Did Shinji get teleported to an alternate universe or something? How long has it been since the ending of 2.0, because the new NERV base and all the bridge bunnies are completely different.
The beginning was kind of slow and too much technobabble for my taste. Middle part was quite interesting, end was intense. It's nice to see a different take on the story. It was quite confusing at times, but then again this is Eva. Looking forward to the last movie.
Loved the hallucination sequence once Shinji realizes the damage that he has inflicted upon humanity and Earth, for apparently no gain. Not very satisfied with how the angels were defeated in this continuity.
Rei halluncinating seeing the original Rei. Shinji knowing the truth about his mother and Rei. Mari still not having revealed her background, why she was able to pilot 02, what her secret mission was when she was introduced in 2.0. Unit 01 being able to be activated by Shinji now that the collar has been destroyed. SEELE not showing their hand yet. Misato and her faction, and the massive airship. The pilots traveling the Red Earth. Kaworou being "aware" of Shinji from the original continuity, ties between Rebuild and the original not having been revealed yet. The fake 01s in the preview. Shinji's mother's name is Ayanami Yui, NOT Ikari Yui in the original (rebuild Gendo is still Ikari...!)
We're going to see how Rebuild interprets End Of Evangelion with all these new twists.
Kind of wanted some of these plot points to be addressed more directly in 3.0, but oh well.
I am incredibly mad that the "trailer" for 3.00 at the end of 2.22 was just them telling us what happened between the two movies instead of any of it actually happening.

Apparently 90% of the script was thrown out at one point by the writers. A popular theory is that they were "inspired" by the chaos of the Japanese earthquake and nuclear meltdown crisis in 2011.
I just rewatched the 3.00 trailer before watching the movie and i didn't remember Misato saying " I'll give you plenty more fan service next time,too!" LOL

I highly doubt Anno will wrap anything up in the next movie. He'll create something purely to stoke speculation for the next 10 years, he'll write the characters as to be unlikeable except by those who are willing to fill in all the gaps in writing by themselves etc etc.
Many disappointing things in this movie. But probably Kawaru probably takes the cake. Shinji not showing development that was hinted at the end of 2.0 and any difference in Rei is a close second and third.
i kind of agree with this ... but at the same time i understand that "this" movie, that is, the metaphysical-mindfucking-whatthehelljusthapened type of episode we know from the series, was inevitable.
I loved the original Evangelion, both its initial ending but also its redo. I've been waiting for the New version to finish all 4 parts so I can watch it all at once. It is one of the most complicated and deep storylines I've ever read. I even gave a paper at an academic conference once connecting The End of Evangelion to various psychoanalytic (Lacan) theories.

I'm assuming also substantially older and significantly less insane?

It was at the end of 2.22 after the credits as well. Though I thought that was Asuka who said it, haha!

Nah, that's Misato's job. She said it in the episode previews of the tv show as well.

No, that makes sense, I get it. I actually just realized she said something similar to that to Shinji in EoE. Along the lines of "We'll do the rest later, okay?"
Lol. Anno, you troll and your recurring jokes. X-D

i'm so lost right now though.
Pretty much this :O
The original NGE was the first anime series I watched a few years ago. I only started to watch a lot of anime this school year. Watching 3.0 reminded me that around 25 series later, NGE is still one of the weirdest and craziest but most amazing things I've seen.
I'm afraid Evangelion: 3.0 is the true End of Evangelion. (It was so bad that it ruined Evangelion forever)
It wasn't that bad, but it certainly wasn't great. Kaworu best character (as he was originally) and Rei second best character + Show Spoiler +
For not being an obnoxious character like Asuka, Mari, everyone else except Kaworu
I do wonder what they will do with the fourth one, now. This one didn't flow at all with the last one. Hell, it almost makes more sense that THIS was the fourth one.
