I love Eva, but I also feel like I got enough closure after the last series of movies. I think I'd rather see the studio focus on something new for a while instead.

    If you're talking about Rebuild, that undid all the closure I got from the original series and EoE.

    The trick is to not acknowledge them. The new series seems promising though considering the creator for Nier Automata is writing it.

    Yeah, they are an alternate storyline anyways, so it's easy to not consider them "canon". I've only interacted with Nier osmotically, so I'm just going to wait with no expectations of any kind and see when it comes out.

    this might be the perfect excuse to ask this... with so many releases... which is considered the best way to enjoy? i'm very confused... i saw the original anime and... i think a couple of movies but i'm looking to rewatch and now am overwhelmed

    The original series and then probably End of Evangelion are really all you need. I just pirated that shit but if you want, there's a collector's edition bluray boxset. The Rebuild film series is neat if you wanna check that out, but it's sort of an AU retelling of the story and they're less complete works in my opinion.

    Anime episodes 1-24 (skip last 2), then End of Eva

    If you still want more then there's the rebuild movies
