18 - The Judgement of Life/Ambivalence
NERV is finally receiving EVA Unit-03, and eagerly places its new pilot inside for a seemingly routine sync test. But yet again, fate rears its ugly head as Unit-03 is taken over by an Angel, destroying the research facilities and wreaking havoc on Asuka and Rei as they try in vain to stop the rampaging EVA. Now it's up to Shinji to stop the Angel/EVA before it invades NERV HQ - but he'll have to make a decision to fight against someone he doesn't even know, but still feels a strang ebond with as a pilot. Gendo, however, doesn't feel the same, and he will do anything in order to protect the interests of NERV and of SEELE. This is one of the more emotional and disturbing episodes of the series, and was the most effective up to this point. It's simply heartbreaking to see Shinji go through all of this.
19 - A Man's Fight/Introjection
In anger and frustration over seeing the broken and battered body of the Fourth Child, Shinji threatens to blow up Tokyo-3 with the self-destruct sequence of his EVA. When that fails, he tenders his immediate resignation from NERV as an EVA pilot, disgusted by the actions of his father. Shinji's "retirement", however, may be short-lived as another Angel threatens to endanger not only NERV, but all of Tokyo-3 and its innocent civilians in the Geo-Front shelters! Now Shinji must make a choice between his pride and his conscience, but little does he know that his decision will take him down a path from which there is no return. Another wonderful episode, including the infamous second berserker scene, which was almost as disturbing as seeing Shinji destroy Unit 03.
20 - Weaving a Story II: Oral Stage
EVA Unit-01 has once again shown its enigmatic yet incredible power. However, Shinji has completely disappeared, almost without a trace, and NERV must work against time to find a solution to this latest dilemma. Misato and Ritsuko are on edge with each other as the fate of the Third Child hangs in the balance. However, it's more than Shinji's body that is on the line - it is his very soul, as he is forced to look inward and discover his reasons for existence, piloting an EVA, and his lack of hope for the world. From this episode, it's clear to see where things are going. Everything is falling apart. Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Misato, Nerv, and, the world. So many have complained that the show just suddenly switched to this psyco-babble (as many like to call it), but I think that even from the start of the series that it wasn't just another big-robot-fighting anime. Which, people still pass it off as.
Oh, and the Extras are great too. The Meaning of Eva documentary didn't give any new information, since, most likely if you're a fan enough to go out and buy the special edition DVDs, you already wrapped your head around these ideas...But it was entertaining and good to see something rounding it all out. |
