Evangelion Episode 25
First-time WatcherLast episode: 30 Rei's enter, 1 Rei leaves. We kinda know what happened with the Second Impact / Adam / EVAs? Still confusing, but better than nothing. Asuka's pretty much out of the fight right now mentally, and Shinji's not doing much better. I am now at least partially rooting for Gendo, since it sounds like SEELE's idea of success is for most of humanity to be killed.
But honestly I'm all in on team Misato.This whole opening is really tough to watch. Turning to despair finding her mother's corpse. Flash forward to the present, and finding out about Kaji leads her to the we've seen. She looks malnourished here. Is this her childhood home? I was trying to figure out where she was., don't ruin your life because of this shithead. Is every single adult in this show sex-crazy?., HE ACTUALLY EXISTS!!
The name 'Kaworu' rolls off the tongue like a pile of garbage, let's see if this guy is more than his suggests.Umm, does Shinji have the hots for Kaworu? These blushes came out of nowhere. I get that he's a sexually confused kid, but that'd be a quick turnaround.Well, guess so. This show has always been mature, but they let it get this episode.
Guess I'm all in on the Shinworu ship?The Beginning and the End, or 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door'.IT'S HERE BOYZ. Let's fuck shit up.?!? Was this from that burn saving Rei? Or something else?.So Kaworu is the soul of Adam? And that's the body of Adam in Gendo? I AM CONFUZZLED.He's the Final Messenger? And Rei is his counterpart somehow???.Asuka has of most broken character to a whole new level.
Misato's the only one who's come back from that level of mental instability.The soul in 02 is completely closed off, did we ever figure out who it was? Asuka's mom is all I can come up with, but then why could they connect so well before? Shouldn't they hate each other?.So that's NOT Adam in the Dogma, it's Lilith?
My theology knowledge is too small to know wtf they're talking about this episode.Dear GOD they. No dialogue, just religious hymns in the background.Shinji's still a broken kid. His last boyfriend.I'M ALL OUT OF IDEAS. The 'last Angel' is now deadzo? The biggest ship of the show was christened and sank in a single episode, RIP Shinworu.To be completely honest I have no clue what's happening plotwise, even though supposedly everything's been 'explained'.
Rei, Kaworu, and the EVAs are all made from Adam. But now that Lilith and Lilim and Rei and Kaworu are all some sort of mystical religious beings, I really am struggling to understand how everything fits together. I am really enjoying it and freaking the hell out during every episode, but I think the show is having too much fun being as cryptic as possible XDIt sounds like SEELE had some control over when Angels were 'sent', but I don't know how much. And WHY though. That's my main question about everything in this whole show; WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!?
Is the end gonna be a metaphor for 'shit happens'? Speaking of the end, there's still 2 more episodes, and I believe we're watching both before tomorrow? No more Angels, SEELE still has its own plans, Gendo now has something growing in his hand (Adam?). This is gonna be a REAL messy ending, isn't it.
