>>4383327Ah yes i forgot sorry. Quite busy the other days due to handover for work. I want have a calm vacation :) and Rei smiling. Cute! <3
Ok disclaimer it's mainly based on the anime and my memories from EoE.
As you said, yeah the world in EVA is an hell after the second impact, but during the anime we see...happy moments.
When Shinji and others tries to connect to each other. I.e. The episode where the children have to reach their units after the blackout, ramen shop moment, rei at misato's home dancing with shinji. Rei was kinda having fun, of course showinfmg it in "Rei way".
Those episodes...are not dark or traumatic. I think it's linked to final episode.
In the ending we see the happy universe when shinji realizes he must stop hate himself, stop push away others and then (stop/revert?) It's not clear in the anime... i have/had the feeling like that even in a cursed world, like the Eva one, (and yeah also our...) there is hope for joy and happyness, if we want. If we wish and try to connect each other.
Both Rei and (kinda Kaworu) offer a solution to this joy. I don't think there is a correct one, both can be correct. What one prefer i think just depends on his/her life experience.
Instrumentality is not wrong at all but it's wrong to impose it to all humankind.
Hope it's not too much confusing, i am not good at this :(
Feel free to disagree or saying i'm just telling bullshits :)
Honestly i am curious how rewatch EoE will affect this opinion. I watched Eva for the first time years ago but never discussed like this. Rewatching it as an adult after the (almost) resolution of my little trauma is...interesting.
P.s. i'm enjoying discussing this with you and other even if maybe my vision can be bizzare lol
