Evangelion: Shinji is completely useless and whimpers for 90 minutes straight If you thought the series' ending was bad... This is somehow even worse! I think Shinji is depressed and hates his father... we can't really know for sure from the 100 times he told us that. I wish they really pushed the message one more time to be sure. Quality "deep" writing and peak anime story telling!
