Flying Horses
I loved the four first volumes (one, two, three, and zero), but this one was so-so.
Actually it's just like evangelion as a whole: lots of interesting, but an utter failure in trying (or were they trying at all?) to make some sense out of it.
That's why the End of Evangelion sucked: it had great stuff, but all of them together just didn't make sense.
I mean, ok, the story can just go crazy, and then there's no way to figure out what's happening, but AT LEAST try to give some meaning, some message, even if the message is "there is no message".
With Evangelion it's like: - ok there is a solid story... but now things go crazy and we don't care about the story after all... well maybe we care... no we don't... whatever; - ok so there is some meaning in this... hmm, forget about that, there is no meaning at all... yes there is... well the meaning is A... I don't know anymore... obviously, the meaning is B... or A... or C... whatever.
Actually, the only meaning that survives in the last stages of Evangelion (10 last episodes, End of Evangelion, and even in volume 3 and 4 of this doujin) is about destruction. Self-destruction, suicide, things won't come out right, I want to die, I don't care anymore, I don't have a reason to fight, etc. And, not so strangely, the story (bigger attacks, final attack, third impact) matches the destruction of will/meaning/characters.
