The show was really too much. I want to say it was good but...seriously what the hell? The creator expects too much of his viewers...we're not mind readers.

I expected some mecha anime, but boy was I wrong. I swear the show and movie just fucked with my mind. My favorite char is definitely Asuka.

This movie made me feel every single emotion available. One of the greatest fucking things I have ever seen.

And Asuka's fight scenes are remarkable.

my head still hurts

Why is Shinji so stupid!!!

For the first half, I enjoyed it more than 25-26 episodes of the series. After all the tsunderism of Asuka and Shinji being a pussy it was AWESOME to see them go fucking crazy and fighting the enemies...

And the second part... Well, that was a mindfuck.

...umm...yeah everybody said what i was thinking already. whoever wrote this has serious issues. i was teased all the way to the bitter, anti-climactic end of evangelion.

EoE was EVEN_WORSE than original ending.




Well, this movie is a perfect mindfuck.





And by "mindfuck" I mean: lots of incoherent, senseless bullshit thrown around, to appeal mindless hordes of plebeians, so they can say "EVA IZ GREAT COZ ITZ A MINDFUCK!!11 IT HAZ LOTZ OF PSYCHOLOGICAL STUFF (the very basics BTW) AND LOTZ OF SYMBOLISM!!!!!!!!!! IF U NO UNDERSTAND IT U MAD!!! (not that mindless plebeian understood it either, but he won't admit it)"

+someone got the concept of evolution so fucking wrong that it actually hurts. In the end, whole evangelion plot doesn't hold water. Better even - IT DOESN'T MATTER. "Mindfuck" is all that matters. My guess is - mindfuck is very appealing to otakus/plebeians/pokemanz becouse it screws with their minds. And I bet 99% of said otakus, etc don't take drugs, so they're satisfied with what their favourite medium delivers as a substitute. [*break for dinner*] After seeing NGE and EoE, those who took lsd will probably say "hmmm... I've seen something similar before," those who watch anime for plot/fights/etc and disregard "mindfuck" (me...) will be dissatisfied (if not disgusted) with them (NGE and EoE).

It seems funny that, when people dislike something, they always try to insult the fanbase of said thing to somehow justify their dislike.

It was cool, whatever.

I prefer the ambiguity of episodes 25+26 as the real ending. No shock value, just Shinji accepting himself. Because it's more important to love one's self before even bothering with what is reality and is life worth living.

Though it got tiring to watch slideshow fever, looped animation, and still frames forever for the actual series and the recorded segment of this movie even if it was just to make a point. It was agonizing to watch. Incredibly so. To the point where I wanted out several times but stayed just to finish. I choice I mildly regret, but I'll stand by my first statement.

I find that with the endings to both the series and EoE I have needed to step back afterwards to reflect...only then do I begin to really comprehend it. I really liked EoE, it brought more closure than the series' ending did, mostly because it placed a greater emphasis on the other characters (though what did Misato have in store for Shinji when he came back? <shudders>) It was great to see Asuka finally snapping out of her depressed funk to kick some ass. As for the very end, I assume that Shinji and Asuka are meant to be some sort of Adam and Eve symbolism and it appears that their feelings for each other are finally more expressed (Asuka caressing Shinji's cheek) and her "how disgusting" quote shows that her personality has finally returned. As for what happens to Shinji and Asuka? Well I really don't know but they certainly were meant to be together if they both rejected instrumentality. It's certainly a bittersweet ending...

The table flip scene was the best scene I've ever seen in anime

ASUKA

he totally jacked off in the beginning

...How am I supposed to rate this?

I came upon NGE knowing it was NOT Code Geass but one giant mind rape. I was expecting more of a Bokurano vibe, really.
I soon discovered that it was more psychological than depressing, as in a shit load more symbolism and in-depth thinking. If I had known that from the beginning, I would have planned some space inbetween episodes.

I just marathoned the entire Neon Genesis Evangelion series, immediately followed by End of Evangelion.

I now truly know what it means to be mind raped. I thought I knew before, as if it was just something that left you confused or depressed (like Cat Soup or Ima Soku ni Iru Boku, no big deal), but no, that's not it. That's just minor mind molestation. Some might even say it's the innapropriate flirting between a teacher and his student that never results in physical contact, just awkward conversations.

But no. That was a full-on mind fuck.

And the result: ...I didn't like it. I didn't dislike it.
I really don't know. I think I understand the main jist of it, but there were so many parts, details large and small, that I have multiple theories about or have no clue whatsoever and can't figure out even after reading numerous forums and webpages. I am just really confused and don't know what to make out of it. I had problems with the series's end, so this was a nice conclusion, but while it explained some things, it ruined any chance I thought I had for making sense of this show.

...But it's not that unpleasant. I guess I like that I can speculate on so many different things. I'm given a myriad of thought possiblilities on single subjects from this show, which I've honestly never had after watching anything before. But I still don't know what I think of this show overall. I think it's something I'll have to keep rewatching over the years and pick up more and more things to consider before I really start to understand it. So it's not bad.

?/10

Jesus, what a mindfuck. After watching the entire Higurashi series in its entirety, I can still comfortably say that that was the most fucked-up, intense thing I've ever watched in my life.
It was AWESOME.

I just want to say that I thought this was awesome but I have no idea how to rate this.

The Third Impact is basically just surrealistic symbolism for the connections between people. Don't look at it as something logical, but allegorical.

Most of the characters in EVA (particularly the pilots as they're confused teenagers) have difficulty connecting with others emotionally, and the Third Impact brings all the people together as one consciousness, so they don't need to worry about being hurt by others anymore. But it's at the cost of their individuality as people. Shinji realises that, and rejects the instrumentality, accepting who he is as an individual.

And this is all stuff that the show points out very clearly in Episodes 25 & 26 of the TV series. This movie is the same thing, just with a giant naked Rei melting people into tasty primordial soup lol.

Ok, overall, it was boring. But I liked it. 8/10

what the fuck did i just watch?

I watched this movie awhile ago and loved it! I thought it all brought most everything into light and really was the best conclusion for a show I have ever seen. I think one of the only things that did not make any sense to me in the movie/ show (if anyone could shed light on this for me) exactly what the hell did Comander Ikari want differently than freaking seele. Was he just trying to use the instrumentality project to become god-like so he could form his own future vision? Because he seemes OK with what happened at the end of the movie (everyone bursting into LCL or whatever the essense is called) and that is whate Seele wanted too. So why the big fight and conflict?
Anyway it was truly a masterpiece
