      I honestly wished i watched this subbed first. Hearing all of this was definitely confusing for me, it felt like a huge onslaught on the senses,but reading it in subtitled form was so much easier!
      Now that i've truly experienced the ending, i can say its phenomenal. I've always loved Anno's sense of capturing the inner dialogue of the human mind and all the emotions that run along with it, and the last two episodes really put that into play. His sense of atmosphere is incredible all throughout Eva.

      His character works so well, he's like the reflection of ourselves, hell even Anno, the director said that Shinji is himself.
      "What part do you hate from NGE?"
      Anno answered "The part when i see myself", it's Shinji. Shinji is also despised by thousands, thousands that hate Shinji, hate Shinji because he's a reflection of themselves, depressing and human, just like them.

      YES! EXACTLY! The whole anime is not that dark and depressing, the message behind it and specially parts like this one is actually really hopeful and bright. For me it's more like an empty canvas rather than a blank wall. I don't know how to explain this but Jason Mraz said it in an interview a few months ago, life is empty and meaningless, but that's not a bad thing, it's up to us to give it meaning, we are hungry for meaning, like an empty cup, it's up to you what you fill it up with.

      @@MangoMagica He didn't make it to spite people.
      End of Evangelion was very, very true to the original concept for the ending. They ran out of budget and had to do an internal view of Third Impact instead of actually showing it on screen, which was fine because they'd intended to do that part anyway, they just had to extend it much further than intended.
      You can see large parts of the EoE story, including multiple deaths, in the anime ending. If all that was to spite the audience, it wouldn't have been in the "good" end.
      IMO EoE is the same timeline of events. The (majority of) the last two episodes happens during EoE, RIGHT BEFORE the real-life eyeball shows up. The eyeball is immediately after, and it represents Shinji waking up to reality after the "Congratulations" scene.
      The anime ending was internal - you have actualized, congratulations. The movie ending was external - you have actualized, good luck living in a world that is shit. The movie ending follows axiomatically from the TV ending. They are different perspectives on the same sequence of events. The anime portrayed actualization as liberating. The movie portrayed the fact that an actualized person still has to exist in a broken world.
      And that doesn't touch on the religious symbolism. Which, for the record, they claim is nonsense... but from the perspective of a certain religious sect, everything about that story, including the fact that the writers will not explain the symbolism and will instead explicitly tell you that it isn't there when it clearly is, weaves a very clear and much more complex interpretation of the narrative. But on that front, as Anno says, those are answers you have to find for yourself.
      Nah. EoE was the culmination of everything Anno was doing with that series. It was harsh because it was supposed to be harsh, not because he was angry.
      While I'm sure it irritated him that people didn't get it (and I'm sure it irritates him more that to this day most people still don't get EoE... and that they still think the Rebuilds are a rehash of the same ideas and not the very complex meta-narrative about the series itself and its fandom that he's clearly weaving...) I'd wager he was more excited he actually got to do the ending he wanted, than irritated at the reaction.

Guts is a character you are supposed to have a retrospective on, Shinji is a character that makes you have an introspective. Beserk is great because of the characters it has, it isn't supposed to be fully human.

There are times you are stubborn because you know you are right and a good, just person, but others make you feel worhless, bad and make you think you are the opposite of what you strive to become. Maybe Shinji admited that the diffrence between how others see him (a guy that needs help and will get throught it if he tries harder) and how he sees him (he admits he has to accept that he matters because he is a human) is not too diffrent. But there are other cases when you do your best and the only ones around you are dicks and bitches like Gendo or Asuka that only call you ”infantile crisis boy” or ”stoopid fool” and use you only because you are useful to them, but they refuse to payback as them being useful to you.

