Evangleion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time (2021, dir. Hideaki Anno) - review by Rookie-Critic
Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, wow what a title, was a very fitting end to a franchise that has had people scratching their heads for decades. This film manages to somehow wrap up a lot of character conflicts and plot pieces that the original chose to ignore, while at the same time choosing not to answer many other questions this new Evangelion series of films (dubbed the Rebuild films) raised itself throughout its 4-movie run. Keeping in the true spirit of Eva, there are things that are confusing as hell. Terms that have never been used or mentioned before are dropped like a sack of bricks without explanation, treated as a completely normal thing to say, and then absolutely never brought up again. It is the one thing about this franchise that I have always found maddening. However, Hideaki Anno, the creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion, has matured a lot since he wrapped up his original series back in 1997 with the very pessimistic, nihilistic End of Evangelion film. That isn't meant as a slight to End of Eva, I hold that film very near and dear to my heart and consider it a very good film in its own right, but it is what it is, and mostly it's a wild, confusing mess that ends on a note of "flawed people will try with good intentions, and they will fail, and they will learn very little from it."
Here, Anno ops for a much more optimistic path, one that chooses to dive as deep as possible into its characters' respective shortcomings, examine them, and have those characters face them head-on. Even the most irredeemable, piece of trash characters from the original series (if you've seen any Eva anything you all know exactly who I'm referring to) gets their chance in the emotionally analytical spotlight, and it's that exact analysis that sets the Rebuild films apart from their predecessor in the best way possible. As cliche as it is, the very root of this film is that old adage "hurt people hurt people," and they especially hurt those that are closest to them. However, instead of just stopping dead at the end of that statement, Anno then tacks on "but we can all better ourselves, and it's never too late to fix those frayed or broken ties, even if they're with yourself." It's almost as if the franchise has recognized its own shortcomings and meta-narratively acknowledged them; attempting (and succeeding, might I add) to better itself. Maybe the unanswered questions are an acknowledgement that it is still imperfect, as we all are, and that nothing and no one is ever truly done growing, done learning, done adapting. The Evangelion franchise, in its own weird, convoluted, and beautiful way, has managed to reflect humanity in a way I haven't quite ever seen before, and it's certainly awe-inspriring.
Score: 9/10
Currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
P.S. and a HUGE DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a stand alone film, and cannot be watched without its 3 counterparts. Even if you have seen them, if you haven't watched them in the past few months, you're going to want to rewatch the other 3 before you even think about attempting this one. All 4 Rebuild films are streaming on Prime Video.
In all reality, you should probably still watch the series as well prior to the Rebuild films, although that's not really required. The series, as well as the original two films that go with it (Death & Rebirth and End of Evangelion) are all 3 streaming on Netflix.

wait stop i had a revelation in the shower and it is just SICKENING
Shou Hayami was the secret guest on the first day of the latest tales of festival performing as Vholran, but then he returned as both Vholran and Woodrow for day 2 right. Which is to be expected like, haha characters sharing a voice actor, you know the drill, they exploit this a lot, we love to see it, likewise they got Okiyau reunited with what i'm sure is his favorite toy
Heck, even Shimoji (Shionne) gave a couple lines as Karya, so like, nobody gets left behind, y'know?
Anyway for day 2, the secret guest was Kratos which elated me ofc. but i just realized. That's Fumihiko Tachiki. That's. that's Balseph the man also played Balseph in the most recent game in the series im??? and. I don't think they even acknowledged it, like, at all???? did they forget?????
First he doesn't star in Arise's OP when all the other Lords did, and now this???

if nothing else, mr. fumihiko tachiki did a phenomenal job. he captured so well how elated kenpachi was during the fight, and then, the immediate drop into horror and despair at the end. the pleading in his voice.
