----------------------------------------
I have seen so many official and unofficial representations of what happens after third impact, but I really like Sadamoto's. Not only does it set up an amazing opportunity for a good spin off manga, but it captures how much Shinji has changed in these 14 volumes. He is still the same Shinji we know and love and hate, but he now has a confidence he did not have before. He is still an aloof and aimless character, but that hasn't prevented him from having friends. I have great respect in Sadamoto in being able to have Shinji grow in a way the anime did not do without compromising the character.

One of the best stories ever created. Who knows how many years will have to pass before i see something like this. The complexity of Evangelion is simply amazing.

Same here. I also prefer the manga version.

It finally end.I actually read Eva manga first before I watch the anime(yes, I know anime come out first before the manga) but because of the slow release, I decided to watch the anime and movies that I actually forgotten about this manga. Now I reread it again after all these years, it's worth it because the manga have better ending. I was hoping we get to see Ayanami but I think she's gone or dead.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

the story is better than anime

The story is virtually the same, except for the ending, and the fewer angels in the manga.

This was touching and I far prefer this ending to End of Evas ending. I'll give this manga a 9 which was the same score that I gave the anime.

just answered your own question there frendo. The anime goes way too deep. It's a series you have to go back to just confirm somethings and a lot dont see it as a happy ending even tho it is in a way. It's a literal 2deep4you anime like Sakarei and Bucarano.

I personally prefer the EoE / anime ending, but this one was enjoyable as hell, due to the fact that we can finally see Shinji enjoying what his normal life would be and will be in the future.

The anime is great, and I think that is better, but I love the manga too.

There are two different endings.
As in the anime Gankutsuou gave a different development of the book of Alexandre Dumas

Mangá and anime as gankutusou and the book of Alexandre Dumas sharing a same story, but development and different endings

the end of the manga does not fit the anime. Shinji or Asuka after the istrumentality loses the memory and the world does not reign as in the manga, people have the option to return, but the world will have to be rebuilt, but the memory will not have been lost. Asuka and shinji would remember each other, given the emotional connection in the anime, that they would not go away.

Beautiful ending. Asuka finally returns. I prefer manga to the series, but not sure about EoE though. I want coward Shinji, not happy Shinji.

Perfect conclusion. 9/10

Shinji completely grown up. Honestly, I preferred this version over the anime & EoE.
Love the AsuShin moment at the end tho.

Overall, this manga was highly entertaining.

I prefer Anno's ending much more over this, but this still fit thematically well I guess. One more chapter

I definitely need to rewatch the anime and EoE now. I felt like the manga felt far more digestible and more blatantly hopeful, which was something I liked. Definitely worth the read and a fun journey to undergo.

It feels a little weird I finished pretty much all the mainline Evangelion stuff. I guess I can start touching on more of the side stuff haha.
Have a great day!

I think this may be one of the best stories ever written

Out of all the evangelion endings i think this may be the second best near 3.0 + 1.0's ending

i kinda like that the manga made post-instrumentality into a kind of reset instead of the "you still have your memories, but the planet is irrevocably fucked". much more hopeful. shinji and asuka's subtle differences were really cool to see. you can tell they're still the same people, but they've managed to grow and change, even if it's just a little. i'm an avowed sucker for happy endings, so i'm definitely biased, but this easily clears the anime (and especially EoE)
