i have no time to explain it's about to happen , you know it's too late

Great content

The angels/demons internal/external connection is one I’ve either never verbalized or hadn’t thought about deeply in the wake of watching. Honestly a huge overarching philosophical narrative that deserves more discussion imo. Super sick video dude. Very creative and profound. Definitely would place it in the category of art, and that’s a great gifting. God bless you and Godspeed on further artistic endeavors

Thank you for this video. It helps makes so much more sense of this. I found the Evangelion series compelling, moving, disturbing, and heartbreaking. This video of yours made it more hopeful than I thought it could be. Although, I’ve not yet been able to watch the newer reboots. But I plan to soon.

So uh... Found this yesterday. Immediately found the playlist and i am now finishing a binge of it. Extremely interesting and well thought out breakdown of Eva. Absolutely loving this series and devestated that I have once again found an amazing series that isnt done yet. 😩 Now I wait.

Yks çalışmak yerine bunu izliyorum

Such a shitty anime. CONGRATULATIONS!

The colorful stuff you didn't want to translate mean "embarrassed" or "embarrassing" (peinlicher) and "stepmother" (stiefmutter)

Dude is gonna be the successor lol. That was something else. Edit: When all expectations who you are to others collapse (failing to be the best pilot, etc.) the form of yourself becomes unrecognizable and distorted. You don't know who you are (am I even a pilot?, etc.) That just means its up to you to rebuild yourself to the person you want to be, not who others view you as. Accepting responsibility to take care of yourself even if you don't want to, something that their estranged parents never taught them. This is my current battle.

A funny scrooge told me the anime was trash therefore it is trash.

I literally cried sooo hard when Toji died I don't know there was just something about him that made me Falk in love with his character, im not sure if I'm happy or sad that he survives in the anime because would death even be cruel compared to the way NERV treated him and the others

Anyone know the music he uses for the intros to every video? I’m hooked on it but I don’t know what it is

I really liked her character and her complexity.

I have a difficult love hate relationship with NGE, a little more hate than love to be honest. I love the show for the first half where the writing and character development is fantastic, then I hate it for how the second half (plus EoE) mercilessly shits on all the progress our characters made during the first half, not to mention the show's overall writing and animation quality began to steadily drop near the end of the show's run cuz the puget was quickly drying up. I feel the same way about the RoE movies too. The first two were great, then the last two totally sucked.

Mind whatnot??!??

Thank you.

As far as I understand Kierkegaard and to grossly summarise, despair stems from our lack of transparency. The only way of being so transparent and escape, as it were "the hell that is other" or the despair/alienation that plagues us is to resolve and enact a "leap of faith", thereby enjoying a direct relationship with God who cannot only bear but be all contradictions that burden us (think of Christ on the cross somewhat as a representation of "being a contradiction."). But apart from Abraham (fearful and trembling, if perhaps free from despair), who can be a "knight of faith" or a real Christian? Not that I'm a Christian, but a reading of Kierkegaard can only be Christian. Btw, I love your commentaries on NGE!

So one thing I didn't see mentioned is how kids who are exposed to sex and trauma at a young age can develop problems and fixations around it like Hypersexuality. Based on the scene where its implied that she knew about her fathers affair I think that scene is also implying that she had caught her father and the affair woman in the act. Leading to her difficult and complicated relationship with sex and her own sexuality. That said excellent video its been a while since I watched Eva and I was so pissed off by the end of movies god awful ending that since I finished the rebuild movies I haven't wanted to go back. This is making me want to.

Watching through again and noticed something, the initial flashes don't just say "sex" they say "tod sex" dead sex (according to google)

is this ham processed?

50 seconds on a single scene, you can easily tell this anime wouldn't fly nowadays, most teens can't hold their attention span for more than 15 seconds, they really won't know what they're missing, I admit I don't like evangelion that much and think it's overrated but it is higher quality than most modern content being launched

32:23 it's worth mentioning too that the biblical wall of jericho fell with repeated, persistent efforts of those trying to get into the city

bruh the only part of this series i wanted to experience the first time again was the cicadas and summer vibe

“The credits play out for Asuka - A somber condolence for the girl who cannot exist.” What a beautifully dark way to sum up how Asuka fades away from the show after this. You cooked so hard with this video and script! Keep up the great work.

Arael is just a personified, embodied LGAT. I wonder if Anno went to one now.

just realized that asuka's mom's last name was zeppelin if she had a son named led then he would be led zeppelin

for me (for context: i pulled an all nighter, and by the time i got to the last 2 episodes it was 4) with that said my experience of the final 2 episodes felt like such a fever dream. (Worth it)

Evangelion really is such a special show to me, they really wrote Asuka in such an amazing way

I be hones i don't know why this is in my feed now of all time, i am done with eva a long time ago. I cared a lot about eva in past but now i don't anymore, movie (3.33) killed all interest for good. No more.

