(And not the movie) A weird one for certain but watching Shinji come to terms with his own difficulties reminds me of myself at that age and serves as a great reminder of the power of mindset.
I was lucky enough to see it in theaters twice last year. It has this reputation for being extremely depressing, and yes the first half is horrific. However the second half and ultimate conclusion of the movie is so incredibly inspiring ! That despite all of the fear or pain that comes from interacting with others, it’s still worth it, and it’s what being human is all about. It pushed me to become marginally less afraid of talking to people, of pursuing genuine connection and I love it dearly for that.
I always want to recommend this at risk of someone actually watching and going “that Taylor, she’s a weirdo” except most of the REALLY weird stuff you have to get through 90% of the series to see so maybe they’re the weirdo! Watched it for the first time roughly a year ago, saw “End of Evangelion” in a sold out theatre tonight and my love for this show immediately came rushing back.
I usually just make myself drip coffee or a single cup of tea during the week but I’ve got a little time so why not make a whole tea service just for me
