Neon Genesis Evangelion *spoilers*

<< < (7/7)

Garcin:
That's how the world ends folks: not with a whimper but with a squirt. . . .

I'm hear all week, try the beets.

nescience:
It's a real testament to the power of this series that such intentionally obfuscated and frustrating endings (both the original and End of Evangelion) that were admittedly made with little regard for plot resolution can still be fervently discussed six years later.

Also, I like the reading offered on the DVD commentary for "End of Evangelion" where Shinji is choking Asuka: he is attempting to evoke a human response from Asuka so he can know whether he is truly back in the human world of divisions and pain.  Sweet scene, finished off by "kimochi warui", which translates roughly into "LAAAME" or "God, that's pathetic" or "I'm going to be sick."

vavado:
I've always loved Eva and still do.

It's a love it or hate it series in my opinion and Hideki mostly did the plot lines to his feelings as a way of channeling his own problems with his father and the inadequacies he felt from him.  I remember him saying that in an interview.  At this point ADV is trying to make a live action version of Evangelion with the help from WETA, the people who did LOTR but it's on hold.  Some of the conceptual drawings at the WETA site are really cool but I particularly don't like ADV because they're going to mess it up and I think the  voice actress who does Asuka is part of ADV and I've always found her voice to be VERY annoying.  Oh well.
