Frustrating is a word we use a lot around Evangelion. That words sums up both our viewing and discussion of Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0, a movie that manages to have some great moments while also making infuriating and baffling choices as it sets off on it's own path. We like the new Angel designs and a drunk PenPen but making all the girls stories revolve around trying to woo Shinji sucks. Then there's the question of "Just what is Mari's purpose being here?" It's a long and winding pod and we're in a madder place at the end but the almost end is near.
