I bought this collection for ep. 25 and 26.
|
First of all, this series for the most part is about robots(not really but looks it) vs monsters (called angels). Christian terms are used in many places yet this is not a christian show. Anyways, I found out about the show when it was being aired on cartoon networks adult swim. I at first thought it was a normal anime with the lame fantasy stuff all the nerds are into. Not true completely. This show digs past that in some of the show, showing develpment of a world thats falling apart on the outside and from within each character. Thats what started drawing me in to the show. Ep. 22 "Don't Be", struck a cord with me as Asuka starts turning for the worst into this mental breakdown that is beyond painful and odd. The whole crew is showing signs of battle damage so to speak towards the end in Ep.s 23 and 24. But Nothing was more weird than what happens in Ep's 25 and 26.
Basicly After the final angel is killed Shinji is dealing with the factor he killed someone that he seemed to get very close with. Then in Ep. 25 "Do You Love Me?" We are greeted with the introduction of the Human Instrumentality Project, which is more like some sort of mental helping device. Anyways, this show spins off to understand the characters and they pasts and what makes them who they are. Most shocking being Asuka remembering her birth mother hanging from the doorway. Its desturbing and very deep. All comes down to the basic feelings of: being lonely, being hurt, and wanting protection and companyonship.
Ep. 26 "Take Care of Yourself" is without a doubt weird. Still In the Instrumentality machine, now the issue is perspective and what makes all man and what drives one self and how to know ones self. We see in one part Shinji in very basic drawn animation form as he gets perfect freedom, but finds out is still awkward and lonely and he still can't understand himself. After going thru a possible reality that is very funny, shinji decides he can find a way to move on and keep living.
Anyways Mind blowing Ep's at the end. Too deep appeantly for Anime folks based on these reviews I've read. So to those outside of the anime belt reading this, if your looking for something truely deep, and more personal, get something with these 2 Ep's on it.
But the box set is so cheap, and other ep's are darn good as well, so why not this box set. The english subtitles are great.
The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star perfect review is because the lack of interviews and extra content. All that's specal is eps 21 thru 24 have had extra animation and *story* added. Still get this.
