I think I'll finally be able to rewatch the show when I'm close to dying and after having led a very fulfilling and happy life with no pain and sadness

Damn I can't believe Ikari made his son almost kill Toji. So cold.

And then Shinji coming back and going insane to the point of the Eva eating the Angel like an animal.....woah
― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 1 April 2015 04:41 (nine years ago) link
i thought what happened was shinji refused to kill the angel-infected eva so gendou replaced shinji w/ the autopilot which is what caused the gorefest

Yes but Shiji quits piloting the Eva in next the ep and when he does come back to save the day it's super brutal (Shinji achieving 400% sync and the Eva turning into God status). He starts crawling on his hands like an ape and consumes the Angel in 19/20. CRAZY

Please keep it coming AB, you are taking me back to tenth grade here, seeing this for the first time - stunned silence in the room, two absolute ''holy shit'' episodes back to back. It's amazing how seamlessly the show ramps from its initial melange of fun robot show, weird arty angsty guy show, and wacky penguin/boob antics show, to get to *that* point so quickly, and yet have you 100% invested in the characters, their shock, their horror.

24: Holy Kubrick w the floating sentient monoliths and the Beethoven. So amazing that still shot of the Eva holding the tiny seemingly benevolent Angel. And the crunch that follows is insane. Wow. Also aw sad Pen Pen is leaving Miss Misato. She is an amazing character btw. Coming in at the very end when it seemed all hope was lost, like Krishna surveying the battlefield. Some amazing philosophy in here.

you've reached the moment for an important decision now as to whether to watch 25/26 and/or End of Eva and in what order. (I suggest End of Eva, I can't put up with 25/26)

25: Ok wow this is Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back as art film written by Freud. "What I desire is despair" Rei is so goth. All the stoplights here, it is very much like a psychological stage play. Dark night of the soul for all involved.
26: Love the watercolors. I like how as the characters break down the animation breaks down too. This show is great about using classical film techniques to get across character development and these final episodes are master-classes. Adding the line for ground to give Shinji something to use to orient himself was brilliant. It reminds me of the Ancient Egyptian concept of The Horizon and also a bit of that Daffy Duck where the animator is creating the world around the character. I bet some people were upset there were no more giant robot fights but this stuff is great. It seems like the kind of ego destruction and rebirth that might have gone on during Dave's trip through the 2001 monolith. Plus we had that alternate reality where Shinji is a normal kid and its like a stock anime about wacky school hijinks. Then all the characters say goodbye, leaving you to decide what really happened at the end there. So ambiguous. Having all the characters (and then the writer) thank the audience at the end was a nice touch. Can't believe they fit all of this into a 23-minute episode!

Cat Soup
i have not thought of cat soup in like 10 years

misato and asuka in eoe make the movie a legit tearjerker for me
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 April 2015 03:01 (nine years ago) link
Saw EoE, yes def a tearjerker of a movie! An amazing end to an amazing series! I want to note again how great the pacing to this show was from beginning to end. That flashback scene of Shinji building the castle and hanging out w his mom ;_; So sad to see Misato and Asuka die, what did Misato mean by "the rest"? Overall it was like normal Evangelion cranked up to 11, just OTT all over the place, great psychedelic mystic stuff at the end, etc. I liked the last two eps of the show but this does feel like a way more big important finale. I will watch Cat Soup next.

the literal implications of this line are pretty gross buuuuuuut a major them of this series is adults enacting trauma on children

for instance
talking about the show with someone just now i only now realized how deeply, deeply gross and horrible the gendo/rei relationship is

I... did not enjoy this, at least not as much as I thought I would. Problem is I'd have to watch it again to really understand why but it's mostly due to the complete lack of affinity I feel for Shinji. I know full why I should and feel weirdly guilty that I don't which makes me dislike him even more.
It would be cool to watch rewatch eva alongside Gurren Lagann; another Gainax anime with a Shinji clone protagonist that indulges and lampoons mecha tropeshttp://i25.tinypic.com/10ddumt.gif in relatively sharp contrast with Eva's mostly sombre deconstruction. Probably not as good but it's a ton of fun.
― tsrobodo, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 20:28 (nine years ago) link
kill la kill has a couple references also
it's hard for me to recommend eva to peeps even though it's my favorite anime -- it really doesn't try to reward the viewer like more recent shows, which is what i like about it. the last two episodes basically are like "fuck it"
