Upon re-watching it, I really think the anime stands on it's own, if you pretend the manga doesn't carry on beyond that point in the story. I almost always opt for the anime over the manga, but it clearly has its drawbacks.

Evangelion is a pretty unique case tbh. Those last two episodes were a screeching halt to the episodes before them, to the point that they might as well have come from two different shows, except that the characters and themes just happened to coincide. It's a ****ing trip tbh and has probably gotten the show a lot of press it might not have had otherwise. I believe that one Evangelion movie actually ended with a bunch of hate mail over those episodes.
And yeah I'm totally bummed that Berserk ended right when it should have been getting started. And those new movies and the TV show that apparently is complete ass has probably scuttled any possibility that the series could ever be presented as it should have been. I'd be curious to see how they would have handled all the blatant rape porn tbh. Plenty of scenes that were pretty horrendous no matter how much I love the manga.
