I have been trying to read books again but every time I pick something up I get really bored. I guess I’m super picky when it comes to reading material. I bought this one on a whim but I think I might be regretting it now. However, I went ahead and rented the movie to see if I should finish it.

There will be spoilers, don’t read unless you have already read the book or seen the movie.

Evangelion 1.0

I finally got around to watching the first Evangelion Rebuild movie. I have always been a big fan of NGE so I was excited to learn about the rebuilds.

I was not let down at all. Even though the funny stuff was taken out so they could focus on the battles and some of the voices are no longer than same, I still loved it. The way they redid a lot of the battles was awesome but I would have to say the last battle was my favorite.

I really like the way they did the angel, it was more than just a lame looking cube. xD Not only did the angles and Eva look a lot more cool but the emotional scenes with Shinji were much better. It made you really feel for him instead of just think he is a cry baby.

Things that happened to Shinji seemed a lot more painful than they were before, especially in the last battle. I was on the edge of my seat even though I already know what is going to happen from watching the series a number of times.

If you are a true NGE fan then you don’t want to miss this. However, if this series wasn’t for you then you might not care for it.

I have high hopes for the rest of the rebuilds and I can’t wait to see what new ending they have in store for us.
