This ending was just terrible. Subtle references to religion and mythology throughout the series suddenly spiral down into some cheap therapy session designed to make otaku boys with daddy issues love themselves? Bah.
No clue what was going on. If we had to watch this episode for class, I would get a zero on the quiz.
Well thank god there are films …

Wow, the last episode and first half of this episode were really exhausting because I didn't expect such deep and psychological moments in the series finale but it definitely fit in well. The alternative reality Shinji imagined was a fun part to pull you out of that exhausting part and him finally realising that he can't really change who he is and finally starting to love himself was a quite good ending to the whole story. This whole anime was very different and I'm glad I watched it.
