This was the very first Japanese anime that left a mark on me. Though the new films introduce fresh plots, they feel oddly off, especially Asuka Langley Shikinami’s death—it shouldn’t have gone down that way!

This film brings fresh visuals, new Angels, new storylines, new characters, new music, and more spectacular action—but they’re missing the chaotic beauty of the originals. Everything feels too clean and pristine, even the battles: polished and fluid, the original rawness and brutality is lacking. You win some, you lose some, but what I loved most was what they cut away.

Esta película aporta imágenes renovadas, nuevos Ángeles, nuevas tramas, personajes, música y acción más espectacular, pero se echa de menos la belleza caótica de los originales. Todo se siente demasiado limpio y pulido, incluso las batallas: elegantes y fluidas, pero sin la crudeza y brutalidad originales. Unas cosas se ganan, otras se pierden, pero lo que más amaba era justo lo que eliminaron.

Esse foi o primeiro anime japonês que me marcou. Embora os novos filmes apresentem novos enredos, eles parecem estranhos, especialmente a morte de Asuka Langley Shikinami — não deveria ter acontecido dessa forma!

Esse filme traz novos visuais, novos Anjos, novas histórias, novos personagens, novas músicas e mais ação espetacular, mas falta a beleza caótica dos originais. Tudo parece muito limpo e imaculado, até mesmo as batalhas: polidas e fluidas, faltam a crueza e a brutalidade originais. Você ganha algumas, perde outras, mas o que eu mais gostava eles cortaram.

Este fue el primer anime japonés que me marcó. Aunque las nuevas películas introducen tramas frescas, se sienten extrañas, especialmente la muerte de Asuka Langley Shikinami: ¡no debería haber ocurrido así!
