Short, non-spoiler reviews and hot takes of anime for the newly initiated weeb.
An amazing finale that delivers on everything the series is, while being worthy of a full-length movie as it does a deep dive into the challenges of overcoming psychological stumbling blocks to a relationship.
Fantastic animation and some fun new lore tidbits, but didn’t quite feel canonically worthy of “Being a Movie” as opposed to an OVA arc.
A solid, definitive ending to a solid series that sets the bar for what harem romance anime can be.
A reframing/retelling of the main series that is slightly more condensed, and with a tiny amount of new content/story. Not suitable to watch "instead of" the main series, but to be done after.
A wholesome, feel-good, low-stress adorable piece that channels the essence of teenage summer.
A magical and soul-stirring piece with beauty musically, emotionally, and artistically.
A fantastic prequel with a slightly more serious tone than the original series, and fantastic acting and animation.
An important, seminal cyberpunk experience that has aged a little since 1995, but still an interesting piece that cements the genre.
Finally a satisfying, well-balanced, cathartic finale to all Evangelion.
All new story from the series at this point, though a lot of the character development is the same, and primarily focuses on Shinji.
