Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time

i think my favorite thing about this one is how the preview just utterly lies about what Thrice Upon a Time will be, but considering that movie took 9 years to make I dunno if they knew what it would be back in 2012 as the world's biggest rebuild fan i think this is probably the third best, it goes furthest afield from the series but doesn't hit the crazy highs of 3.0+1.0. i think this biggest knock against this movie is it doesn't really add a lot to the characters in rebuild series, i do think the time skip is good but so much happens we don't have a lot of time to dwell on how the other characters changed, but shinji still being a teen in this context is fantastic, the highlight of the film. the curse of the eva is also just really good in context and i'd love to see other eva media explore it, everyone aging but the pilots just makes so much god damn sense for this weird property that makes no god damn sense.

Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo

I think this movie has only improved with time and seeing the end of the rebuilds. In a lot of ways this movie really solidifies the Eva canon as having patterns and repetition but constantly being retold. And it's fucking beautiful man. Ending the movie with "the world is ending" is fantastic but wait, it's not the end, we've got "this time I'll make you happy, no matter what." And like both are insane ways to end a movie and we've got both and the next episode preview. Civilizations peaked with the rebuilds.

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance

this is recap art. it is recapping the first part of the show, but it transcends the anime movie recap format in a few ways. first obviously, it looks and sounds incredible. the blending of old and new is great and I think best seen in the sound design and soundtrack which perfectly combine old and new. so many iconic sounds and themes, but then some great new work, just works so well overall. what really puts it over the top is perfectly nailing the "next episode" stinger

FLCL

This is a real odd duck in the realm of anime compilation movies. The first part, Death is a recap of e1-24. And it's mostly by the book but I think it's worth noting that it's a very fast paced recap, with a number of flashbacks or flash forwards, and I think would be utterly incomprehensible to someone who has not watched the show. Which I respect! As a recap of a singularly Important anime there is a lot to recommend, there is a fair bit of redrawn or new animation and the TV show has never looked better. The other thing to note here the string quartet framing device, which is fantastic and makes me want to bump this up. I think what really hurts this as a film isn't the recap section, it's rebirth, the new section. Which is good! But is also just a preview of End of Evangelion. Which must have been so cool to people watching this in a Tokyo theater in the summer of 1995. Note: I'm pretty sure this should be listed as 1998 not 2026 but 🤷
