WARNING: Many use of lights during 15:47-15:50 First of all, as I mention in the description, I want to thank u/Vanquisher1000 for providing me a link to Toshio Okada’s interview “Return Of The Otaking”. It gave me great insight when making this video to better understand Anno’s creative process during the making of the show. This all started two years ago when I watched the entire series of Neon Genesis Evangelion (the version that includes the Directors Cut versions of episodes 21-24) and The End Of Evangelion. As I mention in the video, I watched it all in one week and I was amazed by what I had seen. So I'm glad that I am able to finally express my thoughts about the show and why I think its original ending is a masterpiece. If you enjoyed the video, please hit that like button :) If you want more videos like this, please subscribe :D I have also recently started a Patreon. I love making these essays, I truly do, and thus any support given will contribute directly towards this channel.

First, I apologize for walltexting below here xD But I really appreciated your video, it's good brain food :) Only a thing, I'd like to point out: a lot of people don't like or don't prefer the tv show's ending, and I respect the opinion (as much as I hated EoE initially, I now respect it and appreciate at least its artistic value. Also Rebuild makes it look way better in comparison :3) but I think there is a part of this finale's detractors that miss a big point: the fact that it doesn't follow the initially written idea, and EoE is way more similar of said idea. The plan change per se ISN'T necessarily a bad thing, in media history a lot of good happened because external/internal factors made plans change (like having the Alien design handled by Giger, or Tolkien being convinced by his editor to release The Hobbit even if he wasn't sure about it). Similarly, as much as every creative would love to have the perfect resources, and I understand them, many times their lack stimulates him/her to find new, economic but also different expressive ways to convey a concept. I find really admirable the way this in Eva led to those amazing, abstract and imaginative directing solutions Anno concocted. If we had just EoE, there wouldn't have been those and the anime world would be a bit more poor in terms of artistic value. Also, I'm totally sure that some of the so-called "moments made to hide the budget issues" in the show are bonkers. The 1 minute and more Eva still infamous shot is clearly made so that it could fit all of "that" specific part of the 9th Symphony. Other parts probably are, as I said, cases of "ehi, we have limited resources... wait let's turn them into artful stuff!" xD Also em... I'm a bit biased too, Evangelion on tv and its finale is one of my most fond memories of years and years ago, and also all the speculation about every subtle detail with friends and my bro xD It helps that in my country the dubbing (the old one, the new netflix one sucks) it received may be one of the greatest dubbing ever :P

Seeing Shinji suffering is like seeing myself suffer, because at one point in time I was almost exactly like him, especially back in 10th grade when I was bullied to the brink of suicide. I simply cannot tolerate watching Eva. I felt forced to relive my trauma upon viewing it. I’m deathly afraid of it. Twice I had a nightmare where I saw myself as Shinji choking Asuka and starting the Third Impact. I’ve been struggling with this newfound depression ever since. This series is nothing but a bright shining lie. There is no instant cure for depression as so many on KZitem and Reddit claimed and praised this series to be. I was obsessed with the series for over a year to try and outwit the Coronavirus pandemic. It only increased the burden, and kept the memory of my friend’s recent suicide alive. Sometimes I hate myself because I fail to appreciate this series which people treat larger than life, because of how much pain it resurfaces. Watching the End of Evangelion was like peering into a broken mirror, and I was viewing the hell I would’ve put myself through had things turned out differently, had I decided to give up living. It still haunts me to this day.

The original ending of Evangelion possibly saved my life. Not by itself, but it certainly had an impact (hur hur). I was browsing TV late at night when I happened to catch these last two episodes by some weird one in a million chance - the channel wasn't known for broadcasting anime normally. I was 14 and had been bullied all my life at that point, and you can probably guess I was swimming in some pretty deep and dark waters mentally at that time. So, maybe it is not surprising that something about watching Shinji's internal struggle just resonated immensely in me. My life didn't suddenly get any better, of course, but a lot of things just mentally clicked together, and I understood a whole lot more about myself, than I had before. That, along with a couple other things probably prevented me from killing myself.

