I couldn't find any threads dedicated to this anime so i thought that i'd start one.
Anyways, has anyone here actually seen it? The series was amazing, IMHO one of the best anime series ever created. It had an extreamly deep plot (even though at first it just seems like your average mech anime). Fans in japan have gone as far as send death threats to Hideaki Anno (the director/writer) because they didn't like the ending (which is extreamly confusing and philisophical.
The movie is even more amazing. The first half was made by Anno just as payback to the fans who disliked his original ending (which he thought was perfect). And the second half served as an alternate ending.
I love this anime! I've been obssesed with this for a while now (about a year), and so have most of my friends (though i only have about 4 )
She has to fight a bunch of massed produced EVA's by herself, she kicks thier asses at first...then they regenerate and she gets a bout six or seven Lance of Longinus copies shoved in her. Then they eat Unit 2 with Asuka's mind still in synch with it.
Yea, everyones souls get left in space with only shinji and asuka are left. Some people think that asuka in the end is a fusion of rei, auska, and misato.
