They're not profound they just ran out of time and money. Watch End of Evangelion
Absolutely filtered
Just watch the last two episodes by pausing after every sentence, think about it and repeat until the end of the episode. It's a literal cure for depression
Congratulations!
You absolute homosexual. End of Evangelion is infinitely better than the last few episodes of the series.
Let me guess, you also like the rebuilds after 2.22
Skill issue.
They weren't profound, the show is for angst ridden teenagers still looking for a greater meaning in life. Evangelion is just a rip off of Space Runaway Ideon, and the producer even admits it. Watch that instead. That ending is profound.
And attack on titan is a ripoff of this. Though i feel like it has a more coherent story.
>They're not profound they just ran out of time and money. Watch End of Evangelion
This. Don't watch the last two episodes and watch EoE and you have one of the best experiences ever!!!FACT!!!
> but I don't understand
Just take it easy, man.
Born again, unto your maker. Pretty heavy handed, OP
Japs are Christian now?
they are profound
dont listen to any of the other morons in this thread
move on with life, and in a couple years rewatch the series and the final episodes.
you'll probably understand then and be happy for it
Evangelion is literally about how communism is bad
watch the first movie, end of evangelion, i found myself understanding more of the film and anime series on repeated watches.
also for the record i quite enjoyed the new rebirth films, but they should never be watched until you've seen the original anime series, then the movie a few times, and when you're desperate for more, go watch the rebirth films, they're amazing in that order.
The ending is also much closer to the manga too.
I happen to hold the only one of two copies of an edit that grays the last two episodes into End of Evangelion. It's Fricking dope
No you don’t.
How should I prove it to you
Watch EoE or you fricked up.
>profound
This is what 14-year olds think is profound, OP
>My emotional instability makes me DEEP!
EVERYTHING IN NGL ANSWERED:
>What are the angels?
The primogenitor of Adam, one of the seeds of life set out into space by the First Ancestral Race (FAR)
>What are the FAR?
Ancient ayys who have since ascended to a higher plain of existence. They sent out moon-sized "egg" ships with a primogenitor organism inside of it to cultivate life on other worlds. The rule was 2 eggs couldn't exist on the same world as it their genetic material combining would frick up all of reality.
>What's Adam?
The original/intended primogenitor organism for Earth. It had the "Fruit of Life" which meant supreme physical size/power but low intellect. Landed billions of years ago and started to grow life resembling angels.
>What was 1st impact?
Due to some sort of malfunction, Lilith's egg accidentally crashing into the earth. It created the moon from the debris. Happened long before the dinosaurs. Lilith's egg-shipped was so damaged that its control AI/mechanism (the lance of longinus) was destroyed. To prevent 2 seeds from co-existing on the earth, the control lance of longinus on adam's ship put it and its children (angels) into suspended animation to solve the problem. Thus Lilith's offspring inherited the earth by a fluke.
>What was SEELE?
a secret illuminati that has been controlling the earth for millennia, their goal was to elevate humanity into its highest possible form. The cult began sometime in ancient times when humans discovered Lilith buried underground (SEELE took her mask as their symbol). However Lilith’s control manual (dead sea scrolls) Were destroyed, so they had no idea what it was beyond a superior lifeform. NERV is their proxy agency.
Thanks. I watched it twice and I still don't get it. Nolan could make a movie about it.
Nolans a hack, he's over the hill, him adding the cringy woke shit into his films hurts them even more.
Too much fart sniffing, not enough hard work.
I liked Tenet, wish I saw it in theaters. I was making a joke about Nolan's poorly explained sci-fi plots.
oh, i got his intentions with interstellar and inception, inception was his best and last good film frankly, Interstellar was engaging in rapid fire heavy duty fart sniffing at the end, Nolan fricked up the ending soo bad, i "understood" it, i just think its fricking stupid.
No director could ever do NGE justice
Post-90s Anno can't even do it justice
sad but true, the rebuilds are the best we're ever gonna get imo.
just read the manga.
