(NOT) A REVIEW

Well, this was great despite how the film is hardly built like one, and is more of a series of "moments".

Score: 10/10 (9/10 by itself)
Enjoyment: +∞ /5
Everything Evangelion in a single work (just like the series).

Notes:
- great (maybe even better),
- ugly CGI although the ugliest moment, 13vs01 with a horrible toys city, felt almost like a simulation/game on purpose and is easier to accept. The other most (beautifully) ugly element is virtual Lillith-Rei's head, making it even more creepy and effectively horrible than the original. (No idea why, but it reminded me of some Death Note panels.)
- with a few beautiful return to drawn action sprinkled in the film,
- clear/evident, logical,
- but the Kaji explanation speech was mostly unnecessary, with the few elements the audience had been given from the second end trailer to the third film.
- everything Evangelion in a single work (just like the series?)

===========QUESTION
Mari Iscariot
Didn't Sadamoto admit in an interview his special chapter (in 2009?) was simply him musing over Mari's origins, based on the second film alone, without any actual behind the scene info?
The hypothesis made sense at the time, and I liked it. But in the end, is it Anno using Sadamoto's guess or was Sadamoto simply smart enough to understand his colleague (after all, the very vague hints were there)?
