Gainax had really turned me off with their final release of the movie the End of Evangelion. Sure, Death and Rebirth was enertaining, but they had to go off and kill Misato! I was hoping that no more of the characters that i'd gotten so close to would meet the fate of third impact ( which scared the heck out of me), but then they go off and nearly kill Asuka! I'm fuming!

How far into EoE have you gone? Have you made it through to the end, yet? You seem to have reached the half-way mark, at least, the end of episode 25' (Air). It's important to ask, because spoilers abound; and it sounds like you haven't yet suffered the final act.
If it looks like - if you think that - the End of the World is coming, you are right. The controversy is what comes next.

EoE was the absolute perfect conclusion to NGE. The only things that would have made it better are (1) improved continuity for the Evas, (2) no EGK!!!!, and (3) Yui-sama's armor gets popped off when she merges with the Spear, and she is thus naked for the rest of time.

This thing exists for a reason.
EGK (which we need to decide the future of)
Yui-sama
Read ... and learn.
I have a ****-ton of new ones to add, don't I? (And the Gender page needs a SEVERE makeover!)

Not really. I found myself fighting the urge not to fall asleep during it. In the middle of the day. The show should have ended after 24 with on-screen text saying "And things just sort of carried on from there."

What's up with EoE? Simply put this was how Evangelion is meant to end, but ran into budget and censorship problems. It is also argueably Anno's revenge on the fans, but even saying there are elements of his revenge (perhaps the biggest sign they got to him is the hate mail that's flashed near the end) does not fly well here. Regardless, to quote many a fan here EoE is one great big motherloving mind ****, especially if you had grown attached to the characters.

Although my first one was Bastard Manga Kaworu...>.>;
Yeah, but EGK needs a cohort in evil. They work together, you know. So, EMK, EGK. They go together like evil doppelgangers should.
But seriously. I just wrote the thing. (Mostly.) There are some Reichu-isms in there, but, hey, I'm part of this Geekdom, too. The Geektionary is a dictionary of NGE geekdom as we have come to know it. Reichu does things the best way she knows how.

...joke? :stares at Uzi and throws it over shoulder:
Well, a couple of </irony> tags here and there don't hurt none. And if my language patterns are infectious... uhhh... I can go into quarantine again, if you like... but people didn't seem to like it the last time I did, so...
I need a job.

Hey, don't diss the 'chu! Having taken on the post of volunteer cat-herder is enough.

I don't see how anyone with eyes can deny that it has some elements of "In your face, Fanboy!", but I think that only comes out in one or two scenes. The hospital scene and the "hate mail" scene are two examples that I'm certain are intended to serve a double-purpose. The "hate mail" scene is practically single-purpose, in fact.
