Book Reviews of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Vol. 1
Book Review: I loved Eva, the anime... the manga not so much
Summary: 2 Stars
This review is meant to summarize how I feel about the magna series in general after reading Vol. 1 and 3.
Now I loved Neon Genesis Evangelion, the anime, so I thought Neon Genesis Evangelion, the manga, would be worthwhile. I kind of regret my choice. Most of my problems come from the changes made. For instance Suzuhara seems to have gained a sort of Bronx accent that annoys me to no end... also (and more importantly to me) Shinji's personality is changed a bit. He goes from being quiet and unsure to more assertive and open. Though some people may like the change, I don't. I can't really explain why it bothers me so much, but I can only guess because to me the anime was just about perfect (I'm probably the only person who wasn't pissed about the ending to the series to put it in perspective). That accounts for 2 of the stars I took off.
The other star I took off was because at times the art work seemed kind of sloppy. A few times I had no idea what I was looking at. It doesn't take that much away, but I felt it was worth mentioning.
If that stuff wouldn't bother you, you'll probably enjoy the manga.
