the way EVA ended makes me not want to watch the movies because i thought the ending was really good.

End of Evangelion still incorporates the "what goes on in Shinji's head" aspect of the Third Impact

it's just not as dragged out, because the movie also focuses greatly on what happens outside of his head and what actually leads up to the Third Impact happening

regardless of whether you like the original ending, the movie ending is really more the "real" one. or "expanded" if you will. the way Anno wanted it to end.

yeah, i just finished Lain so i will probably watch it now before starting another series. 
idk,  i like the way it switched what was considered Important
like from the survival of mankind and the ~mystery of what an EVA actually is~ to  shinji's personal problem of why he should bother existing after he 'fulfilled his role'   and how it is actually Really Important that shinji knows that he is ~a person that matters more than what other's see him accomplish~ idk . Idk. idk. Idk.

it is extremely important to the series yes, because one needs to remember that eva is a very character-driven story about people with a fuckload of problems (seriously not one character with any decent screen time is NOT an emotional wreck)

but don't worry, end of eva still does this. in a way, i think it does it even better. particularly with regard to the very end of the movie. you'll see.

ok i was Pretty Much An Idiot for not watching end of eva. i am literally shaking   i dont know even know what to say

i re-watched evangelion 2.22 finally and, while i still think the climax is really cheesy, i like the movie overall a bit more

just got nekomonogablahblah,
will watch it probably tonight.

[Nyerp]

uhhhhhh why are you comparing it to end of eva when it's only 2 out of 4 total movies

[TooB]

you know, when you read the liner notes for 1.1, it says that movies 3 and 4 will be released at the same time.
is that not happening? i kinda wish it will, since we'll probably have to wait until 2014 for the american dvd release of 3.0 as it is.

[Nyerp]

3.0 came out in november so no i'm pretty sure they're not coming out together

[Samus Aran]

the idea was to release them both at the same time theatrically, in effectively one film

so like nyerp said, considering 3.0 already hit theatres two months ago, that idea obviously never happened
