RE-TAKE/YMMV


 * Complete Monster: Gendo manages to skirt along the edges of this. See his actions at the bottom of the page: If it wasn't for his actions at the end of volume 4...
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Shinji and Asuka get several moments.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: The entire soundtrack. Yes, there is a soundtrack to a doujinshi manga. However, special mention goes to "Girl" and "Holy Day". These can be heard either here for just the soundtrack, or here for select scenes included (all ages friendly, no adult content included). One is a playlist, the other is 4 part youtube clips.
 * Ending Fatigue- One of the "strikes" against the series. There are a few moments of, "Aw, that's a good ending...oh, wait, there's more."
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: A few sections stand out, most prominently
 * Jerkass Woobie:
 * Iron Woobie: While Shinji was debatably this in the original series, he certainly fills out this role in this story. This is best exemplified when he
 * Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Shinji becoming a Determinator to extreme levels puts him in a much more favorable light than in the main series.
 * Tear Jerker: The whole damn story. But especially
 * The scene in the first volume in which is pretty heart-wrenching.
