Line 4:
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: If you've never seen the original series or didn't like it for being too angsty, you'll probably like Rebuild more due to [[Visual Effects of Awesome]] and much more relateable characters.
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: The August 2011 teaser for ''3.0'', which ended with the release date of "Autumn 2012". Of course, it was expected to cause this kind of reaction - the only view of ''3.0'' up until then was a little trailer at the end of ''2.0''...which was released in 2009.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20131214164624/http://smashmybox.co.uk/index.php?_a=category&cat_id=14 Two new] versions of Komm Susser Tod...note that this does not mean [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|they will be featured in the last two movies.]]
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: Mari fits this trope. The other kids pilot because of various issues they have. As far as we can tell, Mari does it because fighting monsters in a giant robot is ''awesome''.
* [[Ass Pull]]: {{spoiler|Shinji saving Rei and almost ending the world only with sheer willpower}} in the end of ''2.0'' MAY qualify for one of the [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|most awesome]] [[Ass Pull]] in the history of anime. Of course, [[Your Mileage May Vary]], and ''3.0'' and ''4.0'' may be able to explain this.
* [[Base Breaker]]: Mari. Either she's awesome, badass and hot, to [[Hate Dumb|others]] she's unnecessary, lame and unfitting.
* [[Better
* [[Covered Up]] -- This doesn't apply to ''any'' Japanese person since it's a classic pop standard and children's song, but face it--the only reason ''you'' know about "''Tsubasa o Kudasai''" is either because of ''2.0'', or ''[[K-On!]]''.
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Berserker! {{spoiler|Shinji's fight versus Zeurel: "...I promise I'll save you, Rei...'' '''''EVEN IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!!!'''''.}}
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: ''Rebuild'' is just loaded with these, particularly any song with lyrics. Special mention goes to ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQBi2IIMmpQ The Final Decision We All Must Take]''.
** Also ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdN8NbhNfRM Angel of Doom]'' from ''1.0'', played during the fight with Ramiel. Fantastically epic, and can also be found on the second disc of the ''1.11'' DVD release as a music video.
Line 17:
* [[Epileptic Trees]]: As expected, but one in particular has to be mentioned: Kaworu's cryptic comments and the various [[Mythology Gag|Mythology Gags]] have made several fans hypothesize ''Rebuild'' is a [[Stealth Sequel]] via a [[Cosmic Retcon]] or [[Groundhog Day Loop]].
* [[Fan Nickname]]: The formal names each Angel (well, what Seele calls them: "Sachiel", "Ramiel", etc.) were only revealed towards the end of the original series, during a quick review scene. As this hasn't happened yet, the two new entirely new Angels don't have formal "Angel names", so have been often referred to be fan nicknames: #3 has "Tunneliel", and #7 has been variously referred to as "Clock Angel", "Clockliel", etc.
** Mari's battle with Zeruel is often just referred to as "ZA BEASTO", after the [[Gratuitous English|password]] used to {{spoiler|trigger Unit-02's "beast mode"}}.
** Technically, the title itself, ''Rebuild of Evangelion'', is a nickname that just got stuck very hard because Anno and other official sources used the term a lot in the beginning referring to remaking the series, not movie titles. The Evageeks forums tried to get rid of it by renaming the sub-forums from ''Rebuild of Evangelion'' to ''Evangelion New Movie Version'', but then changed it back.
*** "Weva", short for "Wevangelion" has been used to refer the movie occasionally; see [[Xtreme Kool Letterz]] on the main page for why.
Line 26:
* [[Fridge Horror]]: If Evageeks can be trusted, Kaworu's line at [[The Stinger|the end]] of Rebuild 2.0 is ''actually'': "This time, only you will find happiness". You, [[Ho Yay|of course]], refering to Shinji...fans, [[Nightmare Fuel|begin screaming]].
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: At the end of Episode 25, Asuka says that "This is the end. One of many possible endings."
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: Shinji's "''I think you need to lose someone important to you'' too, ''Father!'' Then ''you'll understand!''" {{spoiler|after the Eva-03/Bardiel incident}} comes off as this once we recall from the original series that Gendo truly loved Yui. [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|This is not to excuse]] [[Manipulative Bastard|Gendo's]] [[Kick the Dog|actions]] [[Instrumentality|and]] [[The End of the World
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: Ramiel now ''shrieks'' whenever it powers up its energy weapons, only adding to its overall alien freakiness.
