A typical anime watcher and manga reader. I'm a teaching assistant for mathematics, I swim, and I'm Chinese. My favorite color is blue and my favorite fruit is watermelon.
I have never dropped a series, completion is good.
I'm behind on my manga exposure. For me, it's a lot easier and more convenient to sit down and marathon an anime than it is to marathon a manga. Unfortunately, this means that I haven't read very much.
I'm also too lazy to write a lot of CSS for my About Me, maybe I'll do it later.
I don't tend to write reviews or recommendations. As a personal ideal I don't think that my opinions should have that much influence in either persuading or discouraging you from watching something. Right now the only exception is Rebuild of Evangelion 3.0
Landmark Moment: My 1000th completed anime was Girls Und Panzer. It certainly is not what I would've expected a few years ago, and I guess it really depended on the order that I chose to watch things in, but a landmark moment nonetheless.

Would you give me some time to talk about our lord, EVA? :D
Your review was very interesting. In fact, at the beginning of 3.0, I really was wondering if I haven't skipped an entire movie, or at least the end of 2.0., because I couldn't understand what was happening!
I think that, as you said, that confusion is intentionally created to feel like shinji, but then, that's too much! The only thing we know for sure is that he screwed up, he's clueless, everyone hates him (as usual) and his father's still using him as a tool.
So yeah, basically we're back to square one...
While the technical aspects of the movie remain top-notch it's actually been quite a while since the last time I've seen an anime turning out to be such a letdown. I highly doubt that exceeding in plotholes an eva-ish symbogasm adds anything relevant to the series/franchise other than confusion... and even that feels kind of forced onto the viewer. <_<
On a side note:
What is it with time skips -for no good reasons- becoming popular with japanese authors? (-_-)
But thaanks anyway! =)
I personally call that one Rebirth of Shinji: You Can (Not) Do
because it's basically just 1.5 hours(?) of people being a dick to Shinji and bossing him around with only Kaworu treating him humanely (as usual).
What I do hate most about the movie is how it keeps adding elements (the dual lances and dual entry EVA 13 which is so OMG SYMBOLIC being the biggest offender) that just add more questions and confusion.
the rather underwheming MK Evas being the new "angels" here also sucks. since they don't seem as creative as the angels themselves. which seems to be the entire point. but either way, they 'don't really seem that awesome.
