| Damn damn damn. Anyways... Fanboy mode : ON Movie was damn PERFECT for me. Loved it so much. 1) Mari was epic win. I wanna see more of her. Sakamoto Maya did a splendid job. 2) Asuka <3 Loved her Tsun behavior and her classical line :p 3) Rei learning to cook!! Sweet! Fights were amazing. Music was awesome too. I think they used Kare Kanos music at the "happy moments". I'm not sure can anyone confirm this? Also they used Higurashis no naku koro ni sounds too. I noticed at least 2 parts were it was exact same sounds as the higurashi game :p The ending was a AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA cliffhanger! I just can't guess what gonna happen really :/ PS> Am i the only one that fucking jumped out of the bed and almost screamed when Asuka "died"?!?! I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. DONT KILL HER TT :/ Glad to see shes alive even in a terribly state. |

| EPIC. Just simply epic. Haven't been wating for nothing all this time. The last fight was one of the most if not the most amazing things I've ever seen, seriously GAINAX + Hideaki is just the most god-like combination ever.The song at the end was really awesome too. (though I first thought:"WTF K-ON?!!") This is definetely the best of this year. |
| O M F G I Think this is the most EPIC thing of the 2010. Simply EPIC. The first half consist of a little bit of Mari's introduction. Pretty much many things different here. I see Asuka, Rei and Gendou show a little bit of their warmer side here. But then the second half come ruins everyhing (obviously, nice things never happend in eva series). First the berserk scene with the dummy plug in eva 01 almost killed Asuka, then their dinner get canceled. After that Rei get absobed by the tenth angel, and the last, the third impact is coming, seriously, Anno realy mindblowned me. The music and BGMs really nailed it too. The rearranged old BGM combined with some new ones and slow songs on EPIC moment (only Eva could put slow child singing into a gore scene EPIC). The story development that differ from the original series also fuckin'ly awesome. I'm seriously speechless, this is a masterpiece. Now it's time to eagerly wait for the 3.0 |

| BD is a whole lot more intense and ;_; too. Don't think I can rate this a 10 though, because of what happened to Asuka. Everything else was freaking epic, the psycho stuff is great. |

| Blu Ray win ahead. I noticed so many more details. Simply awesome. Such as:  Haruko's Vespa having a guest appearance. Also, have some HD Mari  |

| Hah, nice catch with Haruko's vespa. Want to play a guessing game for the weekly sales of 2.22 in Japan? I'll go for 600,000 BluRay and 400,000 DVD. |
peroxid said: By the way, I don't see this as being Neon Genesis Evangelion, this is Rebuild of Evangelion, so I'm not pissed off that the story is different. I'm even happy that it changed, because to see the original, I'll see the series. You might also want to take a look at this; Although it is advertised as a reimagining, there are some subtle hints that point to the Rebuild tetralogy being a sequel to the series and The End of Evangelion. |

"okay... this is the second time..? wait... I already wondered why the sea was red this is.. OMG HE IS TROLLIN'!!!!!!!!!!!!" I don't like maki that much, don't get me wrong, I just found maayas voice that unfamiliar in the movie and I am still waiting to find out what her exact role is. ... well, yeah, it was epic. and so tense. I really liked the contrast music scenes, especially the first one ;_; |
 |
| EPIC!!! I was so angry, when dummy plug killed Watch credits! There is something at the last 15 seconds of the movie. :) |
| I am SO glad I waited for the BR rip. That was fucking awesome from beginning to end. The last action sequence was just an endless stream of fist pumps. When Asuka's plug got chomped I literally got goosebumps. Absolutely stunning. |

yorar said: Asuka. I hope to see her in third movie. Yarr, pirate eyepatch girl in the preview.... yarrr ;] |

And this is why he's my favorite troll ever!!! |
| Alright, I've only started watching NGE so I'm not far but as for the movie, I just finished the 2nd one... So... im assuming.... |
| Asuka did not die. Watch after the credits roll for a trailer for 3.0 |
| omg... that was epic!!!!!! def cant wait for Q. |
 |
| wow that truly blew my mind I know that my balls will probably be chopped off and fed to rabid squirrels but I think that this movie is far better than the original series on the count of it's head is only slightly up its own anus and the fights just got +5 for epicness thanks to updated Eva design and other +factors one thing though the songs for the battle scenes honestly scared the shit out of me. no seriously that stuff was creepy |
いいですね オタクの事 |
| I had to wait nearly a year to see this, but I loved it all the same. This is how Evangelion is SUPPOSED to be. (I vaguely remember saying something to that effect for the first one, too...) I want these on DVD in the States. NOW. |
 |
| Simply amazing the second time around. I'm wondering who piloted unit 04 and if there are anymore new (new) pilots other than Mari? |

