That was actually amazing. I didn’t expect this from a 14-minute special episode.

First of all, when we rate something, we must take context into account; we’re currently looking at a 14-minute special episode, so our approach to it should reflect that. For this kind of content, it’s absolutely brilliant.

For Evangelion's 30th anniversary, they released a short animation that’s about 14 minutes long—and it was genuinely beautiful.

Ratings
Story: 8.5/10
Animation/Art: 9/10 (it could’ve been even better, but I still loved it)

For me, it would have been a 7 just for existing because of my love of Evangelion, but the fact it was entertaining, came from new perspectives, managed to stay truthful to characters, and still found some depth of emotion, shows just how timeless ...
