Seeing as how nothing they put in 25 and 26 tv series, it new or thought provoking, why not?

I'm making money, oh well I guess I'll revisit it......but not before I put a bunch of frustration and anger in it! One will the anger fans even care that the anger is there? Are you a big loser cause you can ignore hate mail? Or do you really care cause you will still get money for it. I can make the dumbass argument that Anno did that on purpose to piss people off and give him a reason to make yet another Eva ending so that he can have more money. Is that true? Most likely no, but I'd prefer that then to some adult getting childishly upset cause they are getting hate mail. "oh no, someone didn't like what I did, I better get back in their monies...err good graces." [/rant]

Dumbass argument? Did you know that Anno put the hate letters into the film just to slap them back in the face of the senders? Many, many of the hate letters flicker by...
Anno mocked the audience that was there at the showing of EoE, according to information I have received about the showing.
There was a lot of infighting at GAINAX over this as well.
It takes a lot to expose one's inner emotion and feeling on something like a TV series... and I can easily imagine that after opening one's self up like that and then receiving a lot of hate mail, it would make one that much more susceptable to hostility and anger... having torn down defenses...
but, you probably write that off as psycho-babble. After all, if you don't get it, it's not true. It's just stuff others make up to feel like they'rte clever, isn't that right?
Anno wasn't exploring deep questions, he was apparently just after cash as you seem to argue.
Lastly, while I would lvoe to argue your points up and down, I did want to say that the crowd of people cheering for Shinji is NOT why one feels good at the end of the TV series. It's the important message that is discovered and the understanding of it, which makes one feel good. The cheering scene was a nice touch, but had little to do with why the end of the show was optimistic. It simply was empowering and offered hope... as opposed to being a "happy ending".
