That's actually the way I felt about it, too. It depressed the hell out of my brother, but neither of Eva's endings makes me feel bad - actually, quite the oppositeAlpha_Hazard wrote:
OK, offtopic. Anyway, Evangelion has a certain appeal to the apocalyptic personality that some find depressing, but really to me is optimistic.

The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

Indeed, The End of Evangelion, not just the ending but as a whole, is very unsettling, and depressing. And yet, it has the most uplifting messege I've ever encountered in any movie.

well okay maybe not, but they do usually have uplifting messages, but it's the same usual stuff, friendship, togetherness, aspects of your birth don't determine your future role in life, yada-yada 8)

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!
