running up that hill, a deal with god - evangelion amv

[@lilinchamp]

Thank you all for your kind words!! I can only see this for its imperfections and wish I did more work on it. But I'm glad so many people have enjoyed my work. I have a few other Evangelion AMVs in the works, but university is throwing a lot at me and I had lost my passion for creating things like this. Reading all the comments have rekindled that passion and I hope to work on AMVs like this very soon.

[@GreatSageSunWukong]

I love it and you deserve more views, don't see imperfections as a wish to do it differently but as learning for making the next one even better, I look forward to seeing more of your work. thank you.

[@Whitewolf-o8h]

Imperfections? What?

[@Soundwavesuperior12]

I started watching the anime because of the memes. Whenever I see an image of Asuka telling Shinji to crank that Soulja boy

[@chocdraws]

Hello, hope you are doing well now. Im a middle school student and your AMV has helped me focus on my studies for the past weeks. I cannot express in words how well combined this amv is. Upbeat enough to vibe to, not too noisy to lose focus, and the scenes are family friendly (considering the NGE/EoE series’ content, so I can watch this at home without my parents judging). Thank you for holding on to making amvs, and wish you all the best

[@BlackRabbitKurousagi-nm7hy]

Where are the other AMV’s this I fire

[@h0wt3rr1ble]

This is the only AMV that can make me remember how I felt when I watched Evangelion for the first time

I watched this because of this comment. 🙏🏿 Arigato

[@LoganSpates]

The drums and Rei’s sacrificial explosion really has an impact!! This song works so incredibly well with Eva.

[@MaskRobloxOfficial]

i see what you did there with the word 'impact' ;)

[@Jotunn96]

Can't believe this hasn't blown up yet, this song was basically made for Evangelion and the editing is fantastic. You clearly had a very focused vision when choosing scenes to incorporate.

​@@ДаримаМункодугарова The essence of Evangelion has eluded the majority of those who have watched this anime They've failed to truly grasp its core meaning. The popularity of Evangelion is insignificant if one cannot comprehend the profound message that the creator seeks to communicate. Without that understanding, its widespread appeal means little.

This anime broke hearts

Yes but also may have fixed some :)

I love how this guy casually on a Friday morning back in summer 2022 dropped the greatest Evangelion amv edit ever made that perfectly captures the emotion you feel while watching it And it was their first ever amv

[@michaelcarnevale5620]

Just now made the connection that Asuka reaching for the AI Eva's at her death is the last thing she sees before reaching for Shinjis face when she wakes up

[@thecmoose4754]

Holy shit you're right

[@rhyswerner1748]

Does that mean she sees him as an angel? Aka a threat?

[@michaelcarnevale5620]

@@rhyswerner1748 well when she wakes up on the beach, she only reaches out to him after he chokes her for like a minute ... so i don't think the metaphor necessarily goes that far, it's a bit ambiguous and subtle ... i think it just connects her last living moments to Shinji and emphasizes how she has finally dropped her guard for him ... pre-Eclipse she reaches out to the AI Angels with the fury of war in her heart, but post-eclipse she reaches out to Shinji for the sake of finally wanting peace and accepting her part of the equation

[@GreenDbz]

did you forget about her in instrumentality?

[@michaelcarnevale5620]

I've come to re-think this .. both Shinji and the Seele Evas are attacking Asuka, and she reaches for both .. with the Evas she reaches out with courage to fight back, with Shinji she finally yields with courage to give him a moment of reprieve and honesty

[@undisclosedidentity9893]

3:46 the part of Unit 02 shutting down and falling to the floor with the Lance impaled into its head with Unit 01 activating immediately afterwards works so well

[@lilinchamp]

definitely intentional ;]

[@t65bx25]

