As long as it’s not Anno. I love the OG series, but I’m sorry man, Rebuild of Eva was a complete clusterfuck.
Doubt he will have anything to do with it after this:
Well Gainax didnt have Evangelion rights, it was transferred to khara a while ago, which is his company.
I didn't know he owned the new studio, but he is not the writers though for the new anime.
I actually enjoyed Rebuild and I watched the original series and End Of Eva over a decade ago. But I can totally see why Rebuild wasn't liked by a significant portion of the fandom.
I also liked it, but it doesn't replace the original series. Its just an alternate retelling of the story.
To me, its the same as the Super Dimension Fortress Macross tv series, and the Macross Do You Remember Love? movie. Neither is better or replaces the other, they are just alternate retellings of the same story. In the same way that two different war veterans might describe the same battle differently, even though the same major story elements occur in each.
I'm sure Yoko Taro is going to give us a happy ending with all characters remaining alive.
Maybe if we fight against them in a bullet hell we can have a happy ending.
lol really beating the dead horse now - but I love evangelion
