Watched Evangelion 1.0 and Nano's ending

So I watched Evangelion 1.0 yesterday with a couple of friends and I got to say: it was good. Not flabbergasting excellent, not jaw dropping great, but a very solid "good." It was similar to the original series, though there were quite a few changes (many superficial), a lot of cuts to the character development, and a much more streamlined plot exposition.

Though Shinji still whines.

A lot.

While I felt a bit annoyed at how the introduction (first 30 minutes or so?) was practically the first episode, and how slow the middle was, I have to say that the last battle in the movie was so worth all the trouble. Sure, the change was a superficial (transformations are quite superficial, and Misato's speech was done later in the series I think), but the animation was awesome and it all worked so nicely together.

And now we wait for 2.0 to be licensed....





Son of a nutcracker.

In other, unrelated news, I have an ending for my nano novel, and I think an epilogue too. Hooray. Still not sure about the sex of the protagonist though.