I just gotta say, all those shots from 1:00 to around 1:30, nearly every single one of them looking upwards at different angles, (except the characters are looking down,) there's just something about it puts this entire world of Eva into a perspective I don't think I've ever quite felt before.Everyone and everything is at stake. Even the most forgettable of the Angels, any one could wipe out humanity. In a world of confusion, hurt, and loneliness, every last human is betting everything on these ununstable lab freaks operated and commanded by humans equally unstable themselves. It gets said in the show, sure, but at times it gets so character-focused that you rarely truly feel it the way that your specific collection of shots captures. It's helplessness. Comparable to looking up at 01 eating Zeruel in the show, but also an inverse. This is helplessness, sure, but with hope (or in other words, a type of trust.) You know that somewhere on that Earth, in Japan or Germany or America, there are Kensukes just for the Evas themselves. People who love and believe in a machine and person that will save you despite you never meeting either. Hope found within despair, and the irrationality of love. if that doesn't capture Eva I don't know what does.

[@STR13R]

This brought me back to the mystery of the first time I watched the oringinal. The Rebuilds don't have the same magic

[@griffiththechad9483]

This is 100% the best Evangelion AMV on KZbin. Running up that hill goes great with the aesthetics of old EVA.

[@oncinaust5178]

There are only 3 anime that ever brought me tears. This, graveyard of the fireflies, and Cyberpunk Edgerunners.

[@homelessheathcliffgaming]

yknow evangelion is the only fandom that can make AMVs without me thinking they're cringe like i can actively enjoy these its really nice

[@iloveputin7274]

Wish berserk fans could learn something

[@rhysme423]

This is indescribable how good this is. It fits so well. Like this song was made for evangelion. It holds the scenes so well

[@langustajableczna]

the song describes Yui and her actions and sacrifice so perfectly

[@selder_7]

Love love love this. The screech at 4:25 I might’ve paired with the scream as the world turns red with the green crosses bursting out, but having it play as Asuka is choked fits so well

[@sanduhr2533]

Gave me chills even after several rewatches

[@JitterEye]

I'm amazed at still finding AMVs like this. So simple, yet clearly made with intention and effort, resulting in a meaningful and unique watch, which is even more impressive considering the overuse of the source and track. There's something timeless about it. Very impressive.

[@Goober_nutz]

This gave me not only chills but also a flow of emotions i never thought id expereince from this song

[@williamsimpson2777]

This is the PERFECT song to reflect the other-wordliness of Evangelion and its existential themes. Great song choice and what an amazing AMV!

[@Underqualified_Gunman]

Definitely a top 5 for eva AMVs right along with touch, opus/bohemian rhapsody, and that custom cover of thanatos done by jenny merging aspects of if i cant be yours with thanatos part 4.

[@Underqualified_Gunman]

Oh yeah also forgot gendos paradise and a story that repeats the visual poetry of evangelion.

[@Crunchy_Troll]

[@romantisanon4647]

I love that this anime still gets AMVs

[@JordanVanRyn]

I really think this song syncs up so well in context of Evangelion's story. Even though it showed in Stranger Things, I think you nailed it as an Evangelion AMV. Amazing job!

[@gazmaskmanrealguy]

I have to say as someone who just watched the original show and EoE, this series is very philosophically impactful

[@uzytkownik15]

wow, your AMV perfectly shows how stunning the visuals in Eva are. I've seen the wholer series and movies several times but this video makes it feel like experiencing it for the first time again

[@Vsmassl]

What the? How is this not already one of the biggest evangelion AMVs? Spectacular editing! Please continue your work further more.

[@MisatoBestWoman]

From the first second of the first episode of the series I was hooked and after a long day of work I was glued to my couch the ending was incredible, when I watched the end of Evangelion a while after (last month) I was in awe these masterpieces are stuck with me Misato Katsuragi is obviously a favourite character

[@Egi-g8c]

Somehow this video got into my phone three months ago. I like Kate Bush, so i gave it a try and wow! - the music and that strange footage from some anime gave me goosebumps. Then KZbin gave me a couple of videos about Eva, and that was enough for me. I downloaded Evangelion and watched it in something of a state of obsession. The series, EoE, rebuilds, etc, then read many more info. So, thanks to this AMV, I'm now 3 months into being an Evangelion fan.

[@tacothursdays6546]

This is one of the best edits I've ever seen. It's up there with the Bohemian Rhapsody one and the God's Gift edit.
