As someone who really dislikes evangelion(the second half of it anyway) your analysis of the series was actually quite interesting, I might rewatch it again sometime now, I still stand by that the series ending felt uneedlessly artsy and jarringly out of nowhere, there's probbly stuff that I missed in it but what I remember of it felt like it could have been said if they'd had a few episodes added on, it's been a good 3 years since I watched the series though so it's probbly about time I went back and watched it again.
I'm also with Eduardo on the rebuild series I love them alot although i've heard meh things of the 3rd, the character development is definieitly more blunt in it but I don't see that as a bad thing the characters still manage to be quite deeply made and i actually found myself enjoying the chars of asuka and shinji for once(I never was truly annoyed by him in the original series like some people though). oh and welcome to the site doolio.

Anyway does anyone watch Sherlock by any chance? That finale to s3 was incredible I heard alot of people complained about the prior episodes for not havin enough crime solving(these season has primarily been abotu character development so I did'nt mind) but they managed to link up both the episodes in one way or another here most of what happens has been subtley foreshadowed, that and I personally think this episode has some of the best acting out of the entire series Freeman manages to act even more amazing then usual,(him and moriarty are by far the best actors in the show I think) the scene with his wife and sherlock in sherlocks flat(I don't know anyway to describe it without spoiling it) being a standout actually i've noticed he's very good at acting with his eyes.
And the villain Charles magnussen, I don't even know where to start, his actor plays him so perfectly that I actually felt a bit awkward and angry watching some of his scenes, the flicking one is a great example. Usually these kind of villains can end up a bit boring, it's easier to make an insane homicidal maniac like moriarty entertaining because, I don't want to say they lack subtley as there are quite alot of layers to moriarty but these types of villains can be easier to make because they can make them over the top I think.
A master blackmailer like Magnussen on the other hand who is perfectly sane even if evil I think the role is mostly actor driven and he does play it perfectly.

Spoiler

part of me is disapointed he died so soon but as long as it has ramifications in the long run for sherlock i'm fine with it, this is the first time we've ever seen someone truly beat him and force him to resort to murder to win.

As for the very end of the episode...if you don't watch the show you won't know what i'm referring to but eeeh I have mixed reactions to the reveal at the end.
