It's kinda felt like the show has been on autopilot for episodes 11 - 14, so I'm really glad that the show is starting to pick up the pace and get more intense. The blood curling screams from the voice actors are so intense, it really adds to the episode. The amount we learn about Shinji is incredible, it tells so much but it isn't a synopsis of his character and is open to extreme interpretation.
It's so heartwarming to see Asuka and Rei care about Shinji, and Misato crying is probably the saddest scene of the show so far. Misato is always playing the role of the nice, but demanding mother. Throughout the show, she has constantly been pointing out Shinji's traits, what makes him happy, why he's not happy, she even points out the Hedgehog Effect that she sees in him. In episode 15 she realizes she is not much different from Shinji. They are the same, and right as Misato realizes it, and right as she is finally able to form a family-like bond with him, she may lose him to the shadow of the most dangerous Angel they have ever faced.
Easily the best episode of the show so far. I really hope this isn't the shows best episode, and that it's an uphill climb from here.
10/10.
