Question about The End Of Evangelion

Name: Owtch 2005-12-28 7:39

When Shinji is alone in the emergency room with Asuka after he's done calling for help from her, there is a moment were the screen pans all around the room and you hear Shinji's breath become quite rough but still low, then it shows his hand with some sort of fluid on it, personally I think that he was masturbating while Asuka was passed out, and some of the dialouge in the movie would only add substance to prove my point, but one of my friends thinks that the stuff in Shinji's hands was either tears or sweat.

Well 4chan, I wanna hear you opinions, cause really the fuck not, always good to get others opinions.

You can't really understand EoE unless you've seen the series.  It also helps if you know that Hideki Anno, writer of both the series and EoE, got a lot of hate mail for the way he ended the series, and most of the weird and depressing shit in EoE is Hideki Anno rubbing the fans' noses in it.

"Oh, did you like Shinji?  Did you respect him for struggling with his horrible and tragic life, his crippling clinical depression, then being able to fight heroically and save the day anyway?  POOF!  Now he fondles unconscious girls and masturbates on them, then tries to strangle them.

Oh, did you like Misato?  She dies horribly.  Did you hold out hope all this time that she and Shinji might have feelings for one another and be happy together?  POOF!  It's the world's most depressing kiss.

Oh, did you like Ritsuko?  POOF!  She loses her mind and goes insane, THEN dies horribly.

Asuka?  Torn apart by the Mass Production Evas.  Rei?  POOF!  She's the Angel of Death.  Maya?  POOF!  She's a puddle of orange goo.

Did you hold out hope for some kind of comprehensible hopeful ending, since Shinji has saved the world?  POOF!  The world is destroyed anyway.

Suck on THAT, fans.  I've got your happy ending right here."

NGE is one of the most impressive achievements in anime, one of the most impressive things I've ever seen.  But Gainax should have sent a few burly men to Anno's office after he finished writing episode 20, and given the project to someone else to finish.  It frustrates the hell out of me.  It could have been so much better than it was.
