The final message of pure hope is what i needed to hear. I cannot thank Evangelion enough for helping me through my struggle

    I haven’t watched it but an acquaintance once told me that End of Evangelion was made after people didn’t like the ending of Neon Genesis. So I assumed it would be depressing. Is that not the case?

      It’s depressing in a way, but there’s a lot of hope to be found in it. If I were to use a phrase to describe it, I’d say it feels like a release of tension.

      End of evangelion was made after nge, but i dont subscribe to the ide that it was done just because people didnt like nge. On a first watch, alot of people say it’s extremely depressing/tragic, but the main message of the anime is one of hope and of persisting through ones’ struggles and bettering themselves. Imo it is a very dark anime, but it is also very hopeful in the end. If you want i can do a full analysis of the anime to explain why i think that ^^

      (also nge ending happens during eoe fyi they are both canon)
