Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

The buzz surrounding the finale of "Ultraman" has not yet died down.

Another work by the Land of Light animation studio.

Evangelion (Neon Genesis Evangelion) has also ushered in its final chapter, which is destined to be recorded in history.

Final Episode: "For You, My Heart"

After the Seventeenth Angel was defeated, NERV headquarters seemed to have enjoyed a long-awaited peace, with staff discussing their future plans in a tranquil atmosphere.

Is it calm?

Is that all?

The Strategic Self-Defense Force launched the attack under the pretext that "NERV is attempting to trigger the Third Impact, and we must protect all of humanity."

They carried out a brutal massacre of NERV staff.

The fortress that once protected humanity has been transformed into a battlefield in an instant.

At the same time, each character also faced their destined end.

Rei Ayanami, this cyborg girl, finally awakened her independent self-awareness at the last moment.

She rejected Gendo Ikari's cruel plan to use her as a vessel to resurrect his deceased wife, and instead chose to merge with Lilith, transforming into a colossal being radiating divine light (GNR).

However, at the very last moment before the completion of the instrumentation plan.

For Shinji, for the boy who gave her the feelings of "humanity," she chose self-destruction, ending the Instrumentality Project with her own demise.

Gendo Ikari, this cold-blooded man, attempts to control the power of the gods to fulfill his obsession with reuniting with his deceased wife.

Ultimately, his plans were shattered by the betrayal of the awakened Rei Ayanami, leading to his death.

Shinji Ikari, having personally killed Kaworu Nagisa, the only one who understood him and brought him warmth, suffered a complete emotional breakdown and curled up in the abyss of pain, unable to pull himself together.

Misato Katsuragi was hit by a stray bullet from the Self-Defense Forces while covering Shinji's boarding of Unit-01, and died a heroic death.

Before her death, she left Shinji a cross necklace stained with her own blood as a symbol of his belief in living and fighting on.

Asuka, in the moment when her life was hanging by a thread, finally broke through her inner barrier, felt the presence of her mother's soul in EVA Unit-02, and completed her self-completion.

She unleashed astonishing combat power, engaging in a fierce battle with the Self-Defense Force and the incoming mass-produced EVA units.

However, after its power was exhausted, Unit 2 was brutally dismembered by the mass-produced units...

Shinji, who was piloting Unit-01 again, witnessed the horrific dismemberment of Unit-02, which caused him to suffer a complete mental breakdown and ultimately led him to accept the "Human Instrumentality Project".

The walls of the hearts of all humanity have disappeared, and their bodies have disintegrated into orange LCL liquid.

The souls returned to the "Egg of Lilith," merging into a vast ocean of collective unconsciousness.

Within this absolute realm of the spirit, Shinji experienced a dialogue with all the consciousnesses that have ever existed.

Initially, he longed to escape the pain and harm of the real world through this complete fusion.

But in the end, he came to his senses.

A world without individuals, without barriers, and without harm also means losing oneself, losing genuine emotions, and losing the possibility of growth and love.

Even if it hurts, even if it hurts... I want to go back to that world where other people exist!

Shinji made his choice; he refused Instrumentality.

With Shinji's refusal, the Instrumentality Project came to an abrupt end.

The deified Rei Ayanami disintegrates, and the mass-produced machine crashes.

After the third impact ended, the world was left with only an endless red ocean.

Shinji and Asuka, the only two remaining humans still in their individual forms, lay on the red beach, slowly awakening.

Overwhelmed by a complex mix of emotions, Shinji reached out and grabbed Asuka by the neck. He then broke down and cried.

Asuka did not resist; she simply looked calmly at Shinji.

Shinji finally broke down, let go, and cried uncontrollably.

Asuka reached out and gently stroked his cheek, uttering the line that was destined to become a classic.

"That's disgusting."

The End of EVA

Yang Qian chose the plot of the theatrical version of "True Love" as the ending of the animation.

It retains the impact and openness of the original work, leaving all viewers with endless space for thought and debate.

At this moment, the internet was in an uproar.

Unit-01, wielding the Spear of Longinus, transformed into a god;

The endless sea of ​​LCL;

The vision of all humanity turning into "orange juice"; the scene where Shinji grabs Asuka by the neck and she gently strokes his cheek...

It brought an unprecedented spiritual shock to all the audience.

"Holy crap!!!! I'm totally blown away by this ending from Everbright! It's absolutely shocking!"

"A masterpiece! This is a true masterpiece! I thought it would be a family-friendly film, but Guangda gave us all orange juice?!"

"I declare that *EVA* is the philosophical pinnacle of the anime world! Hikaru is incredibly audacious!"

"This is human nature... I admire Everbright so much for daring to expose the contradictions and fragility of human nature so nakedly!"

"Ah-Kuang: Business risks? What are those? I'm only responsible for artistic creation."

However, huge controversy followed.

"What kind of garbage is this?! I can't understand it at all! It's just a gimmick!"

"An open ending? Isn't that just a terrible ending?! It's like feeding the audience shit! Thumbs down!"

"Damn it! Give me my money back! I've been following this for so long and this is what you show me?!"

Just when public opinion was about to split.

A post that was published not long ago has been widely shared.

The author of the post is Zhou Lin.

The girl who overcame depression because of "Ultraman Tiga" watched the ending of "EVA" with her father, Zhou Jianguo.

She wrote down her thoughts online, tears streaming down her face.

I suffer from depression. During my most desperate time, when I even considered giving up on life, it was Ultraman Tiga that told me that everyone can become light.

Today, EVA taught me that even though each of us is isolated by the "wall of the heart," we may feel lonely, hurt each other, and feel disgusted... but Shinji ultimately chose to return to this imperfect world.

Because only here can there be real connection, the possibility of change, and... love.

[Thank you, Ah-Guang. These two works completely taught me what life and existence are.]

This reflection also serves as one of the references for understanding the ending.

The long-neglected and previously overlooked group of people suffering from depression has once again come into the public eye, evoking widespread empathy and attention.

More and more people are beginning to share their stories of struggling with their inner darkness, giving the ending of "EVA" a deeper social significance.

after an hour,

The official Weibo account of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China published a long article:

From the "collective light" of Ultraman Tiga to the "individual choice" of Evangelion—A brief analysis of the positive guidance of Land of Light works on the psychological development of teenagers: learning to accept one's imperfections and embrace the real world.

The article highly affirms the positive value of the Land of Light works in guiding teenagers to think about the meaning of life, understand themselves, and deal with interpersonal relationships and psychological dilemmas.

It emphasizes that under the spirit of collectivism, attention should also be paid to individual mental health and personality development.

The official stance has once again been set.

……

Land of Light Animation Studio.

"Director Yang, this is a preliminary plan for collaboration merchandise based on the ending of EVA, including LCL liquid-themed beverage (harmless food coloring version), a pen shaped like the Spear of Longinus, and a figure of Unit-01 in berserk mode, etc."

Su Xiaoran handed over the tablet.

After experiencing such a huge public opinion storm and official certification, the market prospects for these related products are now very bright.

"Hmm, the plan is good, let's proceed with it."

Yang Qian glanced at it and said calmly.

For him, the end of "EVA" is not the end, but a new beginning.

The exploration of art and the operation of business should naturally go hand in hand.

"In addition, Mr. Zhou's car factory collaboration plan has also been released, and he invites you to visit the car factory tomorrow."

"understood."
