Comment on It's dignity!
its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week agoYou have no idea how nice it is to talk to a fan who isn’t an EOE apologist. I talk about Eva a lot and the current crop of fans spend so much time trying to force the end of the show and the movie together. They end up cutting all the vitriol out of their interpretations, and that in my opinion diminishes the actual point of the film.

What is an EoE apologist?
I think EoE is a great film, and serves its purpose in providing an alternative ending to the TV show, while communicating frustration from the team that worked on it. I consider it a masterpiece in anime film up there with the likes of AKIRA, Princess Mononoke, and Perfect Blue. I like the film equally as much as I like Thrice, but they are both different.
I also really liked Thrice’s soundtrack, Hooked on the Last Train, Pillars of Faith, and Gravestone Without A Date (from Bye Bye Jupiter, 1984) were my favorite songs. On the other hand, EoE’s Komm Susser Todd is perfectly fitting almost as an antithesis of Thrice’s Gravestone Without A Date. I won’t lie, I was a little disappointed initially that Komm Susser Todd didn’t return, but Gravestone Without A Date does have musical references to it, which is a nice touch.
They didn’t have to do Misato like that in Thrice’s ending though.

I was EoE years ago and I still consider it a masterpiece. Rebuild on the other hand I only watched two the rest I couldn’t bother.
