On this day in 1996, the unconventional final episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion first aired on TV Tokyo. How do you think you would feel about Evangelion if this was the only ending we would ever get?
it's funny how people often treat Anno as the auteur behind eva when looking at his filmography it feels much more like Eva is a beast of its own that possessed Anno to bring about its own creation that refused to let him go until he made Shin Eva.
Gunbuster is Eva in microcosm, Nadia is the series Eva was conceptualised as a sequel to, Love&Pop and Shin Gojira are both intimately tied to End of Eva and Shin Eva, respectively...
Sadamoto, Masayuki, Tsurumaki, Hashimoto, Yamashita and others have proven Eva can exist without Anno, I'm not so sure that Anno can exist without Eva.
I like how NGE can refer to either an angsty abstract anime, or Chris Penn as a crook who's on much better terms with his dad than the lead from the other NGE is with his dad
GKIDS is running a limited engagement of The End of Evangelion is in theaters this month, so it's time to brush up, because I haven't watch the series start to finish in like a decade.
