Otaku Evolution Episode 239 – Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion

It’s been a little while, but I’m back! More Otaku Evolution to plug into your mind and blow it away… with its mediocrity.

Actually, I’m strangely proud of this one. I did get a bit sidetracked into talking at length about the Rebuild movies, but only as an avenue to compare the different endings of Evangelion‘s story, like the TV show’s end, the manga’s end, etc. I feel like I probably won’t get to doing review videos for the Rebuild movies, so this was my chance to talk about them while I was covering The End of Evangelion. But the movie EoE truly does stand on its own as a brilliant work of a visceral emotional gauntlet. read more

ANIME TOP TEN (LIST #2) – #8: End of Evangelion (1997)

 

 

Director(s): Hideaki Anno, Kazuya Tsurumaki
Screenplay: Hideaki Anno
Music: Shiro Sagisu
All things must come to an end and in End of Evangelion, pretty much everything does (at least for a while). When the plans of SEELE and Gendo Ikari clash, Shinji, Asuka, and NERV all get caught in the crossfire of their grand schemes. Again the themes of alienation, of miscommunication, come to light as Human Instrumentality comes to fruition. Shinji experiences a frightening truth about himself and the world around him. He is forced to confront himself and this new world, and what it says about him as a human being, and what it says about all human beings. The production values are quite good, though the visuals can be needlessly trippy at times, and the action is brutal and unforgiving. End of Evangelion is a great capper to a great series.
