If you didn't watch end of evangelion don't read. *Spoilers*

I finished watching EVA 3 days ago and I got dissapointed. I wondered what the hell was the ending when everyone stood around and started clapping. What was the significance of the last 2 episodes? On other forums a lot of people said there was a meaning to those 2. If anyone knows what exactly was going on in the last 2 episodes can someone fill me in so I could appreciate EVA even more. Also The End Of Evangelion. I saw that a day after. And wow that was the most depressing feeling I have ever been in. Ep 25 of The End Of EVA was just so crazy. The way everyone died was so intense. When I finished the movie I couldn't do any work at all. I didn't feel like it satisfied me, nor was I happy for the rest of the day. I just felt gloomy. And ep 26 made me think a lot. I don't know what was the whole deal with rei's big head on the earth chopped off her body or why Asuka "died" and came back to life. And why did shinji strangle her, 2 times? Especially at the end and Asuka was just like this is a disgusting feeling and it then after went to THE END. I was like huh? And then my whole mood of depression came into the day for 1 whole day. Can someone tell me what happend? Oh yeah one last thing when Shinji Jacked off when he ripped Asuka's clothes off in the hospital bed in ep 25 of the movie was that cause he really liked her or is it just because he's perverted or something? Ok that's everything I needed to ask thanks.;)

NGE is just on a totally different level; there's alot of symbolism and alot of underlying themes throughout the whole anime, although I'll admit I don't understand most of it myself

the basic jist of the ending is...

humanity reached the end of it's evoluationary cycle, and SEELE wanted to take it to the next level (3rd impact) by turning everybody into a sea of LCL. in the end the future of humanity was in shinji's hands. he could leave the world as it was (the sea of lcl), but instead went back to him and asuka. once again, he could've killed asuka but instead let her live to let mankind go on.

i know i'm leaving alot of stuff out but it's been a while since i've watched it ^_^