* [[Holy Shit Quotient]]: Off the fucking charts, particularly in 2. Pretty much ''everything'' in the fight against Zeruel, from {{spoiler|Unit 2's shiny new Beast Mode}} to Unit 00's attack, to Zeruel lopping off limbs with ridiculous ease... {{spoiler|And then it eats Unit 00, and Unit 01 eats '''him''' turns into a god or something...}}
* [[Hope Spot]]: Kaworu's "I'll make you happy this time Shinji" has quite a few fans believing (well, hoping) that he'll [[Spared
* [[Ho Yay]]:
** In ''Rebuild 1.0'', [[The Stinger|Kaworu awakens]] [[It Makes Sense in Context|on the moon]] to promptly say "I'm looking forward to meeting you, Shinji Ikari." And at the end of 2.0, he says he's gonna make Shinji "happy" this time... oh, lordy.
Line 35:
** In 2.0, at one point Kaji exhibits [[No Sense of Personal Space]] towards Shinji and pretends (?) to try to kiss him.
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff|Irelander's Love Gendo Ikari]]: John Swasey, Gendo's VA, comments how surprised he was at a convention in Ireland to find how popular [[The Sociopath|Gendo was]]. Who knew?
* [[It's the
* [[Like You Would Really Do It]]: [[Genre Savvy]] audience members know Shinji won't ''really'' set off Third Impact at the end of 2.0, since there are still two more movies to go.
* [[Memetic Molester]]: Just try to do an image search for Mari ''without'' finding at least one fanart of her molesting Asuka. Or Rei. Or both.
Line 44:
** Just watch the scene where Rei actually greets her classmates: when Shinji engages her in conversation, she's ''smiling the whole time''. Rei, smiling for a consecutive eleven seconds. Did Third Impact happen while we weren't watching?
** Or to a smaller extent: the ''3.0'' trailer. Rei in her ep26 AU uniform with three little Reis hiding behind her, shyly clutching her arms.
* [[Narm]]: The supposedly cool introduction of [[The Name Is Bond, James Bond|Kaji... Ryoji Kaji]] in ''2.0'' is turned into a hysterical laugh-fest when his [[Koichi Yamadera|seiyuu]] attempts to recite some English lines that are well out of his grasp. The effect is only compounded by the "What the hell?" face made by the person whom Kaji addresses, leaving one with the lingering suspicion that this was intentional on the creators' part.
** Parts of the soundtrack border on this due to rather odd English lyrics.
** The happy music and Shinji's screaming {{spoiler|when he tries to save Rei,}} will either scare you to death or send you into a laughing fit.
* [[Replacement Scrappy]]: In particular, some of the fanbase considers Asuka ''Shikinami'' to be a much-inferior character than Asuka ''Soryu,'' mostly due to changes in her goals and personality.
** All the Soundtrack Dissonance thing, expecially in the fight against {{spoiler|EVA 03}}. Come on guys! Anyone has liked that?
*** In fairness, said music is kind of ''meant'' to sound out-of-place, unsettling, and just plain '''wrong'''. The reason we like it is because it sets us into a genuinely freaked-out atmosphere, contrasting to the original music, which is pretty conventional. The new music arguably ''feels'' like it belongs in the series - after all, this is ''[[Dysfunction Junction|Evan]]''''[[Deconstruction|gelion]]'' we're talking about here.
* [[Rescued
* [[Superlative Dubbing]]: The dubs for both movies, particularly the second one, have been heaped with praise, even from people who hated the dub of the original series.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: Inevitable, considering that the original series has been analyzed and overanalyzed for every ''day'' of the decade since its release.
** Asuka's English VA, in the commentary, noted that she was sorta disappointed with the fact that, 1) Asuka is not obsessed with Kaji in 2.0 (in fact, she barely notices he exists) and 2) never got to speak German. She subverts this, though, as she still loves being Asuka, and is glad Asuka survived getting smashed during the Bardiel battle.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: In spite of the character being more sympathetic overall, ''Rebuild of Evangelion'' manages to have Rei be even further in the [[Uncanny Valley]]. The ominous BGM that always plays in her presence (at least in the beginning) made it quite clear that Shinji definitely senses something ''very'' unsettling in her.
