| 2.22 was a train wreck storywise. The Rebuilds are fun distractions. If you couldn't realize that from 2.22, then I've got some bad news for you. I have yet to see 3.0 so I don't know whether or not the series has yet redeemed itself. And even if it hasn't, I can't yet pass a full judgment because I have yet to see 4.44 |
| It wasn't a trainwreck. It had flaws, but it wasn't a trainwreck. Just very hard to swallow... for some. My thought is that anyone who loved the original TV series will like 3.0, and people who only liked the Rebuild series will dislike 3.0. Then there are the Shinji haters who will also probably hate 3.0. And people who wants clear exposition and answers will also probably hate 3.0. So, it's a bigger chance for someone to hate it, than like it. But what most people seem to forget is that 3.0 was originally supposed to be a prologue to Final (and still is in some way). My guess is that this is like the first season of Higurashi; in the sense that it builds up questions, but never answers them, whilst Kai (or Final in this case) is instead the holder of answers. Besides, why would you not watch the thing that will more than likely answer all the questions 3.0 brought? That's like saying "This was confusing and I want answers! But I don't want to recieve the answers!" But, to each his own, I guess. |
| I'm a douche. Deal with it. |
| 3.0, to my surprise, was actually better than 2.0 and definetely better than I expected. Maybe it's because I was not ready to heavy changes they made in 2.0, after 1.0 was almost completely a remake. In 3.0 however, I was already prepared for the worst, and it actually went better than I expected, the return of mysteries and puzzles gave 3.0 an original series vibe; I find myself fanwanking again, just like in the old times, that was good feeling, unlike the bitter dissapointment after watching a pointless CGI mess that is 2.0. |
| There are no stops on Anno's Wild Ride. |
 |
| All the Rebuild action fags are mad THANK YOU BASED ANNO FOR 3.0 |
| 3.0 was better than 1.0, but 2.0 was far better. Still, with 3.0 I wasn't disappointed at all. Didn't expect it to be as good as 2.0 anyway. |
 |
| how could I stop if there's only 1/4 way left? I'm going to see rebuild 'til the end |
| me,i will continue this movie until the end of evangelionthe world it was a great movie! |
| I will, Evangelion 3.0 wasn't exactly a trainwreck IMO but it wasn't a great film either. It was more like the prelude for the next movie. The fall of Shinji in this film makes a lot of room for a epic climax to occur in the next movie. This movie serves a ground to build up the Evangelion mythos and explain some of the mysteries surrounding Nerv, EVAs, SEELE and more importantly what makes up EVA unit-01. But all this may just be wishful thinking on my end. There is a possibility that the next movie will end of with more questions than answers it provides but I have faith in Gainax and Anno himself. Fans probably set their expectation extremely high after the Evagelion 2.0 (mine as well) and will come off 3.0 as an utterly disappointing addition to the series. But upon rewatching, there are much to take away from this installment that could be utilized and expanded upon in the final movie. (I still think that the characters in the movie have poor communication skills) Still looking forward to Evangelion 4.0 (where did all those Evangelions that EVA 02+08 was fighting come from??) |

| The right question is: Who will not continue to watch the rebuilds after the trainwreck that is 3.0? |
 |
| I will (not) stop watching the Rebuilds and I didn't think 3.0 was a trainwreck in the least. |
 |
| I will not stop watching as well, since I, have always loved the Evangelion series, from the TV Series, from the movies, I loved it, and I will continue on loving it. It has a unique aura in it, it's still a masterpiece. |
| I have super mixed feelings about this. I am a huge fan of the original NGE, it blew my mind when I first saw it, it was one of my earliest tastes of how anime could have deep and meaningful stories. I remember my excitement when they first announced the Rebuild. I watched one and two and despite the big changes I felt they kept a lot of the themes and meaning from the original while spicing up the design of the angels and the combat sequences. 3.0 was just such a huge departure from the story line that I know and love. A part of me wants to reject it out and out, it differs from the original that I know and love in such a big way, but the other part of me wants to love it because it does that. I wonder if the part of me that hates 3.0 just does because of the difference or if there is something more fundamental that 3.0 did not get right. As the 3rd act of the Rebuild, it does share somethings with the 3rd act of NGE. I just don't know if I can love it the same way that I love the original TV series. Aside from my conflicted feelings I really just hope that 4.0 explains things just a little better, and that it comes out before 2014. I don't want to have to wait another whole year before I can really decide if the Rebuild lives up to the legacy of NGE. |
| 3.0 was excellent, best so far. I honestly don't get all the hate, I guess change is hard for some people to deal with. Really looking forward to 4. |

