rush all the character interaction and development (plus making them overly simple versions of their former selves).

Makes me question what the point of these movies are...the first movie was just copy/paste the first 6 episodes excepted really abridged...and then he just suddenly changed the plot while still throwing in a lot of same scenes. But eh maybe due to Kaworu's last words it's more of a Sequel then a Rebuild, we shall have to wait and see.

I guess the main thing is, if the author is gonna rewrite the story..he should rewrite it from scratch.

I thought this movie was fantastic, and, for the most part, better than its anime counterparts. Asuka seems like she'll be more likeable and Rei actually has some sort of personality. Shinji is still as annoying as ever, but I guess that would be a bit more difficult to change.

I'm glad the author seems to have realized that the anime still had room for improvement.

I'm really looking forward to 3.0.

Really great movie. I think the many little changes helped make for better, more cohesive storytelling than in the tv series. One thing I especially loved about the movie was Rei. I was kind of apathetic towards her character in the series, but during the movie I found myself liking her a lot more because of her development in personality. Can't wait to watch the next movie.

it was much more enjoyable than the first movie
