Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time
Watching Neon Genesis Evangelion was like reading a good obscure philosopher. Even when something was beyond understanding, it felt as if it was due to the difficulty of putting such complex concepts in words and images. Evangelion: 3.0 + 1.0 feels like the exact opposite.
This final chapter in the Rebuild of Evangelion attempts to redefine the philosophy behind the whole franchise, but can't pass the point of dropping barely-related vaguely-defined ideas and disguising their simpleness with a bunch of yada yada. 133
Complexity here is not inherent to the depth of the matter, but instead a disguise of its superficiality. Add to that a world built with little rules, in which cataclysmic events and miraculous happenings occur so often that mean nothing, and a complete disregard for the logic of characters' knowledge. The result is a mess that attempts to leave everyone satisfied but wouldn't support any scrutiny.
I get that <PERSON> wanted to redo his masterpiece and change a work of depression for a monument to hope, but, at least for me, the result was an absolute disappointment. 909
