Yeah, I see what you're saying... the thing about EoE/EoTV's messege that makes it so uplifting is that it's optimistic despite the circumstances your in. Whenever anyone watches EoE they always come to me and say "Oh man, that's so depressing, most depressing thing ever." and then I show them the qoute that goes something like "Anywhere on Earth can be Heaven if you make it that way" or something. ;) So uplifting!

That, and it also shows that in the end, the ultimate enemy of humanity is humanity itself.

You know, all that "anywhere can be heaven" crap doesn't really help me feel better about the extinction of 99.9999% of the human race...
Ask me about my secret stash of videos that can't be found anywhere anymore.

Get over it, life continues. If all you care about is everybody, you won't get anywhere.

Besides, everybody knows that people can come back, it's sound outright. Were you joking?

Watch the last 2 episodes of the TV series and then the movie all back to back. It made sense to me. Parts of the movie and parts of the episodes match up perfectly. yea..........it worked for me anyway.

:sidenote: when ur watching the movie put on the audio commentary, it is funny as hell.
what is your hand for?
give up.....?
ask Shinji.....

Very good site and VERY informative as well. I never there was a Red Cross Book made specifically for those trying to understand Evangelion until this point.

good site, but it's basically a well educated OPINION

he says that the two endings are different and actually opposites, but there are many including myself that believe the two endings come to the same conclusion, shinji accepting the real world of seperate individuals and accepting that there will be pain among the happiness

TV ending - glass shatters/complementation shatters, leaving shinji his congratulations by ppl he knew who in his mind congratulated him for accepting himself, not the empty togetherness that is complementation
EoE - Eva Unit 01 (shinji inside) rips out of Uber-Rei's 3rd eye/leaves complementation, destroying uber-rei and allowing the rest of the souls a way out of complementation
