The End of Evangelion

 The end of Evangelion

Where is my dream?
It's a continuation of reality.

Then where is my reality?
It's when the dream ends.

Marvelous show, brings out the whole meaning of Evangelion. It kinda summarises the entire series into 80 minutes. But it left me with a thousand questions, just like the manga. I get the bits and pieces of it, but its so difficult to finish the puzzle.

Christianity forms the basic foundation of the entire storyline, so it makes it even more intriguing since well, Evangelion is much closer to us than we think. I spotted other elements of Chinese folklore inside too, at least that's what I think it is. And the way it's portrayed is so strikingly familiar, that makes it so mysteriously eerie.

Shinji: Who are you, living in my heart?

Kaworu and Rei: The hope that people will understand each other, along with the word, "Love".

Shinji: But it's just imagination. A selfish belief.
It's like a prayer. It doesn't last forever.
I'll be betrayed. I'll be deserted.

But I wanted to see them again.
I believed that the feeling I had at that moment was true.

And then I'm left thinking till no end.
