Clasification

I have come to a conclusion. There is no valid reason to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion. It will be labeled masochistic, and then anyone who wishes to view it will do so at their own discression and risk.

It's bad enough that every episode you watch is more and more fucked up, but then by the end when all sorts of shit that can't (and with any regard to human sanity, SHOULDN'T) happen begins to start happening all at once, it's just a liiiitle bit to much.

As for me, I was lucky. Two days ago I had a paper to write. I was up until 1:30 in the morning on that night trying to get it done, and so I Was to tired to watch it before going to sleep. The nights before I was also tired, so I was really getting to a breaking point. My plan was to watch them (note: them being the final 2 Eva movies (talk to Anders about that, but again, only at your own risk)) after I woke up on friday, but from 3:00 shen I got home, I slept until 8:30 the next morning. Quick math: that was about 16 hours, give or take, and this was a good thing. Not only was I finally actually rested (moreso then I have been in quite a while), but I was in a condition to watch these movies and survive. If I had watched them while still tired, I most likely would have been silent for about 42 minutes, and then after that have just started laughing histerically, and then actually managed to laugh myself to death. Also, I would have left a note that would have caused the first few readers to kill themselves. That's the effect that movie would'a had on me, because that's just the kinda guy I am.

But I must say, the movie end was much better then the series end. It actually managed to sum things up and then end them while not actually forgetting that there was a storyline beforehand. It was severily fucked up, but it was still better. Note that I never said it made sence.

For some reason, since I made to it really near then end of the series until now, I've been thinking back to this one episode of the Upright Citizens Brigade that I saw once. It was the one with the Bucket of Truth. It was a bucket of pure unadulterated truth. Anyone who looked into it was driven mad because they now knew the truth about the soul of man. Then there was the renegade cop who had nothing to live for anymore. You know the kind. Drives fast. Drinks a lot. Lost his wife. Goes to bed crying everynight with his gun in his mouth. That sorta guy. Last few seconds of the episode, he finally says "I can't take it anymore. GOD! I'M GOING TO SEE THE TRUTH YOU BASTARD!!!!" And sticks his head in the Bucket of Truth. He pulls his head out, but instead of running off into oblivion like everyone else who has looked into it does, he just turns up to heaven and screams at God, "DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT ALLREADY?"

(Full summation can be found here.)

I think there was a good chance that there was a copy of Eva in the bucket. Maybe two. Two copies and half an apple pie with a scoop or two of strawberry ice cream.
