Just finished watching and I was impressed for the most part. If you want to see how far anime production standards have come in terms of presentation just compare the 6th angel battle in both this and the original, but then again the original series had budget issues too so I'm not sure if that comparison is totally fair.

Spoiler:

They seemed to put more effort this time into making Tokyo 3 look more like a living breathing city. Unless my memory's mistaken there was always something about the original that seemed too focused on the key players to give a full atmosphere, whereas this time around we get periodic reminders apart from just scenes in the school and the train that it's a major city and possibly the world at stake here.

Bearing in mind I've never read the Mangas, two major things I disagreed with was revealing Kaworu and Lilith so early in the plot, not to mention Misato knew nothing about Lilith in the original until she started doubting Nerves intentions and investigated, which I think would have been a great way to end the 2nd movie. Now that I think about it most of the plot was revealed through Misato's point of view in the original, so how are they going to reveal other parts of the plot now? Not to mention what role will Kaji play that gets him shot or if he does at all for that matter.

I'm trying to avoid going into how deep NGE is as a story, but all in all, those major plot changes just seemed more like fanservice for people who know the plot already rather then effective storytelling.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Given the average speed english dubs for animes are done in, they probably won't even touch this until all the movies are finished + about another year if not more. All in all I would say you have a long wait ahead sane brain...
