well im not completely sure how EoE was at first but it is fact that anno had to trash his original one and begin from scratch again. but when fans started sending angry letters he decided to make the another ending; EoE.

and yes the tax evasion issue set back the production quite a bit.

well its a little bit of everything, one of the biggest set backs from Gainax's groundbreak'dness was episode 18 "ambivalence" the episode was thought to be soo violent that the broadcasting company gave sega a choice, either cut gainax's funding or cancel the series all together and guess what happended.

Wasn't it more the lack of budget? Due to Gainax's habit of spending its budget early, the latter half of Evangelion suffered, they even paralleled scenes (the cheap bastards!), however it did go along with the deteriorating situation within the story. By the end of the series, while your reason might have also been a factor, I doubt they had the money to animate something as ambitious as the End of Evangelion anyway, even a watered-down version.

No, not really, anything religous in Evangelion didn't have any meaning of its own, its true theme was that of philosophy, and a secular one at that. Like the golden Rule, you can draw a secular-religous comparison, but the series wasn't made with the former in mind. Also, while you can like rah better, it's not actually as you say. It didn't have the same message, and barrowed far too much from Eva (including staff) for the comparison ever to be valid.

So it was released theatricly, the series ending for that reason was more or less a compilation of the problems and resolutions of Asuka, Rei, shinji and misato in my opinion at least it was very "filling" for that type of ending. RAHXEPHON actualy is a very good anime but ultimately it fails at trying to surpass NGE, it works better as a Sci Fi anime show if anything. Besides Rah wouldent be that way without eva, and like ive pointed out before many animes wouldent.

its quiet logical you are all just used to very cliche' storylines, the first half develops as more or less a satyrical imitation of mecha shows from the time, the second half develops more into the psychological/philosophical points of the anime. You are wrong about the last two episodes and end of evangelion, there was nothing wrong with the management hell End of Evangelion was the original ending, they didint air it because it was thought to be too extreeme.

what what in the butt?

thats not true at all All the concepts of Evangelion are phsycological The last 2 episodes showed the clinical process to achivie the instrumentality in each character
By: TwistedMelody87. on 07 Oct 08, 14:29:02
I have to agree with DereBoyy, it was the first of it's kind so the story telling and direction isn't as refined as modern anime. The End of Evangelion movie pretty much points that out... the last 2 episodes were random compilations of clips due to poor management. Eva isn't emo, but it isn't a feel good series either so I can understand how people may not like it. But it certainly is religious themed :) If you like this though you should watch Raxephon, which, imo, is better :D

BUENISIMO CHABON!!!

There's plenty of those, Gundam Wing certiantly isn't that deep, same with Gurren Lagan, DBZ, Bleach, you're just looking for it in the wrong genre. This is a thinking show, that was its purpose, you have the right to just enjoy it as an action show of course, but tell me, if you simply read, say, Lord of the Flies as an adventure story, and placed no thinking into its meaning, do you think you'd be getting the full picture?

Awesome Opening to my favorite anime series of all time.
By: metalraider187. on 06 Oct 08, 22:29:39
I was refering to Dereboy or whatever, for one thing it does not bother me when people enjoy the show without realy knowing it, if they get the gist of it then im happy, what pisses me off is when idiots try to downgrade the show with their shallow reasoning, all it realy is is a lack of understanding, which is plain ignorance.
By: metalraider187. on 06 Oct 08, 22:22:55
not you numbnuts, anyways and at least thats what ended up happening to shinji. trust me "sit down, shut up, and watch me" shows??" Reign supreme, what is the result of this.... people dont like using their heads thats what, what do you know of hot meadia and cool media?.
By: GalbiMashitSuh. on 06 Oct 08, 20:41:27
ive never seen this anime but it sounds oddly familiar
By: 0noser. on 06 Oct 08, 18:02:12
uuuuuuuufffff este opening es lo maximo
By: FmilyGuyFan117. on 05 Oct 08, 23:43:31
so now you're just calling me a moron because i didn't have to look too hard to find the message, and was just wondering whatever happened to the "sit down, shut up, and watch me" shows?? and that Emos thing, um, i really don't see how you could have ALL your emotional support taken away from you...If anything that should be nearly impossible or you are one screwed up person.
By: metalraider187. on 05 Oct 08, 22:56:48
I did too but then again, thats the whole take on entertainment "dont think just watch".... and we all know how much its degenerated over the years. I just dont like it when morons disregard truly brilliant works that may seem trite on the surface but turn out being more than just a show.
By: metalraider187. on 05 Oct 08, 22:53:24
its not hard to figure it out, at least the most important message. I skiped the various layers but in the end I remembered what mattered most about the series, Live on despite your hardships, because giving up is a fate worse than death.
By: metalraider187. on 05 Oct 08, 22:51:13
A the "religion" has nothing to do with anything in Eva, ceirtain names and symbols were used but they have no real meaning, B emos..... so every person who is depressed is Emo? wow you must live a fairy tale life or something, trust me you wouldent be so hot if all your emotional suports were systematicly taken away from you. and C poor story telling covered by random crap? you are one dense moron, this show is existentialism in raw form.
By: FmilyGuyFan117. on 05 Oct 08, 20:43:47
eh, i didnt have to look that deep to find out anything.....i just enjoyed it and watched.....why cant people just watch and enjoy??? whatever happened to it?? i miss it!!

By: josetato. on 05 Oct 08, 18:34:29
