What are your guys thoughts on the original Evangelion series (+ EoE)? What about the Rebuild movies?
I'm not a 'massive fan' of Evangelion, but I liked the original series. Some episodes were rather dull (that one microscopic angel was retarded) but some of it was good. Definitely a good series, but it's not one of my favourites or anything.
The rebuild movies are kinda meh. I absolutely loved 1.0; seeing the first episodes of the original series reanimated with much better fight scenes (Ramiel looked -blam!-ing awesome) was quite cool, and I actually prefer the first rebuild movie to the first episodes of the original.
I didn't really like the 2.0. I didn't like what they changed, like Asuka replacing Toji as the fourth child. I felt that scene was done much better in the original series. The fight scenes were still pretty amazing, though; [url=http://i.imgur.com/PVBVAhE.jpg]especially this scene.[/url]
3.0 was meh. It started off sorta cool but I honestly didn't really like it that much.
I still have hope that 4.0 will be good. The ending has alot of potential, considering all the hints that the Rebuild movies are actually a sequel to the original series. Along with the pic attached to my post, there is also [url=http://i.4cdn.org/a/src/1385924564087.jpg]this[/url] one. So hopefully 4.0 will redeem the rebuild series somehow.
So, what do you guys think of the NGE and the Rebuild movies?

Evangelion is by far my favorite anime of all time. I just recently rewatched the original series and EoE and I'm always so happy with everything about it. I absolutely adore the work put into the new Rebuild movies, but I have to say, unless they pull something crazy awesome with the last part, I'm not sure if I will like it as a whole. I think the only thing that could save it would be if it does in fact turn out to be a crazy twisty time loop thing, but from all I understand that doesn't seem to make much sense...
