Raising Project was good for the four volumes they had story for, and then they realized it was a comedy ("comedy") fanservice gold mine and ran with that for the next...12, 13, way too many volumes But hey, props to them for using Mana outside of Girlfriend of Steel and being the only series Asuka's mother exists as a character in (and Yui, and Gendo, who got to punch Ramiel and be a more dorky dad) And Kaworu was there too for a few chapters before getting shooed away so they could focus on ye olde love triangle

It's Officeworker Shinji getting tossed into various versions of the original series, sometimes having to deal with his own younger counterparts. Every episode ends with a call home to Mari, who is, from what we can hear, increasingly amused.

I have seen it twice and remember barely any of it either time Which made the second viewing somewhat better since I kept recalling hazy bits and pieces, and then GNR showed up looking like it did and I burst out laughing It was...fine, overall, I'd say, and I'm overall glad it did what it did with the setting and characters

Eva returned to that slow daily stuff that made the original series great in giving things more backing, weight, and meaning. Shinji is given new horrors to comprehend but also the tools to handle them and more. The fight looked fake because it was. Shinji finally just talked to his dad and a whole corpus of regret and averted realities and trauma was suddenly resolved in a fascinating new direction. That much was worth the sometimes literally infinite pile of other nonsense.

the bits in the village were just top notch the first fight over paris was neat, seeing it again only longer, with less spatial reference and more clutter over antartica was kind of mediocre it feels a bit disappointing that there isn't at least one knock down hand to hand fight overall it wrapped up a 25 years plus of series carrying a ton of emotional baggage and enigmatic conspiracies without completely falling on it's face, which frankly i would have thought to be kind of impossible

I liked the ending way more than ever expected to. I'm looking forward to its content showing up in a proper SRW game to get the silly dad fight. I never expected them to stick the landing on it at all, and they managed it and I'd be okay with there never being any new eva stuff ever again after that.

I really love part 4 and felt like it finally ended the series for me in a way that End of Eva and the series did not. I definitely cried at the end not entirely because of the movie itself but because this series has been so important to me for so long. The village stuff and "fake" Rei were excellent. I liked that the fight at the end was fake at that solution in the end was... forcing his dad to actually talk to him.

For a product that took 25 years to reach its final final conclusion I thought it did it really well and it was emotionally moving to get to see Shinji and Co have a future free from all the bullshit their now canon multiple lives and timelines housed. I would say I found it cathartic and enjoyable.

It’s a good video op. Generally they do videos focusing on auteurism in the anime industry (hence, the Hideaki Anno problem), and really try to bring to light the collaborative nature of the process. The princess mononoke video was really a good deep dive into the production process as well. It is far and away not analysis of the work but analysis and description of production. That video is kind of an overview of Anno’s work up to that point focusing on the production and collaborators.

Rebuild 4 is one of the most meaningful films I've seen in my life, and I have a really deep respect for it. It's a very generous movie, extending grace to everyone in the story in a way that feels very deeply heartfelt. You can sense the years and years of maturation between End of Evangelion and Rebuild 4. The ending was very deeply moving to me--it's hard to put into words how affecting it was, as someone who has identified with Shinji and who has has struggles with my parents as well. The music is outstanding. The village sequence is like a magic spell--everything from the setting to the execution of it is so unexpected but feels like such a perfect direction for the story. The Hand of Fate insert song sequence in particular was when I knew I was watching something special. The biggest issue the movie has for me, though, is its production limitations. It's a beautiful movie, but I get the impression that in order for it to be finished, the crew had to make some major concessions in terms of animation. I personally think the CGI mecha battle sequences fall completely flat. It's a real shame, because Asuka's battle against the mass production units in End of Eva is a high-water mark for animation. When you go back and watch that sequence, it is still as technically impressive and viscerally engaging as ever. The battles in Rebuild 4 simply do not work. It thankfully is self-aware enough to incorporate it into the script, but it's a shame. I think as a whole, Rebuild 4 has somewhat limited visuals but really capitalizes on the emotional bonds the viewer has with its characters. The visuals end up relying a lot on conceptual strength rather than technical strength. Like the CGI rei head is very silly, but it conveys a genuine sense of otherworldliness and a kind of "yeah, whatever Gendo's trying to do here seems kind of futile and doomed from the start." I think there are some other examples of this, too. When Shinji is talking to Rei and the show is playing in sequence behind him--that's not impressive the same way the surreal imagery of Instrumentality is impressive, but it is moving to the viewer, because the film understands the emotional bonds the viewer has with the show. Same for when Shinji is sitting on the shore with the adult Asuka. That said, a lot of the environmental art is outstanding. I think Rebuild 3 and 4 are visionary in their post-apocalyptic landscapes. There are some scenes that are beautifully composed. Anno's approach to storyboarding was really interesting--the empty live action set that appears in the film was used to stage scenes with live actors, and he would basically have the actors perform the scenes over and over again while he filmed them from various angles to try to find the most interesting compositions to animate. The one scene that I adore in terms of its animation is when Shinji is sitting by the shore and the art gradually simplifies--the "sayonara, all of evangelion" scene. That sequence is perfect.

Wow, that's stupid. Gendo's not remotely narcissistic. He doesn't think he's worth poo poo, except as a tool for bringing Yui back. Actually, that's kind of the problem.

Sounds like someone ripped one of the screener discs that went out to theaters for the very limited theatrical run that followed the costal con showings. Glad it's out there once again.

They're not "as" lost as the theatrical dub of 3.33 but it would be nice if the pre-Khara dubs of the first two rebuilds became available again, as impossible as that would be to do legally. The disks for them still exist but they're out of print so it's second hand stuff only.

I had absolutely no idea the latest Eva movie had two short films included in them. I love how they took the opportunity to add nothing except showing why a girl got a pink hair. But I did absolutely love that it showed the failed third impact and people freakishly turning into Evangelions. That's super harrowing poo poo.
