Hideki Anno

As we near the end of Evangelion, the immaturity of Instrumentality makes itself known amid endless shouting at the audience.

Evangelion isn't impossible to review, you just have to get past viewing it as art-on-religion and see it for what it is.

Shinji can't even kill his boy(friend) without Hideki Anno burdening the story with infodumping.

It's big brain time as Evangelion says...something about Rei and sadness.

Past-Adam reaches his breaking point with the story's demands to be seen.

An episode meant to backfill Evangelion's haphazard story only adds to the ongoing clusterfuckery

Shinji becomes go, and things get robosexual...maybe? I don't know. I need a drink.

Shinji quits, again. Shinji comes back, again. Midway through the third act is a weird time to re-pilot.

Revangelion's 18th essay explores how Evangelion is emotionally resonant in the moment, but struggles to make that count.