J3N0V4 said: I know that my balls will probably be chopped off and fed to rabid squirrels but I think that this movie is far better than the original series I'm sure a lot of people would agree with that, and although I am not going to compare the two just yet as half of the Rebuild tetralogy still hasn't been released, I am also inclined to agree. It's just like ANN said; "What Evangelion 2.0 brings to the table is far more than a retelling; it features an overarching maturity that was missing in the original. Gone is the hysterical self-loathing, the navel-gazing, the relentless self-defeat in even its narrative structure, and most of the confusing and problematic Judeo-Christian symbolism. (The angels, though familiar looking, aren't even named anymore.) The story that's left is told calmly, with measured pacing and an even-handedness that's unexpected to those familiar with the original. In doing so, it reveals flaws in the original that likely never occured to the viewer initially, but are easy to spot now that they're gone. It's far too early to tell for sure, but at this point it's entirely possible that Rebuild of Evangelion will emerge as the stronger work. Fans worried that Anno's steadier hand may no longer lead us to dark and horrible places have worried for nothing. He is clearly a more mature man now, so this work features a grounded, deep-seeded anger for the world, for society, for people and their failings that is distinctly new to the franchise, rather than the adolescent angst and self-doubt the original wallowed in. Evangelion 2.0 feels as though the project has been put on mood stabilizers: it's not any happier, but it's more stable and certainly more focused." So far the Rebuild movies are definitely more well-rounded than the original series. Anno has surprised new and old fans alike and I think he will continue to do so. |

MrGerbz said: Man I was stunned and also shout out loud.About Asuka: EDIT: By the way, I enjoyed the movie very much, can definitely understand the awesome reviews about it now. I think this is more deep and action pack than EVA 1.01. Perfect 10 for me. |

All of those things are what made the original series what it is today, but if they were included in Rebuild it would no longer be a reimagining, but more like a frame for frame remake with better animation. If one wants to experience the navel-gazing and self-hatred, one could just revisist the series. Rebuild offers us a different perspective because the series is already perfect as it is. |
| I guess I'll have to wait for the 720p release, since I can't run 1080p without lag :'C *sob* |
| Holy shit.. that was amazing.. shit. I'm gonna rewatch this... now. |
| This movie was brilliantly done, a masterpiece in its highest form. 9001/10. IT'S OVER 9000!! Can't fucking wait for the next movie! |
 |
| its way too convenient the original is better |
 |
| Vast improvement over the original and much better than the Rebuild 1.0. Thank god they took out most of the retarded emofest. I think they should've showed Mari more and flesh her out a bit but I guess there's still 2 movies to do so. It just feels a little forced for her to suddenly show up though to commandeer 02. |
 |
| 10/10 easily It took the good parts from the anime and added even more good parts to them while still maintaining a similar yet different storyline. I feel like it's what the original could have been if they actually had a real budget. |
| Ok™ |
| The remodelling of the angels were quite well done, especially Sahaquiel and that the city got flooded with its blood afterwards. I found the school choir song during the slaughter to be comical.. Rei showing emotion. The world must have ended, waitaminute... it did... Nonetheless, it added to Rei's charm. The upgraded Seele insignia looks a little more intimidating. |
| Sore wa himitsu desu. |
| Good thing I could barely remember anything from the series for the epic impact of this movie. The many new scenes, extra character and different plot changes really surprised me. However, I expected a little more Mari. Best movie I have watched in a long time. 9/10. Well, I'm still waiting for Disappearance on DVD. |
| The music was kind out of place in the Dummy System activation. An I really like the desperation of Shinji helplessly watching the angel/eva getting devastated. The other problem is that the story felt a little rushed.. |
| Considering the span was episodes 7-20 or so, it only feeling a "little" rushed is pretty dang impressive. |

| Holy shit, my mind just got blown. Also Unit 08 looks sick. I wish they developed Asuka more though, she kinda was sidelined this time around. |

| the story did feel a bit rushed but it was great..I agree that there were times when the music was out of place...but the movie was amazing-I did expect Maki and Asuka to take more screen time-and while everyone says that Asuka showed more feeling in this version(well...she did but not too much change),she and Shinji made less progress in the movie than they did in the tv series..as for Rei I think she's the one who changed the most...given that I like Asuka more than Rei I hope Asuka will play a bigger role in the next movie(s)...I have the feeling that the movie was less dramatic than the tv series(it might be just me though) :) now...only 3-4 more years to wait for 3.0 and only 1 for Fate UBW and Haruhi(though nothing will be as good as this-maybe 3.0 or 4.0) It might be just me...but I think Asuka's voice is kind of different...:)) it might be the time gap or just the fact that she is not so against Shinji in the movie as she is in the tv series |

| poor asuka |
  |
| Just finished re-watching this... What can i say damn it felt like the the first time. So awesome :3 |
|
| I've never thought I would say that. But I like the movies more than the series. |
 |
| OH! That was bloody awesome. Several times i was struck by the pure amazement. |
 |
| This movie was absolutely fantastic!! This is coming from someone who hasn't watched past episode 4 of the origional series. |
