The film Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 It was a real success, earning much higher revenues than in the previous film and breaking several records. However, every triumph hides shadows and criticism was not long in coming.

During a session of the program of the trade magazine PLANETS, the team, led by editor-in-chief Tsunehiro Uno, wrote a thesis that quickly went viral around the world. Evangelion: 3.0 + 1.0 ha Moments without content, “boring”.

“”It’s a pretty personal story by Hideaki Anno himself. I don’t think it was planned that way, but the end result leads me to interpret it as a personal novel. “I am glad that Anno-san is no longer depressed”, “I am glad that the Evangelion ended” and “This is why the Evangelion is a masterpiece” is the majority opinion. But didn’t you notice that you rate the entire background rather than the film itself? “

“The same thing happened with the live action series Terrace House, which gained tremendous popularity on social networks. The tragic ending was a total management mistake, but one that could easily be overcome by carefully examining the information. It didn’t offer anything interesting! To be honest, Evangelion is 80 years old points out of 100. Sometimes weren’t you bored? Agriculture? Seriously?“.

Despite this fierce criticism, the Hideaki Anno and Studio Khara film hit nearly 4 million tickets sold and a collection of over 6 billion yen, about $ 55 million, within twenty-one days of the Japanese premiere. But were these dates really influenced by the important background of the work?
