But does Eva 2.0 have lots of Mari Makinami air time? In other words: Is it worth it to watch 2.0 purely for Mari? Thanks in advance. | ||

I saw this a long time ago. Shinji is my least favorite main character of all time. Ruined the anime for me, at least partially. It'd have been much better with a main char that wasn't as awful. I really liked Rei, she's one of my favorite characters and was my favorite character in the anime. I also like her voice actor in general. The opening is one of my all-time favorites for animes as well. Such a shame the main character sucks so much, this could have been much better. (I haven't seen any movies, heard he might have been slightly better there). Oh right and I give it 7/10 | ||

The hospital room scene was a direct middle finger to them. Shinji is meant to be a very unlikeable character, as he is a loner, he is a loser, he mopes around and gets on people's nerves with his depression and lack of confidence/self esteem. A lot of the story revolves around him trying to get past the "hedgehog's dilemma" and evolve as a character, yet the plot and Anno repeatedly stomps all over him until he's the puddle that appears in EoE. The franchise certainly gives the audience a lot of chances to sympathize and relate to Shinji, even + Show Spoiler + allowing him to break through and rescue Rei in 2.0 | ||

This is a very worthy thread. Does Evangelion justice. Thanks for making this thread. Also, Evangelion ftw! On September 13 2012 09:02 MadNeSs wrote: LOL this is so great! Even though it's not 5 seconds, this is still actually a pretty legit "5 seconds" thing (covers the show overall, instead of many of these videos which only focus on 1 trivial aspect or such) | ||

Im sold, Ill skip 1.0 and go straight to 2.0 though. 1.0 is pretty much a new theatrical version of the first six episodes, with no real divergence other than amazing visuals and animation this time around. You might as well watch it, since it's pretty cool to see a 90's anime being presented with today's high quality production. also this: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/FaWDR.jpg) | ||

In the original, I remember the beginning (the first 6 roughly episodes) felt really claustrophobic (they don't go anywhere much, few characters, not much happening, etc.), and sorta made me depressed. Shinji and his depression was also emphasized more, and it really made the series emotional for me to watch. It felt really sad. In the remake they spend much less time on it. I guess you could say the remakes are more "streamlined" (if that's the right word), as in they should appeal to a larger audience. But yea Eva 1.0 is pretty much very faithful, nothing very significant changed. 2.0 you start to see some new stuff (like Mari) and can see how 3.0 may be very different than the original plot. | ||

I think the best way to describe it is to have all the characters, and put them on medication. They're not essentially happier, but they're definitely more emotionally stable and balanced. | ||

This is the kind of anime for me that was best watched absolutely stoned out of my mind/on acid, and trying to actually feel the emotions and thoughts of the characters, and that my friends is called "Living the dream". I suggest if you didn't like it when you first tried watching, go attempt to REALLY live the dream. And no, it won't be happy. | ||

For mechas alone I think that Muv-Luv Alternative does a much better job with a shit main character. Then again Visual Novels tend to have higher quality character personalities / development than animes due to them getting like 10x the time to work with so that might not be a completely fair comparison but ... Oh right now that I've rewatch-skipped this a little bit I really don't think they handed the ending to the anime properly, either. I don't think NGE lived up to the potential I saw in the first few episodes... Though again that might have changed with the movies or whatever. I guess it's a really old anime and a frontrunner so I should be more understanding but meh | ||
