Holy shit! That's just wrong! That right there! That's what you see in the damn depths of hell! Not even normal hell! That's like 9th circle shit right there! All that aside this is a fucking wonderful movie!

I'm here to inform you that you sir are a true anime lover if you have seen all of the Evangelion series. I got the DVD collection of the original series and the blu ray of the Rebuild of Evangelion 1.0 and 2.0. They're epicepicepicepicepicepicepic.

BTW love End of Evangelion

I HAVE THE SAME BOX SET! I also have the blu-ray version of 1.11, I need to order 2.22 some time soon. I also don't own End of Eva physically, DVDs for it go for about 40 bucks!

Same thing here with End of Eva. Too expensive. But hands down it has been one of the most twisted endings (and revindicating endings compared to that "sitting on a chair" crap) I have seen since Akira.

Last time I watched all of Eva i was in high school, same time as last watched cowboy bebop. I graduated in 2001. So yeah...it's been a while. Kinda curious how they hold up.

Pretty well in my opinion. Even to today's standards of animation it's pretty damn good when they tap into their budget. Also Eva is a bit of an ink blot, it means what you want to mean and depending on what you're going through in life it can mean something different than it did 12 years ago.

I get a lot of shit for this but I actually really liked the ending of the TV show. Sure it makes no sense if you haven't seen End of Eva. I liked that shinji realized that the only reason no one liked him is because he didn't like himself so he needed others to like him so that he could like himself. He comes to that realization and decides not to fuck over humanity and takes steps towards being a decent human being. Once again, it's a controversial opinion but I liked it.

I'll give you that. The meaning of the ending was not bad at all. I liked the dialogue a lot but after seeing so much gore along the way and then to have that non violent ending didn't satisfy my visual hunger for violence. Shallow huh?

Now as far as an epic ending I loved End of Eva! For gore End of Eva wins by a landslide! But I still prefer the actual ending.

I'll rewatch both at some point. Two of the best shows ever IMHO, and I don't really consider myself an anime enthusiast.
