petronia: (individualist)
Evangelion 1.0: the original series with a classy face lift.

MORE
foreshadowing
Tokyo-3/NERV/Eva mechanics
visible as opposed to invisible Shinji emo
in general, explanations of what the shit is going on
gore (the Angels are all bleeders now apparently argh - this is also foreshadowing though)
underage nudity
Kaworu

LESS
stock footage
"auteur" pacing
visible as opposed to invisible Anno Hideaki emo
Brechtian soundtrack selections (to come??)
"is the Crayola flip book animation due to directorial self-indulgence or Gainax embezzling the budget AGAIN"
Asuka

SAME
Misato is a drunk
Gendou is a dick
Shinji is a navel-gazing passive-aggressive emo whiner with zero self-esteem fourteen
Pen^2 is a penguin

...Actually, Asuka isn't there yet because we're only up to the Sixth Angel. Why couldn't they have gotten hold of the second film for Fantasia as well is what I want to know.

(Saw two more films but will review later for lack of time.)
