After the ordeal of our loneliness and despair, there’s always a place to return to our happiness.

The Evangelion narrative transcends love and tears, beyond our opaque reality, breaking the forth dimension, where we meet our Genesis and, valiant, attain new hope and future.

imo 3.0+1.0 gotta be my favorite, probably because it's the one to tie together all the movies into a very nice and kinda understandable bow

Most likely and most certainly I choose 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time as my favorite movie in this series. End of Evangelion, at first viewing, I was quite disappointed with the crap they served, many meaningless and moralless phases, but after seeing people's explanations about the story, I realized that it's not really like that, giving it an 8 out of 4 as a small idea. It's just that the last movie Eva made me realize how important this series was for me, as a simple spectator, caught in the stage poses, which one more than the other, of the characters. The end of the movie left me speechless, I actually cried with joy and sadness at the same time, I don't know how many feelings went through my mind and heart but the fact is that I felt like I was in ninth heaven after that. This film not only has a very great visual impact, but also a psychological and moral impact on a viewer, who at the same time tries to assimilate every detail and every part of the film.
Truly superb, I can say that without hesitation.

I still hold the opinion that The End of Evangelion remains the best movie in the series. The storytelling is unmatched, the imagery is so striking I would hang it on my own walls, and the bittersweet conclusion perfectly captures the idea that meaningful change cannot be achieved swiftly. All in all, it’s a perfect movie.

I understand that many people enjoyed the final installment of the series, but I just can’t bring myself to like it as much as the rest of the franchise. The protagonist’s conclusion felt too easily earned for my taste, and the Michael Bay-esque action sequences weren’t really to my liking. That said, the art direction and story are on par with the rest of the Rebuild films. However, the character of Mari still feels perplexing to me—a character seemingly created just to give the main character a happy ending. I can respect that choice, but it doesn’t resonate with me.

@SettonX1 End was meant to be THE END. So it will always be my favorite. I even own the damn thing. It's depressing as hell though. LOL

I love the rebuilds, but EoE remains the most interesting one of the bunch. It's pretty impressive as a film and a great finale to the series. The rebuilds add some nice details (and give us more Kaworu, which is a plus), but have several shortfalls (especially Mari, a character that just shows up without barely an explanation). Still, Evangelion as a whole is top-tier anime.

There's just something about 3.0+1.0 that hits me so hard every single time. I've rewatched the original series and the rebuilds each multiple times and I still have yet to make it through the end of 3.0+1.0 without crying.

I think it goes beyond just the content of the actual film and the story it tells. The way that 3.0+1.0 serves not just as the ending to the story of the rebuilds but also as a final loving farewell to the project of evangelion, it just has so much heart to it. Anno has grappled with trying to tell this story for almost two decades and throughout it you can feel this sense of a creator working through something and never quite reaching what he was striving for. In the final installment there's this feeling that shines through of Anno finding what he'd been looking for and working out the feelings he'd been struggling all this time to make sense of.

All the way throughout evangelion it's told stories of people struggling with feelings of loneliness - trying desperately not to be left behind, and trying desperately not to let go. I think it's the combined weight of all of these stories and all of these emotions that makes this final resolution feel so powerful. It's not just Shinji finally letting go of and saying farewell to the evangelions, it's Anno making peace with this being the final version of his story, and it's us saying farewell to this series we've watched and been so moved by over the course of all these years and in all these different versions.

EoE is the best movie, but 3.0+1.0 is the best finale.

Honestly, EoE is a cinematic masterpiece, but it makes you uncomfortable. It’s not rewatchable for me. My favorite is 3+1 simply because it ends the story, and does it right. After all the characters, producers, and audience had been through, it’s nice to tie a bow on the entire series and put it to rest.

Hard to choose between EOE and Thrice Upon a Time, both are 10/10's but I prefer EOE. Suprised 3.0 got more votes than 1.0, but I can kinda see why.
