the symbolism in this series, in principle, is quite accessible and understandable, if you catch its essence. although, of course, without explanations of what is happening by those who have already watched it and read a lot about what is happening in the anime, it would be difficult to immediately look and understand what is happening at all)

That's how it was supposed to end, and not like in the last two episodes of the original - and the death of key characters, it's just tin....

The beginning was already promising, in the Soryu ward I liked how comments from angry fans and letters from Anno fans were woven into what was happening 25 frames. Powerful. I'm impressed.
That's just with Shinji's snot came out a strong bust, there are more of them here than in the whole series.

I didn't understand anything again. Apparently, it is not given to me to comprehend the whole secret message of this work. Perhaps after some time, after I think about it, it will come to me. But this is not accurate :)
It's like with Interstellar. I had to revise it three times to realize the full depth of the idea.

But the fact that I didn't understand the ending didn't make Evangelion any less iconic and interesting.

And yes, it's a little unpleasant to realize that every year you give more and more preference to entertaining films, TV series and other nonsense without a semantic load:(

I watched this movie before watching episodes 25 and 26, so this is the canonical finale for me now. :)

I understand this is an alternative ending, which could have been instead of the last two episodes? It turned out much better.
Psychedelic, of course, is still the same, but at least these episodes do not break out of the main plot of the series. Although after the last seconds I was left at a loss. What was that all about? In the fast-changing shots in the middle of the series, I just had a headache and had to turn away...
I also didn't quite understand what the documentary footage was about.
But overall, it's impressive.

@FringeMania: not really "alternative"
In the original, we saw the processes of Complimentation from the inside, and immediately we were shown what was happening outside - both canon, it just happens in a confusing parallel

I liked the final episodes of the series more.
And it was worth watching just to see what was happening behind the scenes of the last series.

I enjoyed watching the apocalypse unfold (and the splendor of Rey heh), but the ending here is more gloomy. Although... Asuka also strokes Shinji's cheek when he strangles her, which shows that she treats him well, even when he injures her so. Perhaps this is a metaphor for the will to live (her soul is not her soul - she will still be, because Shinji eventually stopped and burst into tears), but I'm not sure about anything. We'll have to live eh

I reviewed the whole Eve for the second time and only now fully understood exactly what happened there, and now for the second day I'm thinking about myself and whether I would have remained broth or not. Well, it's interesting, of course, what percentage of humanity will find the will to return to its former form, and how humanity will live after such a thing in general

somehow, Toji and a second school friend were very rudely merged, about whom there was not a single mention at all after their evacuation, even in Shinji's psychological shake-up. sad!

a month after the series, I return to watch this ending
and the conclusion that I made during this time is that all the legend and greatness of Eve is not in the viewing itself, but in what remains in my head and soul after it
, but of course, the brain takes out the full program

After 2 years, the audience was invited to look at what was happening around Shinji. This time, 2 additional episodes look quite like a full-length. However, for some reason, a lot of Shinji's whining was added to it. Well, a lot. You doubt that anyone expected it to look serious.

But as soon as the narrative shifts from the student to the characters around him, it immediately becomes clear — they are not joking here. Asuka's suffering is quite understandable, her behavior has been screaming about it since her appearance in the series. Kitsuraga's last words addressed to Shinji perfectly complete the disclosure of her image. Here everything is revealed, and the commander of Ikari, and the Forces, and the staff of the geofront.

It's a pity that in the end, the action went back to Shinji's head. This has already been shown, just now, in the previous two series.

But the twist with the fact that Shinji, one of the few, did not want to run away from the pain of relationships and merge with everyone into soup especially contrasts with all his whining for these almost 30 episodes.

Oh, my God, what a sad fuck. It's just incredible!

If you have been building a suburban fazenda for a conditional 5 years, and after the expiration of the period you present a dildos, then this does not mean that you are a cool Creator, it means that you are just a hypocritical Cocksucker.

That's what aimlessly wasted time means. It's a shame. I'm shocked. How can you shit everything like that?

