Or Evangelion Opus (The AMV with Bohemian Rhapsody).

Fair enough--although I disagree with your take on Inarritu, as I thought the Revenant was also a great film, and far from pointless. I also disagree with your interpretation on Birdman, in that regard. I think the messages and ideas presented in that film are much more universal in nature rather t...

Thinking about it more, I wouldn't use any scene. Eva is best when you're giving little to no details (And tell them how it helped me with my depression, but that's another story).

It's been almost a year since I binge-watched the trilogy. I remember being excited when watching it (When I was still thinking about Eva 24 hours straight)...I look back on it now and see them as descent-to-mediocre ways of retelling the story of Eva. I was aware that it wasn't going to top the ori...

the cross in a thumbstone in the One More Final may suggest Misato was dead for good symbolically by Anno. I personally don't think so, tough. I've always seen that as Shinji putting up the cross to remember the real Misato; not the one that phoned in her persona to make herself likable as a surrog...

I'd like them to use the Rebuild cast. Spike Spencer is already a terrific Shinji when given proper direction. He's arguably the best dubber in the franchise (Though Allison Keith as Misato when she's serious and John Swasey in the DCs and EoE are quite great). While I love Ogata, Spencer's voice i...

^ Most people are thinking about the multitude of ideas and plot points Eva comes across, that they either miss it - most likely because a lot of plot points are either implied (It's obvious that Kaji was killed by an agent of SEELE, why else would he have been shot just as he freed Fuyutski in Epis...

Maybe, but if this does get through, we may face the outcry of when we're going to add the dislike button

Remember that Yui said that people can return to their bodies if they choose two...in this case, to learn to love and accept themselves. Waking up means not being a coward to stop all your troubles and facing the world as it is. I turn to the poster where Asuka and Shinji are looking at Rei's head i...

Got done watching End of Evangelion...and yup, this after my fourth viewing of it in this horrible year, it's still my favorite movie of all time. I can't tell you how much it helped me - such originality brought forth by scenes that make me break down in tears of all different emotions. It's a remi...

For action:

- Unit 01 breaking out of Leliel
- Units 00 and 01 fighting Ramiel

For psychological
- Misato surviving second impact
- The opening scene of episode 21

Or I can show the person these two AMVs for a taste of what's in it.

I heard Lift Yr. Skinny Fists a month ago and fell in love with it. I have yet to hear other GY!BE albums though (I have had Piss Crowns are Trebled on repeat for a while though).

Wait, Cowboy Bebop has filler episodes? How do you determine what's a "filler episode" and what isn't with that kind of narrative structure? It's less filler and more taking a break (From either the bounty plot or the character development). Most people'll probably bring up episode like T...

The Cranberries' Zombie...with the subject of the song being focused on the treatment of the angels and Rei's unknowing conflict between what she's made of, with aid from Kaworu on the path she should take.

Enhancement of seeing Unit 01 rip it's way out of Leliel? Hell. Yes.

Before. Not only is it time for an update, but it market-wise, it would be a great strategy to build up hype for it further.

I take it the tumbler the OP is citing is qmisato? Likewise, I agree with her that Shinji does have a guilty, repressed mode of interacting with women that expresses itself in public timidness and secret resentment. I've heard of her, and have yet to check it out. The Tumbler was actually ritstumay...

It's a 50/50 chance. My interpretation that he'll heal and bond further with Asuka makes up one half.

Well, I finished off the new year with the original Fullmetal Alchemist, and it's definitely worthy of most of the praise that gets thrown at Brotherhood. Now, I'm testing the waters with certain shows. Wandering Son: I've never seen transgender issues get portrayed in an anime, so I have lots of in...
