Bought the first volume recently. Heres my general opinion.



1. The art is gorgeous and textured, while at the same time keeping a semi-simplistic anime look for the characters. If I do have a minor complaint its that Sadamoto seems to be a 'slave to the close-up' when it comes to anything other than the battles and a few establishing shots.



2. It's pretty much 1.11 the manga. Aside from some Misato fanservice there really isn't anything new to the Manga that I haven't seen in the series or rebuilds



3. With maybe one exception. Manga Shinji is kind've a jerk. I mean he's not irredeemably assholish or anything, and I've only read the first volume. But to me he comes off as kind've a jerk. the first thing he does when Misato asks him to stay with her is close off and get angry about it. That's a new things for Shinji, Rebuild Shinji didn't have the same issue,



4. I liked the extra moments we got to spend with Kensuke and Shinji camping.
