In another scene, there is a horrendously long sequence in which thousands of still frames are flashed across the screen at a mind-numbing rate. Ultimately, the sequence is a jarring break from the continuity of the animation, and definitely hurts both the show's pacing and overall video quality. Many people I have spoke with have tried to defend the scene by citing its symbolic meaning, but all of them have given me different answers. This comes as quite a shock midway through and manages to come across as exceedingly ugly. Instead, a person with a low budget camcorder randomly wanders around town, filming things like empty movie theatres. In one scene, the 'anime' is not animated at all. The awesome animation is marred, however, by two dreadfully awful sequences. Another highlight is Asuka's central fight midway through the show, which oozes with perfectly stylized violence. A sequence near the end, where iridescent crosses spring from Earth, is one of the nicer pieces of eye candy that I have seen. Because of the film's obviously larger budget, End of Evangelion improves on the excellent original character designs with greatly improved fluidity and backgrounds. The difference between this film and other virtually indecipherable anime (see: Cat Soup, Paprika) is that End of Evangelion pretentiously demands interpretation.There is nothing to entertain the viewer beyond the movie's pompous symbolism, and this is the film's downfall.AnimationGenerally, the animation is pretty damn good. The shows plot was deliberately made incomprehensible for incomprehensibilitys sake there is no meaning to the show other than to have no meaning whatsoever. Certain Neon Genesis Evangelion fanboys have gotten a huge kick out of analyzing the show and attempting to fabricate some sort of interpretation of the events that transpire, but in my opinion this is a futile endeavor. I do not believe that it is because I didn't 'get' the film I believe that there is quite simply nothing to get. I have seen this movie several times, and still cannot enjoy the film one iota. A quote from Roger Ebert's movie glossary comes to mind: 'If you have to ask what it symbolizes, it didnt.' Apparently, the creators of this anime thought that they could substitute all semblences of plot with random scenes that supposedly have symbolic meaning. and then, the anime falls apart under its own philosophical weight. At around 40 minutes in I was actually somewhat interested.

After about 20 minutes of confusion, however, the anime soon finds its feet and I began to be able to follow what was going on. StoryThe story starts in a fairly disorienting manner and then moves quickly from there.
