Neon Genesis Evangelion, Band 14: Aufbruch

The visuals often seem so layered and expressive — I wonder if Sadamoto intentionally used specific styles to mirror the characters' inner struggles.

The story seems more contemplative here, but I’m curious if others think this was a deliberate choice to deepen the philosophical questions.

The introspective moments felt really impactful, and I’d love to know what led to emphasizing these themes at this point in the series.
