TFW you outlive the entire Evangelion universe (except for 2 ppl)

This was quite informative. Thank you
-
you forgot Toji was the 4th child

I watched the show a few times, all the ovas and other stuff, and was massively annoyed by the main characters. All of them are insane, damaged, crazy or simply unlikable. But after I read the manga, I understood the characters much better and saw them as less annoying and more... Approachable. So better read the manga first.

"Neo Tokyo 3" I thought it was just called Tokyo 3
-
"Far Future"
-

Very cool! I'll have to check it out. :) Thanks for the crash course, otherwise I wouldn't have understood the advanced plot-line.

No mention of Ritsuko, meanwhile is technically most important character in series.
A few innacuracies overall but. For someone who's never seen the show this is a pretty good explanation to get someone into it. -
Hmmm, now we're interested.

Please do gundam please :3

this anime operate on this concept : man would forever be lonely because no one can really understand one another with our AT fields on. thus SEALE wanted to put all souls into one. Love can penetrate this AT fields but not always because Love has two faces. the creative and destructive. shinji ended up the love creative. gendo is destructive-that cannot penetrate AT fields(thus rei rejected him in the end "love is never controlling"). Asuka leans toward destructive Love as the show progresses( She was able to resynch with her eva when she able to eventually love herself with the help of her mother's memory. Shinji recreated the world and put his trust on Love to ease the perpetual loneliness OVER instrumentality (Destruction of AT fields in humanity and no loneliness and full understanding over one another). Love is a strong driving force in this anime. The concept of Love is thoroughly derived from Divine comedy. Loneliness is also a driving force in the characters. gendo's willing to destroy the world just to see yui again, misato's promiscuity, asuka's self absorption, shinji's masturbation, the lifeless ocean.

2:51 End of Evangelion isn't an alternate Ending. It's just another perspective of the same ending.
Spoilers!....
Shinji starts instrumentality and ends it after he got a resolve. And in both endings it's the same resolve.
End of Evangelion just showed way more of the stuff around all that. -
fun fact:its not really hate mail

As a massive Eva fan, I'm going to be really annoying and point out the fact that you're almost completely wrong about everything an rather than fill you in myself I advise you to tune in to either Arkada of Glass Reflection of Demolition D+ (Douchebag Chocolat) The series is entirely too important a piece of work in anime to be misrepresented. That being said it's not the most important nor is it the absolute pinnacle so don't assume that that's what I'm trying to convey.
