NGE Drama Disc: After the End 1/3

Shit like this is what keeps making me come back to Eva; just how it can totally be serious and absolutely depressing at one point, and then how self parodic and farcical it is a split second later.

This drama was essentially made after End of Eva appropriately (well, as far as I know) and is pretty much the cast making fun of the show as a whole and how a second season would ruin it as far as idea wise.

What’s hilarious is that if you pay close attention to this, you’d notice that some oof the ideas implied here actually made their way into the Rebuild movies (the more skimpier plugsuits in Eva 2.22, Rei having more dialogue and expressing herself, hell, she even slaps Shinji and blocks Asuka’s assault perfectly in the remake of the infamous elevator scene.)

There’s two more parts to this where you can find in the related videos section. At one point Hideiki Anno himself makes an appearance as a “Black Space God”.

(At one point in this drama, they mention the possibility of Asuka being a leader of a Sentai-esquire Eva Pilot squad as well as setting the plot in space. If anyone has seen the trailers for 3.0… then God knows what other ideas could pop up in there. :(((((

(One last note, I love how Shinji barely says anything throughout this entire drama. I just imagine him in the background rolling his eyes as he witnesses everything just play out in front of him.)
