First minute and a half is just too awkward but everything after is really great

I actually quite liked this one. There were a lot of good entries and it's difficult to come across something so full of life on this site, something so passionately made without falling into the trap of "eh, it's nostalgia so they'll like it anyway" laziness. I would've given it 5 stars, but I had to dock just a few because I don't really like how you guys all huddle up on single bad reviews from literal nobodies. Very insecure.

Favorite entries were Salad Fingers by Mikel, WGJ4K by Claykid and Zone-Tan by Gabo.

Newgrounds Evangelion is actually a pretty funny collab idea. There are a few entertaining things you could make with it: Staggernite's entry about Tankmen defeating Angels feels like a proper celebration of Newgrounds with an Evangelion theme and a lot of these people have pretty cute interpretations of the designs like Magibauble's absolutely hilarious cartoon showing Shinji as a dorky pizza boy. I can only say this about a few entries, though, because this collab seems to seldom grow past the typical flaws with Newgrounds collabs. The inside jokes here are reminiscent of how forced and lazy they were in the FF7 collab, as is some of the actual production.

I'm very impressed by some of these animators making solemn attempts at animating, or even just drawing, the EVA. KGBlagden has a particularly gorgeous one that tickles that little mecha otaku inside me. This sort of detailed mech art is always incredibly impressive to me, especially when coming from a platform (or from animators) I don't expect to make it look this good. Things like that make the collab a little more timeless and memorable... unlike Wanda's NFT monkey jokes. I'm sure you see my issue with the collab by now: the reliance on memes, inside jokes and dated humor rather than just making collab entries that stand on their own as funny parodies of Evangelion. That being said, I love the presentation in the bumps and transitions and can definitely feel a stylish passion behind some, if not most of these entries. There's not terribly much to complain about, but it's still very underwhelming.
