Evangelion - "Cruel Angel's Thesis" (FULL Opening) | ENGLISH ver | AmaLee

​@@SithlLordMayuri the original show evangelion was written episode for episode, in a similar way to how South Park is being written..... Well maybe with a bit more generous writing deadlines. The writer of the intro had seen a short preview of what the show would become. Obviously not finished at all though.

[@smirks_]

despite the obviously depressing feeling that EoE leaves you, you need to understand it's actually a happy ending. You just need to combine it with Episode 25 and 26 director cut versions of the actual anime. Shinji learns to love himself and learns more about the others who he failed to relate with. Then, he ends Instrumentality and lets everyone return to normal life if they want. Asuka finally caresses Shinji's face, showing that she's accepted him and realizes she hated herself, not him. basically.

[@charlesv.3891]

Wait, the lyrics are just an adaptation from the Japanese ones, who make no sense at all with the show. The thing is that the lyrics talk about a shining young boy who will be covered in glory and kleos. But Shinji is a passive protagonist in the global events scale. The true story whom he is protagonist is his internal struggle, which brings me to the second point: Shinji nor Asuka can't love each other, becaceuse they can't love themselves (which is talked about in the song Thanatos from the EoE), so they both end up in a pretty bad relationships, full of a "fake" hate and a unhealthy desire for each other (take the hospital scene as an example).

I've been complacent and honestly the fear of losing what I've been used to having all my life, it's holding me back massively, too. When I heard this part of the lyrics, I feel encouraged... It's gonna be a long and tough battle for my freedom, and I may fail at some point, but there's really not much else to do but try... Soon I'll be able to fly far enough that they won't be able to pull me back. Thank you so much for singing this.

You know, I've been going through a very big change in my life myself. Something I thought would tear down everything about who I am. Ironically enough, I feel more myself than ever, and I'm really not any more different. Just a little more free from all the anxiety that had always been slowing me down. It's not all gone of course, and I still have doubts, guilt, and shame from time to time. But sometimes I couldn't feel more alive, and it's getting easier day by day. And I'm the same kind and good-natured person I've always been, and love all the same things. I used to wonder if there really was such a thing as a "real you" but I think there is, and it's almost impossible to kill, no matter what you go through. Just something I thought of when you said you're afraid to lose what you've always had. Just let me tell you that no matter how much your external circumstances change, no matter how much might change in your understanding of life, that despite everything, it will always be you. Cherish that. And don't be afraid.

[@jtrader1999]

catensifier they say a song can tell you more about a person then their own heart can

[@Andrew-zy5tv]

A lot of songs have deep lyrics, I think with anime it's because most of their western audience doesn't know Japanese so we learn the shows story and character and then through vids like this we see what the words we've listened to so many times actually mean and we can see how it relates and fits with the show itself. Like re-reading a book and seeing all the foreshadowing an author put in. That's just my opinion through, it may just be because they pick good songs that relate to their show

Drelas you know this is a translation of the original right? The words are changed and rearranged so it doesn't get copyrighted.

This entire show is goes super deep.

[@StonedHunter]

justink075 While that may be true to some extent, it should also be understood that you can't directly translate Japanese to English. You have to rearrange things due to vastly different grammar. If you didn't the lyrics would make no sense. The reason for the depth is both choosing the right song, or getting a band/artist to make a song for the series which happens a lot to my understanding.

[@artur6912]

@@nbochitaa Give it a go. I wouldn't call Evangelion good, but it's so batshit insane almost everyone in the anime community hears about it at some point almost 30 years after it premiered for a reason.

[@Fytrzaczek21]

I must say that the original series up to ~20th episode was great but then it gets a bit too weird and complicated. Still I really enjoyed it, to the last 26th episode what is strange, 25 and 26 happens after "The end of Evangelion", but I watched it after the numbered seriers. And I advise you - don't watch it anyway. It does completely mess everything up for me, and you can really understand the final of the series without that movie.

[@Janken_Pro]

artur6912 wtf are you smokin? Evangelion isn't good? It's a fookin masterpiece.

[@artur6912]

@@Janken_Pro Masterpiece in how not to tell a story ? Masterpiece in how not to end a 26 episode series ? Masterpiece in how not to manage a production budget ? Masterpiece in how not to use religious symbols from a religion you don't know much about because it looks cool ? Masterpiece in how not to make a likable protagonist ? Evangelion is a dumpster fire that can't even make the plot understandable without a lot of supplementary materials (unless you knew what the angels where and why they attacked just by watching the 26 episodes and not reading a wiki). Guess some people will consider everything a masterpiece if you slap some shocking imagery, slap religious symbolism that doesn't symbol anything and sprinkle some freshman level psychology thesis. If you take a moment to analyze Eva, you realize just how shallow it is.
