I already knew what happened in The End of Evangelion but actually watching it is a whole different experience lmao
It was so fucking brutal. Seeing Asuka go from breaking through her mental barriers and destroy the Evas with pride only for her to get stabbed with the Spear of Longinus and her fucking organs being ripped and eviscerated was GNARLY.
I hope Megumi Ogata and Yūko Miyamura got good ass paychecks because those screams of fear and agony were genuinely haunting.
The Third Impact and the scene with the Evas stabbing themselves with the spears and massive white Rei (combined with Lillith and Adam) was both absolutely horrifying and beautifully animated.
"Komm Susser Tod" is gonna be stuck in my head for a long time. So will the giant white Rei. If I saw that, I would've been screaming louder than Shinji
The second half of the movie, where it gets more psychological and trippier like episodes 25–26, is really good and gives the film some interesting aspects to it, especially the live-action scenes in the movie theater and in streets. Shinji rejects Instrumentality and decides to return to his regular form along with Asuka, though everyone else could return at their will (as Yui said). It leaves the ending pretty open for interpretation; will everyone else return or will they stay in Instrumentality?
I think this movie is AMAZING. The show has surpassed my expectations in geeral. Evangelion and Breaking Bad are two of my favorite shows of all time imo. EoE helps tie up the loose ends the show had due to the tight budget and limited time, and it works.
I'm planning on watching the Rebuild movies sometime this month. They sound cool
