This one here. Honestly the best Angel battle in the series.
The electrical engineering preparations, the pressure from the Eva sniper rifle's shot melting away infrastructure, the slow looming threat, the squeal before Ramiel claps back, the mountainside which just fucking melts, the city getting blood-flooded.
All A tier. Prove me wrong.
God damn, I gotta watch Evangelion. I didn't know it was like this.
Watch up to the last episode, then watch End of Evangelion for the canon ending. And/or watch the rebuild movies for a condensed retelling that goes in its own direction.
Last 2 episodes you mean. I think.
Which is generally accepted to be the better? Just out of curiosity
They're both extremely excellent. The original series is a fair bit darker and more depressing, and End of Evangelion is definitely a lot more WTF than anything that happens in the rebuild movies (which isn't a bad thing necessarily). The rebuild movies,meanwhile, have much higher production values, and the fights are generally much better--most of the gifs of Ramiel you see are from the rebuild. The characters are also a lot more mentally stable--they're all still depressed and dealing with heavy shit, but it's "I'm taking my meds" depression instead of "untreated spiral" depression.
Cool. Thanks for all the information :-)
I'm kinda in a dark place mentally right now, so might check out the rebuilds.
Yeah, do NOT watch end of Evangelion if you're in a bad mental headspace. The original series ending might be better for you despite the "ran out of money and cobbled together a clip show" values, since it at least has a relatively upbeat tone. EoE starts with "all the main characters are comatose or going through a mental breakdown" and it gets worse from there.
