Did anyone have any moments they found most depressing? I just watched EoE again and I'm a sad panda ; ___ ;

Oh my god why did I watch that ; _____________ ;

I guess I understand what you mean a little better

@Venez I'm not sure that's the case for me. When I watch something sad I tend to want to go crawl in a corner. But then again what I find "sad" is different than what most normal people find "sad", so maybe it is as you say and I'm just referencing a different type o...

Cutting in here: For my personally, I don't want to feel like I "missed it" I feel like I wasted my time by putting myself on the whipping post or something (Not saying any of you are making this painful, it's my own personal reaction). However maybe it isn't the messag...

There could be other reasons besides meaning that could cause sadness eh? What made it depressing for you CJD?

It was predominantly production and time more than anything . In a TV series, you have hard deadlines and when things like Tatsunoko losing cells and film in the middle of production , it puts everything behind schedule. The budget may have come into play in that they didn't have the money to t...

I remember hearing somewhere that the reason the last 2 episodes were as trippy as they were was because Anno wanted to end the series with Shinji smiling, and you couldn't have ended the series with a normal happy ending after Shinji kills Kaworu without ruining it...I think I might've hea...

Depressed? No. I was moved by Asuka's plight in the series, but at the end, everyone was more triumphant that you could possibly imagine. Happy Happy, Joy Joy. EoE, by contrast, was just the emotional equivalent of repeated blunt trauma, leaving me numbed, saddened and somewhat horrified at the...

I believe there is another exception present.

So at the end of EoE I'm assuming she was dead as well? Or would the bandages suggest otherwise?

It takes a bit to actually die from suffocation, he loosened up after the caress, so I assume she isn't dead. On a barren planet with no food or water I would assume you wouldn't live long past that though?

So first, let me preface this by saying I have 3 experiences watching Eva. The first was two years ago and while I did feel these things it was to a lesser extent. The second was last year and was the most severe and consequently what I'll describe. The third was just last month when I watched ...

I used to get affected by it. Mostly when I had first watched it. EoE was kind of rough. I think the weekend after first watching EoE (at a friend's house during a friday) was the worst. I just had a general ill feeling about it, mostly from a headache. But I'm over that now a days....

Does Evangelion ever make you sad when you really dwell on pieces of it? I tend to get some rather rough thoughts when I think about some of the themes of the show. It may sound ridiculous, that's why I'm just wondering if anyone else seemed to be a wreck during or after the show. Hopefully ...

Almost burst into tears when you see a life sized N2 mine.


Almost burst into tears when you see a damn nice picture of Rei.

I feel that's my reaction to too many things Evangelion related.

I realize this, I'm just saying there is a point where it becomes a little much. Again not saying anyone has done this, I've just seen it around when it's come to Evangelion.

I approve, did you make it or...?

As said before, it can be willed by Anno, in order to do something unexpected in 3.0 " Reculer pour mieux sauter ". Anno is too good, he can not do an shonen-Shinji without any purpose in mind. Agreed, I just hope it comes out without any delays, and no one is disappointing, I don't s...

Personally I think you can not try to find meaning in every detail. The table cloth was red... IT SYMBOLIZES THE DEATH OF HUMANITY OMG WHAT DO!? But really, there is a point where reading between the lines goes over the top. I am not saying anyone here has gotten to that point, I'm just saying c...

^Except...he doesn't say that. He remarks that Shinji becoming a hero who fights desperately to save a girl...is probably a perception of the times. He states he can't change his essential nature, even reminding the interviewer that he hasnt changed much. So I really doubt Shinji becoming a...