It's really difficult for me to judge it as a standalone with my love of NGE getting in the way as well. |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| So I was actually introduced to Evagelion by the Rebuild movies, for the sole reason of availability. So the movies not matching up with the series isn't a concern for me. What is a concern is that the second two movies won't match up tonally with the first two. That said, I'm reserving judgement until I see them both in their entirety. But I am not as excited as I was. |
| Let this be our little secret, no needs to know we're feeling HIGHER AND HIGHER AND HIGHER! |
skudoops said: Why wouldn't I watch 4.0.. it could make 3.0 a brilliant movie. 3.0 wasn't a trainwreck but it had issues.. ^ this, exactly my opinion. Oh, and btw, what's with the topic? Try making it less one-sided. I mean, I know you didn't like it (obviously), but you don't have to predispose everyone who reads it into thinking it was a bad movie. |
| How will this movie make another movie better? If 3.0 is s*** now then it's s*** forever, end of story. |
| 3.0 was in no way a train wreck, it just didn't get very interesting until the second half of the movie, and even before then it wasn't all that bad. So yes, I'm going to watch 4.0 in the hopes that I'll get my NGE fix from that one, as 3.0 didn't completely satisfy my hunger. |

| I got into the Evangelion series through the rebuild movies and I had no problems with 3.0, I thought 3.0 was far better than 1.0 but 2.0 was a little better than it. I will definitely be continuing to watch. |

| Lol 3.0 wasn't a trainwreck, possibly bad comparability and rather subjectively, but not a trainwreck. I figure the 4th one will either be mindblowingly beautiful or a bomb massively, either way I'm watching. |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| I found 3.0 isn't a trainwreck and not bad at all to me so I'll see this through the end. |
 |
| For me it isn't that bad (on the contrary it is currently my second favorite next to 2.0) so I'll watch and see how the final movie turns out. |

That said, I'm reserving judgement until I see them both in their entirety. But I am not as excited as I was. Cause, let's face it, 3.0 was pretty far off the mark compared to 2.0. Tone, character personalities, everything. Even for someone who held less/lower expectations for how the story would be in 3.0 viewed it somewhat negatively. I barely found likable characters in 3.0, and I only like Kaworu and Mari because they were the only people who weren't complete pricks. There was no character development and very little plot explanation, and minor character relationship developments. This whole movie was practically exposition for 4.0 (understandably, they were supposed to be released as one film ... but still)! I hardly felt any emotion inside me the entire film, and I suspect I only rated "You Can (Not) Redo" 7/10 due to bias. I mean ,there are good points in this movie, don't get me wrong, but it's very hard to pinpoint them outside of the technical aspects (like animation quality and music). Not that this is stopping me from watching 4.0. Not only do I want to hear Hikki's last Eva song, or see if we get a Shinji x Rei conclusion this time (or, God forbid, a happy ending!), or even have my newly-arisen questions answered, but I sincerely hope it redeems the disappointment that was 3.0. |
 |
| Am I the only one who thinks that 3.33 is not bad at all. Sure it lacks something and a huge departure from what we know. But it is something new. I think people set their expectation even higher after seeing the 2.22. Which is very reasonable. You could say I started Eva with rebuild, I never had any strong connection with the series to begin with. I catched up with the series after seeing 2 rebuild movies. I watched EoE and Death & Rebirth as well. |
| 3.0 was my favorite one by far so yeah, hopefully 4th one will be good too (not expecting to like it as much). If you ask me the rebuild movies have never been about the plot, but rather the themes, messages and growth of Shinji's character. |
| of course i will im not gonna drop this just because 1 movie/episode did not reach the high expectation |
Going down with the ship.  |
 |
| I will surely watch the 4th movie because I personally liked 1 and 2. I like them more than the original and the EOE. Especially because the characters were more likable and had more drama/emotions in the rebuilds (I'm a sucker for drama). What I believe to be a real trainwreck would the the 2 final episodes of the original series LOL. |
| why is everyone so disappointing with 3.0. I will agree that it is the worst rebuild movie so far, but that isn't saying much in my opinion. The reason why it wasn't as good is because it is the classic build up to the grand finale. It purposely didn't explain much so you are left wondering what the fuck was happening(they did that in the original Evangelion to). This movie was simply reminding us with a good whack over the head that evangelion isn't a lovey dovey story. It was Evangelion simply going back to it roots of depression and hopelessness so don't hate the movie for being what Evangelion has always been. |

| 3.0 is Empire Strikes Back (meaning it's the darkest, unresolved and best) (I'm hoping 4.0 is even better) |
| I have to watch 4.0 so I can figure out what the fuck happened in 3.0. I agree it was a train wreck. I was really hoping he would continue with what he started on 2.0. Then I realized this is Anno we are talking about; who am I kidding. This guy loves to fly on wings of euphoria then nose dive down a spiral of depression. I really didn't enjoy 3.0 it gave me a god damn headache, and its honestly just heading in the same direction as End of Evangelion. Which in my opinion makes these remake/redo or what ever you want to call them pointless. I'm not expecting too much from the last movie, but at least I want answers for the third. |
 |
| jesus fucking christ with the people spouting train wreak this and train wreak that bullshit... |
| I liked the film, i didn't think it was bad to be honest. I don't even think it leaves that many unanswered questions either, at least not ones that we would need to know right now. Will definitely be watching 4, i will wait for it eagerly, for 2 years :( |
