shit mate this is kinda difficultI really love nge kaworu because we saw the effects he had on shinji and the happiness he brought with him, but he died waaaaay too fast for my liking. You cannot dispute they were in love and Shinji was happy. Kaworu almost achieved his goal in making Shinji happy..As for movie Kaworu, it felt like we got a lot more of his personality in the movies. But, he didn't have as close of a relationship with Shinji so Kaworu’s existence to make Shinji wasn’t fulfilled and was ultimately (in Kaworu’s eyes) pointless (probably) (I like brackets). they developed a relationship to a point where Shinji cried like a bab when he died, so Kaworu had an effect on his life. I guess we’ll see if Shinji loved him in the next movie.For now, I’m going to say I prefer nge Kaworu just because we know how that all ends. I’m basing this off of his effect on Shinji not whether I actually like him or not... fuck. I CAN’T CHOOSE. I LIKE KAWORU’S CHARACTER IN THE MOVIES, BUT I LIKE KAWORU’S EFFECT IN NGE.
