I liked Raxephon... unlike Evangelion,it gave the main protagonist a choice and he actually chose his path...as opposed to a miserable person like shinji being forced into either oblivion or being alone forever lol
I like Eva to,but it just lacked a positive message and made shinji seem more hopeless(even in the first ending in the series,it still makes him seem lost)
Agreed. Rahxephon also had the joy of having a plot completely plotted out to begin with. All of the pieces of the puzzle worked towards a final answer which worked so well. I was pleased.
@heero171 What are you talking about? Shinji had a choice, as well. Choose between a painful reality where individuals exist or a a painless dream-like reality where everyone is one. Shinji chose the path of a reality that has pain because of the joys and happiness he enjoyed in such a reality, his interactions with others, etc. were all real, and it had meaning as opposed to the latter choice. Basically, life is hard, it is painful, but if you have the volition to make it better, it can be.
@Cman1O7 Depends on which ending you're talking about. If you've only seen the end of the series, the ending your described doesn't sound close to that ambiguous ending.
@heero171 Your point? Does ambiguous = not positive? The ending of the series is ambiguous, but that only relays its own very message about truth and its subjectivity for each individual. Also that you need to love yourself in order to be able to love others. And to clarify, I am of the opinion that both the series ending and The End of Evangelion go hand and hand as the true ending for the series as a whole.
@Cman1O7 As much as I'd like to debate, this is my last reply. The ending of the series was due to financial cut and they had to pull the plug on production.. it was not preferred. The End of Evangelion was the ending the creator wanted, thought said it could be considered an "alternative ending". Hand in hand? Really? Shinji became Adam and Asuka Eve in the film and it was a dark ending because they hated themselves and each other despite everything. The series ending was meant to be left open
@heero171 I am aware of the financial situation Gainax was having during those times. You do not have to keep repeating it over and over again. I know I won't be able to enlighten you to my position when it comes to "both endings going hand and hand". However, what does your "Adam and Eve" argument say that totally throws my position out? I hope you know that its also possible that others came back after Shinji and Asuka, based upon something Yui said earlier in the film.
@Cman1O7 Eva fans like to talk about it like everything was so purposeful and complex.. it really isn't. The ending of the show happened due to real-world contraints. The movie was what the director envisioned, but it pissed a lot of fans off. This rebuild films are what i'm interested in, it seems like they're meant to be more hopeful..though we don't know at this point.
@heero171 Yes, some Eva fans do say that, however, "I" never said that Evangelion was "so purposeful and complex". I am of the crowd that believes it really wasn't complex; it was made complex by all the Eva fans that could not understand that the religious symbolism in the show was merely just for cool points, etc. I merely countered your argument that "Shinji never had a choice, unlike Kamina" (not exact quote) using identifiable evidence from "both" endings, which were both envisioned by Anno
@Cman1O7 I'm fully aware of your perspective. I don't hate Eva by an stretch of the imagination. I however do not see any positive message in the series or the movies aside from Anno's own experiences with depression and the process in which humans cope, and endure trauma, fear, depression, loneliness and so forth. I suffer from manic depression myself, and found the series purposefully left open to whatever interpretation revolving around the final fates of the characters (violent deaths aside)
@heero171 Well to each their own, I suppose. I saw a positive message in both of the endings, so far; as I explained earlier. Especially Yui's message to Shinji after he chose reality over a dream at the end of the film: "As long as the sun, the moon, and the stars exist...everything will be alright" and/or "You are alive, so you will always have a chance to be happy."
@heero171 However, its just as you said, the series ending could not be what he "truly" envisioned because of the aforementioned real-world constraints. However, that does not mean that the series ending did not carry any message at all, as you seemed to imply out of your last comment. My point overall was really to try to rattle your brain a bit because it seemed like you took Evangelion in facevalue/very pessimistically, and listened to its general fandom more than the show itself.
So much love to this song *^* Also if someone has the instrumental/off vocal version of it, can I please have the link? :3

@Cman1O7 If that isn't a positive message, I don't know what is, then.
