Well, this is the real 25/26 episodes. The co-author really didn't have enough budget to make up two episodes.
The reason for not writing a short review: EVA brings a lot of ups and downs in people's mood, and I always want to say a few more words to release the inner depression.
A more depressing existence than the original two episodes.
The TV version of the stream of consciousness is actually more difficult to fully understand for half the time, and with the repeated scenes, the depressive effect is acceptable.
But the real ending...it's so depressing, so sad.
Shinji was completely "autistic" until seeing Asuka's tragic state and the collapse of the giant Ayanami Rei. Asuka went from collapse to rebellion to being dismembered and nibbled up, bringing both physical and psychological discomfort to people. From the defeat of the second machine by the force angel to the ending, the three protagonists, including some important supporting roles, are in a state of extreme pain, and the audience will of course be brought into it and suffer together.
The stream of consciousness narration in which Shinji decides whether to complete the human race pushed the depressive atmosphere to the apex. As an audience, I truly felt the confusion, helplessness, and pain that he had experienced. For a moment, I also felt a huge sense of loneliness.
Although the ending was relatively good, Shinji gave up the completion, but the final scene still conveyed a depressing atmosphere. Only Asuka and Shinji remained in real life, but just in Shinji's consciousness, he strangled her to death with his own hands. The last sentence of Asuka: "You are disgusting" makes the EVA series end in depression, sadness and suspense.
A Japanese cartoon, a cartoon that I thought was a sci-fi theme, but in the end it brought me a shock and endless aftertaste.
EVA is a masterpiece.
