it had the typical Evangelion trend to obfuscate for no particular reason, but this was much more coherent than the third reboot movie (I said above I tapped out in the second, but the second was good...third was very bad).

it's a solid companion piece to the original series and movies but doesn't replace them by any stretch. some of the big changes are interesting, others I didn't like so much, the action was top notch and the ending was actually uplifting and puts a bow on Evangelion forever.
