@@TakonoTakoUwU I still cant believe that Rei and Kaworu were actually spared for once! I had pretty much zero hope for their survival. After the 3rd movie was so bleak/sad, my hopes had shrunk to the point where I'd have considered "Rei has any sort of significance at all, maybe a brief farewell scene" and/or "Shinji dies peacefully instead of getting a fate worse than death" an outcome worth rejoicing.
It seems to me that one or two ordinary babushka`s in the life of each of the EVA pilots would completely ruin Gendo's plan. It is not so easy to be in melancholy if every day you will have pies, borsch, grandma, her cats and care waiting for you at home.
The whole movie was an absolute wholesome and truly enjoyable experience, even the traumatic, epileptic seizures of the final battle, EVEN THAT was amazing.
@@quattrobajeena8623 yep, that was what caused the movie’s tone to take something of a nosedive like…. What happened in the original series…. At least she’s also only dead in airquotes this time too
After seeing the original series in its premiere, this Rei clone just touched my heart. She is very pure, nice to Shinji and and his final scene hurt me too much, more than all the deaths in the Evangelion universe.
You should see the ones from the fanfic "Nobody Dies". They're all hyper, manic, each pursues their own hobby (including one that likes blowing things up, one that wants to be a mad scientist, and one that does a French Maid schtick and is dead-set on seducing Shinji), and use the NERV air vents like xenomorphs.
@@4idenn Don't even mention that dogshit manga.Every chapter is literally the same thing throughout the 18 friggin volume,even the ending was also the same shit on every chapter except with "guess I'll leave the rest to the readers" complex. I'm pretty sure the eva community will hate the creators if they dropped an anime version of it.
Her story and interaction with the real world around her made it so interesting. It literally made me shed a bunch of tears when Rei made friends and experience stuff she never get to interact ever in her life. It’s so adorable and charming
I love how many of the comments in this video starts with "I love how..." Thanks for the good comments! And thanks also to my many (surprisingly) japanese viewers!
The village act of this movie was something I didn’t know I needed. Rei’s development is so meaningful and so rewarding to see as a fan of this franchise. This movie is amazing as it gives you what you already loved about evangelion (the deep introspection of the instrumentality scene) and something so foreign to eva fans: happiness, and the soft forgiving side of human nature. After I watching I remember thinking wow I really didn’t know seeing shinji finally grow as a person would hit me so hard. I know this is a weird place for an essay on the movie but man I love it, and particularly the village scenes with rei.
This is not an essay. I hate how one paragraph is dumbly called a "essay" I would argue shinji did grow realistically in the old as far as a REAL 14 yr would. these guys having the plot of "they look 14 but are x years" didn't sit right with me, nor various other changes. That aside, I loved shinji sticking up for rei trying to save her.
I cried 3 times in this movie. At the start becouse i couldn't believe i was actually watching it after so many years When Rei died At the end,.becouse everyone deserved a happy ending, even Gendo.
@@TakonoTakoUwU I'm not really crying but a lot of tears drop from my eyes when i see Shinji forgive Gendo, and Gendo finally meet Yui.. i don't expect a happy ending from Evangelion...
I swear i always assume Rei thinking about the world itself curious about certain things like other livings in life like the cat is pregnant, planting plants on the ground etc. I love Rei being curiosity
sounds weird but it was so bittersweet in the scene where the mom was breastfeeding and she grabbed at her own with curiosity. she was just a girl learning and exploring a world she’d never understood before. she deserved better. 😭
Imagine this Rei after dying, she gets isekai-ed into a fantasy world, gains OP farming skills and becomes a farmer. Of course, Rei also retain some of her Angel abilities to fight off anyone dumb enough to mess with her.
While Rei from the original series has a special place in my heart, this version of her was just so heartwarming, being so much more curious and willing to learn. I'd say that she is the most "human" rei out of all of the Rei series (at least in the animated series and rebuilds)
Hayashibara Megumi would have been the most fit actor to perform Mikasa Ackerman when she was born in the 1980s in the same age as Kaji Yuki and Inoue Marina. as Mikasa got lots of inspirations from Ayanami Rei. She is the great senpai of all cool-beauty type heroine characters of japanimation.
Oh Rei there's so much you need to catch up on. Resident Evil, new Soul Calibur, The Sims, WWE, they made new Star Wars movies, Kim Possible, 24, someone actually made you up in Mass Effect, Buffy died and came back, there's the trailer for Dead Island, Dragon Age, Overwatch, Game of Thrones, Skyrim, Ace Combat, XCOM returned, Breaking Bad...
I love Rei Q. I think for the short amount of time she was in the Rebuild series, she had the most human character growth. It was precious. I only wish we got more of her.
I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.
I really wouldn't mind if the last Rebuild would throw all the garbage that comes in the last 30 minutes to make a 2 and a half hour long movie about Rei who tries to understand humans
Yeah, like the last episodes of the original series. Just a view into farmer Rei's mind and seeing this character do stuff while the crazy sh*t happens in the background.