      Hey man I'm happy for you! That's what I myself experienced and tried to convey in another comment- it takes time for these things to actually click. It's one thing to know that there is a better future for you that you can create, and it's another to actually feel it through and understand it.
      Seems crazy to me how it's likely that every person has to come to this realization by himself. Conveying this in words doesn't really work as it's not simply an idea, it's almost a state of being, an acceptance of something. I guess that's the reasons why it can be so hard to deal with things like these sometimes

    It really breaks my heart when people say "Shinji is a whiny bitch." He defiantly suffers from Hedgehog dilemma & is afraid to socialize with others! This is most likely because his father left him when he was a child, most kids that grow up without a father deal with people differently because they didn't have a father figure in there life to look up too. It's worth mentioning that Shinji's mother was for the most part not around, she was around when Shinji was was much younger but she's gone. Shinji doesn't want to polite unit 01 because he sees the world as it is, he's not getting anything out of it, his father still doesn't talk to him or want to live with nor does he have a special person in his life at all! He has low self esteem issues and can't express his feelings towards anyone. One parent is dead while the other like Rei instead of Shinji. So when I hear people say " Shinji is a whiny bitch." I hope people will look deeper into Shinji, because he's been threw a lot in his life!

      At first I tought he was just an indecisive kid ruining everything.
      But when you realize poor Shinji deals with rejection from parents, pressure from everyone else, causing him depression during the most messy part of a person's lifetime (teenage)... it makes you understand why he does what he does. And yes, many people think people under depression are just "whiny pussies"

      There is no ”whiny bitch” in this world. Those whom we tend to call whiny bitches are people that have the wrong personality regarding the trouble they face ahead. The real whiny bithces are mostly sopiled brats and ”daddys girl” because they had someone to care for them and offred the all the needing. This is why they are those spoiled kids that sometimes grow into adults and annoy the people around them. Regarding Shinji, he is anothe story. As I said, he has ”the wrong” personality when fighting his own problems and goes ahead with inertia, without having a real purpose that he tries to achieve. Look at Asuka. She had a similar problem like Shinji, but her personality helped her face her problems and she did not care for most of the show. This is because she fought her problems with improving herself and aiming high, being the best and only the best. When Shinji overpassed her skills, she became like him, mentally brokedown. Because her will to continue living was killed by the simple fact that Shinji was improving. Regarding Shinji, his will was to be recognised and loved by others, but mostly by his father! His father was a dick(ok, he had his reasons, but still a dick)and that attitude towards parenting a child led his kid into looking for praise and the mention why he is important. Shinji wanted others to tell him his personna is impornant. But Everybody around him, (Asuka was a dick to him because she did not had a ”right personality” regarding helping someone with poor self esteem; Misato simply did not get involved into helping him mentally, she was just there to take care of him phisically, but almost no mental help; Rei was identityless, she had no personal thoughs and so she was not for much help) were not enough to make him feel that he matters. Look at Rei for example: Genbu made her feel important when she undertook that failed test because he sacrificed himself as a father to rescue her. He made Rei feel important. Nobody made Shinji feel important other than the guy who claimed he loves Shinji and he had to kill him in the end, complete mess up. In the end, Shinji had to go throught that weird simulation to accept that his personality in another world would have made him feel he matters truly.

    TL; DW:
    It's better to have suffering with the possibility of happiness, better to have definition than ambiguity, better for there to be noise than comfortable silence, even if it hurts.
    Because silence is boring nothingness. Because love can only exist between distinct things. Because suffering is the cost of happiness. And it's worth paying.
    Even if others hurt you, even destroy you - you owe them everything. Without their lines to delineate your own shape, you are formless. You only have existence, and no meaning to attach to it.
    Everyone's truth is defined by everyone else's truth. When you unconditionally accept the truth of another, that is love. Completely independent truths, all different, all simultaneously true, all simultaneously accepted.
    What we seek is, has always been, will always be, the harmony that exists when separation is dissolved, without the ennui that comes from having no definition of the self.
    Life is the delineation of separate forms, love is learning not to reject the boundaries formed by that delineation, but instead to be thankful for the definition they provide and to work with them, instead of against them.
    And also, if everyone's Tang, then no one can drink it.
    Delicious, delicious Tang.

    To be fair, you cant expect (most) 14-16 year olds to really appreciate this, let alone younger children. I think that is probably one of the main reasons why this ending got so much hate initially. Its only that we're older now that we can really appreciate this.

And not to sound naive, it obviously isn't always the case, but to view it completely opposite and say that the good days are past and the future holds nothing for you is also ignorant of the different good things in life that can happen, will happen, and that are already present in one's life.

