Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Trolling Up On A Lifetime. Alternative Title: You Got Bad Kredit, Anno.
Yeah yeah, spoilers ahead I guess, but it doesn't matter anyway since the whole movie is just a compilation of random scenes with no connection, so...
Now, let's be clear here: this fourth installment of the rebuild series never had a chance to begin with after the pathetic display of the third movie. The only chance of being halfway decent that this movie ever had was to completley nullifie the third movie in all his tracks and act like none of it happened (just like the third movie did with the first two).But
...
at that point in time we all knew that this was never gonna happen and so the fourth movie, as expected, continues the sharade that the third movie brought to the table, only this time around the shitshow goes on for two and a half hours. See, if you wanna grow your own fruits or vegetabels and your plantation already consists of nothing but garbage but then on top of that you put toxic waste into that garbage ground, you don't need to wonder why there will never ever grow nothing.
First of all the whole visual presentation of this movie is just atrocious. You really don't have a sum bitchin clue at what you are lookin at the whole time. And I'm not talking about the CGI, I'm talking about the pure composition of things that you see on the screen. Just the way they are composed inflicts physicall damage on you. I think this pic right here sums it up perfectly: https://i.redd.it/80mcpfvbc1u21.jpg I hope OP doesn't mind, because this was actually posted in a review for 3.33, but even there it made perfect sense, because 3.33 was already looking like this and now 4.0 turns it up to the max. So it isn't even pleasing to look at this movie if you are just in for the looks of it. It's a horrible display all around.
Now lets get to the story/characters (or whatever you wanna call this circus). So basically the first hour of the movie is a slice of life anime of villagers living their lifes peacefully after a historical tragedy..in this case the third impact (that actually never happend, but ReTcOniNG)...but its strange ain't it...the same people who giving Shinji a hard time, whining and bitching that their families died in the third Impact, are living only linear distance away from the fucking ground zero of the SAME IMPACT!! Soooooo you all survived how exactly with ground zero basically nex to your village?! Oh wait, you got that black dildo WILLE ramped into your flora, right? But that didn't happen until many many years had passed already, so how exactly did you found that village in the first place, when basically the whole planet was contaminated? But we not done here..oohh nooo..lets forget about these villagers that would fit perfectly into something like "Flying Witch" and get to our main cast. Lets start with Rei. For some reason Anno doesn't really know that being a freshly new clone, doesn't automatically mean you are a braindead patient whose cognitve abilities are worse than that of a child. Rei, having apparently every brain desease thats in the book, strolls around the village for the whole first hour of this movie asking one dumb ass question after another (what is a dog, what is a cat, what is cute, what is thanks) just to get her head blown of for unknown reasons...yeah, her usfullness exceeded or whatever..Now Shinji basically is the same moody bitch he always was: first hes whining then he helps with the work in the village...for a whole hour...Then theres Askua. Now she is the only one that conveys some informatin here even tho its just being said within a few seconds..seconds of a whole hour...That information being the fact that apparantly all eva pilots that ever existed were clones too just like Rei except for Shinji and they all wear those dog collors. I don't even start fussing about how retarded that plot device is because theres plenty more where that dumb shit came from.
That being said lets move to the second half of that movie. I wrap this short. So, Shinji and Askua board the WILLE, WILLE fights Gendo, Gendo has a little chit chat with WILLE, robs WILLES ass blind, escapes in another dimension, and after a quick dispute everybody loves Shinji again and all the faith in him is restored. All of this with no rhyme or reason as ususal..just BECAUSE, thats why. Contradicting each and everthing 5 times the amount is somehow amusing to Anno. But after that the movie really just gets flat out disrespecting. Because after the, for the sake of argument lets call it "exploration", is done, Anno just flat out trolls the audience to a point where you really start to think that this was his real goal from the start 26 years ago; like it was all planned out from the beginning. So basically Anno IS SEELE. SEELE had their scenario written out 28 years in advance and Anno had his scenario written out 26 years in advance, the troll scenario. The holy sea scrolls of troll. Thats how it really feels. Because the rest of the movie Anno shoves everything from the first two movies that he retconned into your motherfucking face and then on top of that has the audacity to somehow break the 4th Wall and make it look like this was just another production, showing you old footage of the original NGE series that also hasn't been resolved. Its like he really wanted to say: "Yeah you see all that you lil bitty bitch youu..yeah you wanted a conslusion to this old ass shit now didn't you? yeah but you won't get it pussy! gotchu! Oh and remember this time right here were I said I wanted to tell the complete and coherent story with the rebuild movies, cause I didn't have the right budget in the 90s, but then retconned the whole original script and gave you this shit right here instead? hahaha sigght! Yeah look at it deeply, you dumb ho! Look at Yuis big ass head floating around, you remember that nonsense too right?! You won't get anything anymore! I never had a real concept anyway! But thanks for the money sucker!"
Now it is actually true that he, at least officially, said that he wanted to re-tell the initiall story of NGE in its complete and coherent form with the rebuild series. But unfortunatley he failed miserably at that when he retconned everything the first two movies established. But with this Trolling-Attempt I really believe that he purposley threw the original script away and just wanted to create some fuss among the audience. Because he knew he would get money regardless. Whatever the case might be, the rebuild series and the whole Evangelion franchise are beyond repair now. It is even questionable if Anno really ever had a true vision for evangelion as a whole or if he just put random things intentionally together because he knew Mechas alone would be a selling point on their own.
By the way: it is clear now that the preview for the fourth movie at the end of the third was actually something that was gonna be in the original script of the third movie, because you can clearly tell that the scenarisation doesn't match anything from the fourth movie.
And to all the people saying: "you would understand the movie if you read the 50000 page Eva-Enzyclopedia": 1. No, not even then 2. Like I said the rebuild movies were conceptualized to stand on their own and tell the original eva-story on their own as it was always intended even back in the 90s. But they failed miserably. Therefor they suck. End of story.
So to finish this up. The fourth movie might even be more trash than the third just for its lenght but at the end of the day its the same dumb ass blueprint and there is no conclusion or enlightment in any kind of form. Noooo, Shinji and Mari playing couple in an alternate universe is NOT A CONCLUSION! So Anno made lots of money and laughed his ass off disrespecting the audience to the fullest. Well..I could've give him some respect for that, but since he used other peoples illment as an excuse for his failures, which wasn't neccessary even according to his Troll-Scenario, I just have to say fuck him. May he burn in hell for all eternity.

