The Great Finale to one of the MOst Creative Anime Seri

Neon Genesis Evangelion. Just hearing this title I can feel shivers down my spine. What makes this anime so great? Anno Hideaki made an incredible post apocalyptic world in which human kind can still find itself today. A use of countless allegories make this anime a must watch. The characters are what make this anime so remarkable: Shinji's, Asuka's and Rei's view of the World and their relationship with all those who surround them makes us remember why we are human and why our inhumanity actually make us more human, more alive, even though we sometimes want to die. The psychological profiles of every character is shaped to make an image hard to forget and we will be able to identify ourselves in some of the characters, or many many. The End of Evangelion brings the series to an end, and it is quite an ending to a series of such caliber! When the fans were unpleased with the famous congratulations scene on episode 26 (and overall with episode 25-26), Anno decided to give an alternative ending to the series. Nevertheless, it is not exactly an alternative ending. In many ways, this is a complement to the series final episodes. Many of the psychological characteristics analyzed in Episode 25-26 are completely portrayed in the characters in this movie. A tremendous amount of allegories give this series a closure by giving the human kind an opportunity to start again, a Neon Genesis Evangelion. The religious theme is heavily treated in this movie and science and religion converge without differentiating them. In many ways, this is a movie for everyone, but I highly suggest for everyone willing to watch it to watch first the series. Both of them show an overall view of Anno's view of the World and it's dreams that blind it's own progression and existence. Ironically, The End of Evangelion is in fact a New Beginning.Read full review
