Such a shame, though, because it really is a good story.

And it explains existentialism very well.

Oh, MAN does it. Lucco would love it for simply that reason.

He's going to watch it after he gets through with all the other anime he's watching.

I should have told him that. He would have watched it just for that line.

I like the rough translation of the title:

NOTHING IS GOOD! EVERYONE DIED A HORRIBLE DEATH AND IS NOW FORCED TO LIVE IN A RUINED WORLD!

Technically, only their AT Fields were negated, and their bodies turned to LCL. They can return to their form if they can remember it.
Wait...this ending is confusing. Is being one with everyone else, free of barriers the right way, or is separating yourself and being your own person the right way?

You choose what you believe is right. i'm of the opinion that Shinji should have just accepted it.
Also, yes they can return, but with the state the world is in, would they really want to?

Pain is a part of life. A world without any badness is boring. Sin is more fun, and it makes life more interesting. Without sad, you can never know joy. Without pain, you can never know pleasure. Life isn't all pain, but pain is there. Light cannot exist without darkness, life cannot exist without death. Individuals cannot exist together. There must be separation.

Instrumentality is what every major religion is striving for. The perfection of humanity.
You may think that this would to boringness, but I'd gather that we'd be able to get over that.

Evangelion's is different from a Judeo-Christian Heaven though, because humans are stripped of all barriers and dumped together in one giant mush. Heaven is just another place you to.
Nirvana is the closest analogue to the sea of LCL, but only just so.
the only way for eternity to NOT be boring would be to not "ascend to a higher plan of existence" but to just figure out physical immortality. Peter F. Hamilton does this beautifully in the Commonwealth Saga. We're immortal, but life goes on.
You know, Instrumentality is Communist.
