I'm a fan of the series, I watched the TV series decades ago, and now the Rebuild movies, but they are still inherently flawed in that it has always been almost incomprehensible.
So what is wrong with it? Here's what I find myself saying many times:
1. What does that even mean?!?!
It uses unknown terms in a sentence then again several minutes later as if that would help understand what it meant in the first place. Then when it does use a term that is vaguely familiar, it is used in a completely different manner and context.
2. What is that?!?!
It tries to wow us with imagery and animation that is incomprehensible. I don't even know what I am looking at!
3. What is going on?!?!
The main flaw is the story telling. It only allows a portion of it, just barely enough, to understand what is really going on. Frankly, it could lose the audience.
But hey, I am still a fan, love the characters, most especially Rei, distantly followed by Asuka, and I will watch whatever comes next.
