I understand differences in audiences and so on, but the extremely dated animation is a universal problem, as its generic and clichéd story. I loved this show as a kid, but it hasn't aged particularly well. At least in my opinion.

Okay so I finished Evangelion and I gotta say...WTF was up with those last two episodes? They were super philisophical and super confusing. I get that the movies (Death, Rebirth and End of Evangelion) are supposed to "fix" this but still. Episodes 1-24 were great but those last two were just...weird and kind of anti-climatic. I do have a question though: are the Rebuild of Evangelion films worth watching?

Yes. Without a shadow of a doubt.
1.11 is just the first few episodes of the series with a few plot differences (of course it LOOKS a lot better too) but then 2.22 begins to diverge from the series greatly and 3.33 is a completely new beast.

Personally I've found them even better than the series itself, and I was a pretty big fan of that.

Sweet. I'll check them out then. Thanks!

Back with more Bakemonogatari. This time its the Kanbaru arc.

Wow, this was DEFINITELY my favourite arc of the show so far. It pretty much had everything, plus I'm an absolute sucker for Monkey's paw stories.

lol

Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Actually, it was quite funny. Spike Spencer, the voice of Shinji, showed us an out take back in 2006 at my local anime convention of his recording the finale to Evangelion and when the episode ends he just screams, "WHAT THE HELL? THIS IS HOW THIS **** ENDS?! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT EVEN ABOUT?!"

Yes, hell fucking yes! Watch them now, you must!... Also, if you liked Evangelion then I highly recommend checking out Puella Magi Madoka Magica as well. It is available in both sub and dub, both of which are great so pick whichever one you normally go with. :D

How can you avoid watching the anime a recent purchase originates from? I can't stay away. I started re-watching The Big O, however I need to hold back on this one. Gotta save some of it for an upcoming build.

G-Gundam 09. Was another weak episode, London is depicted how America depicts us in totally serious dramas, the badass English pilot and Gundam came with an unnecessary catch that no other pilot has had and the story continues to lack any sense of logic, even an internal one, which leaves you feeling baffled in every episode and asking all the wrong kinds of questions.

I feel ready to drop this show, honestly.

G Gundam is a show that I think you need to just let take you on the ride as it's not about deep drama in general. I mean, the colonies are just large portions of land they somehow lifted off the Earth and then used the Earth as a dump (although parts of it seem fun). Plus the whole beam boxing ring around the earth.

As I said before the early episodes are a bit slow. Skip to 12 and watch that short arc. If that doesn't give you a feeling that the show is turning around then it's probably just not the sort of thing you will enjoy.
