My take away from the ending of EoE was that there is hope that humanity could have a "happy" future, but we are probably too emotionally flawed to ever achieve it. |

Do you approach all discussions about media interpretation like the other person is an idiot? @TandooriJones That's a great picture of Anno. I actually used it in another column already and thought the claw hands one was funny. |

One can only imagine what Miyazaki's commentary on *ahem* a few of the shorts would sound like. To quote Matt Kowalewski, "If you [show] this in front of Hayao Miyazaki, he closes his eyes, strokes his beard, and nods." Joking aside, I'm sure he generally supports the idea of burgeoning young talent with understanding, like a father supports his kid's weird hobbies. |

The deserted island/Africa episodes weren't made by a different studio, but they were helmed by a different director, Shinji Higuchi. Anno asked him to work on those 12 episodes, which he didn't want to have anything to do with, while he focused on the last five. |

Fair enough! And it is, but I just found it misleading. Although I guess it's misleading about something that doesn't really matter. |

I'm kinda surprised that himura is on this list. for one thing he was just a solider just like everyone else during the meji revolution when he was known as battousai the slasher. i can't really call him an assassin.
makoto? yes. however i am more surprised that aoi shinamori or even saito from the shinsagumi arent on those list cause those two are definitely assassins.
which is why this series have one of the most confusing if not frustrating ending. people was pissed off at the TV series ending, even more pissed at the movie's ending. and now the manga unfortunately have made the ending even more confusing. though it haven't pissed people off as much, but its definitely a head scratcher. lets hope that the rebuild movies have an better ending for the franchise. |

How is Hei in 4th place? The dude is a straight up assassin from head to toe. He is the CHINESE ELECTRIC BATMAN. He's seriously unique in the anime world.

Thank you both! I'm not that far in Nadia so it'll be awhile before I get there, but I'll keep my eye out for this section to see if I can tell the difference in directors. {Edit: Please don't over-quote. Thanks. ~ Psycho 101} |

For the record, there's a manga about their stories; Anno is the one with white opaque glasses. |

Only thing I can say is only the rebels and unconventional minds win in entertainment business.

So, which character "was" he in Otaku no Video, again? Haven't dug out my old VHS in years.

If you are referring to Blue Blazes (Aoi Honoo), it got a drama adaptation last year and it was awesome. I just love that Shimamoto/Honoo thinks of Anno as his rival even though Anno doesn't do anything to provoke Shimamoto in a very rival-ish way. Shimamoto just thinks of Anno as his rival. Speaking of which, the scene in the drama where Anno recognized that the Godzilla in the diorama is the Godzilla from Godzilla vs. King Kong was awesome. Same goes with all the Ultraman references he did. And then there's this scene where he's disappointed that one of his colleague's sister didn't watch Gundam and decided to "educate" her with Gundam by watching the series while waiting for said colleague. Speaking of Anno being a toku nut, Evangelion is an obvious Ultraman deconstruction. |

I have read and watched all of Kenshin and Battousai was an assasins. The author called him one and Kenshin consideren himself as such.

In regards to the interpretation of EoE:
I'm not sure what penguintruth said in his reply, but I think it is worth clarifying that spoiler[Yui specifically states that anyone with the will to return can do so, so its not necessarily the case that Shinji has wiped out all of humanity for good.] |
