Put simply it was about as worthwhile as the Matrix (ie. not), but it had explosions and form-fitting costumes so no matter how much you badmouth it, teenage boys everywhere are still going to wank over it like Shinji bashing it to Asuka's comatose body which incidentally is a perfect metaphor for the story.
I am totally not pleased with this news for the simple fact I'm going to have to put up with a whole new generation of retarded 13 year olds screaming about how deep and wonderful it is.

Quotet for truth.
Not that Eva hasn't been an enjoyable experience for me back then.
But it certainly wasn't the ANIME OF TRUE ETERNAL ENLIGHTMENT most rabid fanboys/girls seem to make it.
You think Eva is deep and confusing? Go watch Lain. And Paranoia Agent.
Evangelion really seems to Anime what The Matrix is to movies...
Jam it back in, in the dark.
