Who was lost here?
July 18, 2019 @ 2:41 pm
Still… Con…fused… as…
July 18, 2019 @ 2:41 pm
As if IGN knows that I just finish watching Neon genesis evangelion
July 18, 2019 @ 2:42 pm
Godzilla vs Evangelion who would win?
July 18, 2019 @ 2:42 pm
The pronunciation of Seele is hilarious. Someone hasn’t watched the series.
And this is more of a Wikipedia synopsis of The End of Evangelion and the last two episodes rather than an in-depth explanation of what the ending it and what it means. Describing what happens at the end doesn’t really explain what truly happens at the end on a deeper level.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: You can (not) explain
July 18, 2019 @ 2:43 pm
They need to bring Serial Experiments Lain to Netflix. If this confuses you, oh boy you have no idea..! Lol
July 18, 2019 @ 2:46 pm
I rewatched for the 4th time when it released on Netflix and everytime I do I get a little bit more out of it but its on my mind for weeks after
July 18, 2019 @ 2:47 pm
Im still confused. This anime turned out to be way different than I thought it would. I thought it was just big robots fighting big aliens. Nope, no sir, it turned into some crazy psychological stuff and now I dont know what this show is about. Still cool though.
July 18, 2019 @ 2:48 pm
So the TV version have him finally accept his mistake and does a do over and the movie ending has him give in to his dark side?
July 18, 2019 @ 2:50 pm
I stopped watching after she said "seelay" at the 51 second mark.
does she have anything constructive to say about the ending?
July 18, 2019 @ 2:52 pm
Wait what ? Spoiler alert ? Lololol so funny. This can be spoiler if we already watch it a decade ago
July 18, 2019 @ 2:52 pm
“NGE ending explained”
*only 9 minutes long*
Hahahahahahahahahaha
July 18, 2019 @ 2:54 pm
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Congratulations.
July 18, 2019 @ 2:57 pm
And ign once again, not knowing what they are talking about ???
July 18, 2019 @ 2:58 pm
Guys so the angels are actually a being thats comprised out of a race of humanity?
July 18, 2019 @ 2:59 pm
Better ending than GOT.
July 18, 2019 @ 3:00 pm
cool post IGN, thanks for sharing
July 18, 2019 @ 3:00 pm
IGN forgot that LCL ist just Fanta oh man
July 18, 2019 @ 3:02 pm
They prob didnt even watch it and just watched every one elses explanations
July 18, 2019 @ 3:03 pm
And now looking for the third ending next year
July 18, 2019 @ 3:04 pm
I get that there’s a lot of depth but dammit I hate shinji character types
July 18, 2019 @ 3:05 pm
Just read the NGE wiki. The people who write for that wiki did a great job explaining everything. As other people have pointed out in the comments, IGN got some stuff wrong, so they should just take down this video instead of trying to make a quick buck off of NGE’s influx in popularity.
July 18, 2019 @ 3:06 pm
I quit when she said that angels and humans are both descendants of Lilith lol.
July 18, 2019 @ 3:06 pm
so who survived at the end lol?
July 18, 2019 @ 3:06 pm
Is nothing sacred anymore? Why do we need these explanation videos? Similar to Twin Peaks: The Return, can we not just take our own interpretation of something?
July 18, 2019 @ 3:09 pm
You people should watch Brain Powered anime. Same concept different approach. It’s just underrated just because the original staff didn’t have much money for marketing.
July 18, 2019 @ 3:10 pm
Pretty sure this is just one of a hundred other interpretations…
Well, that’s art…
July 18, 2019 @ 3:10 pm
Its not the best but this is fairly vague. Eva is really something else so a 9min video isnt an explanation. What really bothers me is that Unite1 actually ate Gendo from the waist up not just his head, the movie shows that in the sceen right after
July 18, 2019 @ 3:11 pm
This title is such misleading.
July 18, 2019 @ 3:11 pm
I don’t think Lilith appears to Shinji as Kaworu.
That is actual Kaworu (Adam).
