I've decided to watch the anime that allegedly inspired all of my favorite childhood JRPGs that shaped my life.

I'm starting with the 26 episode series. Is there any specific order I'm supposed to incorporate the movies? Anything I should know?

TV series -> End of Evangelion.

that's it.

Death and rebirth is a recap movie. Rebuild is a reboot.

(also the netflix dub is bad, apparently.)

The translation? Because the voice acting is pretty good thus far

The dub is perfectly serviceable imho, even though I prefer the sub

People got wound up about a few tonal changes that ultimately don't matter in the end

I recommend watching the entire show, then seeing how you feel- whether you want to watch the recap movie before plowing into end of Evangelion

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Just the TV series followed by End of Evangelion

The Neflix translation had a few issues but they honestly aren't very consequential.

I mean I've played Xenogears so I can kind of anticipate a lot of the plot beats.

It's much slower than I would have expected though! And that's a good thing.

the correct way to watch the movies is to remember to watch all of the japan animator expo and then spend 6+ years waiting before watching the last rebuild film for the "true" experience

anyway jokes aside a lot of people talk about end of evangelion but i'd recommend revival of evangelion instead since it's end but with death(true)2 added, which is basically (the definitive edition of) a series recap for the bulk of the anime but with some extra scenes. the original death was in a film called death and rebirth which was basically the same thing as revival but it only has the first half hour or so of end of evangelion and therefore isn't really recommended

alternatively i think death(true)2 and end of evangelion are both on netflix individually so that's pretty much the same thing (death should be watched first ftr)

also do watch the japan animator expo tho a few of the shorts are more or less canon i guess and they're pretty great in general

It's pretty wild that this show has this kind of fanbase and canon discussion for what is essentially a single season. It's good so far (I'm on episode 6), but really looking forward to this getting as crazy as I hope it might be.

You mean the cicadas? That's just a sound effect they put in anime to show that it's summer.

Still just a relatively straightforward mech anime with some teenage horniness so far!

First Rebuild one is very similar to the anime. New content begins with 2.2 and 3.3. Pretty nifty animation and I enjoyed it, not sure if you 'should' watch it as I'm hesitant to tell people to do things.

Do you not watch much anime? Cause it sounds just like all the other cicada I've heard on various anime. I think they always use the exact same sound effect lol.

put everything you can find in a hat and pick an episode/manga/movie at a time until it's done

it'll make about as much sense!
