Tear Jerker / Mobile Fighter Evangelion

• In Episode 15, Ryo Sawamura who is possessed by Iruel breaks up with Mayumi Yamagishi in dramatic fashion when she reveals that she is a nephilim. The reaction of SpaceBattles forumer Mattman 324 sums it up[1]:
  The young girl calmly fell to her knees and wept bitterly.

  Mattman 324: nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
• The ending: NERV saves the world, but the world's discovery of Gendo Ikari many secrets means that he's been condemned and will spend the rest of his days in exile. In a more canon story, it would be Karmic justice, but the fact that he's got a serious case of Adaptational Heroism and Adaptational Comic Relief just makes it hit harder.
