      This one here. Honestly the best Angel battle in the series.

      The electrical engineering preparations, the pressure from the Eva sniper rifle’s shot melting away infrastructure, the slow looming threat, the squeal before Ramiel claps back, the mountainside which just fucking melts, the city getting blood-flooded.

      All A tier. Prove me wrong.

          You’d better not expect a satisfying conclusion. They ran out of money and couldn’t make the final episodes, so it’s still images of characters on white backgrounds with no real closure.

            Honestly any first time watcher should just expect not to know what the fuck is going on.

            Unless you watch a comprehensive video essay, you’re probably not going to understand the >!religious significance behind many terms!<, >!why the main characters pathologies lead them to their own existentialist hellscape!<, >!the history of the aliens relation to the cosmos !<, >!and why Shinji’s hand is sticky!<

              The knowledge that they received cloaks from Galadriel that can hide them was pretty important in the second film when they do just that. For people who hadn’t seen the extended edition of the first film it was very confusing when they turned into rocks suddenly.
