I've meant what Eva's world is, like, the ultimate unfair one. It is designed to put it's characters in the absolute worst scenario for their minds. To see them struggle and fail, and trying to adapt - it is fascinating to me, just like with many other good pieces of fiction. It's the same rules wh...

It made me feel better knowing I wasn't the only one like this, and if I wasn't the only one, then that means there's a chance that I too can one day come out of it like others have. So keep that in mind. You are not alone. There are others out there who are like you and have gone through the same ...

You have a problem with abandonment? Well, nobody will really show to you what they want you around, as a person. You are afraid of responsibility because you hurt someone due to your flaws before? They are gonna amp it up! You have to pilot a god. You are forced to kill your friends. Every second ...

The first time I saw the movie End of Evangelion, I felt traumatized. The first clips of the movie I had the misfortune to come across were the hospital scene and the Third Impact. I’m still new to the whole Evangelion series, so there may be things I don’t understand. But what I do know is that aft...

[ This post was originally made to an old "miscellaneous EoE questions" thread. It was not on topic there, so I've moved it here, where it is 100% on topic. -Reichu ] The first time I saw the movie End of Evangelion, I felt traumatized. The first clips of the movie I had the misfortune to ...

In the immediate aftermath of watching EoE hard on the heels of watching the series, my self-directed therapy was in the form of writing fix-fics. Taking back control and nudging things to a better outcome would help draw some of the poison, and stop it controlling you. The hard part is I don’t wan...

While reading Re-Take, I’ve also had an epiphany. I was mainly upset that the majority of Otaku’s considered End of Evangelion the true ending. I wondered if that really mattered to me considering how unfavorable I found the movie myself. I realized it didn’t. If there is anything I’ve learned from ...

However, I generally advise against Retake for various reasons that aren't that important in this context, and for one that is: There's some pretty grimdark nasty stuff in there in the first half; if you're already not in a great place mentally, the two... infamous scenes might just hit you in the ...

I’ve just started reading the fan comic known as Evangelion Re-take. In my opinion, it succeeded where End of Evangelion has originally failed. And it’s amazing, truly, as well as wholesome. It’s also a thought provoked as well. To those of you who feel affected by the movie as I do, I highly recomm...

Not so much that, as "If you make no effort to help yourself, then don't be surprised if your world goes to hell all around you." Far from decisively accepting himself as per the TV end, EoE!Shinji just drifts and tries to hide from life. That is true, and I am trying to help myself with ...

To accommodate with this mental crisis of mine, I have taken the time to do a fix fic and some poetry, but I still have a ways to go in my recovery. While I have come to accept End of Evangelion what it is, I confess that during the duration of the months, I have also become obsessed with finding an...

It’s been five months since I came across EOE. I’m still having a hard time trying to make peace with it. Every time it comes up into my mind it takes a toll on my self esteem. I have Asperger’s Syndrome, and endured mental scars like other people, and when I can relate to someone, even a fictional ...

The final entry doesn’t have to have a happy ending per se, just something that provides the audience a sense of relief and leaves several questions pondering inside their head. Ultimately, I believe the ending should be bittersweet and triumphant. My interpretation of the next movie is that the fou...

After having a nightmare a week ago that I was Shinji starting the Third Impact, I’m afraid I’m on the verge of snapping.

The first time I saw the movie End of Evangelion , I felt traumatized. The first clips of the movie I had the misfortune to come across were the hospital scene and the Third Impact.