July 18, 2019 @ 3:12 pm
Theres so much incorrect about this video, check out evamonkeys explanation instead
July 18, 2019 @ 3:13 pm
bothered that the videos about the anime don’t say anything about the manga
July 18, 2019 @ 3:14 pm
the story was abstract. i could not understand.
July 18, 2019 @ 3:15 pm
There are not two endings, the tv ending is part of the movie ending.
July 18, 2019 @ 3:16 pm
LCL is actually Liliths blood.
July 18, 2019 @ 3:18 pm
End of Evangelion. Gave me Thanos snap flashbacks.
What a coincidence that Eva unit 1 and Thanos are purple…???
July 18, 2019 @ 3:19 pm
TL;DW:-
Anno was coming down from heroin/LSD/meth/dmt/shroomz/etc, he was also depressed as hell.
Same then as it is now.
/thread
July 18, 2019 @ 3:19 pm
I agree w/ your take on the endings and Anno’s motivation to change End of Evangelion. Eps 25 and 26 were messages of hope, that shut-ins and broken hearts can get better. When the loudest fans rejected it, he changed the story of End of Evangelion as a cautionary tale, a message to those fans because he realized they preferred the fantasy elements over the character development: ignoring your relationships (and the hard work involved in maintaining them) will only lead to your own sorrow, anger, and self-destruction. He gave them a path to their own self-actualization and they threw it on the ground screaming out for more giant robots (and fanservice).
And if anyone was confused, all they had to do was read the actual death threats they cut into the film.
July 18, 2019 @ 3:24 pm
Humans were born from Lilith and "we" are also a type of angel (Lilim). the rest of the angels were born from Adam.
July 18, 2019 @ 3:25 pm
Now go watch flcl
July 18, 2019 @ 3:26 pm
So this is just a repeat of the FOLDING IDEAS hypothesis on the End of Evangelion… I love that video, but I really think it missed some things. I believe that the two endings are not mutually exclusive. The series ending portrays Shinji coming to the realization that he wants to exist… This is at the end of the instrumentality mindfork… In the movie, Shinji has the same realization. He wishes for a world where other people can exist separately, even though it might be painful. When him and Asuka return to physical form, the first thing he does is strangle her, because that was what was happening inside the Mindfork. He’s testing reality, to make sure they are real. At first Asuka is limp, like she was before, but then she teaches up and touched Shinji’s face… He begins to cry, because he finally knows they are back, and a confused Asuka ( in her trademark antagonism ), says "How Disgusting" . I understand that some people see this as a separate ending, but it doesn’t need to be, especially since things are so trippy in the instrumentality mindfork, that I assume there would be many conflicting emotions going on at once.
July 18, 2019 @ 3:26 pm
Shinji feels no mysoginistic disgust. ?
He is scared of people and their thoughts, it’s quite different.
July 18, 2019 @ 3:26 pm
The original TV ending was way too abstract. People didnt revolt against the hopefulness,they revolted on how didnt make sense to the fans. Who were mostly children
July 18, 2019 @ 3:31 pm
Manga ending is my favorite one… and still different than the movie and series. So there is three endings… maybe four if you’re counting Rebirth one xD
July 18, 2019 @ 3:32 pm
You get wrong all the meanning of the series ending, those are not two separated endings it’s just that the images we see on the series happen right before the instrumentalization beggins merging all the human minds into one inside the LCL, and everyone are focusing on Shinji. For some reason Shinji have to take the decision about the future of the humanity and descide if it stays merged or not into the LCL, and for that purpose they need to make Shinji to accept himself.
July 18, 2019 @ 3:32 pm
Shinji’s gonna be a serial killer
July 18, 2019 @ 3:32 pm
Original End: Congratulations!
Shinji: Wait that’s it?
Anno: ….Yes…?
Japan: NOPE here’s END OF EVA
Us: Hurray?
July 18, 2019 @ 3:32 pm
I like the ending shown in the manga
July 18, 2019 @ 3:33 pm
ugh. really bothers me with mispronunciations but go on