    There are so many people in this world who hate themselves. They think they're worthless. Rei said in the ending scene that "if you do not love yourself, you won't be able to love others (or something along those lines)." I'm a Christian. I find value in myself for the fact that I can love myself and accept myself for who I am with the ability to show love and kindness to others through the Holy Spirit's love dwelling in me. If I was filled with hate and bitterness, I would be unable to love myself, and therefore wouldn't be able to love others and show them the kindness and appreciation that I share towards myself. Your self image...what's in your heart....is what makes you...you. If you close off yourself from others, you're insecure, and in a way reject yourself because you cannot get in touch with yourself or others. Deep isn't it?

    Your value in life is determined by you.
    Why? Because your mind = your own world where you are limitless and can mold into whatever shape you wish.
    But if your own little world has nobody but you, you won't be special at all. No matter what shape you mold into or whatever value you assign yourself, if there is only you, there is no difference between you and mundane nothingness.
    The way to fix this is to introduce the influence of others and external factors in your little world. The presence of others distinguishes your identity, because now you can use the barriers between you and others to differentiate each of your identities. In other words, the presence of multiple people (rather than one being) allows distinct identities to exist.
    So: While it is true that your value in life is determined by *you*, if you are all that exists, your self-determined 'value' would be meaningless and completely un-special at the end of the day. To give meaning to that "value" you've given yourself, you need the presence of others to distinguish your identity.

I think that with everyone around and all the new people whom came to be his friends he realized “I’m not alone anymore.”

    I thought I had not understood this anime, and thought it only left more depressed, and right now, after thinking I could feel no more, thinking I was totally depressed, and then I saw some Eva vids and I broke down in tears. I understood, not life, not me, not my feelings, but my worth. I understood that I choose my own path, and what makes my life worth to live is my will to live it, I can have the best life ever, I only need to live it and work hard, my life is worth living because I can learn to love myself, my life is worth living because I am me, and only myself can turn my life to the best turn.
    Evangelion isn't only about individuality, and giant robots, and it certainly isn't a anime that teaches you how to win against depression, but teaches you how to cope with it. Nothing in your life will take away your failures or bring back the "better days" but only yourself can choose to live, and even if you're at rock bottom, as long as you keep living, your life can be as good as you want it to be. You are yourself, and that makes you you. You are yourself, and that's what make you loveable. You are yourself, and that's what make your life worth living. So even if times are hard, live, until you love yourself, and until you can find your true happiness

    Real question: why do people constantly shit on Shinji? He gets into the Eva almost every episode without much complaints, unlike the first or late one. I was watching it and he didn’t even seem particularly whiny until his mental state was in collapse in the last few episodes, similar to how Asuka’s aggressiveness reached its peak similarly. The 2-3 times he didn’t want to get in the Eva, it was completely understandable. Spoilers below:
    Like when Gendo forced him to fuck Touji up or when he first tried to make Shinji get into an abomination that he barely understood after being estranged from him for years.

His father is a bastard and made his kid hate his life, but his partener, Nagisa, made Tomoya feel important again and he fought his bad sorroundings and became a person that admits he himself is important as a human being. Asuka was a dick to Shinji and contributed to him being in a constant crisis.

      @@caleb_artzs2533 You are right. If I have to be more precised, Gendo was responsible for 50% of Shinji”s emotional condition adn Asuka like 40% (the rest being combinations of other factors). The thing is that Gendo already lost all hope for rebuilding his relationship with his son so that is why I chose to eliminate him from the equation. Regarding Asuka, she could have become Shinji”s girlfriend and help him with the crap his life gave to him. I will give you a similar example. The anime Clannad(go watch it of you hadn”t, everybody should watch it!). Tomoya (the mai character) has a similar cold relationship with his father who is a dick like Gendo is to Shinji. His mother is dead(like Shinji) but he is happy and has a happy life for most of the show because his female partner he makes along the show, Nagisa Furukawa, is the exact person Tomoya needed and she helped him overcome the depression he was living because of his father. Asuka could have been for Shinji what Nagisa was for Tomoya, a person his age that understands his pain, but she didn”t. If Asuka understood his pain and helped him move on from the crisis he had, this show would have been much more happier.
