Man, now I'm seriously contemplating watching this. The original EVA series left me #@%@%#@ confused. REALLY confused, and since lots of people love it so much, I might as well give it another shot.
The original had that issue since there was a ton of backstory that was never explained. This fixes all that, and gives a truly enjoyable experience.
Also this is the opening (minus in Japanese and includes a bit of deleted scene in this video). Skip to 1:42 for actual start of the scene without extra part. And dont watch if you dont want to spoil this 2 hour movie of awesome.
Will have to go with that, hehe.
And yeah, whenever they were talking stuff that is not usual discussion etc, I had to piece together whatever little info I had of the backstory while listening to them. That really ruined it.
Eh, like ssj said, the clip will spoil nothing. It's literally the first 5 minutes of the movie. Showing off Mari is all.
