>>3548032>"finding happiness separately is the best"Feel like reminding you all here never to internalize this shitty message, how you can turn true, enduring love into something not worth saving is beyond me. If someone makes you happy and you make them happy don't just fucking throw it all away based on... nothing. The only time I see this advice being appropriate is for literal abusive relationships, which makes it extra insulting since all of us damn well know that's not Kaworu and Shinji.
Ikuhara's philosophy, no matter how idealistic it may seem, has proven more real in my own experience than Anno's ultimately mixed and hypocritical message, I'll say that much.