What got to me in the end was that his big revelation wasn't "I'm a good person" or "I've achieved amazing things" or anything else grandeous, just "I deserve to be alive". That feels so impactful to me, and it really speaks to how anno must have understood what those feelings feel like. Because sometimes all you need and can do is convince yourself that it's Okay to be alive

I see the anime ending as a way of Anno to look into something heartwarming and gentle for him to scape the depression, but it was renegaded and ppl hated. Bc of the bad reception of the ending he made EOE out of the hate he recieved. In the movie you'll notice a difrent shinji. Shinji throught the anime was really passive and incapable of doing harm, but in the movie you'll see him doing harm, specifically to women (that's bc throught out all of death threats Anno recieved regarding the anime ending. He received also thank you letters from ppl that liked the anime, and most of them were women. that's why shinji harms women). The message is no longer of hope and acceptance, is a morbid and sad ending. In the end while Shinji strangulates Asuka, she takes her hand to his face gently, that's how the public recived the anime ending. At the very end Asuka says what probably is Annos feelings towards the public fetish: "disgusting"

I find the whole idea that these last episodes were poorly received and that Anno got all these death threats pretty hilarious. Episode 26 of the TV show won an award for the best episode of that year (along with episode 24) voted by fans. And Anno got more letters of encouragement (you can see the letters in EOE) that said the last episode helped them come to terms with themselves. Alot of people at the time really like those episodes without the robot fights or not. I think it was western fans that had more of a problem with the last 2 episodes

I'd say that as much as there are a lot of detractors of the tv show's ending, there has been since the beginning a lot of people who (immediately or not) liked it. The matter is, I think, that this whole thing lasted over 20 years so far, and in this timespan, the general opinion fluctuated a lot. Not counting the fact that many times the negative feedback is louder than the positive one, so the second ends being overshadowed :)

@@antabaka2465 It's plausible, but I personally am not very convinced about the last point, as controversy or not, Anno's life in the years after Eva reached a better level of internal and external balance, he got married etc. Ehi, this of course doesn't rule out your speculation, let's be clear! I think behind Rebuild may be that thought, but also the idea of trying alternative courses for the series that weren't feasible with the resources back in the old days, and to renew Eva for a new century and a new audience. And as much as I understand those feelings, I think the concept... is wrong. It's very arbitrary for me to say, but some things shouldn't get adapted for a new era, or at least it's always risky to do so (on another hand, it's not even that terrible. I mean, the Rebuild are bad? well it's not like original Eva disappeared, one can just watch that instead :P) Ah and it seems there is also a economic reason behind Eva Rebuild, or at least two: one tied to finding funds to make new stuff, the other to that shady story of Anno being robbed by Studio Gainax for more than 10 years xD (and risking to lose Eva's rights for merchandise etc) About the first part of your comment (wait why didn't I made this in chronological orde... well whatever) I believe it too, but of course a creative's view of his own work changes with the flow of years and his own changing. That's why, despite all it's been said in interviews in these decades, I choose to - arbitrarily, I wanna be honest, I'm not a mind reader :P - believe more the first statement Anno and other GAINAX people made back in the days, I.E. that as much as it was filled with issues, they were proud of the tv ending

