      Episode 7: obviously more sleight than the freight trains that came before, but just as critical I'm assuming for set-up. And in the end, an important lesson: "that's what families do"... not like I would know.

      Episode 8: The sense of scale in this show continues to impress, largely cuz it's constantly trying to think about how to use that scale creatively. Seeing the EVA hop on top of battleships is precisely that sort of fun so many others dont think of. Also, my god, the horniness.

      Well, just had to block someone for spoiling basically everything. I've talked about this in the Avatar thread, but I don't know what it is specifically with certain kinds of anime fans. They can't talk about the present moment without talking how its connected to the future.

      Episode 10: Ha! Good fake out for the Beach episode. Horniness continues. Fights still inventive, but it's funny how different and social the last few have been in comparison to the crushing solipsism that came before. I'm guessing this will change, of course (don't answer)

          Episode 12: We get a peek into the major's backstory (love it) and the fact that they are building up so much positivity and growing relationships and teamwork makes me uniquely terrified for when it all inevitably goes to shit (again, don't answer that).

          Episode 13: Ritsuko backstory! I like how the show just keeps letting us into more characters. But I fully admit, pacing wise, I'm ready for some bigger changes. Also I have never, ever, in all my life seen a show this determined to get its characters naked at every chance.

          Episode 16: I love the way that power levels / cables play into EVA battles. Cuz this is no "power fantasy." It understands limitations are DRAMA. Also, the evolution of the Angels is fucking awesome. The shadow monster as a pit of despair? Love when a metaphor meets a monster.

          But it all gives more than that, Shinji's "giving up" moment and the survival instinct kicking in? The overlapping of the major and mother? All giving rise to the bloody rebirth of a character who finds the duality of courage / terrifying autonomy? Wow. Favorite episode so far.

          And the beat with Asuka waiting outside the bed! Like, i can't get over how good this episode was. It's like they were very quietly building up little thematic beats and relationship threads for the last 6 episodes, then in one fell swoop, pulled on all of them at once.

          Episode 17: I looooooove that they take an entire episode to deal with the new fourth child, but it's in that perfect way where they never say it, and yet they are always saying, and so much subtle character work done within all of it. But Toji just carries it all in silence.

          Episode 18: It starts with the little ways the ways the choices stack up, the not telling, the shift in dynamics, the way sadness creeps in, even for Asuka.. and then the second half... That is probably the single most brutal, haunting thing I've ever seen. I gotta go for a walk

          Walk achieved. Ready to plunge into the next one. What I want to take a second and say is that this episode highlights why it's so damn important to have sensitive, emotional characters. Because all I'm still thinking about is how they are going to be hurt by this experience.

          Episode 20: Solipsism made literal. The endless meditation of a boy caught in an impossible crux. To battle. To harm. To obliterate himself, which just leaves him with the simplest of wants. To be nurtured. To be taken care of. And so he must die and be reborn. Again. And again.

          Episode 21: A "backstory" episode, but not in a way. There's so much revealed, but so much more inviting us into entire pools of history and unspeakable things the cruelest of behaviors. Shinji's final words might as well have been true for all them... "I was just a child."

          Episode 22: The problem with most humans is that our demons are largely what drive us, but when we're young, we rarely understand that. Watching Asuka lash out, compare, challenge, hate, stamp, and all of it was inevitably going to run out of steam...

          And that's because nothing good ever comes from running from our demons. Not only does it fissure our soul, but because there's no way to even outrun them because they're irrevocably locked inside us. And thus, the only real solution is to heal.

          But that means letting light into the dark places. Letting others see and know that which is so impossibly painful and cause of the damage we do in turn. We feel this is the act of defilement. But the truth is the defilement came long, long ago.

          Episode 24: So much of the early show was Shinji's internal depression and his juxtaposition with the world. And now, the loss and grief hangs over the world itself. Everything is broken... so of course it becomes a giant fucking cosmic opera... of course.

          Episode 25: "Where am i supposed to go now?" And so we get the final meditative drop (oddly conveyed in what is abstract brechtian modern theater?). But really it's textbook psychology. Shinji's suicidal depression. Asuka's Attachment. Rei's (quite literal) imposter syndrome.

          Episode 26: So I'm going to be forthright. There's a lot of reason storytelling DOESN'T take this path (a dreamscape of characters telling the character things he should know as voices in their head) and it's simple: dramatically speaking, it spreads thin / feels repetitive.

          But if you can accept that and move on, then it simply becomes about the quality of ideas. And here, it is a resounding answer to the questions it's been asking from minute one of the show. For you, it is okay to be here. For all of us. To be alive.
