What are everyone's thoughts, feelings, opinions about both the old and new Evangelion series?

4.0 SPOILERS

I thought the rebuild ending was more depressing than EoE, partly because when given the power to create LITERALLY ANYTHING, Shinji goes ahead and creates a copy of THIS WORLD (evidenced by the use of a live action shot in the end), where he will live as a capitalist salaryman with his literal waifu.

At least in EoE everyone could choose to come out of instrumentality by themselves to create a new world, thus leaving everything ambiguous.

Pure ideology, Mark Fisher is vindicated yet again.

They also couldn't go 5 MINUTES without showing some 14 year old girl ass....

    you missed an entire, massive, deeply unsubtle pillar of the show's social commentary that has dominated online discussion (in both Japanese and English) about the franchise and anime industry as a whole for the past 25 years, I think there are plenty of sweeping claims about your biases and shared cultural contexts or lack thereof to be made here