As someone who has been to therapy for my anxiety and complex depression for 5 years, the ending of the show is literally that. A therapy session you‘d get for depression. And it is just so obvious too how it reflects so much self reflective thinking and inner work done by the creator. This is a tale about how awefully terrible life feels when depressed and how we only can effectively get better if we wanna get better ourselves. Shinji speaks to me so much on a personal level. Even if I‘m not a guy myself, I can still relate to him more than to any other female character I saw in anime prior. It‘s because eva goes beyond the first layer. You can see clearly how every character has been a self insert of the author (in a good way) and that makes them so incredibly human. That‘s why I love Eva. Because it‘s what I needed. And it‘s sincere and personal. It doesn‘t condecend or act like depression can be fixed by just „being happy“ or taking pills. It‘s so respectful and from the heart and I really do love it so much for that. I wish I could write Anno a letter as well to thank him if I could write Japanese because it is so rare to see someone do such genuine and personal art in order to help those who are still deep in dispair or at the beginning of crawling out of that pit. I‘d also like to add that I always interpreted the world of Eva as the warped world you are trapped in when depressed. To me the eva represents work, school or stuff you must do to survive. So shinji trying to quit always symbolized suicide to me. And how he wanted to keep trying even though he was miserable. Every time he gets into the eva he suffers. And when you‘re depressed, doing anything is suffering because nothing is fun. And the world being so hopeless and apocalyptic also to me seems to represent how when depressed it feels like there‘s doom incoming and that the world will end. Remember the scene when shinji broke out of the mindspace and stood on top of the earth being praised for making it out? To me that always resembled the breakthrough of finally defeating depression and the hell experienced in the eva world. He breaks free of the warped depression world and reenters the real world having finally managed to defeat his illness or at least having started to defeat it. It‘s so empowering to see because for many this is symbolically speaking just incredibly accurate to real life and how everyone with mental health issues hopefully can reach this breakthrough in therapy or maybe even without it if possible. It‘s just empowering af!

This video is probably one of the better analysis on the topic, and I appreciate you for making it.

Yui explicitly states that all living things have the will to return, but suggests they may need to undergo the same internal dilemmas that Shinji faced while in Human Instrumentality. The only difference with EoE is that once the smoke clears and the applause ('Congratulations!') is over, he has to live with the consequences of what he's done. Yes, he has rejected Human Instrumentality. Yes, he has learned the importance of bonding with others. Yes, all living things may also learn to return to their physical forms - but his actions still have consequences. It's not the 'Bad Ending/Nightmare Ending' like people make it seem, it's just a very brutal yet hopeful finale. Acceptance of total desolation and destruction, and the hope and willpower to rebuild and move on.

I first tried watch evangelion at university and abandoned it about half way through. The following year I fell into a deep spiral of depression that lasted almost a decade. After years of struggling, I finally managed to crawl out of it and stabilise, but I still suffered from a strong feeling of self loathing. At the height of the pandemic in 2021, evangelion was released on Netflix. I decided to take a second shot at it, and the ending actually made me learn how to accept myself. I knew I wasn't where I wanted to be as a person yet, but evangelion made me realise that that was OK, so long as I was willing to go through the difficult process of facing the aspects of myself I didn't like and move past them and to accept those facts about myself that I couldn't change. I've never been so happy to be proven wrong about a piece of media I once dismissed. I owe a lot to evangelion, as lame and cringey as that sounds

Least thats how I interpreted it that yes they were not perfect but they were set on the path to change and that they needed each other too.

i loved the anime ending so much i didn’t even want to watch the movie. for me it really showed that fundamental problem of “hell is other people” which SEELE thinks the solution for is instrumentality - getting rid of the trauma of relationships that all the characters had (what we see in their flashbacks and throughout the main story), to merge together and finally accept and understand eachother without the complexities of interacting as individuals. but then of course the realisation that there isn’t really an individual without the other, the loss of freedom in being individuals is beautiful but we forget that, and SEELE forgot that, like you said the Japanese show the the grey area in their movies. I think that is why everyone connects with evangelion so well, because of the nuance of its philosophy. I feel that a lot of people look down on people who prefer the anime ending because it’s a “happy” incomplete ending, but i don’t think it’s that at all, it’s the true conclusion to all the angst and trauma of the show - and even though the edginess and angst is part of what makes evangelion great, it was perfect for the show to say, hey, it’s all ok. Because you can’t have the beauty of life and relationships without the ugliness and trauma.

