The Weekly Stuff #390 – Rebuild of Evangelion Film Tetralogy Review & Discussion

<p>Almost two years ago, we reviewed <i>Neon Genesis Evangelion </i>upon its Netflix streaming debut, and promised that we’d come back to discuss <i>Eva </i>again if and when the 4-film <i>Rebuild of Evangelion </i>project was ever finished. And with the final film in Hideaki Anno’s lifelong passion project, <i>Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0: Thrice Upon a Time, </i>now streaming worldwide (alongside the first three films) on Amazon Prime, we’re keeping our word and then some, with our longest <i>Weekly Suit Gundam </i>episode to date! We discuss all four films in the <i>Rebuild </i>project, diving deep into how these masterpieces fully realize the magic that was always there in <i>Evangelion, </i>but for us at least was held beneath the surface by frustrating and limiting creative choices in the original series. These are great, beautifully told, stunningly animated productions that give Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Misato, and everyone else the fully realized character arcs they’ve always deserved, and ends in a place that feels like <i>Evangelion </i>has finally found the conclusion it was always searching for. And that’s more than enough to fill a super-sized podcast.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQBqje0qmCVn0WkCXJzckaA"><strong>Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://anchor.fm/weeklysuitgundam"><strong>Subscribe to the WEEKLY SUIT GUNDAM Podcast!</strong></a></p><p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wgtc-radio-we-got-this-covered/id535584943"><strong>Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in Apple Podcasts!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/JonathanLack"><strong>Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/SeanTheChapman"><strong>Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!</strong></a></p><p> </p>
