Considering most of the great talent left Gainax to form Studio Trigger (an animation company with way more interesting anime), I certainly don't. Looks meh and the franchise is going to end with a whimper or loud fart knocking in the wind.
The Rebuild movies are only produced by the decrepit shell that is Gainax; the actual animation is done by Anno's own studio, Khara, which has worked on other things here and there but to all intents and purposes only exists to make Rebuild.

That sucks hard. I am so glad most of the others left to form Studio Trigger. They are at least making interesting and entertaining anime.

Yes, and it's my opinion. If you think differently, I don't care, and Trigger most definitely do not care. They're the anime equivalent of Platinum Games and I love them for it. They always do their own thang and not constantly following what's hot or popular. I respect them for going out of their way to standout and just have fun with good stories to boot.

Was Kare Kano one of their side projects? I remember hearing excellent things about it.

And yet you are here, to make sure we know you don't care.
You're point? You're that started the "opinion" response. We have differeing opinions, whoopeee-doo. I don't consider it a big fucking deal. Weclome to life and the real world.

@Casual Shinji asked everyone, and I simply gave my answer. Nothing more. You care for the entire Evangelion show and cast you do that with pride. I hold nothing against and respect you for that. I only wish you do the same for me. While you care about them, I'll care about the anime and shows I watch and enjoy. Thank you and have a wonderful evening.

I think that's a tad bit unfair.

Studio Khara and Trigger both suck equally. Khara for making a weird, weeboo version of neon genesis for perverts, and trigger for making fanservice for fat, Japanese otaku with short attention spans. Panty and Stocking and Kill la Kill are amongst the most poorly made anime series thus far. And don't even get me started on whatever the hell Sex & Violence with Machspeed was. The humor is on the level of Family Guy, filled with sex and fecal matter jokes, and the pacing is so fast paced, it feels like its made for an audience with no attention span. They need something stimulating every milisecond, or they can't pay attention. Just look at how bad the animation is:


I can't imagine why people are such big fans of the studio

Ew, Darling in the Fuxx.
You just don't get it, crimsons. It's actually a metaphor about puberty, and not being ashamed of your sexuality. Just like kill la kill. It's so deep.

Though, honestly, weebs could do with a little shame. They're way to quick to tell everyone about their fetishes, regardless of whether they asked.

It's not even that, it's about making babies.

No, Gainax made that right after End of Evangelion, I think.

And yes, it is quite good, but it has some issues. It's a romance anime that doesn't waste your time, so that's good. But it suffers heavily from budget constraints. Anno is a good enough director to work around that, giving the visuals a certain minimalist charm. Get ready for a lot of slow paning shots of banal scenery though, like bike racks and umbrella stands, while characters wax poetically about love and life. I think it's also animated by the same people who would later make Fooly Cooly, and you can already recognize a lot of the expressions.

The characters are likeable, the music is great, and it's pretty damn funny too. Things take a major dip near the end though. There's also a moment where one of the high school girls (16 years old) casually mentions she's dating a 28-year old dentist, which... fucking yikes.

Goddamn it, black flagged at the finish.

Good for you, that's your opinion. Tell it to some one who cares. Kill La Kill I like fan-service aside, because they make characters with personalities that actually develop. Their animation ain't always perfect, but they at least bother to standout in a homoginized market with their exaggerated stylized art and animation style. I ain't one of those idiots who claim that Trigger "saved" anime unironically, but I do like their output. Especially KLK and Promare. Darling in the Franxx, I admit to having little interests, but if I had a gun to my head, I would take it any time over Evangelion. Deal with it.