Don't know why, but I actively avoided watching this for nearly a month despite it being in my watch later the whole time.

25:34 the first word is a version of embarrassing, the second means stepmother and the third is another version of embarrassing

Peinliches - things that cause shame, including the word Pain / Pein.

What are the word or words behind Asuka in the thumbnail

Asuka is the most relatable character I’ve ever seen in any anime

25:16 Oh, that is such a weird shot. EDIT: Okay, I now know this is because the original negatives were lost.

Just discovered your series a few days after this video released and sometimes I have to really thank KZbin for giving some great recommendations. I watched the first five minutes of this one before I realized I was missing a lot of what you’ve said beforehand and started from the beginning. This was incredibly insightful at every moment and convinced me I should make some time to give this show a rewatch. My first exposure to Evangelion was a review of End of Evangelion from the early 2000s that tainted my perception of the show. It was either a satirical review (that was not made obvious to someone unfamiliar with the show) or the writer only skimmed the surface of the show, complaining about the graphic violence, the lack of mecha action for being a mecha show, how nonsensical the progression of the story went, the application of crosses everywhere, and that they were just left confused by it. And without seeing the series for another few years, I would cite this review once or twice as a reason the show was bad and that I didn’t want to watch it. At that time in my life I was the Gundam fan meme of completely missing the point. I liked Wing Gundam because of the cool action and its message went sailing over my head. Luckily I did one day watch the show for myself (shortly before the Rebuild series began) and I liked it but didn’t fully “get” it at the time. Now being much older, and having consumed much more media and being a lot better versed in the film theory, craft, and how to understand what I watch, maybe I’m ready to actually glean things for myself from this show. I feel like my watch will be richer for having seen your series (up to this point) since I will already have a small repertoire of lessons and concepts to keep an eye out for and to look for other connective tissue that links to new ideas I can find laying within the show. I don’t think you’ve mentioned it in the videos themselves, so I gotta ask. Are you gonna be covering End of Evangelion and the Rebuild movies as well, or does your analysis end with the original 26 episodes?

I just watched your first 'video essay' in the eva playlist you made, youve just earned yourself a sub. Great content

I feel like this guy got a degree in phycology to recap all of this

Asuka best stfu...

Awesome episode. Asuka is my favorite character. Loved the essay. Thanks!

I've watched evangelion, but the more videos i see about it, the more i realize i remember almost nothing, maybe i was distracted while watching it, but i vividly remember sitting down and watching and really enjoying it, but i cant seem to remember what i was enjoying.

Hi bro, I liked this video and I watched your content sometimes because I liked Evangelion but now I'm going to say goodbye to watching this franchise, it's just that I feel like I failed horribly. My favorite was Asuka and since I entered the internet fandom or forums several times they expressed themselves in a bad way about her and I feel like they didn't understand her, they even attacked me for being my favorite (until now it hurts me to see them hate her). It doesn't help that his seiyu's career was not so successful, nor that many say that he is the worst character, much less that in rebuild he is practically another character, For this and other things, I failed when watching Evangelion and anime in general. This is my first time writing this here and I feel kind of stupid writing this lol but I wanted to get this out before the end of this year. If you have any advice to give me, I invite you to write normally

I found you and this channel through this video. It was incredible. I went and watched the rest of the edit of evangelion and it was a great dive into the series. I subbed and looking forward to the rest of what you have in store for us! God bless

Intro: Resonance but it has an orchestral beat drop - Dominus Maestro Cant find the exact sped up version

What about the SA? Throwing herself over adults in a sxual way, and craving sxual validation while also being emotionally distant to anyone that could sincerely care about you, is fairly common in kids that have survived SA. That theme is also repeated in the text flashes.

this might be an insane overanalysis but i would even go as far as to say that the sniffing heard during the elevator scene is asuka trying to draw attention to herself. trying to appear aloof, she doesn't want to be the first to break the silence, but at the same time, she is also desperate for attention, so she makes a sound to try and elicit any acknowledgment whatsoever from rei. source: my anxious attachment style

This video got me to finally see what this series was about. Until now I thought it was just another Mecha anime and had shelved it for a rainy day. Glad I stumbled across this in my feed, can't wait to see the finale and maaaaybe movie breakdowns?? (HHHhmmmm?). Keep up the great work!

thanks gyro 🖤