I also feel the movie depicted this and added to the original ending. I think them leaving the interstice and choosing reality was a powerful way of saying what you said in your post. That yes there is this "perfect" world where nobody is mean and everyone you know is the "perfect" version you want of them. but in reality its not real. You know in your heart that they are not perfect because its not the REAL them. So even though he knew he would face all that pain again in the real world he would rather suck it up and face it to have a REAL relationship with people than the fakenes of the interstice world. Asuka clearly chose the same thing and thats what makes the ending of that show bittersweet to me how its basically just them 2 left (that we know of) so we don't know how many of the others chose reality. And when Asuka caresses Shinji and he cries realising its the real her and shes being nice to him (even if she called him an idiot or whatever it was but thats just her aggresive personality haha and he did just try to kill her) it was heart warming because, though its far from a perfect scenario, it was that tiny bit of kindness and understanding that came from the REAL Asuka that makes you realise the choice was worth it and that they CAN change.

The ending basically tells us that our reality is based on how we perceive it and how we see it if we see negative our reality is negative if we see it as positive it is positive it all depends on our vision and our perception of reality and also the eyes by which we see them as explained in the alternate ending seen where everyone was happy because they simply saw others and most importantly THEMSELVES differently and positevely, We can always see ourself and others differently and more positively and this positive attitude makes our life heaven this is more powerful than a SUPERPOWER and i honestly loved this ending❤

Congratulations! You nailed it buddy...I put off watching Evangelion for 2 decades because I ignorantly thought it was "Another Gundam"...Jeez, I was so wrong....After watching the original Series I was blown away by how fresh, Interesting and how ballsy of a move it was how the last 2 episodes played out. I had totally been expecting a knock down drag out fight or some such, and yes I was initially bewildered...but after a week or so, It just clicked I guess and I thought it was very profound....Then I watched End of Evangelion and was blown away again. I have tried to watch the new series, but the original is so good, it's hard for me to accept all of the changes.....

Episodes 22, 25, and 26 just absolutely floored me. I've never seen my own mental health struggles portrayed so accurately and beautifully before. Asuka's mental breakdown in episode 22 is to date the most accurate depiction of a mental breakdown I've seen in media. 25 and 26 were basically me just watching my own mental health journey in art form. I have never resonated with a show more than this one. The movie was good too but it just didn't do it for me anywhere near what the original ending did. It was a cool reinterpreting of the original ending tho.

This show, its ending and Shinji's fate taught me a valuable lesson on how I should perceive myself and this world. Loving yourself instead of "running away" and self-loathing, what it actually means, to some extent even dealing with others, this kind of thing. Shinji's example also encouraged me not to let myself ultimatey falter in front of any hardships that might come in life. Because how I interprered the message of how you can feel happy even on rainy days, is that ultimately it's up to us to shape ourselves and our lives - we need to face our problems. Thank you for this video. It helped me understand this ending even better and I'm now genuinely interested in Japanese films due to how the problem of finding one's identity is exposed there. Sorry if it sounds like I'm way too high up in the skies, English isn't my first language and I'm being heavily influenced by Anno's work.

for me both endings are complementary. The TV finale is what happens in the minds of Shinji and the other characters and a deeper look at the instrumentalization. Whereas End of Evangelion is the physical drama. Many things in the last two episodes suggest that the same thing that happens in the movie is happening. It is explained why Rei 3 decided to betray gendo for shiji even though she still didn't know him very well (this is never explained in the movie), we see Asuka in her eva at the bottom of the lake, we see ritsuko and misato died from a gunshot wound, shinji in both endings see misato have sex etc, etc. and also at the end of episode 25 all the characters affirm to Shiji that the instrumentalization started because of guilt him (shinji did that in te movie) Also, if we think about it, since we saw in Chapter 25 that instrumentalization began, we already know that the world ended and everyone died. In both endings Shinji decides to reject the instrumentalization and gives humanity a second chance. If we take into account that the world suffered an apocalypse although shinji found his self-love when the protagonist returns to the real world he will find that last scene of the film.

I just watched all of evangelion and EoE for the first time. I was really disappointed with the end of the show because while I love me some character development, I really would prefer it would be done through the plot and not just in Shinji's own head. Imagine if we just go into Darth Vader's head in an abstract world at the end of Star Wars or something instead of him killing the Emperor. I had absolutely no idea what Human Instrumentality was and wanted to know what happened to everyone else. Although, after watching EoE, I can appreciate it more because I understand where it fits in with the plot.

