A bit of a rant warning - not directed at you or anyone here. Just - I tend to go OFF on this subject sometimes when it's brought up.
Now you see why I HATE what Anno did to Asuka? She REDEEMED herself at last! And then... ARGH!! Poor girl just can NOT get a break!
And Shinji is NOT the same character. Even to the last episode of the regular series, I could sympathize with him. I wanted to kick him in the ass several times, but I still sympathized with him.
In EOE, I just want him to die. He's a completely reprehensible, useless character.
I could even accept the rest of the movie and the way things ended if Shinji's characterization was even a little bit more on target. I don't know WHAT they were thinking.
The rest of the movie has it's high and low moments. The rest of the characterizations are good. I even like what Rei does. SHe decides at the end that she isn't Gendo's tool. That's appropriate. Misato, Ritsuko and the others are as they should be, given the circumstances.
Oh well. I have a love/hate thing going with Evangelion. As if you couldn't tell.![[Image: smile.gif]](http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif)
