Review of Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo

I want to start off by saying that the first two Rebuilds have set the standard for me in terms of reimagining one of my favourite anime of all time. Now wrap that around your heads as we dive into the absolute shitstorm of mediocrity and needless stringing along of the so-called twists. This is not Evangelion. This is a glorified Evangelion FANFICTION. And a terrible one at that. I'm not even kidding! I've read DOZENS of fanfics BETTER than this crap! What kept me going, you ask? Well, for one, the hope of it getting better as it went along at its jerky, yet somehow still snail-like pace. Thiswas partially realized as a certain character reveal actually blew my mind. What can I say, I was genuinely surprised.

Aaand then just like that, the magic was gone.

I cannot go on talking about it without spoiling the entire thing, but let's just say that the current Rebuild takes everything that made the first two so great... and puts it all through a meatgrinder. Repeatedly.

Oh well, at least Rei is back.
Or is she?
Spoilers!
