boy i heard the ending was bad but i didn't expect it to be the worst god damn ending of anything ever.

idk i've seen worse tbh, but yeah it's not a good ending

end of eva would basically be considered the "real" ending in that it incorporates the "stuff in shinji's head" of episodes 25 and 26 but greatly expands upon that as well as everything happening outside his head too.

Holy shit it has a ton of padding. So many unnecessary flashbacks. So much bloody crying.

But when it's just heroes fighting it's kinda neat I guess

kids shows dont recap for a third of the runtime

Seems more of an anime thing - Dragonball Z, Digimon, I don't watch enough animes, One Piece apparently etc.

Typical MHA episode: 3 minute opening song, 3 minute recap, 8 minutes new content, 3 minutes flashbacks (including flashbacks from the same damn episode?), 3 minute song credits

It's a neat 8 minutes though and luckily with streaming you can skip all the other shit

39;s really the best argument for upgrading to ad free streaming tbh it wouldn't even phase me if skipping didn't bring more mercials

well yeah he's exaggerating lol

about 1:20-1:50 is the golden standard for anime openings and endings it seems to me. my hero academia's opening and ending are both about 1:30. recaps before the opening starts are about a minute in length typically.

The end...is at the beginning. Watch downwards.

Samus Aran

ok finished demon slayer

pretty great except that zenitsu is an insufferable character. if it wasn't for him i would have enjoyed certain episodes a lot more.

The Hand That Fisted Everyone

Quote from: Nyerp on August 28, 2019, 08:00:34 PMnow watch end of evangelion :)
nally watched this and it definitely made up for the shit ending of the tv show.

So much fucked up shit happening at the beginning. RIP that lady dragging that body. RIP that person that god burned. RIP best girl.

The second half was fuckin rad as hell. Loved the animation. Loved how they added more of the frantic animations from the last episodes into the movie, but it works a lot better here. Everything going on in the second half was so batshit crazy and creative. The whole bit with the knock off beatles song: 10/10. This was a great watch and i get why people dig eva now. at first I thought it was just cool 90s gundam. but the shit going on at the end of the show and here in the movie is really cerebral and unlike any anime I've seen before. I wish I saw it when I was younger tho i'm still glad i saw it now.

i've got a love/hate relationship with the show's original ending. but end of eva is really where it's at. and i'm glad that it doesn't really retcon the show's ending, just expands on it in ways that were very much needed.
