Let it be known that today is the day...

That I considered Shinji Ikari to be a badass.

Is that the new Eva thing? Or did not happen in the end?

It's the new EVA thing. I'm watching the last 27 minutes someone uploaded to /a/. It isn't subbed but I'm watching it see if Shinji mans the fuck up for once.

So far it looks like Kaworu is alive this time to start the third impact, the new girl and Rei take on this... Angel-thing, and I'm on Shinji running through a battlefield after Rei and the New girl took a damn missile to it at point blank range.

And holy shit, Shinji is taking the damn thing on by himself. He just lost an arm and is still going!

FUCK, WHEN DID SHINJI LEARN TO MAN THE FUCK UP?

So it's another alternate ending?

Well it looks like the third impact happens around the time the angel shows up that triggers Eva-01's berserk mode but this time it's much different.

HELL, EVA-01 JUST REGREW ANOTHER ARM ON ITS OWN. THEN IT SCREAMED AND THE SHOCKWAVE KNOCKED IT DOWN AN HOLY HELL IT JUST GAINED A HALO.

Well, it sounds like it has some action at least.

....Gendo is a fucking idiot. Shinji is nothing like his old man and in this he's nothing like his old man either. Thank god too, because Shinji was a total badass for the last few minutes.

Now if it were canon I could forgive his character entirely.

The last 27 minutes had a shitload of it. I wouldn't be...*Looks at the Gurren-Lagann Movie*

Never mind.

Good point. I can now forgive SHinji for all of the whining he did.

I was genuinely asking, not sarcastically making a point.

I'm not all that familiar with Eva, but I take it Shinji has gone from "I'm so fucked up" to "I'M GONNA FUCK YOU UP"?

Shinji just does whatever everybody doesn't want him to do. Whenever they're like "Get out there and help!" he's all "My life is saaaaaaad", and when they're going "STOP SHINJI!" he's all "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGAHHGAHHHHGHHHHHSOBSOBSOBCRYCRYCRYAAHAHGAAAAAAAAAA!"

Oh...I have no idea. But Sadomoto wrote the manga and apparently he's directing the movies too.

That explains why this time around it's Shinji with Rei and not Asuka for the eleventy-billionth time.

Oh and here's a post from /a/ that pretty much sums up the movie on Asuka's half.

An anon replying to another anon that says this movie shits on Asuka wrote:

I don't get why you seem to think this movie shits on her. She gets
plenty of interaction with Shinji, they even get to share a bed, she's
less clinically depressed this time around and overall better
off...then she gets eaten. Which would be a BAD END normally, but we
get Pirate Asuka so it's fine. Also her "death" is partly responsible
for manly Shinji because he doesn't want to lose another person he
cares about. So in short we get GAR Shinji, Pirate Asuka, Moe Rei, and
Batshit Mari. I don't really see the problem here.

Oh, Wiki has the entire story.

If Shinji really does man up.. And that is a pretty sizable "if"... I may actually enjoy this series of EVA.

Don't think it's a series.

A_Nonny_Moose wrote:

It's a series of 4 movies that are sequels of one another.

This is the second movie and apparently they're going for a Rei End and Anno is directing.

WHAT PERSON DIED TO MAKE ANNO GET SOME SENSE KNOCKED INTO HIM TO MAKE A REI END?

They should be elected for Sainthood.

What do you mean a Rei End? An ending where she's alive?

A_Nonny_Moose wrote:

Basically she lives and ends up with Shinji.

Then again there's still two movies to go and Anno being the sadistic bastard he is will find a way to fuck this up.

But, like, isn't Shinji's sister or something? Or a clone of his mother? Some shit like that.

A clone of his mother yes, but technically his half-sister.
