  • What is an EoE apologist?

    I think EoE is a great film, and serves its purpose in providing an alternative ending to the TV show, while communicating frustration from the team that worked on it. I consider it a masterpiece in anime film up there with the likes of AKIRA, Princess Mononoke, and Perfect Blue. I like the film equally as much as I like Thrice, but they are both different.

    I also really liked Thrice’s soundtrack, Hooked on the Last Train, Pillars of Faith, and Gravestone Without A Date (from Bye Bye Jupiter, 1984) were my favorite songs. On the other hand, EoE’s Komm Susser Todd is perfectly fitting almost as an antithesis of Thrice’s Gravestone Without A Date. I won’t lie, I was a little disappointed initially that Komm Susser Todd didn’t return, but Gravestone Without A Date does have musical references to it, which is a nice touch.

    They didn’t have to do Misato like that in Thrice’s ending though.

    I mean, they included images of vandalism on the Gainax offices and various depictions of death threats/ angry letters they receieved in the live-action part of the film, so its clear Anno and Gainax weren’t exactly happy with how the audience was treating them. Rightfully so, IMO.

    Pictured below: a simulated screenshot of an email which flashes on the screen in EoE which translates to

    Anno, I’ll kill you!!! Anno, I’ll kill you!!! Anno, I’ll kill you!!!



  • Peak cinema, actually.

    End of Evangelion is a great film, but not as someones first Evangelion film. I call it the “angry” film, whereas 3.0+1.0 is the “accepting” film. EoE felt like Anno was frustrated with Evas audience (because he was lol), and 3.0+1.0 feels like he has finally accepted the situation.
