NERV had a branch in Nevada that was destroyed when Unit 04 was activated. I wonder if Las Vegas was destroyed in the process.

Just hit me with that 5th impact
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.
Shit maybe I will watch the rebuilds.
God damn, I gotta watch Evangelion. I didn't know it was like this.
Watch up to the last episode, then watch End of Evangelion for the canon ending. And/or watch the rebuild movies for a condensed retelling that goes in its own direction.
Last 2 episodes you mean. I think.
Which is generally accepted to be the better? Just out of curiosity
They're both extremely excellent. The original series is a fair bit darker and more depressing, and End of Evangelion is definitely a lot more WTF than anything that happens in the rebuild movies (which isn't a bad thing necessarily). The rebuild movies,meanwhile, have much higher production values, and the fights are generally much better--most of the gifs of Ramiel you see are from the rebuild. The characters are also a lot more mentally stable--they're all still depressed and dealing with heavy shit, but it's "I'm taking my meds" depression instead of "untreated spiral" depression.
Cool. Thanks for all the information :-)
I'm kinda in a dark place mentally right now, so might check out the rebuilds.
Yeah, do NOT watch end of Evangelion if you're in a bad mental headspace. The original series ending might be better for you despite the "ran out of money and cobbled together a clip show" values, since it at least has a relatively upbeat tone. EoE starts with "all the main characters are comatose or going through a mental breakdown" and it gets worse from there.
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.
I mean then they got more funding and made more stuff that is weirder but well animated.
You just can't tell the difference between real and fake news these days, smh
As long as it doesn’t become Ozma
Now we have to find a kid named shinji and tell him to get in the god damn robot.
That's assuming he doesn't breakdown in an existential crisis ofc
Can't be, i see no eyes and wheels.
They're hiding in the sponsors.
new best girl? 😳
I was listening to Komm, Susser tod tearing up the other night
