4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable alternative to the mind-numbing series, November 25, 2006

A Kid's Review

As a fan of the original anime, I really enjoy this new take on the story. But a big part of it is how very different it is from the original. Having viewed the deep, depressing series, as well as the movie conclusion, End of Evangelion, it is fun to see the familiar characters thrown into hilarious situations, which usually involve Asuka and Rei fighting over Shinji. The characters are for the most part unchanged, except for Rei, whose giddy personality is the polar opposite of her sad, disinterested appearance in the original.
I'm sure any manga fan will enjoy this, but being familiar with Hideaki Anno's original masterpiece can only help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yay! Love Triangles!, January 21, 2007

By	Kuroda Taiki "Taiki" - See all my reviews

Yeah, this evangelion was a blast to start off, can't wait to finish it. Come on, didn't you wanna know what would it have been like if Asuka didn't come from such a bad background, or if Shinji still had his mom, Yui around? Or if Gendo was more....humane? Or Rei being such a cheery and bright girl, unlike the cold clones that were so loyal to Gendo in the original canon. Or if Asuka and Rei acted like sisterly yet strong rivals for the love of the naive Shinji?
Yeah, you know Shinji becomes the usual guy in such a stereotypical timid/nice guy. The only real thing keeping this story alive is the newly "renovated" relationships. Asuka and Rei interactions really drive this home, Rei is just so cute trying get with Shinji, and Asuka at the same time jealously keeping her off him because she wants Shinji to herself. Everybody has been reintroduced....except for Pen-pen, poor pen-pen.
Well I gave it 5 stars because it's EVANGELION after all. And I've always wanted to see everyone in a happier-normal setting.
