I adore Evangelion. I absolutely love the series and EoE, so of course I have to watch the Rebuilds, but at the moment I'm not particularly enthused. The animation is better, yes, especially in some particular scenes, but I can't help feeling that this particular film is a bit pointless. I know the next three films will diverge from the original slightly and this film does what it sets out to do, and I enjoyed it, but I doubt I'll ever watch it again. It is literally just the first six episodes adapted on a scene by scene basis, except the bit where Shinji almost
...
leaves and probably some other bits.
Also, I'm just going to leave this here before I watch Evangelion 2.0: this film adapts the first six episodes pretty much scene for scene. Asuka hasn't even been introduced, and is only mentioned once in passing. How the hell is the next one going to adapt the remaining 20 plus EoE? Okay, I'm guessing 25 and 26 are left out in favour of EoE. The Jet Alone episode and Magma Diver are probably also gone. But that still leaves 16 episodes plus a feature length to compress into one feature length. I will edit this review after watching Evangelion 2.0, which is why this is the first review I've posted here even though I have two other reviews I started first and have yet to post (of Toradora! and FLCL).
EDIT: Okay so 2.0 and 3.0 are nothing like the original series.
