Basically it loses control and starts marching toward a city while melting down, and Shinji and Misato team up to stop it, before the reveal that the whole operation was funded by NERV who I guess are still real reliant on that government dollar. I guess we’re introduced to the other two EVA pilots, but then there’s this one episode about a rival agency trying to build its own big mechs: nuclear, without dedicated pilots, or the weird, squishy organic elements that lie under the armour of our hero’s. These next four don’t really form such a neat cohesive little narrative arc. I guess I basically decided to cover these episodes in blocks of four because I got to the end of the fourth and decided it was such an amazing piece of filmmaking that I had to write about it, and also despite the total episodic nature of each episode’s narrative, the four of them seemed to form a cohesive whole as we first explored this world through Shinji’s eyes, and then used the elements of the world to turn a lens back on him, as we sense the pain that he’s in and watch as he finds a place that doesn’t compel him to stay, but becomes a place which wants him there.
