The final message of pure hope is what i needed to hear. I cannot thank Evangelion enough for helping me through my struggle

I haven't watched it but an acquaintance once told me that End of Evangelion was made after people didn't like the ending of Neon Genesis. So I assumed it would be depressing. Is that not the case?

    End of evangelion was made after nge, but i dont subscribe to the ide that it was done just because people didnt like nge. On a first watch, alot of people say it's extremely depressing/tragic, but the main message of the anime is one of hope and of persisting through ones' struggles and bettering themselves. Imo it is a very dark anime, but it is also very hopeful in the end. If you want i can do a full analysis of the anime to explain why i think that ^^

    (also nge ending happens during eoe fyi they are both canon)

    I saw EoE in theaters recently and it was incredible! I'd seen in several times before but I still picked up on so much more this time, including the profound feelings of hope.

    Relatedly, Death Stranding 2 gave me more hope for the future than any other piece of media in possibly my entire life

    Well worth the time if you are interested in games as well. (As is the first one)

    Are you ok? You sound like you are going through a lot (I hope you will be able to overcome your struggles).

    Frieren: Beyond Journey's End did that to me as well as Evangelion
