I have waited for the opportunity to watch the new Evangelion for the long time. Today I have to admit that I am strongly surprised because of the enthusiastic reception of this movie. This is certainly a good position but it lacks a lot to be called a masterpiece.

The latest Evangelion is above all very chaotic project, which makes it difficult to watch at times. It has also some difficulties in creating the atmosphere that has enchanted me in the manga. It surprises me even more when I recall that You Are (Not) Alone has not had these kind of problems. In this case, there ... is a lack of binder, which would be a link between old school and the new Evangelion, which came to life in this century.

However I would like to admit that the sound saves a day. It is even better to say that it saves You Can (Not) Advance as a movie and fills the gaps in the moments that lead me to the teeth grind. The issue of the audio is in general a great showcase of the new series.

Finally I would like to draw attention to the “new” Asuka, who has a lot of problems in finding herself in the new environment. She is completely asexual and devoid of any sensibly shaped personality. She is rather a strange robot than a living human being.

Despite this, refreshing the Evangelion is a good idea and I am waiting for the next two films. Even the fact that I was a bit disappointed that day.
