I just watched Don Hertzfeldt's It's Such a Beautiful Day and the ending was rather similar to Yui's desires for the Eva in End of Evangelion. Memory, existence. Bill is the Eva I guess. Not such a depressing movie.

Almost definitely a licensing thing, EoE is a gainax production and the rebuilds have been a new work under Studio Khara with separate agreements

EoE wasn't part of the remasters that ADV did several years ago, and I think Manga retains the license even today. I imagine Funimation has made some effort to acquire the rights to all the Evangelion TV and movie properties but I suspect whoever has the licenses is sitting on them.

If I could get my way the Criterion Collection would put out the next release of EoE on blu-ray, and it would have cool analysis and commentary and special features and a pristine transfer of the film.  Unfortunately my campaign of mentioning this occasionally on Facebook doesn't seem to be working...

That's true but it's not like we got many good anime DVD releases back then I still love and treasure the teenage horror my dumb eoe DVD first caused in me IMO and experience the best age to first binge watch the series and then watch EoE is when you're the age of the pilots I didn't stop listening to The Cure that whole summer. Thanks anno!

The first time I watched this series I couldn't tell what these things were. The shots would change so quickly, and the tanks are so densely stacked. Their individual shapes are almost completely obscured. I also like to contrast it against the many landscape shots of urban Japan where you see basically all the stuff that's in the water right there, but how it normally looks. Like those live-action shots, which I forget if they were in the last 2 episodes or EoE, but they are really just generic yet beautiful shots of Japan. The way all these mushed together tanks sit overlooking the drowned city.

The first six episodes are really good about presenting the city in complete standstill. There's a plethora of shots of empty streets, or streets occupied by weaponry, or trains with nobody on them etc. It's very unsettling from the outset and helps drive home the feeling of isolation all the kids and adults are experiencing in the shelter while they watch Shinji and the Angels destroy their home

Speaking of standstills and isolation. This is one of my favorite shots in the series. It's a quiet sunset watching these two inert giants while listening to the cicadas in the background, as if they had always been part of the scenery and not causing collateral all over the place an hour or so ago. It puts us in the shoes of NERV employees, who created monsters to fight monsters, looking up at them and realizing just how tiny we are.

I think my favorite shot in the tv show is either the elevator or the final shot of 24 with the music for very similar reasons. Animation is generally stylistically very adverse to still shots; often when a shot consists of a single frame they will pan over it or include lip flap. Pure stillness often is equated to "bad" animation because audiences assume production constraints but it's a very deliberate choice and can be quite powerful, just as it is live action cinema.

A lot of people love to discuss the plot, characters and philosophy of Evangelion, but they often seem to gloss over the show's amazing cinematography: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6O-id9uLvU Part of why I loved Shin Godzilla so much is because it just oozes Anno's style of cinematography and his knack for framing interesting shots, often of otherwise mundane things. I just love his imagery.

You should check out his other live action work because it's similarly entrancing. I could watch hours of his footage of power lines

Shiki-jitsu really does the empty city thing just as well, especially the locale where the main female character lives. It ends up feeling like this vast empty city where only one person lives.

I loving love all the technobabbl-y shots in Rebuild's take on operation Yashima, where it's just showing all the generators and wires and infrastructure carrying power to Shinji and the positron cannon, in large part because it helps emphasize the scope of the operation and the sheer number of people putting their fate entirely in Shinji's hands. Of course, the music and editing help a lot - the way it cuts from all the massive machinery and automated weapons at work, with the music swelling dramatically, to Shinji in the cockpit just trying to keep his breathing steady is incredibly powerful to me.

I think it also kind of adds a sense of gritty realism to a degree, too. Both Eva and Shin Godzilla have all these crazy, insane fantastical things happening juxtaposed with the mundane. NERV has all this amazing technology, but outside of NERV HQ, things look like 1990's Japan and not particularly futuristic (other than the buildings sinking into the ground). Even though it's in the future, they have (at the time) current technology like cassette players and Sega Saturns. Then End of Evangelion comes along and it kind does weird stuff with my brain and blurrs the line between animation and live action. This is why I said a while back that it could work well in live action, because sometimes it makes me forget I'm watching animation. And sometimes while watching Shin Godzilla, I forgot I was watching a Godzilla movie and not Evangelion.

My only option to watch Shin Godzilla while it was in theaters would have involved a three-hour bus ride (each way!) at a time when I was basically too sick to leave the house. I almost did it anyways

All those shots are reminding me of one of my favourite things about the original Eva series, which was the pacing. Right up until the last three or four episodes, where I thought the DC episodes went on a little too long (though I haven't watched the normal eps to compare), the whole show was just impeccably paced. So much happens each episode without you even realising things are happening so quickly, especially at the beginning, all the 'monster of the week' sorta stuff the series starts out with ends just before it starts to get stale, and you just so desperately want to see what happens next every time an episode ends. Watching the series for the first time over a period of a few days with a friend, we couldn't help but watch two or three episodes more than we'd intended every time we started. All in all, the pacing was probably the thing I came away from the show most impressed with.

One of the most impressive bits of art in Evangelion I think is how Gendo Ikari looks a shitton like Shinji but his beard and general design is just different enough that it only becomes clear at very specific times.

Yeah. It only hits you at very specific moments exactly how much of an older, more broken Shinji Gendo is.
