Cashing in (artistically)

We’ve been slowly watching Neon Genesis Evangelion and as we enter the last few episodes, the director is starting to head towards the final climax after eighteen or nineteen episodes of setting up of the story as it heads into its final climax.

It has been exhilarating to watch someone cash in their chips. The audiences’ investment into the show is culminating in the end of a long journey.

I find myself becoming more meta in my enjoyment of media. Indeed, I think I will find it quite entertaining to watch the director make his final moves, whether or not the actual episodes will turn out to be any good.

PS: The ending was intense, the show was worth watching, but yeah it’s a bit bonkers. A bit all over the place and not for the kiddos.
