Review of Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo

"Wow." You know when to say this word when you are actually watching an anime or reading a manga. And this is my true thoughts about Evangelion 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo. Basically this movie is the sequel of Evangelion 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance which occurred 14 years after the Third Impact. Well, our main character Shinji just woke up after fourteen years and have to dealt his current situation where everyone despise him. Befriending Kaworu Nagisa, he still have the chance to save the world from the next impact. Time skip is literally annoying for some anime. In this movie, you will be confused whatthe heck happened the past 14 years and why people whom Shinji protected from Angels betrayed him and why Rei didn't knew that he saves her from the last movie. The story is very good because you will wonder what did happened? 8/10

The animation is still solid and more improved in this film. The use of 3D animation is pretty good here and for dark animes, the dark scenes are good and the fighting scenes are pretty epic. But the scene that stood out for me here is the piano scene, the scenery is pretty relaxing to here. 10/10

The use of recyclable sounds from the original series here is noticeable. I thought that the sounds are pretty good here. The ED song by Hikaru Utada is relaxing to hear. And for the voicing acting, Maaya Sakamoto did a great job for voicing Mari. 9/10

The characters. I'll not spoil a lot about the characters but I'll just say one thing, most of them changed expect Shinji, Kaworu and Mari. I nearly hated Misato, Asuka and Rei here to be honest. Those three were shoehorned and making you wonder 'why?'. But Asuka is an exception because she became a total baddass here and I also think that she still linger feelings for Shinji as much what 2.0 hinted about her. And yes, I was reminded that those three became secondary characters so I hope they will have big role in the final movie especially Mari and Asuka.

Shinji is still same but actually he kinda grew up in this film. But Kaworu, I still love his character but I wish they explored more about his character because I love his bond with Shinji (although it was kinda gay at some points). 7/10

Overall, Evangelion 3.0 is pretty enjoyable characters. You'll be at the verge of liking it or hating it and truly, Evangelion (and NGE as well) is a masterpiece. 8/10

And please excuse me while I'm having some serious mental breakdown here.
