Synopsis

"The Bandai Channel website announced that Petit Eva ~Evangelion@School~, the "first official super-deformed series" based on Neon Genesis Evangelion, will be adapted for video. The official announcement will be made in the September issue (on sale August 10) of Newtype magazine in Japan. The Gainax/Khara franchise spinoff spoofs the psychological science fiction drama by reimagining the characters as classmates in Tokyo-3's Nerv School, headed by Principal Gendō Ikari and Misato-sensei. The student body includes three different Rei "sisters," the EVA-01 mobile weapon reimagined as the school bully Evanchō, and the ill-fated Jet Alone robot as JA-ko, a "hidden character" in the form of a shy android girl.

Ryuusuke Hamamoto created the character designs which has inspired four-panel gag manga serializations in four different magazines: Monthly Shōnen Ace, Newtype, Dengeki Hobby Magazine, and Figure Oh. The Petit Eva project has also developed merchandising from super-deformed figurines to limited edition Doritos corn chips."

Needless to say, Petit Eva: Evangelion@School defined my personality and changed my life. Before I watched this anime, I really didn't know what living was really like, but Hideaki Anno's masterful work on this anime really allowed me to understand myself and the world around me in much better ways and has left me with infinite questions after watching about psychology and the spirit.

Story: 10

The story is near the bible-tier quality of story-telling and masterful world-building. Episode 1 started the anime off strong, showcasing the duality of man versus machine. While man must eat food to survive, machines must eat batteries, and life must prosper ... as such. Philosophical questions such as these continue into the anime's runtime, and I really started to ponder the nature of the human experience thanks to this series. When Shinji, our reluctant but brave protagonist gets a massive load of crap dumped on him, it was actually a metaphor for creation of man, and how god rested on the 7th day, declared sunday. Needless to say, this is a masterpiece in storytelling.

Art: 10

The mix of traditional hand-drawn backgrounds combined with modern, gorgeous CGI animation makes this anime a real treat to the eyes. The combat between Gendo and Misato was something that I could've never imagined being as beautiful as it is. For this review, I tried hard not to compare this masterpiece to the filth that is Neon Genesis Evangelion but, it's a simple fact that animation on the berserker mode on Unit 01 in this anime is unbelievably just jaw-dropping compared to the stinky trash that is Neon Genesis's "beserk" interpretation. Clearly, Hideaki Anno knew what he was doing.

Sound: 10

From the very minute I heard the opening theme song, I knew that I was soon to be immersed in a world of auditory pleasure. The sound design in this beautiful anime is just amazing. It really makes me feel like I'm actually there, inside Unit 01 while he's cleaning the floors. The audio is unbelievable, and this extends to the voice acting. The VA is able to break the language barrier, and I can confidently say that I watched this anime without subtitles and still understood everything that they were trying to convey with no Japanese knowledge. The dedication of the EVA voice actors in this anime was incredible.

Character: 10

Oh my god. I don't even know where to start. Asuka's character is the deepest in this show by far, but the other 3 rei characters also get extremely deep character development. This is yet another example of how this anime really beats out Neon Genesis in every way. Shinji by far proved to really redeem himself in this anime. Although in the original, disgusting filth that's known as Neon Genesis, Shinji acts like a whiney little kid, in this anime Shinji has really redeemed himself, and although he has a bad past, he's moved beyond and it really accepts who he is. It's also shown that Shinji is a real puller of women now, something that I think really fit his character. As seen in the biking episode, Shinji is able to get both Rei AND Unit 01 (who is, in the canon, technically a woman) to ride on his bike with him. This is redemption to who he is, and a beautiful sign of what's to come.

Enjoyment: 10

Watching this anime really brought me closer to god. I can't say anything other than Petit Eva: Evangelion@School could be better because this anime really represents how I truly feel, and will always be an inspiration for me in my future projects. I hope to go into the anime industry producing a masterpiece someday like this anime.

Overall: 10

Absolutely stunning.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (7/24 eps)

It's very hard to even begin to describe this series since it's so bizarre and random. Each episode consists of a stand-alone skit that involving various characters in scenes and events that are modeled after the alternate reality Shinji is shown at the end of Neon Genesis Evangelion. All of the episodes parody some aspect of the franchise, such as the characters, and derive humor by putting Evagelion characters in situations so different than normal (for them, anyway).

Since the plots vary so much between episodes, and the show is entirely dependent on humor, it should be no surprise that the quality varies tremendously between episodes. ...

I mean I hate Evangelion already as many of you “lovely” people out there know and have responded with such “lovely” words in a manner befitting a human. So colour me surprised that this exists to basically just reinforce my justified hatred of the series. Why does it exist? No reason. Does it need to exist? No. Do I like it for existing? Yes. Why? It pissed off the fans who made my life a misery for many years and revenge is just sweet. I can rest easy knowing Anno has left this franchise far behind him to focus on bigger and better efforts, seriously, ...
