I love boobs, music, coffee, cartoons, comics, (horror-) movies and games! Zambies, many zambies! I like to mess around with avatars and wallpapers, currently working on this wallpaper.

I write little reviews after finishing a show/movie, nothing really in-depth, but I do try to give some positive and negative points about my viewing experience. I try to be fair while writing my reviews, considering the positives and negatives of a show.

We'll just have to agree to disagree then. The excuse of running out of time is a little weak because he had at least 9 years to think of how to end things, if that's what he wanted to do. Better to just leave it at 3 movies if you are just going to flop the ending. If he's such a perfectionist, he would have not made such a rushed ending. Just take an extra few minutes to consider the implications of what you're doing.
I also disagree on the notion it'd be hard to please the fans of the franchise too. A much better ending would have been to beat the bad guy, end the threat of the angels and such, and focus on the characters still alive rebuilding the world (Again,they are called the Rebuild movies, not the Reset movies). It would hardly be the most unreasonable thing. It would actually stay on track with what was portrayed through the movies with people working hard and making changes to the world, little by little.
Give the series to someone else, give us a new series in this new world and hopefully flesh things out.

I had heard the theory as to why Shinji is with Mari at the end, but being single would have been so much better. Asuka and the gang deserved more than just being background cameos. This can be addressed if we get a series following them as adults. It needs to happen. I would prefer if Anno passed it off to someone else so we can get it.

I didn't hate the movie, but the ending was really rushed and slapped together when 3/4 of the movie was a lot of buildup to a particular ending that didn't actually happen and instead we got a generic world reset. Even though Shinji said he wasn't going to rewind time... I guess he just figures creating a new world is a loophole to get around it.

It would have been better if the ending was people rebuilding (It's the Rebuild series, after all) after the Third Impact, like the story had portrayed people working to do. The ending we got spit in the face of the story buildup.

Thank you! I appreciate the compliment. I take this type of stuff seriously, sometimes too seriously. 😅

"Seems like a nice balance of well known and some (roms-)coms that flew under the radar."

Romance is my jam! This list will tell you all you need to know regarding that... again... 😅

I do suggest refraining from getting involved with Rent-a-Girlfriend 2, unless you have seen the first season, which was pretty good. Second season, I am afraid not so much, aka a big freaking let down!

"Might have to check some of them out :)"

Absolutely! I am open to any suggestions you may have as well, so feel free to stop by any time and drop me 'a word of wisdom' or an anime suggestion or whatever!

Cheers!
