SquereEnix didnt went cheap on this one.
Visual is decent, story is interesting, NGE inspiration is clear and VA all star meeting.
Are you familiar with the joke what starts like this:
"Okarun listening a conversation between Violet and Frieren who looks like Maomao, while Maomao flying around as a robot?"
The joke is, this isn't a joke and there is more, mark my word.
Sound preaty enjoyable, right?
However i never played Nier, i wartched few hours longplay, til the amusement park.
Based on that experience, the show is authenticly remade the game's key elements, events and bosses.

I liked it, for an adaptation is better than 7.5

I can say i liked this movie.
Almost every piece of the story telling is near perfect at worst. What is a rare experience.
But still, i have ambivalent feelings about the ending, what's not a problem at all. Let me explain.

From one hand, as a viewer i feel myself deceived.
However at the beginning of the series i tought this will be a romantic story, where the girl try to find his boi while traveling and understand herself, later i became uncertain.
When Violet and Leon went to stargaze, Violet interrupted Leon's enlightenment about her feelings. I tought, this is an indication from the writers to not ...

I genuinely don't know what did i saw.
Is this still Anno's legacy, his own ideas and vision?
I really dont know what happened IRL with him, or this frenchise, but that was awfull.

NGE and EoE together was able to tell a coherent story, what felt whole and thoughtful. I'm not saying, i understand every layer, reference, motivation of the charakters and symbolism, BUT (and this is a big fat BUT) i felt the logic and meaning behind it.
Every person carried its own past, made decisions based on that and their own knowledge or gut. Their decisions has weight and consequence. They are almost felt real.
Some ...

I. Cried.
The beggining was solid, they are built great base for Violet and strong setting for everyone else.
But... i don't know what happened from the 7th episode. The writer and story just kicked my home's door in, started to punch my stomach and lungs, then the VAs, animators and sound dept joined to shock my hearth til i broke for the 10th episode and i just wasnt able to hold anymore.
They, the whole team made it that episode so strong which I wasn't prepared for. Amazing.
My only downs is the last 2 epised. If that story arc somehow precedes the 10th and 11th that would ...

I wasn't a huge fan of the first Rebuild movie and this Rebuild series wasn't excited me at all from the beggining, but the second movie is unexpectidly blasted my face with pure and original Neon Genesis Evangelionism. Such a hit.
Then came this. Unexpectidly blasted my face with a belove average, half backed characters and story.
It looks like, sounds like and moving like a duck, but this ins't a duck. Isn't Evangelion at all.

While the original Evangelion and the 2.0 focused on character build, storytelling, attachments to the viewer and used EVAs and military props as tools, this thing did the same as the 1.0. ...

Everyone, on every platform already told why this is the "best of the best, peak, gamechanger, 10/10" anime of the decade.
I will spare your time, i wont do this however its probably true. My approach and perspective is, personal.

I stoped watching animes like 15 years ago, becaus what Animax offered was repetative and my poor english knowledge and lack of fast reading capabilities limited my options, so i abandoned this form of self-entertainment.
However not so long ago, i became curious how a racist stamped anime like this, able to rule every toplists, gain popcult status instead of vanishing for good.
Than i faced the same feeling ...

Educated experts sad "Its like Nichijou". Nichijou from temu at best.
Osaka-san at the end very well summarised what happened in the entire show.
Chiyo-chan gained few cetimeters in hight, Sakaki-san in chest.

It had its moments ...a few, but mostly just girls and women screamed or shouted, sometimes to eachother.
Absolutely no one, not a single charachter developed a tiny bit by anymean.
It hadn't said anything meaningfull about lonelyness, love, friendship, decision making, strugling... caring... BUT ALL OF THIS, IS IN THE SHOW! For the fuck sake... sometimes a character raised the actual interesting question, with her mouth!
BUT! When the slightliest opportunity appeared to try to tell a ...

This interpretaition or remaster of the original is pissed me off so much i need to write down my thoughts.
It contains nice additional scenes what help to understand the backstory, but misses key elements.
Like the contrast between the reactions of Shinji's classmates, and Touji's anger. Or the struggle when Shinji left the base and his encounter with Aida.
And Misato....... what the hell happened with the motherfigure on the cutting table?
This scenes are important to understand Shinjis perspective on the situation and his self-assessment.
Insted of this, we got extended shots from preparation of the positron gun, unneseserly long scenes from the Angel transformations and comicly long ...
