Why don't you stop sniffing people and jiggling your titties everywhere you dirty skank!
Being an Eva fan since the year 2000, and an Asuka fan, I can’t help but be filled with rage at wtf they did in the 2nd movie. Spoilers in my rage after the jump.
Aside from removing the Asuka pantsu flash scene completely changing Asuka’s character (like she had pretty much 0 interest in Kaji wtf???), they even replaced her during the Eva unit 4 goes berserk scene (with let me tell you how incredibly inappropriate that music was….) I mean it’s not that I’m dying to kill Touji or anything here (he did die in the manga after all), but come on killing off Asuka? (Alright they didn’t kill her, she comes back as a pirate in the next movie apparently 
) And what the hell giving Rei emotions? Now she wants to have jolly dinner and make bentos? Wtf is this shit ヽ(｀･Д･´)ﾉｺﾞﾙｧ!! Well I didn’t mind that they made Asuka stop being clingy to Kaji, and well I was certainly a happy fangirl when Asuka crawled into Shinji’s closet room, but wtf at the ending. THE BREAST BEAST! Well I gotta give props to Sakamoto Maaya’s English, but I don’t like Mari stealing Asuka’s spotlight honestly. Now if you excuse me, I’ll just be reliving the ORIGINAL End of Eva movie in my head.
I’ll forgive them, if in the next movie… I get an Asuka and Shinji kiss scene remake
(･`ε･´●)
JP’s Thoughts:
Ahem.
Did the original series have PIRATE ASUKA?
Did the original series have ZA B(R)EAST?
Did the original series have Kaji buttsecksing Shinji during their mandate?
Did the original series have Kaji eyeing Misato’s ass when she went to answer her phone?
Did the original have transparent plugsuits?
Did the original have Kaoru…IN SPACE?
Did the original have Pen Pen going on a field trip?
Did the original have a beer can joke…oh wait, nevermind.
That all said, my only real complaint was that it felt a smidge too long (even though it was only about 1:45 long). The beginning seemed to go on way too long (yes, I laughed at the field trip, but that really didn’t need to be there), and it felt like there was maybe one big fight or two small fights more than the movie really needed. But what fights they were!
In other words, it was much closer to Lord of the Rings than Star Wars: Episode 1.
This is why I took no interest in the rehash. The abridged summary:
No new ideas – therefore revisit old show and remake it.
well, I liked the original TV series, was lukewarm about the first movie but I will see it for the sake of completeness…
*shrug* It’s not like they went and forbade you from ever going back and rewatching the TV show should you ever wish to. Really, if they are going to insist on spending all that money making a new version of Eva, I’d rather they went all crazy about it like this. Honestly, the first time I saw it, 1.0 kind of bored me through sheer overfamiliarity. 2.0, on the other hand, was kind of super exciting for me.
I agree the first movie was a TV series clone so it was kinda boring. Don’t get me wrong, I think there were some positives and good changes made, but the changes for my favorite character greatly impacted my negative opinion of the movie. It just kinda felt like a slap in the face to Asuka fans. It felt like they trashed her just to get Mari and her tits in there =/
what jp said
Honestly, the whole franchise was always too FTW IS THIS SHIT for me, so I was like “meh, crap movie, meh”. Plus, you can sex-up the animation, but not the characters’ design (crayon shin-chan called, he wants his eyebrows back).
IN OTHER NEWS! ALL NEW KINDA SORTA ENGLISH OTOME GAME by Hanako Games?
The art is crayon-shin-chan as usual, but it’s a surprisingly good story with surprisingly endearing characters, even if it did had “THE DEVELOPERS PLAYED EVER 17″ sprayed all over it.
P.S. I’m on CAPS LOCK RUSH!
I could barely stand Shinji the first time I watched it waaaay back when, there’s no way I’m watching his whiny ass all over again.
Shinji was kind of gar at points this time.
hmmm JP has me really interested now… on a level of TV series Asuka vs serial production Eva’s?
It’s just me or this Asuka is anorexic? It’s like they made her uglier on purpose because Mari had to be pretty *sigh*. That bitch is ANNOYING.
And the unfitting music reminded me of Christmas Carols sang by 5-year old brats and I was laughing like a moron during the whole scene and it lost all the emotional impact. But it got worse at the ending song. Listening to Utada Hikaru was like remembering Kingdom Hearts II and Sora running towards Riku at the game’s opening.
Speaking of gay scenes, the most amusing part was when Kaworu went into his Gundam… err.. Eva and said he was going to make Shinji happy. Screw Rei, it’s buttsecks time! Btw, WTF was he doing nekkid in the moon? Fanservice? XD.
lol yea that’s a good question. maybe he’s like “i’m an angel, i need no clothes”
At least Asuka is all “patched” up in time for the next movie
Lack of time certainly limits the development of the characters, but I still wonder why they alter the characters so much. I don’t care too much about the Kagi part, but to think that Asuka will meekly accept sealing off Unit 02 without doing anything is strange. They even have her asking to paint unit05 red if the test is a success. Why is she giving up her Unit 02? Didn’t she bragged about her Unit 02 at the start? Where is the prideful and self-centered Asuka?
But the worst is that they even have Mari pilot Unit 02. Aside from her stealing Asuka’s light, the more sinister undertone is the implication that Asuka is replaceable, which is totally an intrusion into the AT field of Asuka fans.
Alas, what did they do to that pair of beautiful blue eyes?!
