Finally Evangelion: 3. As can be seen in Hideaki Anno: The Final Challenge of Evangelion , the documentary on the making of the 4th film also available on Amazon Prime Video , Anno considers this his goodbye to the world of Eva. The motion control volume in the movie echoes the one used to capture the movements of the characters for the anime.
As Shinji closes up shop, bids farewell to Kawaru, Rei,and Asuka, Anno puts away his toys, one last time. Leaving everyone hopefully at a better place than they started.

Specifically, the relationship between Angels and Humans.
Adam vs Lilith. What NERV is. When did the First Impact happen? The easier way is to look at the main thematic purpose of Evangelion. To that end I have a single word for you: loneliness.
Loneliness drives Neon Genesis Evangelion. Every character is responding to their own relationship with loneliness. The mysterious Human Instrumentality Project is about banishing loneliness. And the final scenes in both episode 26 and End of Evangelion are in the context of, you guessed it, loneliness. It also is important to know Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno based the story on his own struggles with depression and negative mental health. The original end was going to be the failure of humanity and the success of the Angels.
Which is a truly pessimistic conclusion. But, instead, Anno sought a kind of salvation for his characters—possibly as a means of finding a similar path for himself. This is how easy it is to explain Evangelion. The entirety of the story builds to Shinji having a decision to make: does he choose to hide in a collective humanity where everyone is no one, or does he finally find value in his individuality and face the world?
For 24 episodes, Evangelion develops its world and characters, and reinforces just how alone they feel. Everything that happens in those 24 episodes serves two purposes. One, show us how broken each character is and the origins of the self-esteem and insecurity issues that breed their isolation and loneliness. That final break comes in the form of the Human Instrumentality Project. What is the Human Instrumentality Project? Just a fancy way of describing an extinction-level event that causes human souls to form into an eternal soup that prevents people from feeling alone and uncertain.
No self-esteem. No insecurity. Only togetherness. Christ-like Unit Giant Rei. The Mass Production Evas speared through with lances. The crosses and swirling spirits. This is the weird and evocative way Anno decided to show the creation of this place where everyone is melted into unity. Fields that had separated them into individual forms—the show itself has lost its distinction from reality.
Different factions in Evangelion want to bring about Human Instrumentality for different reasons throughout the series. In short, in both the series finale and End of Evangelion , Human Instrumentality begins, and at its center is protagonist Shinji Ikari.
The End of Evangelion offers a sort of revised, definitive version of the final two controversial episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
That said, the final moments of the series and its companion film are diametrically opposed. In its iconic final moments, the depressed and rudderless Shinji claims agency over his life for the first time.
He then receives congratulations from the series' key characters, with whom his consciousness has merged. In The End of Evangelion, Shinji rejects Instrumentality, and finds himself stranded on a desolate, post-apocalyptic Earth with only Asuka by his side. The ending of the series is hopeful in tone but bleak in implication, given that Shinji's newfound bliss appears to be a product of Instrumentality rather than his own free will.

The voice of the fans grew stronger as they demanded a proper ending to the drama, explanations of the mysteries, or even a new story. Thus, in order to meet these demands, it was decided to remake episodes 25 and They were not anime fans. In fact many of them are females and they tell me that they really enjoyed episode 25, objectively.
Most anime fans are furious. I understand their anger. I can't help laughing when hard-core anime fans say that we did a very lousy job, with intentional negligence. No we didn't. No staff members did a lousy job. In fact, every member at Gainax gave more energy than anybody can imagine. I feel sad that those fans couldn't see our efforts.
Personally I think the original TV ending we showed ended up beautifully. I figured that, "In 10 years or so, if we look back on something that we made while we were drunk out of our minds, we wouldn't feel bad even if the quality wasn't so good.
Ogata and I were at a loss how we should play what Anno wanted to express; she even tried to ride on me and choke me to meet his demand. He must have been pursuing reality.
