The TV series was more depressing than the movie.

That's because the movie is the happy ending.

They end up in a fucked up environment that may or may not be suitable for living, with the entire civilization destroyed.
I'm not sure if that's a happy ending. At least in the TV it all ended with Shinji believing that everything can be alright.

The only difference is in how far forward you get to see.

They are both top tier, and thankfully Anno didn't punk out at that time with a shitty fan pleasing ending.
I just hope that will not be the case with 3.0+1.0.

This is not true, shinji accepts instrumentality in 25 and 26

It ends with Shinji beginning to get over his mental issues, which was what the whole show was about anyway. The original ending just ends with him continuing to run away from reality. EoE is the good end.

Oh, and basically killing the entire human race because they don't have the option to come back.

What was depressing about it? I feel like white millennials are the only ones to use this word so loosely.

TV ending -- happy ever after in the Matrix
EoE -- Shinji shits the bed for everyone.

>>135585081
That's because it was basically Anno's depression in animated form, at least the ending was happy.

If you actually paid attention to the dialogue and imagery, you'd realize you're wrong.

It was a damn good mecha series, though the ending explanation was fucktarded. It at least ended in a way that implies that shinji might get with asuka.

ftfy, manga shinji is gay.
