I seem to have the precise opposite problem. EoTV had led me to believe that Asuka would survive whatever ordeal she went through in EoE. Watching that fight I kept thinking that somehow, someway, she's gonna get through it.

Then her arm got sliced in half and she turned into a Longinus pincushion.

...

I don't think a fictional death ever affected me like that. Had to rewatch the scene like 50 times the next day just to come to terms with it. And then I kept watching it. Again and again, until it became an addiction.

I'm pretty sure this is the first time I read about Stockholm Syndrome re: anime scene.

My original viewing of EoE was on a crappy TV with a crappy low-res version of the film. Complete with film grains and all that. I did not realize that the split-arm happened until someone mentioned it to me and I rewatched the movie looking for that scene with a much better version of the film.

and I was like :bigeyes: *WHADAFAAAAAAAAAAAA*

That split-arm thing totally made that scene a whole lot worse than just the pincushioning. I still have chills imagining that microsecond.

Yeah. The kitchen scene isn't as gruesome, but it had a much bigger impact on me. The beach scene was a pretty serious kick in the nuts, too. And the hospital scene . . . :cringe:

I so getting ripped apart and eaten by cannibals is just a flesh wound or taking a spear to the hands, or being shot, or falling apart are all just flesh wounds

Ok so time for some spoilers :
SPOILER: Show
She's resurrected in the end of the movie.

Keep that in mind and it'll be easier to look through that scene.

Kinda. Makes the whole process more-or-less trivial in the end, so it does add an awful lot of context to the scene.

Is this after Asuka vs MPE or after Instrumentality?
