I heard a take once that the end of Eva proper is shinji coming out of the goop and deciding he wants to live edit that one time after he is subsumed into the lcl and I like that take a lot, but also I've decided that any time someone talks about it I'm just going to talk about digimon tamers instead

It rules. Anno started off making a kind of revisionist mecha show and it got way out of hand its great really. I think each ending has its own substance to it but gently caress if End of Evangelion doesn't have one of the best battles in any anime ever.


Edit: I think the rebuilds are loving nutso and not worth your time.

Its legit very good but its not for everyone, gets super depressing, has some real :wtf: moments, and has one of the creepiest anime fanbases which is really saying something

Its a very, very cspam show though, and like what was said above it was made by some very talented people and has some absolutely legendary fights (especially the one in EoE)

Eva is absolutely worth watching. It's incredible and even if you don't dig it you can probably find something to respect about it since it has been hugely influential in so many ways.

Even if you dont enjoy evangelion you should still probably watch it because of the impact it had on the medium. Unless of course you are completely bereft of any time at all.

The rebuilds are worth your time for just how nutso* they are. Also they have great animation. And it’s the same continuity. They aren’t remakes.


*So crazy that the craziness extends to the real world. It’s rumored (and there is some evidence) that the 4th one has been done for over a year (which it has but COVID delayed its release), translated into English (and other languages), and has just been sitting on Amazon’s servers waiting for some database flag to be marked “available” but studio Khara doesn’t want to release it. There is also the time studio Khara wanted the entire third movie retranslated because some exec misinterpreted English speaking fan reaction.

EoE is also great for how over the top it is. It feels like someone trying to parody EoE having only read the Wikipedia summary and seeing a few grainy clips
on YouTube, except that’s the actual movie.

I wouldn’t say it’s very CSpam though. Or at least it’s not very leftist in a “It’s easier to imagine the end of the world (and maybe getting some relief from your depression, but probably not) than the end of capitalism” kind of way.

Now Umurangi Generation is literally CSpam + Eva + Pokemon Snap**. Go play it, it’s amazing.

** It’s a much, much better photography game than New Pokemon Snap. Nintendo should be embarrassed that they were outdone by a game made largely by a single person.

eva is not leftist but it's incredibly good. Anno is an incredible director and the entire series, from the original to EoE to the Rebuilds, is an act of love.

It's not the end of the world. It's just the end of individual human society as everyone merges into one collective whole.

I'm going to rewatch them whenever the last one rears its head - but I remember the pacing being confounding.
