Neon Genesis Evangelion is (not) “that anime”… (not) about robots/monsters/etc… (not) an entertainment… it’s more than that—it’s a work of art… Evangelion is about human… human relationship, life… truth.
Do (not) try to understand it… feel it.
Images, sounds (and music), time… sets the moods.
How to watch (the original) Evangelion: “Angel Attack” (1) – “Take care of yourself.” (26) ➝ “He was aware that he was still a child. (New Production Cut)” (21’) – “The Beginning and the End, or ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’ (New Production Cut)” (24’) ➝ “Love is destructive.” (25’) + “I need you.” (26’) = The End of Evangelion ➝ “Do you love me?” (25) – “Take care of yourself.” (26) ➝ “Love is destructive.” (25’) + “I need you.” (26’) = The End of Evangelion.
To my father, thank you. To my mother, farewell. And to all the children… Congratulations!
At first, I thought I was disappointed by this new, lazy, digital animation style. I was expecting something ooh like Bebop. But, man… I really was wrong.
This… is Watanabe on another level. Plus… it has Nujabes. I think it would be more perfect if it’s squeezed to maybe under 20 episodes? No big deal… Champloo rules!
To be (or not to be?) rewatched…
As long as the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth exist… daijobu [everything will be alright].
The End of Evangelion is an alternate ending to the series. It doesn’t replace the original ending—it’s an alternative… another perspective.

Current playlist: “II Air” + “Thanatos -If I Can’t Be Yours-” + “Komm, süsser Tod” + “Everything you’ve ever dreamed” + “The Passage of Emptiness” + “Jesus bleibet meine Freude” + “Expansion of Blockade”…
OK as a stand-alone work. Just don’t expect it too much to be like the original FLCL.

Let me tag some… BATFOS WUZ HERE!
YOU’RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT.
…reveals that Ed’s pinwheel is taped to the ship’s upper deck, spinning slowly as the light disappears.
Personal favorite Bebop session!
SEE YOU COWGIRL,
SOMEDAY, SOMEWHERE!
Wow! Hahaha! So much in this one.
That’s how you end a first episode!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
It seems brighter without Francis.
In the end, I thought she was gonna sucked into the red room.
Oh, man… I love this one!
Interesting choices on Bebop. I need to compile mine.
Sad to see you dropped Paranoia Agent… and Champloo. How many episodes did you watch?

Recs to @waldner11, № 2 (7–12):
Is Studio Ponoc part of Studio Ghibli?
Mine is Spirited Away for Miyazaki, and Paranoia Agent (Perfect Blue for feature film) for Kon. I need to rewatch your choices. Didn’t know that Millenium Actress is based on Setsuko Hara.
What do you recommend for Anno? Beside Evangelion…
Oh, crap. I accidentally deleted the comment. Completed: Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion, One Punch Man, Dragon Ball. Watching: Samurai Champloo. Dropped: Attack on Titan, Death Note, Hunter × Hunter.
Yeah, same, man. Did you watch every episode or just the canon ones? Conan…
