Hopefully this time they don’t run out of ink.
Look, I like plenty of Gainax’s stuff. But Evangelion is not really one of them. It always struck me as a depressing slog through bullshit symbolism and allegory. That all said, I really like parodies of the intro.

This one really hits me where I live, man.

That said, I saw the first 2 Rebuild movies thanks to Toonami, and they were pretty okay. Certainly better medicated than the original series. It’s been some time since the 3rd movie came out, though: roughly 5 years. That can mostly be blamed on a couple of things; Anno had to take a break after the last one, and he was also busy with Shin Godzilla. But I guess it’s now time to finish things. Meanwhile, Gainax resembles a deflated balloon and is currently selling tomatoes.
Recently, however, the site for the Rebuild movies finally updated for 3.0 + 1.0, which is a fucking Square Enix title for something if ever I saw one. Sure, it’s just an image with a smattering of text that I’m not going to translate, because I’m not Elrond the Half-elven and I don’t read moon runes (if you want that, Polygon’s got a translated version that I didn’t feel good about poaching). But it’s something.
Honestly, though, figuring out Evangelion is like Zelda timeline theories or the story of Kingdom Hearts: completely pointless. On the plus side, it’ll probably be well animated. And hopefully, Shinji won’t have to rant about this one’s ending.
