That was dark.

I wouldn't mind watching a spin-off series about normal citizens of Tokyo-3.

The scenery was so beautiful, and I liked the character designs. So I guess their dream of going to the same high school and continuing their gig will not happen. It went from sort of sad to anticipation for reunion to upbeat to grim...

Oh my. Well, the background art was really neat. Not a fan of CGI at all, but this one looks quite different, it's more fluent.

CGI for characters is a no go for me. Ugh, it just doesn't feel right.
Some things like Expelled from Paradise worked out because of the excellent quality but this one was "meh".
K-On! meets Eva. Nice ending though. Hehe.

It's weird seeing those modern moe character designs in the Eva school uniforms.

The CGI characters blended well against the background, but they were kind of stiff and flat, like they were dolls. Disliked the effect.

Nice backgrounds...

Otherwise, what a piece of crap! Oh gawd I hate this sort of crap trying to bring pathos in by using moe girls, and worse in this case, a moe girl band whining some horrifically bad song.

All the way through I was hoping that the girls would suddenly be squished by an Angel, a la "Bambi vs Godzilla".

Me before watching: Expecting an Evangelion related short.

While watching: What... This has nothing to do with Evangelion at all...

Near the end: Oh...

Nice background. Not really a fan of the CGI characters though I think they did a pretty good job for a short.

Same here. I've always kind of wondered what normal people living in that city thought about all the things going on there.

Anyway,

"Let's kiss."
wat?

Wasn't expecting that. That was overall pretty depressing, especially the end. Poor Haruka left all on her own.

Well...

The backgrounds are great, and the CGI is nice too, though the heads look a bit too big in my opinion.
I actually liked the song. I was surprised to see buzzG's name, but it's good to see more Vocalo-P involved in anime.

The thing is, I don't see the point in connecting the story with the NGE universe, especially since it doesn't fit well with overly cute girls. The kiss felt very sudden and a bit unnatural somehow too.

This short gave me mixed feelings, though,

Saw the title "Neon Genesis Impacts" and hoped it would be something on how ordinary people's lives were impacted by the Angel battles.

It was, I guess. Liked the bit at the end.

Great job Anno, this is how you save the anime industry, by recycling your old ideas and pandering to Otaku.

I was expecting gigantic mecha battles, but it's Dio!
+1 for the kiss!
feeling nostalgic about those school uniforms.
the twist was good. as expected of Eva. I would like a female Shinji though. Fits the character a lot especially when sitting like that.

The "Moe" looking faces were kinda weird.
Other than that, the visuals, the backgrounds, the song even were really cool.
Wouldnt actually be a bad idea to have a spin-off with regular citizens, what they're going through when NGE started. (as we hardly see any during NGE itself)

Interesting to see some other kids of Tokyo3.

The ending was really hard to watch... knowing exactly what was going on. It delivered the feels and I am now crying.

Amazing episode.

Didn't care much for this one.
Lame story, poor character design.
And that song's lyrics were just depressing.

Was that CG? There's something a bit jittery about the characters' movements, but visually, it looks really nice. Kind of reminds me of Psychic School Wars in terms of how much it uses glares, lights and flares. That aside, I'm not sure what I expected from a short named "Neon Genesis Impacts," but...I didn't get it? A couple of high school girls doing a music video tribute to Evangelion by putting themselves amidst one of the fights? Feels like I'm missing something here.

The art was breathtaking, and the plot so sad that my eyes teared up.
Interesting to see something along the lines of a spin-off of the citizens of Tokyo 3.

She said yes.
Dat kiss!
Dat song. Sounds like it could be for FLCL.
Dat ending.

Looked nice.

That 3D CG did a good job of blending in with the background to make it not look too artificial. After that little yuri moment, I had my hopes up only for my mood to make a depressing 180 at the end. It's NGE...I could've expected it.
