Yes Reshie... the director had mental problems during the series and as you can see, it really affected him towards the end of the series.
Hence the whole messed up situation of like the final 4... the "congratulations" part really screwed me up so i didnt bother.
I prefer to see Evangelion as pure battle anime and stop watching beyond episode 20, after which it goes insane. Apparently "GAINAX" ran out of funding too?
I hope in the future, someone remakes the final 5 episodes putting all biblical references aside and it ends with say.. a simple laymans ending.
Like.. Shinji's mother never really died and yeh takes control of the program, and Shinji dies.. or something.. you know what i mean
