I agree Hungrywolf. I understand what they were going for with the series and I thought it was neat, but a LITTLE more realistic ending would have been nice. Plus the way it ended made all the build up seem totally pointless. Instead of going out with a bang or climaxing and tapering off, the series just sort of fizzled off right when it was about to get interesting.
Eh, depends on what you're looking for in the story. For me the last two episodes were by and far the best part of the entire series. It all made perfect sence to me at the, but there are other factors that might have had a part in that too.
And yeah, as far as I understand the directors opinion on the movies was "Fine, HERE'S your damn Eva ending. Fuck you."
Oh yes it was, but concidering how badly fans of the series reacted, they should have seen it coming.
I liked both, but I'm going to say I like Xenogears better though. Eva ended kinda crappy while XG was much more uplifting.

Well, I liked the last two episodes as well. However it wasn't really that fun seeing all of the characters collapse in on themselves.

Oh yeah, I agree. Personally I think they should have left the series alone. I am interested to see how the comic book is going to end though. I have a feeling the ending is going to be a little different.

Eh.. it's not a big issue to me, because I take a lot of flak from both anime fans and RPG fans for thinking both XG and Eva to be totally silly works that take themselves way too seriously, and their fanbase for taking them as such deep, brilliant works. I think they're perhaps a little too pretentious for their own good..
Hummmmnnn.... You have earned a place in my memory.
... I still haven't finished Xenogears; but the fact that Evangelion is a 85% copy from another anime (can't recall wich) kind of drives me off from it, and unlike other Gainax series they copy it all from just one anime, not many like most of their other works.
.... Well, if you don't like what I said I respect that, but that will not make me change my mind.
Monkey told you that.
How is Eva 85% copy from another anime? And does anyone know what anime he's referring to, so I can avoid it?