We looked here with a friend "Evangelion" and "The End of Evangelion".
I reviewed it four years later, already carefully, he looked for the first time. What can I say?
Despite the multiple psychological problems inherent in Lilith's creations, Children put all other Lilim under their belts.
Arriving at the Black Moon and Tokyo 3 standing above it, the Third Gigachad Child from the world of gigachads, a sample of titanium eggs shaking throughout the confrontation with the children of Adam, and the owner of the most powerful AT-field, only thanks to which he levels his own gravity.
The first Child, the vessel of the Soul of the Second Angel, in turn, is the embodiment of Murphy's law, and since of her maternal relatives we have only Angels who regularly try to break through to their aunt, whose number, in turn, is much inferior to the divided number of Lilim even after the Second Blow, they have a full impact the above-mentioned law, because nothing other than the influence of this law can explain the finding of the prototype of the Type-14 positron rifle at the time of Ramiel's attack and the successful execution of Operation Yasim. Wonderful are your deeds, Lord, even if you are just a little blue-haired girl.

@id353531666:
The second Child, Soryu Asuka Langley, caused my friend's ass to burn for almost the entire viewing - which is not surprising, given her semi-German background. Ariil, who decided to work as a psychotherapist in his spare time, clearly pointed out to my friend that it was not good to offend the weak and the poor, and the second in terms of stupidity and the first in terms of bitchiness, the defender of the consequences of the First Blow for the presence in her manned combat equipment of the E class of a part of the soul of her closest relative, which at first plunged The second Child fell into a stupor, and then turned into an aggressive, fighting hamster, who ate fly agarics, without problems scattered nine mass-produced and cybernetically modified clones of Adam under the control of a pseudo-pilot system created on the basis of an Angel of Free Will.
Despite the regular mixing of the Klipot and Sephiroth Trees, during the Third Strike, the Tree of Life was properly sprouted, following all instructions, thanks to the Spear of Longinus and the test sample of Evangelion, Model 01, which assumed the role of Sephiroth Da At. Having become a God-like entity after absorbing the supersolenoid and merging within herself the seeds of Adam and Eve's life - the fruit of Life and the fruit of Knowledge, Yui Ikari in the core of Eve-01 gave the reins into the hands of the First and Third Child, which, merging together inside the true body of God, controlled by the aforementioned cloned hybrid Angel and Lilim, launched the project of Complementation of Humanity, better known by the name given to him in GEHIRN "Artificial Human Evolution".

@id353531666: The boundaries of the EGO blurred, the AT-fields of humanity disappeared, the Black Moon, serving as a focal point, began to pull together fragments of the common soul of Lilim, which were immediately drawn into the gates of the Gauf Room opened by Ayans. At the same time, Serial Evangelions, who formed a connection between Man and God, transferred all the energy of Yes, flying into orbit, and only witnessed the rebirth of the world. Having merged with the EGO of all mankind and restored his self from the fragments of other people's souls and memories, having dealt with his problems, mental abnormalities and obsessive self-hatred, the son of the former commander of the special institute NERV at the UN Security Council rejects Lilith's proposal for eternal fusion Lilim is with her, being at this moment a representative, the voice of Lilim, and decides that the Light of the Soul must continue to bring him Absolute Horror.

@id353531666: Thanks to the decision of Ikari Shinji, a gigachad from the world of gigachads and the ex-Deity who decided the fate of Lilim, every member of the human race is able to return to his EGO and return his body when he can collect his "I" in the LCL ocean - which, according to the Second Angel, is not only possible, but it will certainly happen thanks to the will to live, which all creatures of the Fruit of Knowledge possess. Ironically, the first resurrected one, except for God himself, was the one who always considered herself the first - the Second Child, Asuka. However, on the other hand, we know for sure that collecting my "I" from the primary broth is a very unpleasant process - this is confirmed by her first words in the new world and body: "Fuck, how fucked up I am..." Perhaps Ikari Jr. contributed to this condition by arranging an unscheduled asphyxia session for her.
Despite some confusion at the moment of the Third Blow, the authors explained what happened very transparently, clearly and accurately, giving us a view of both the internal processes of Complementation and its appearance from the outside.
What is the moral? Don't poke scientific equipment at Adam and don't mess with the Oedipus Complex. Freud would have made a fortune.
In short, fuck knows what you didn't understand there in Evangelion, the thing is cool, everything is clear. And the end answers a lot of questions - at least if you squint with one eye at the Wiki and the X-files.
