...Well just wait untill you read these. These are the rejected endings of End of Evangelion. While ending A) isn't to bad, ending B) is just sick.

Taken from the original scenario for 26' by Anno (6th draft)


Ending A

You already know the beginning of this one (a beach, petrified headless Evas, etc). Then, we see graves Shinji has made (it's stated by Anno it was he who made them). The names of all the main Eva characters are written on them, except for "Ayanami Rei". We then see Asuka's grave.
And Asuka's foot kicking it to the ground. (you can still see these graves in the actual ending... no names, but there is Misato's pendant nailed to one of them, and another has been kicked down)
We then see Shinji and Asuka on the beach... and you know that scene, too (but this draft demonstrates that Shinji and Asuka didn't just wake up there after Third Impact... they've been living here for some time... meaning they could be the only two humans willing to return, after all...)
When Shinji starts crying, Asuka was supposed to say something like, "Idiot. No way I'll let you kill me" ("idiot" was removed in the storyboards... and the whole line was modified, eventually).

Then, the ending music (so, there was one...) was supposed to begin, and the staff credits were to appear (Anno suggests a horizontal scrolling, like in GunBuster, I guess). We were to see Eva-01 lying on the Moon, and woman's hair showing from its broken mask (but her face remains unseen). Behind Eva-01, you could see Earth, entirely red. And the Black Moon, destroyed. The camera goes to the sun, then to the stars. Credits end. "Shûgeki" ("the end").

Ending B

It begins like the previous one, but Asuka doesn't show up in the "graves scene".
We then see Shinji lying on the beach.
His right hand is holding a white one.
"I'll never see them again."
"It's better to think of it this way."
"I'm still alive, so I'll keep on living."
He squeezes the hand harder.
Then, he sees Rei (like in the actual episode and Last A). We eventually see that there is nobody lying next to Shinji. Just a white arm without the rest of the body.
The camera then shows the full moon.
The ending credits are the same as in Last A.

boy, are those strange! I like ending A, but ending B is just depressing, showing just how screwed-up shinji must be by then. They should've used one of them, they are more conclusive. Good work finding this interesting stuff.

I think B would have been a fitting end to EoE.

They both are rather depressing... If they would've happened, dunno if I could have lived through that... I just don't know. The EoE's ending is now sad enuff

I like both of them they are very interesting and depressing, i think that the b is better i like it more becouse is more depresing and it make you think more about how shinji´s mind will be in that moment imagine that all the people he love are dead and that his holding (i think) the arm of the pearson he love more (asuka)and i also think that in that moment he imagine that asuka is at his side but it is youst a hand.
Evangelion is and will be the more depresing, interesting, awsome anime is the history.

I preferred the TV ending

The movies were just a bonus to me.

I think both of those endings were too conclusive. the whole point is that it is up to you to interpret what happened in the end. It's not set in stone that he returned to earth at all. It could have been his idea of heaven to be alone like that. The ending they had was cool but even if I had to pick I'd choose B. Eva is depressing because life doesnt always have a happy ending.I loved the Tv ending myself and thought it was the happiest possible ending they could have given it without turing it into a cheezy, sappy piece of crap. The EoE movie, at least to me was Anno's way of saying "a big old ---- yo mama goes out to all those who dissed my original ending". He poured his heart and soul into it and was bitched at for it. So he got his revenge by killing off everyone's fav characters in violent and sometimes gruesome means. Even there are some hidden messages in the film from Anno saying stuff like "I hate you all". Good old Anno!

o_O *twitch* OK and I thought that actual ending was worth a mental breakdown... um... i prefer A for obvious reasons but I dunno B makes alot of sense too... even though seeing how the movie ended I would have to say i stil think it would be Asuka's arm... I dunno I think I'm going to sit heer and be creeped out now.