90s anno couldn't do it justice. The show has great concepts that have never been executed remotely well.
>What was 2nd Impact?
After finding the dead sea scrolls (in truth an alien operation manual for how the egg-ships worked, made easy to read for other races by the FAR) they decided this was the best way to achieve their goal. They were able to track down Adam's resting place in Antarctica and sent a ignorant research team about discovering new alien life when SEELE/inner circle members like Gendo and Yui knew what it already was. Gendo/Yui set up the expedition then left.
When Adam woke up he was made that Someone in the expedition (implied to be the guy that Kwarou’s body is based off of) sacrificed themselves by plunging into Adam with the lance of longinus, putting it back into suspended and stopping the process halfway. However, it fricked up the earth greatly and also had the result of waking up the angels, who would take years to rise as they’re big dumb slow monsters
>What is the purposed 3rd Impact/Human Instrumentality Project?
Depends on the faction. The Angels wanted to meet Adam (who they thought was under Tokyo when it was actually Lilith, Angels are stupid) and begin his process of wiping out all human life so they could inherit the Earth. Gendo wanted to use it to fuse with Yui inside Unit 01 for eternity (who knows what happened to the rest of the world). SEELE wanted to use it to have all human souls “power” the mass-produced evas, each of which would be controlled by one of their members (Mass produced Evas = same number of SEELE members) that would transform them into god-like beings and the pinnacle of human existence.
>What actually happened with 3rd Impact at the end?
Rei (a clone of Lilith/Yui, more on that later) ended up defying Gendo’s orders and initiating her own version, which is all human souls combining into 1 to eliminate insecurities and negative emotions. People who still want to truly experience bonds while also being separate beings capable of feeling rejected could break out of it if they wanted
>What is Rei?
A physical clone of Yui with the soul of Lilith implanted into it. A creation of Gendo to both achieve his ends and cope with losing Yui. There were 3 clones as they kept dying. The 1st one was strangled to death by Gendo’s lover Dr. Naoko Akagi after it insulted her (the spiteful side of Yui becoming b***hy at seeing Gendo with another woman) and its soul was put into Unit 00 (hence why when Unit 00 went berserk it went after Dr. Akagi’s daughter Ritsuko). Rei-2 is the version we see throughout the series, it gets killed by Armisael. Rei-3 is a new clone made after that. Each version of Rei has the “Lilith” inside her take over more and more.
>What was Kawrou? What was his deal?
A physical clone of a researcher from the 2nd Impact expedition who fused with Adam while trying to stop it (name unknown). The soul of Adam was inserted into him by SEELE as a way to potentially combat Rei/Lilith if Gendo went rogue. After Gendo stops cooperating with SEELE they send Kawrou to initiate 3rd Impact, hoping that Kawrou would be tricked and not realize it’s Adam’s body underneath NERV but Lilith. When Kawrou realizes this he realizes hes been played and lets Shinji kill him. After his death SEELE no longer has any options but to attack NERV directly to do what they wanted
>What’s the deal with Shinji’s mom?
Yui was the driving antagonist of the series and probably a sociopathic manipulator who loved Shinji but nobody else. Her goal was to apparently initiate Rei’s version of 3rd Impact, while also keeping herself inside Unit 01 as a reminder to the physical universe that mankind ever existed. She fully manipulated Gendo throughout all of it and set up Shinji as a sacrificial lamb. She intentionally initiated her “Accident” that had her combine with Unit 01 for the purpose of achieving her goals. At the end of the series she floats through the void of space inside Unit 01 for all eternity.
>It's the "Yui was the antagonist" schizo again
Obviously insane but most importantly completely filtered by an attempt to understand everything thoroughly. Same kind of brainlets that try to decipher everything in say Mulholland Drive instead of understanding the subject matter emotionally.
>What’s the deal with Asuka’s mom?
She was a researcher at NERV who tried to repeat the “accident” that Yui had just gone through. Hers also went wrong, except rather than disappearing fully into Unit 02 only her matronly side did and she went insane. She eventually hung herself with a doll she played with, but her loving side still existed in Unit 02 (which Asuka discovers in EoE).
