I had massive goose pimple outbreak after watching the last 2 episodes for Neon Genesis Evangelion.
During the last scene, when everyone congratulates Shinji, I was like… SHIT! so the world really “ended” and everyone merged into one. My take is, everyone is “helping” Shinji out of the “darkness” in his heart, like how they explained it in the earlier episodes. The darkness in everyone’s heart will never cease to exist if there are still humans around. So, I guessed everyone did die in the end, (for the TV Series) but they got their freedom and release from their darkness.
The very last part felt like a group counseling session where ex-patients participate. When everyone goes “Omedetou Shinji(kun)!”, and especially when congratulated by Gendou (his father)… i had another goose pimple outbreak!
the whole feeling was very surrealistic; and the alternate universe of shinji, asuka, rei and shinji’s classmate attending high school like normal kids was just plain depressing. Note that Gendou did not participate much in this “life”.
After watching one of the greatest series of anime history, I had many new ideas and thoughts. I also realized that I do not like myself all the time. There are moments in life that I hate myself but there are also times when I realize the need to love myself.
I also believe that there is a “me-existence” in everyone I’ve came across in my life. There is a “me” in myself – the way I perceive myself is the other me. The way my mom perceive me (I must be an angel to her since the day I was born, hehe~) is another me; but it’s in my mom. The way Eric perceive me is the me in Eric and I have another me in my Daddy, my younger sisters, and other family members. Read the rest of this entry »
