Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth (1997)

General idea of the film :::SPOILERS:::

[10/10 · 24 September 2002]

WARNING :::SPOILERS::: !!!!

First half is a quick review of the series, minus the last two episodes, it also further explains what happened durning the second impact, kinda scary, also you learn more about misato, yui, and gendo... NERV then comes under attack by the very last angel, humans. SEELE ordered their special forces unit to take the 2 remaining Eva's by force. Almost everyone is killed, brutally i might add, and it bleeds into End of Evangelion, infact about all of Rebirth is repeated in Air, but then it continues....

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (1997)

Semi Complete review :::SPOILERS:::

[10/10 · 24 September 2002]

WARNING !!! SPOILERS! It took several viewings of this awesome conclussion to one of the best series ever released.... ok, enough of that, it starts of with NERV hq being overrun by SEELE special forces, it picks up where Death and Rebirth left off, with Asuka in Eva-02 at the bottom of the lake in the Geo Front, Rei and Gendo down in Central Dogma looking at Adam, and Shinji doing what he's best at, whimping out, not wanting to get into eva-01. Now it gets weird, Ritsuko tries to rewrite the Magi's program to let in the other 4 Magi systems, but she is stopped by Caspar itself and then Gendo shoots her, fun. meanwhile asuka, in eva-02, dismantles half of SEELE's mobile forces then the rest of the Eva series is deployed on her. she "destroys" 9 eva's before her batteries run out, but the other Eva's have the S2 system and regenerate, and then shinji gets onto the scene and is crucified.... in the end the whole big idea is this "shinji, you can kill everyone and unite them into one in order not to be hurt anymore, or you can return everything to how it was" but i still haven't figured out the very last scene...

General idea of the film

[10/10 · 2 March 2002]

A seemingly Hollywood sex movie for the first half, then the plot loses most people. I won't reveal any secrets per instructions of the guidelines. But one should notice the symbolism of any exaggerated events (everything that is odd or in great detail means something to the overall message). I'm still at a loss as to how to explain the message of the movie, so no risk at giving that away....
