Certainly. that drove me nuts until I learned why Anno was doing
that. The absurd becomes more palatable when it is simply allegorical. :)
Hmmm. I was aware of Anno being in that state of mind, but my thing
is...the story was so good up to that point. or maybe that is the
point...either which way, I like a lot of Evangelion, just not the
way the ending seems to have been scrimped on.
It's sad that they ran out of money for the last couple of episodes,
but I liked the ending a lot regardless. Shinji grew up and finally
"got it", which is something we didn't see in the movie version.
Personally, I think that's a "get out of jail" card for the SEED
franchise - if ever they want to make something on that angle,
it's there. Otherwise, it's just an intriguing detail.
Yeah, I guess that's so. I really, really, *really* hope no one's
running with that, though. Let SEED rest in pieces.
Well, I actually liked SEED (for some reason, I do like Wing and
Seed even if the plots are woofy). I'd like to see a third one, but
yeah, if it sucks (by my standards)...I'd rather not.
As I've said, I really liked SEED. It was a nice reimagining of the
original Gundam storyline, and Kreuze was a wonderful villain (made
all the more compelling by the fact that he was in a unique position
to judge the ultimate worth of humanity). I just think it should have
stopped there, as Destiny didn't really do anything to advance the storyline.
