This has probably been posted somewhere before, sorry if it has.

The following scenes get me every single time I rewatch eva:

- Unit 03 gets thrashed by Unit 01. (18)
- An aware Unit 01 howls upon ingesting the S^2 engine. (19)
- Misato breaks down upon hearing Kaji's message. (21)
- Asuka says "I've still got 12,000 plates of fortified armor! And I've got my AT field!" (25')
- Asuka performs her "I'll kill you" mantra before being speared by the remaining MPs. (25')
- Shinji talks with Yui in Instrumentality before bursting out of GNR's eye in Unit 01. (26')

Every time. They just give me shivers. The one inspiring the most potent feelings is easily the one with Misato. I'm not sure why.

Anyone else?

Rei's line "I am not your doll"

and Asuka's mind rape scene...where the doll and little girl Asuka are like "Liar"

The "Kill you all" thing and "I don't wanna die" things are pretty intesnse...

nd my favorite...is in ep 26 with Shinji's "My life is worth existing"...that always gives me that funny warm feeling inside

I'd say the duel with the 10th Angel. Three Eva Units allocated to where Misato's instuition wanted. That's one of the best fights I'd say.

This'll probably create a lot of crossover with this thread, but technically not the same thing.

- When Shinji staggers backwards into the Eva lift in horror as Misato smiles him on, then the doors slam shut and he ends up breaking down crying as the lift ascends.

-The entire End of Instrumentality sequence with that beautiful piece of music, especially Rei's ghostly image staring at Eva-01.

Those two are especially shivery moments.

-When EVA-01 rips apart EVA-03
-Asuka's mind-rape
-Asuka being eaten alive by the MP Evas
-Misato's last speech to Shinji before she dies
-Asuka repeating 'I don't want to die' X number of times (my favorite)
-The whole Instrumentality process
In my case, I refuse to go easy on the ignorant, regardless of degree. Hitler was ignorant. Joshua C. Whatshisface is ignorant. To me, they're in the same category of ignorant and stupid people who should have been left in some isolated corner of the world where they couldn't bother anyone. --The Eva Monkey

Most of mine have already been said, but in episode 26:

Shinji: Is it ok for me to bee here?

*Silence*

Shinji: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

A few scenes definitely but one which springs to mind a lot is the one with Misato crying asking for her Shinji back, after he was absorbed in that 400% incident.
Poor gal.

Like said before, Shogouki bursting out of GNR's eye. That scene, along with the music, sent shivers down my spine. I was like 'this is the greatest moment in EVA history!'

What that a sarcastic "hahaha"? You seriously warped my brain; now I can't watch Yui burst out of GNR's eye without hearing the Kool-Aid Man.

Hm...

-Kaji's last call to Misato, and her reaction.

-Auska's encounter with the fifteenth Angel.

-Rei's self-dustruction in 23'.

-Rei's rejection of Gendo in EoE.

-The really big explosion and GNR pulling out of the Earth's surface in EoE (ultimate "we're screwed now" moments for me).

Many moments. I'm jaded as hell, but Evangelion is seriously powerful.
