That was literally the rest of the episode if I'm remembering correctly.

Not so much angry as seriously confused. It definitely seemed like they ruined a good thing with a heaping pile of meaningless bullshit.

I love this scene. mostly because of the sputtering outrage it caused.

Thank you nerds. Without you, we'd never have a movie where the first scene is the main character masturbating to a comatose girl.

Hmmph! I do that all the time and nobody ever congratulates me!

Then this video is for you, Rudy.

Is this real? Is this a thing?

It's real:

whoa slow down Caminan...I mean, DQL

It goes on like that for pages and pages.

It is a show that pretty much requires you to be 15 when you watch it to appreciate it. I recently remembered this entire show existed and looked up the end (but not The End) and laughed for like five minutes.

If the Penguin squaking congratulations doesn't make you guffaw, well, we're on different wavelengths.

Actually this is only half of how this series ends. This is basically what is going through his mind during the last moments of the show, after everyone on Earth has died, leaving him and Asuka to be the only ones left alive.

And then I never watched anime again!

To clarify that, for those who never watched this series, there was so much fallout from fans about the end to the show, Gainax made 2 more "finale" episodes as a response that literally were only made to totally fuck with the people who endlessly complained about the show. It's fucking brilliant.

Considering End of Evangelion was actually consistent with the plot established in the TV series (unlike the final TV eps) it makes sense to consider it the real ending. But the first movie is best forgotten because it turned out to be another exercise in running out of money and just slapping what you had in the can.

Then there's the still ongoing "tetraology" or whatever of redo movies, the third is to be released soon which is pretty much a retelling of the series in motion pictures with theatrical animation that look like clip shows complete with lots of slow pans and other TV-series style padding (and shoehorned in a new female pilot I guess to base more merchandise on, she has glasses after all)

Part of the reason I looked this up was because people were talking about the new movies.

I don't know if it's good or not, but I can tell you one thing: it's not a fuckin' clip show. The wikipedia explanation sounds completly fucking insane.

The new film is crazy.

The remake movies are fuckin great.

First two I could take or leave but the Evangelion 3.0 movie is a thing of immense beauty

"shoehorned a new pilot"

...you mean ADDED a canon character into the show that was missing the entire time?

Yeah, it's not a new character. I haven't even read the manga (or ANY MANGA, EVER) and I know this.

That was from that fancy movie that hardly anyone in the US got to watch.

Here's what you remember.

Basically it's like if Lars Von Trier directed an animated movie.

It's so many levels of unbelievably stupid.

From the youtube comments: the series [has, among other things,] an anti-escapist message. If you're spending way too much time with TV, anime, video games, manga, books, what have you, you're running away from reality.

A bit of escapism every now and then is a good thing. Relying on escapism to avoid [...] pain is not.

Every opinion you have on anime is utterly wrong.

I know it's your opinion, but it's still wrong.

It's for the best that you're never going to be smart enough to understand how little that means coming from someone like you.

Wait, that's what happened!? I thought the end was that Shinji reversed whatever apocalyptic fuckery was going on and he and Asuka just washed up on a beach somewhere.

Fuck this anxiety disorder of a show.

The other explanation is that people were reunited with their loved ones - anyone who became Tang could eventually return to human form if he or she willed it so. Shinji and Asuka were simply the first ones to do it.

Oh, to relive the VHS/ADV Films era... when all six episodes of "Golden Boy" were spread across six 30 minute VHS tapes that cost $ 30 apiece. When subtitled anime actually cost MORE than dubbed versions. When ADV plastered their front covers with tits and wrote blurbs on the backs that made every title in their catalog sound like you were buying hentai, including the Slayers movie...

I remember those days.

I miss ADV.

ADV and Geneon were great. All the companies I liked went out of business and the one I didn't care for survived.

And now I'm told that ending was horrible too.

If you think "end of evangelion" was horrible, just stop existing.

Yes.

Feel so sorry for you.

The last two "episodes" of the show can be 100% ignored in favor of watching the End of Evangelion movie.
