Ok with the bashing of Evangelion, I thought this scene from End was pretty fucking sweet.
For all it's faults I do like Evangelion (I adore the manga and quite like the TV series) but that sequence is to me the lowest point in the franchise as (again with this) it's little more than pesudo-intellectual drivel created for the sake of covering up the fact they had quite clearly ran out of buget...again. That and the ultimate resolution of the movie is basically a rip-off of Ideon: Be Invoked (1982). They essentially have the same ending; 'God-like mecha uleashes its power to unite humanity into a collective consciousness which takes on the form of an ocean of red'.
I liked it up to the point of the live action sequence. Once it got to the live action sequence (where I mentioned he did the fuck you to the fans) it sucked. And I only liked the part due to the sweet music really, lol.
I like a lot of anime music.
I appreciated the purpose of that scene, I felt however that it went on to long to the point where it became pretentious. The live-action footage was that and entirely pointless.
