Neon Genesis Evangelion 1.20

Of the Shapes of Hearts and Humans

Shinji is still inside Unit 01. They don't know how to retrieve him. He isn't dead but the exact state he is in isn't clear. Unit 01 and the others are revealed not to be a giant robots but some sort of creatures that were found in Antarctica. They have been kept in check up until now.

Shinji spends a lot of time trying to make sense of his life up to that point. He imagines Katsuragi, Asuka, and Rei individually coming to him naked. Shinji is eventually retrieved from within Unit 01. It takes a little over a month to get him out.

The episode ends with a scene in which Katsuragi and Ryoji together in bed. They are talking but then it sounds like they are starting to have sex.

Thoughts

There is so much being thrown at me in this show right now. I'm not sure how to make sense of it all. It really does feel like I need a scorecard to sort everything out. I get the impression that the story is overloaded and that some bits are just bits even though they are meant to be more important than the time allotted to them implies.
