      During one of the ending episodes (there were two or three different ones) but not the final scene in any of them

      Evangelion is one of those anime where the author starts shitting on the fans towards the end because the 15 year old males in the audience see themselves in Shinichi. Those same fans started sending him death threats when the end of the main show points out he is not a good person, and the harem that wants to sleep with him actually don’t want to sleep with him because he’s going to save the world but because they require therapy.

        It’s been a long, long time, but I don’t recall having the impression that any of the so-called harem actually desired him at all. Rei was apathetic toward everything, I don’t recall Asuka showing anything but competitiveness, disdain, and occasional grudging respect, and Misato treated him like a kid brother. And yeah everyone needed therapy!
