I've seen 'em. Thought about buying 'em, decided against it. I agree with Griever, the art's sorta off, and it's hard for me to justify manga purchases as is. My wallet aches...
I dunno what to think about the series, though. It's...fanfic, really.
's just that Evangelion's been around long enough, and has a large enough fanbase...and a parent company mercenary enough.. for this to actually hit the market as a commercial product.
I mean, the urge to 'fix' series to have a happy ending, or to be nicer, shinier...well, that's a total fan writing thing. 'specially if the series has characters that appeal to the heart (or libido).
So, that's the whole positive-outlook rewrite of Evangelion right there.
I figure most folks here read EPU stuff...well, that's Neon Exodus Evangelion right there. It's the same thing. It's happy-rewrite fanfic. Well, not that NXE is all shiny fluff, Gryphon and company grok the dramatic necessity of throwing rocks at one's characters...but, y'know. It's more positive.
People like positive. If you associate with characters, you wanna see 'em happy. People like positive themes, positive messages. Or something.
...well. That's how I think, anyway. To a degree. I wrote another opening sequence for my own Evangelion fic just yesterday...I hope to finish it sometime, but given the fact I've rewritten the first chapter three times over the past four years, I doubt that'd be anytime soon.
But the thing's called "Evangelion: Road to Damascus" - the title's Biblical reference tells you everything you need to know about my feelings on the subject. o_o
