The Bunker - The End of Evangelion (1997)

Well folks, we did it. We reviewed the thrilling conclusion to Neon Genesis Evangelion without watching the actual show. The 3 of us did hardly any research beforehand and just tried to dive in and analyze it as a standalone movie. Was this a good idea? Obviously not. Was it enjoyable? Sorta. Was this the dumbest thing we have ever done on this podcast? Maybe. 

 

For the uninitiated, Neon Genesis Evangelion is a moody 90s anime that serves as a deconstruction of the "Mecha Anime" genre. If you don't know what that means, that's okay because we barely did either. This movie is a redo of the original anime ending which had been panned by fans and critics alike. This movie is regarded as the "proper" ending for the beloved series and is thought of as one of the best conclusions for an anime narrative arc. Too bad we had no idea.
