After a mad dash to binge the entire franchise, I sat down with Nikole Eva (AKA YouTube's Evasive) to discuss the finale film: Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time. I returned to the Prospect Park Nitehawk to view this film on the big screen. Discussion topics include:

 

• Is this series an accessible entry point for someone looking to get into anime as a whole?
• Does this final film represent Hideaki Anno's moving past a need to constantly rewrite his own work?
• Is the optimal viewing experience for this or any film in a theatre full of Juggalos hyped up on Faygo?
