If you're angsty and hate your parents, you might like it.

i hated the ending...
what a shame for such a good anime series to end like this.
at least that's how i feel.
in the end they all went psycho.
i don't regret watching it though. it's a good anime.

if you hate the original ending then watch the "alternate (depending on who you ask) endind, the movie End of Evangelion. it makes more sence (storywise) and its got some awsome action scenes

. though personaly i reckon that the last two epps of eva are the best epps in any anime series ever.

Eva was one of those series that ALL the anime people I knew had seen...I was warned that it was weird, that it'd be a mindfuck, but most of my anime friends loved it, so I figured "What the hell? Why not?"

So I borrowed the whole damn series from a friend and watched it over a period of 2 weeks.

Initial reaction: WHAT THE FUCK?!

Now that I think about it, it wasn't so bad...it's such a fan favorite, I'm glad I saw it. But I don't particularly care for it myself. I wouldn't call it one of my faves.

Just give it a chance. If you like it, good for you! If you hate it, oh well, at least you can have fun Shinji-bashing like lots of people on this site. Come to think of it...pretty much everyone Shinji-bashes....

The following are two of my favourite Eva-related quotes, and I think they sum up my feelings about the series perfectly.

"Evangelion is like a puzzle, you know. Any person can see it and give his/her own answer. In other words, we're offering viewers to think by themselves, so that each person can imagine his/her own world. We will never offer the answers, even in the theatrical version. As for many Evangelion viewers, they may expect us to provide the 'all-about Eva' manuals, but there is no such thing. Don't expect to get answers by someone. Don't expect to be catered to all the time. We all have to find our own answers." Anno Hideaki -PA #43, translated by Miyako Graham from 11/96 Newtype

"If it's true that it has become popular in many countries, then it means that the whole world feels the same disease of the soul. This isn't something we should be happy about." - Yoshiyuki Sadamoto on Eva's International Appeal - Animerica Vol.6 No.8

Eva is definately about interpretation... but not THAT much of it is up for interpretation, just sum of the more conclusive stuff

and as for ending(s).. they are not alternate... people just say that because there is more than one, they are indeed the same endings, it's just that the tv version had to remove all the violence because they were getting in trouble with all the violent scenes they had just showed... so that little section in EoE that has shinji getting all intrapersonal... that's what they made the entire 2 last episodes about, so sum of it was extended over more characters, so that's where you get that whole 'Case 1' stuff

but anyway, they come to the same conclusion, so it's not alternate, life is gravy in both endings... it's just that EoE shows the actual new genesis with a twist

I've been using the avatar for years (since back in the days when most forums enforced this size).

As for the endings, well I've always believed that they are concurrent, they essentially show the same thing. In the series ending Shinji realises his life is worth living, and so he rejects Complementation and chooses to return to reality. In the movie ending, Shinji relises his life is worth living, and so he rejects Complementation and chooses to return to reality.

Overall I think the ending represents a message of hope.

I always thought that was the difference between the two, that Shinji rejects Instrumentality in the movie but <i>accepts</i> it in the TV ending.