I watched the series a couple of weeks ago, and I love the ending. Finally seeing Shinji happy and being accepted by those around him is literally the point of the Human Instrumentality Project- ultimate love and understanding of humanity. From both a story and psychological standpoint, it’s a very satisfying ending. IMO, EOE only exists as an action-packed, American cinema-style ending.

I 100% believe that the original is much better. To me, Shinji being completely alone, but eventually realizing how much he needs people really got to me on a deep level. I used to be a self-isolating person who was terrified of being hurt emotionally by others. But the craziest part was that I didn’t even realize what was going on. It was completely subconscious until Eva. The whole idea of the hedgehogs dilemma, the psychological themes of the show, and the philosophy. All of it culminates in the ending of the show, where the themes are represented incredibly well, and Shinji finally accepting that he needs other people and that trying to foster mutual understanding is worth the risk of pain. If it weren’t for the way Evangelion ended originally, I don’t know if it would’ve had the same lasting impact on me that it did.

Quite a good take I must say. But my simple question is, why not both? Charakter in the Center but also a resolution for the plot? Anno even gives us an answer, since he eventually did give us both. That's why I see the original ending as the important prelude to the solution in End of Evangelion. The true masterpiece is the work as a whole, since the conclusion in Anno's own character ark only really shows itself in concluding his story, beating his own demons like Shinji did in the original ending.

Recently found two "Evangelion" fanfics I find to be fun reads, in case someone needs to recover from depression, but refuses to go to the rebuilds: 1 (Altered Destinies)- On this one, a "Misato x Shinji" shipper writes a story in which Shinji's mom, using EVA, makes Misato 14 again. Yes, I understand how this sounds, but the author is actually pretty loyal to the source material, and whatever changes there are, they feel pretty natural. Although I do have to admit I probably wanted something else for the ending, it's nothing too bad; 2 (Advice and trust)- This one is for Asuka x Shinji shippers. Shinji reciprocates Asuka's kiss and puts his hands behind her neck, both realizing how much they enjoyed that. They decide to start a secret relationship afterwards, but I still haven't seen the actual story changes, though the comments are flatttering about the fanfic.

Murky plotlines and increasingly contrived conspiracies or cool ass robots were never going to be the point. You get hints from Episode 1 that Eva’s just “off” in some way, and eventually this trippy, bizarre aesthetic begins to show itself more and more as the series progresses until the floor falls out from under everything and there’s no sense of traditional story anymore, just a case study on the characters.

It is not interesting to watch an existentialist jerkoff for two episodes that plays like a pure stream of consciousness. If you relate to the emotions and state of mind being portrayed, then great for you. If, like me, you have never had depression or anxiety, you see a show of no real value with bad pacing and a nonsense ending. How is everyone saying “congratulations” to Shinji satisfying anyway? Bojack Horseman is a show that deals with similar themes of anxiety and depression and dives into experimental animation, and it’s one of my favorite shows, because it’s actually good.

I don't think of the controversial "Animation problem" was a matter of the producers' work or constraints, but a deliberate abstraction. Shinji's thoughts of his self retaking a physical form. The whole sum of the final episodes are taking place during the Instrumentality, so it makes sense that this is how Shinji rejects it and reclaims his individuality and they use the metaphysical and metaphorical animation process as a means of doing so.

You're close, but have it backwards. Episodes 25 and 26 of the show take place AFTER Third Impact has happened. Think of it this way: Episode 24 finishes. Cue the first ~40 minutes of End of Evangelion. Then, in End of Evangelion, Third Impact happens - THIS is where Episodes 25 and 26 occur. Shinji learning to love himself is actually his rejection of Human Instrumentality, when he decides to undo it as a result of the strenuous psychoanalysis that has happened. He has learned to go on living, he has learned to keep fighting for his happiness, he has learned that his value is in his own hands, and THAT is why he's being congratulated by everyone. The "Congratulations!" scene in NGE and him emerging from the ocean of LCL as Lilith-Rei falls apart in EOE are the exact same scenes, just told differently.
