Maybe most of you knew about the new Evangelion movies coming out in Japan later this year, but I just found out about it. Apparently they're a retelling of the original story plus a new ending....ugh!

Why in the name of all that is holy are they still beating this dead horse. I like Evangelion enough, but I've never sat around thinking, god I would just kill for a new Evangelion.

I have, on the other hand, thought Gosh, I would love more Twelve Kingdoms, or Utena, or Nausicca, or anything other than more Evangelion for peet sake!

kinda hard to pass judgement before we've seen any of it at all - my guess is the ending isn't going to be different but one that makes more sense to a person who doesn't look at it on a really high symbolic level.

Perhaps this time around they won't spoiler[kill off all the supporting characters].

But I can understand why Anno would wanna remake it, there's probably alot of things he wants to improve upon, and maybe answer all those questions that he never got around to addressing the first time around spoiler[like who killed Kaji?] Besides, I'm sure he got offered a huge paycheck.

The Evangelion movies might end up like Episodes I,II,III of Star Wars, they claim to be better than the originals, but they suck even more. Let's just hope the NGE movies won't end up like this.

God, I sure hope that doesn't happen. If the Evangelion movies are the caliber of the Star Wars episodes I and II, man that would suck. The SW prequels meant well, but they didn't really get it right until Episode III. Episode III was awesome.
