Due to reasons, I binged Evangelion 1.11, 2.22 and 3.33 this evening and I have absolutely no idea what I've just watched. I'm not an anime guy generally but I watched the whole series about... My god, 20 years ago and had absolutely no idea what happened, I watched Death, Rebirth, End of Evangelion and maybe some other remakes or retellings or whatever and had absolutely no idea what happened, and now I've watched these three and am genuinely none the wiser. Shinji spent quite a lot of time in 3.33 as confused as me, though, so I guess I'm in good company.
I'll try to watch 3.0+1.0 tomorrow, hopefully it's 150+ minutes of Gendo explaining everything like I'm five.
