What are critics saying about the long-awaited final film of the storied anime franchise?

The anime maestro’s latest looks like a mash-up between Beauty and the Beast and his own Summer Wars.

The off-kilter opening theme to the 1994 “Iria” anime series sounds like a pop hit from another solar system.

The director’s latest looks like yet another feast of stunning visuals.

Evangelion: 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time finally arrives in Japanese theaters on January 23.

Though parts of its story haven’t aged too well, Macross Plus’ animation, visuals, and music are still as stunning as ever.

Everything about this My Hero Academia-inspired short feels anime-esque without ever once looking cheesy or cartoonish.

From its lifeless 3DCG animation to its nonsensical storyline, the latest Ghost in the Shell title underwhelms in every way.

Thanks to its exotic-looking visual aesthetic, this sci-fi/action anime title is an overlooked gem from the mid ’90s.

Rest assured I’ll be tuning in on day one (along with my inner eleven-year-old).

It may only be 30 seconds of footage, but it doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in the new series’ style.

There’s nothing at all cheap or lifeless in this trailer, which makes me happy every time I watch it.

It’s not much, but at this point, I’ll take anything I can get.

The anime studio helped produce many acclaimed titles.

Based on this 10-minute preview, Evangelion 3.0+1.0 will have spectacle to spare when it finally arrives in 2020.

Polygon’s Aaron Stewart-Ahn has written an excellent piece on the famed anime filmmaker.

Since its 1995 debut, Evangelion has become one of the most popular, influential, and controversial anime titles of all time.

Hayao Miyazaki’s historical fantasy epic is his darkest film, but it gets to the heart of his complicated worldview.

Another Makoto Shinkai movie about rain? Yes, please.
