Personally I felt that this movie is simply amazing...epic epic epic epic! They've changed so much from the original yet it still manages to keep the general feel of the original, yet it feels completely fresh and I don't think there is anything wrong with the pacing if you are already familiar with the original. This simply improves on the original story in a different scenario and I think it is nothing short of genius and is pure entertainment. There personalities of the characters have also changed but for the better I'd say. Yet it isn't void of any emotional depth either. Simply loved it!

it was okay overall, i guess. the deviation from the original somewhat compensates for the rushed plot, flat characters and some stupid phrases.
the 2nd hour was awesome, i was on edge for the rest of the movie. too bad the first hour was boring as hell. didnt like the new character designs, the faces were kinda long and thin. nothing bad to say about battle scenes, they were pure win. backgrounds were well done. but the whole animation style felt "cold", but this is probably just me. i liked the voices from the original too much, so every 3 min i would cringe at how childish misato sounded and how shinji had a girls voice. i might even rewatch this...

Yeah really, the entire cast are still the same (even the Seele members). And yes Shinji was always voiced by a female seiyuu.
Anyway when will the third movie be out in Japan? I could have sworn the release date is this summer but now that I check wiki/ANN I couldn't find a date. Has the third movie been delayed?

As a true fan of the original eva i didin't really like the movie so much. The entire cast felt so out of character... somehow shallow and happy compared to the original.
Mari was a total fanservice character...i didn't like her at all. Spoiler for stuff:

If you can just treat the films as a their own story (which they are), then i don't think you'd end up having the problems you are experiencing.

Ah well I guess you just take it for what it is...A more modern quick and dirty re-telling of the old story...With the short amount of time they have compared to the TV series it was never gonna top it for emotional depth to begin with so this approach is fine for me as something different.

What if Shinji not act like on TV series ? What if the entire series became more stereotypical ? Will that make this title looked better and have the same feel ? I guess Anno take that as challenge, and launch this project. Not many title have this kind of treatment like this title have... And have alternate version for title that have great storyline concept like this one is always nice for me, unless they make 3rd remake project and so on in the future

What becomes popular is something that is unique in some way, not something stereotypical.

I much prefer this version of the story so far.
The original felt like it was trying too hard for emotionally complexity and went too extreme. Also felt like it lacked direction. I respect what it did for anime, but on the whole I didn't enjoy it at all.