>What happened to Kaji?
Killed by either SEELE or NERV goons for being a triple agent. It’s not relevant who and it’s not a named character
>Why did Aoba see little naked Rei’s instead of a loved one like everyone else during Instrumentality?
This is the default version of what you say if you really weren’t connected to anyone truly. He lived an empty life and kept others at a distance.
>What was the deal with the SEELE leader? Why was he a robot?
He was an ancient being kept alive through advanced cybernetics, when he got tang’d it revealed his non-organic parts
>What was that thing in Gendo’s hand?
The devolved physical form of Adam that Kaji was able to steal from SEELE. He implanted it into himself to combine himself with Rei and initiate his version of 3rd Impact.
>What did Gendo say to Ritsuko Akagi before shooting her
“I needed you”, same thing the ghost of Ritsuko writes on the laptop of maya before tanging her.
>What happened to Gendo at the end?
For abusing Shinji and being a c**t, Yui/Rei/Lilith “condemned him to mu” (nothingness). He is the only person who doesn’t turn into tang/get elevated into the soul merger.
>What was with Shinji’s crazy mindfrick in EoE?
Him inside Instrumentality, he eventually snaps at his vision of Asuka and loses himself in depression for a bit before coming to the same realization at the end of 25/26 and resulting in him breaking out of the soul merger
>What was the deal with the ending of EoE?
After Shinji breaks out of Instrumentality he’s alone on Earth for a very long time (Eva pilots age slowly and he had a sea of LCL to live off of). Eventually Asuka breaks out too and he’s so crazy from his experiences and isolation he thinks he’s hallucinating. He tries to strangle Asuka to see if he’s really still inside instrumentality, as inside instrumentality nobody reacts unexpectedly to you no matter what you do. Inside of just laying there like a dead fish like the first time he strangled Asuka she reacts in an unexpected manner, and Shinji realizes she’s real and breaks down and cries. Asuka remembers Shinji fapping to him and says it was gross.
>What was the deal with episodes 25/26 of the anime?
It’s basically Shinji inside instrumentality coming to the conclusion that bonds are worth it even if you experience hardships (see the ultimate message answer below). He is congratulated by the “perfect” reality inside Instrumentality for reaching this epiphany.
>Which ending really happened? EoE or episodes 25/26?
Generally, it’s accepted EoE is what happened in the real world while episodes 25/26 were inside the various characters heads while they were in Instrumentality. Why Anno did the original ending is still a matter of debate, from his depression to hating the fans to running out of animation money/time.
>What is the ultimate message of Eva?
Human interactions were worth it, even if you experience pain along the way. That’s it.
>What was with the Christian imagery?
Looked cool
The last two episodes literally translate to "go touch grass, nerd, stop living in a fantasy world lmao".
Same as the rebuild movies end.
I need to watch the rebuilds. I found End of Eva funny because it was like "Oh, you didn't touch the grass, now I'm going to punish you and leave you with media induced trauma lol".
last two episodes take place inside shinji's broken brain
End of Evangelion takes place in the film's world during the last two episodes, tonight you will watch EoE and see the peak of anime
It wasn't profound, the creators had no idea what they wanted to do. A generation of journos & bloggers just convinced everyone that its the greatest anime ever so people keep watching it out of curiosity.
fooly cooly did what neon genesis tried to do, in only 6 episodes flat.
I also wanted to mention that I loved the first two NGE rebuilds but I understand why people hated 3 as it jolts you into a timeskip and throws you into a new world that feels alien with all of the characters feeling different, more or less, while 4 felt like Anno had written himself into a corner and wanted to top EoE in terms of esoterica but just went up his own ass.
I will say that I do love the ending and seeing Shinji and Mari leave the station as it transitions into live action did bring me to tears!!!FACT!!!
Then watch the Rebuild of Evangelion.
Or I recommend better reading the Evangelion manga. It even had a better ending.