It really is a shame tho, because they actually had it. They had everything figured out from start to finish in the vein of the first two movies. The preview in the second movie (for the third) already told you what to expect, where the overall story was heading and that the third impact definitely DID NOT happen; just like the second movie told you before that it DID NOT happen (but I will get to that in a minute)! So what happend now is this: Our poor,poor, poor Anno who blaims all ... Mar 29, 2021
Here we go again...Tow Ubukata back at it again, showing the world once again that he chosed the wrong profession. Only this time around he is not fucking up somebody elses work but his own creation.
Mardock Scramble is basically the epitome of Ubukatas work routine when it comes to anime: rowing random, incoherent and incomprehensible scenes together one after another and acting like he created the deepest screenplay ever, while in reality its nothing more than a garbage ass shitshow. If you watched Ghost In The Shell: Arise or the second season of Psycho Pass, both mangled by Ubukata, then you know exactly what to ... Mar 29, 2021
A true Tow Ubukata Creation...which means we dealing here with the sheer amount of incompetence one should expect from anything that involves this so called writer.
In Mardock Scramble, Ubukata does what he does best: putting random, incoherent and incomprehensible scenes together and ACT like he did the deepest screenplay ever, while in reality he did nothing but creating a pure dumpsterfire. If you watched the second season of Psycho Pass or Ghost In The Shell: Arise, both written by Ubukata, then you know exactly what to expect from Mardock Scramble: random stupid shit that doesn't make no sense at all and character-exploration/development retarded as it ...

Oh boy...I totally forgot about this garbage. I binged-watched all 3 movies after they got released back then since each movie is connected to the other and ends with huge cliffhangers anyway. So everything you say about one movie also applies to the other movies because you only get the full picture if you watch all three of them. Problem with that full picture is: there is none.
Why is that? Well, Mardock Scramble is a true Tow Ubukata Creation, and it shows..in every god forsaken movie of this trilogy..IT SHOWS! Tow Ubukata does what he does best: putting random, incoherent and incomprehensible scenes one after another ... May 11, 2020

The reboot/remake/continuation of Waraus Salesman follows the exact same premise from the original series down to a T, but with a modern touch to it. If you liked the original show you will certainly enjoy this one too. The only gripe I have with this new version is that there are very few new and exclusive storys being told. Over half of the stories being told in "New" are reboots of episodes from the original show.
As for the content it is literally the same blueprint as the original Warau Salesman. So here goes my initial review I did on the original series: Warau Salesman is not ... May 10, 2020

This is the promotional start up to the overall great dark comedy series Warau Salesman. It is basically the prologue to the story of episode 1. Due to its short lenght and cliffhangerish ending that gets picked up in its entirety in the reall season anyway, this prologue episode is a bit forgettable.
But for its time I can imagine sitting there at home, seeing this for the first time on my TV and being immediatly hooked and craving for more. Its certainly well made and pulls you right into the interesting world of Mogoru Fukuzou. See it as a Promo Trailer for the actual show. ... May 10, 2020
Warau Salesman
(Anime)
add
Warau Salesman is not only one of those "one of a kind anime" but is also heavily underrated and missunderstood.
First of all, Warau Salesman is a Horror-Comedy with pretty heavy social commentary. I don't know why people always deem it as something else. But lets start at the beginning. The show is about a mysterious salesman, Moguro Fukuzou, who deals in human souls (the literal japanese translation is "kokorou" which means heart, but its symbolic for souls). He offers people a splendid deal that fits their deepest desires perfectly and that they won't possibly refuse. All free of charge of course. However, Moguro has always one ... May 10, 2020

First of all, everything you say about one installment of the Arise-Series, automatically applies to all the other installments, cause all of them follow the same lame ass blueprint. So that being said, there is no need to differ between the 5 entries (and the movie).
So, here we have another true Tow Ubukata Screenplay. You can recognize that garbage only 2 minutes in, cause NOTHING makes any sense or is well sceneraized. Just like any other Tow Ubukata Screenplay, we have randomly thrown together scenes, that don't make sense on their own, yet alone any sense withe the original manga. One random occasion after another, ... May 9, 2020

This anime is literally a "masterpiece". Not because its outstanding but due to the fact that this show doesn't make any mistakes regarding story, atmosphere, tension, action , character development and soud design. It really is a perfect creation.
That being said, I would a 100% recommand watching it, even if you don't like the genre itself. Why? Because this show makes a lot of things way better than a lot of other anime in that same genre. It has great visuals too, but it doesn't depend on it solely. It has no plotholes whatsoever, which, lets be honest, is a major issue in the cyber ... |
