Mind expanding? Evangelion? I watched that series just because so many people talk about how deep it is, but it rang as shallow as any emo teen story I've ever seen. "My father hates me. I'm fighting in a giant robot but nobody loves me.". Ugh, the whole thing just rang stupid to me. And the end was just a pathetic philosophy student dropout thing. Wow, how incredibly deep. He figured out that the universe operates by specific laws and that it's enough to actually be able to enjoy life. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT, IDIOT. Also the severe pushing of some odd philosophy that the world is entirely determined by your own mind, which is odd because I must be pretty messed up if this is the world I created. More accurate to say our view of the world is only via our sensory input of it.
End of Evangelion redoes the ending into something ... seemingly different but supposedly hinted at in the series ending too... but if you don't get anime, I don't know if it's possible to say why it's great... it is, though. :)
