First of all its a MUST_READ!!!! Secondly, I'm quiet sorry EVA that it took me 4 years to watch you due to unsatisfied reviews that came upon you. Thirdly, thanks a lot for this masterpiece. Here's what is important to understand when watching any of the EVAs. It is not the storytelling that is displayed for the viewvers; it is however the subliminal messages that are told. And the most important one that was displayed seems to be missed by most of us. The major message in 3.0 was to display what happenes to us when we get stuck in our heads and refuse to move on with ourlives. "You can (not) redo the past or who you are and what we've done or the things we miss the most. What is important is accepting yourself, letting go and keep moving forward.
Everything we see in 3.0 happens in the head of Shinji. His battling and attempts to save himself. And he believes he can save himself by saving others, where in fact you can only help others help themselves, but the rest has to be done ourselves. In fact we are told that everything happens 14 years after he became on with eva. Which holds two meanings on display: 1) Even though it has past 14 years since the tv-series and the movies, nothing truly changed. We are still humnas fighting our own battles and struggles in the mysterious universe. 2) Nothing we see in 3.0 seems to be real. We know that Neon Genesis ended on the note that Shinji didnt make a perfect world as his father dreamed of or he himself wished for. In fact he accepted the things the are ment to be and decided to step into the world with a fresh prespective; the one, in which he doesnt have to believe anymore that he is alone. In fact, he is loved and loves others. If that was the true ending of our beloved show, in that case everything that we see in 3.0 is still the same battle we saw Shinji going through in his mind in Neon Genesis, just from different prespective. Fresh prespective for the people who grew up on this show, yet the same MESSAGE. The way they did it, was surprisigly equally unique yet different to what we had experienced before. The fact that Shinji's world gets worse everytime he thinks he finnaly gets to be the hero he wants to be and saves everyone he loves; and the fact that writers managed to show us neverending struggles he is going through in his little world, deserves an Award for creativity. However, it is us, teh veiwers that are questioned to waht extent we are ready to close down in order to run away from problems. Im truly surprised that viewers missed the fact that the whole movie was adressed to us. We are simply told, the longer we run away from our issues the less realistic our world becomes and the more we start to shut down in ourselves. Just like waht happens to Shinji, as his world becomes more and more inconsistent adn unrealistic as he fails to face his own demons.

Sorry for the bad English, and hopefully my review helped you guys to clarify the confusion 3.0 created. To be honest, thats my frist and probably last review as me supaaaaalazyyyy. I felt a huge need to write one as the reviews below unjustify a masterpiece that it is.

Evangelion. Still the best of his own and definitely immortal in time.
