The authors ran out of steam and crap to throw at the audience, so they went the 2deep4u route.

Terrible ending?
What?
I personally found the ending to be amazing and that's what brings evangelion from good to actually great.

^this.

End of Evangelion grounded the whole series artistically and delivered a powerful message of self-reaffirmation and agency. It also took the characters to destinations in their development that highlighted not only the psychological impact of their external context, but also the fragility of their connections to each other in spite of their shared experiences.

Thank you for the link it explained a lot but there are still way to many unanswered questions. Its pretty sad that half the posts in this thread are just from fanboy's trying to bash me because i didn't enjoy the ending.

I do give NGE props because of the opening, its one of the best opening's i have ever heard and ill never forget it.

The original ending, was when they started to ran out of money. It wasn't that good.
But you've watch EoE. if you don't understand, just rewatch it. you need to see it for yourself

Well Shinji's discussion with those people IS really happening, inside of the entity that tries to absorb humanity into one being. Watch End of Evangelion since it's what the ending was originally planned to be. The show isn't written in a way that is supposed to make complete sense, you just need to think of your own explanation.

OP, a big part of that ending is a callback to Space Runaway Ideon, in particular its' finale movie Be Invoked. Some of the theories people come up with about things like the "Congratulations" scene always get me, when the answer is right there if you just watch that show.

End of Eva was essentially Anno's take one Be Invoked (great film btw)

Self-affirmation= Shinji's refusal to take part in the cowardly act that is becoming a massive sea of goo in which everyone loses their sense of individuality just to escape their fear of not being able to deal with others. Even if it means he may suffer for it as he has all along with all the selfish individuals he's had to deal with

The ending isn't bad from a thematic, and narrative perspective but it sucks because we are viewers and we wanted some closure that didn't involve avant-garde bs. They ran out of money but yeah End of Eva is better.

The breasts are different, and it's also quite possible that other parts of the real girl have been photoshopped.
