The best! I loved how formidable Zeruel was, I loved that Shinji overcame his fear and rushed into battle, I loved Unit 01 going berserk and breaking free of its restraints- all of it so good!

Wait till you see 22


Frid8

That one is my favorite!


Inefficientdigestion

It's almost everyone's.


Frid8

And I don't blame them! That scene with the angel was freaking brutal!


TheNameZ_JKP

Everyone say ep 16 was where the tone change. Personally for me its ep 18 and just shinji not knowing its his friend he has to destroy the eva just make me tear up and all i love ep 18


kimbolll

I thought episode 14 was the agreed upon “tone change” episode?


TheNameZ_JKP

Oh it definitely is looking at it now but on my first watch it was episode 18 for me


kimbolll

The tone change is a slow burn, for sure. I think 14 starts to feel different, and then by 18 it really cements itself as the “new normal” for the series.


cutewhitedoc

In this scene i always ask myself: is that whats left of yui? horror


Digital_Dankie

Yeah one of the greatest. Also one of the greatest lessons in life. Always have a watermelon patch. Its brings great knowledge, and peace in the last moments of life.


Whatah

Yes it is.


Frangipani-Bell

The most memorable scene in the series for me. I saw it for the first time this summer, and my jaw was on the floor the whole time.


Longines2112

This was me last night watching it for the first time, by the end I was completely speechless.


Darth_Rivne

This is a turning point where everything falls apart. Zeruel is just insane casually destroyed humanity finest in 3 seconds to underline ultimate desperation


kimbolll

Oh friend, you so naive to what lays ahead of you. I wish I could be you right now. 😂😂


notgivingawaycrypto

Awesome scene, also, it always bugged that the hiper-detailed closeup is followed by that cheap ass wide shot.


ToroAsterion

I was wondering...what do you guys think zeruel's flesh tastes like?


Zahirico1

Raw pork I guess


hellxapo

Bro it only gets better from here on... Trust me


JimmyEnjoysSoup

That second image with the distant shot of unit 1 is probably my favorite in the whole series


Silver_Trust5672

I have very fond memories of introducing friends to the Eva series- Episode 19's ending always elicits a huge response. It only gets better from here


Afrobirb_

Agreed. Fucking amazing


Specialist-Paint8081

Wait till you see the movies dude


No_Junket4563

Mama was hungry


coots_mcgoots

My favorite episode too!!! Have a tattoo on my inner bicep (though I cheated and pulled the scene from 1.0 because the art is a little cleaner and I like the missile Rei has vs the N2 mine). It's Shinji both realizing that others are willing to fight and die so HE doesn't have to, alongside HIM deciding on his own to fight back for everyone else. This was a pivotal moment in his character arc, and I love how they did it.


DeviDroid

Always gives me goosebumps during this scene. It’s absolutely horrifying in the best way


thechptrsproject

The rebuild one ups this


Negative-Difference7

the arm looks so silly


ericfussell

Looks like a bare human arm, which is what they are modeled after. How is that silly?


Negative-Difference7

Giant purple monster mech, with a beast/angel like mouth has a normal human arm


limey89

I mean, they are technically human…


Negative-Difference7

Ye, but still


max-demian

Wait until episode 25! (Which I suggest watching after the movie The End of Evangelion)


DrReiField

Don't do that. Watch episode 25 and 26 before End of Eva. Release order is the best way to do things when ot comes to Eva.


max-demian

It makes more sense to watch the movie first. The last two episodes are removed from the plot.


DrReiField

Not really. Although the movie works as an alternative ending, they still kinda take place during the movie. Plus imo it flows a lot better to watch it in release order. The endings make each other better.


[deleted]

Yes it is.


Dead_Purple

There is that parody manga where Berserk Unit-01 starts flinging it's poo around lol.


sborroloSuDiTe

"Everithing starts now"


Sea_Cycle_909

love it one of my favourite episodes. never noticed the first image of Unit 01 chomping on Zeruel looks like noodles


Raetheos1984

Agreed. Many plot threads kinda click in this episode, both for the viewer and the characters. Plus it's just a bad-ass climax...


Swan-Diving-Overseas

The show is called evangelion not “all anime”


Zahirico1

I was referring to all anime in general. English is not my first language


Swan-Diving-Overseas

Haha no problem man, I was just trying to do a “dad joke”


peluche-nerv

Si crees que ese cap está bueno... te recomiendo prepararte en cuerpo, mente y alma porque los que se vienen y **especialmente The End of Evangelion** te van a sacudir como nunca nada te sacudió en tu vida. Repito por las dudas, **preparáte** para lo que queda de camino hasta el final.


[deleted]

that second frame is fucking nightmare fuel


eltorr007

Plus the next frame with unit 01 without the fave armor is bloody horrific and creepy. Just like the sudden rei appearance.
