The Evangelion Complex Presents: TOUCH | An Ode to Evangelion

WATCH REMASTERED: • The Evangelion Complex...
From death to rebirth. From deconstruction to reconstruction. From the highest highs to the lowest lows. The shattered world's best and brightest are some of the most broken and distraught of souls. All humanity has is humanity itself, and nobody can figure themselves out well enough to connect with others. In the season of its impending doomsday, the world seems distant and hopeless - but even still, within the palm of everyone's hand is an offering of the most life-affirming kind: touch.
This is Evangelion.

[@acecfa44]

After seeing 3.0+1.0, thank you. This is the perfect send off for one of the most influential pieces of media of my life.

[@SpaceSweeperCuts]

I'll be making a 'Farewell to Evangelion' video as a follow up to this (as implied by the end) that'll incorporate imagery from 3.0+1.0. I'm currently riddled with emotion and elated with how the film ended all of Evangelion 💗

[@onepiecefan74]

This is very special. The editing is very simple but your understanding of the show shines through making this video irresistible to any Eva fan

[@americanangel101010]

I feel like I'm watching "End of Evangelion" again. It's so profound that I need to re-watch this over and over again as tribute to its majesty. This is a better recap for "Evangelion" than "Death and Rebirth". It's so perfect.

[@DNTrip101]

After watching Epilogue, I’m still not ready to say goodbye to Daft Punk or Evangelion after this last movie

[@aortaplatinum]

I didn't even have much of a connection to Daft Punk and Epilogue still made me tear up EVA has helped me through so much for almost a decade now 3.0+1.0 is liable to literally kill me

[@SpaceSweeperCuts]

I'm not ready to say goodbye to them both. I've been okay with the final film being delayed repeatedly purely due to the fact that I'd never have to face the end that way.

[@reiayanami_]

It killed me...

[@ransidthesquid]

It's a true blessing that this song isn't used often in AMVs. That way, it stays reserved for Magnum Opus videos like this. I've been thinking that this song would work extraordinarily well for Violet Evergarden as well. Hopefully I do get around to doing that. Well done, sir. Well done.

[@jackmayor3574]

I'd still say this song fits Evangelion best. Violet Evergarden is a period piece, and this song has Daft Punk's futuristic charm (along with lots of string instruments/horn/choir which completely fits the Evangelion aesthetic)

[@johnflaherty6293]

Shinji Ikari, the embodiment of a confused and hormonal teen thrown into a mech drama about human connection.

[@tomemeornottomeme1864]

Those last 45 seconds were literally orgasmic. Holy shit, that cut to silence with the beach scene. "You've almost convinced me I'm real" is too perfect of a lyric for Shinji's breakdown. Then I need "I need something more," showing him in the rebuilds still griping with depression, and the final more cutting to the symbol for 3.0.+1.0... Jesus Christ this is tight editing.

[@BigWhomas]

Happy 26th birthday Evangelion and goodbye to all of Evangelion.

[@dudeman1456]

Timing the tear drops at the end with the piano keys. That's some good AMVing right there.

[@blake3502]

WOW... the ending was timed perfectly! "sweet touch, you've almost convinced me im real" just as Asuka raises her hand and touches Shinji's face, i didn't think the song was a great match at first but god does it go well with it! great job man, keep it up!

[@jackmayor3574]

perfect lyrics for that moment, and I'm guessing specifically those lyrics are what inspired this AMV

[@snakebitcat]

The juxtaposition of the words and images at that point broke me.

[@carl1982]

Since bohemian rapsody amv this is my favorite for now

[@SpaceSweeperCuts]

That is the highest compliment I can possibly receive, as that's the AMV I will forever strive toward meeting. A beautiful, multi-act, emotionally arcing epic of a video, and represents Evangelion perfectly.

[@daneoppenborn7700]

SpaceSweeperUncut this is absolutely stunning. I honestly teared up. Daft Punk and Evangelion are two of my favorite thaaangs.

[@SariaBrightshell]

I agree that this is on that level. I'm not as big a fan of the Rebuild films as I am of the original series - although I do still enjoy them - but this uses both series perfectly to tell the story of all of the franchise's ups and downs, and it's beautiful.

This song belongs in the EVA universe. This AMV is superb. The changes in the song from contemplative to happy and back reflects EVA perfectly, I feel.

[@jonathanlee7877]

I would absolutely adore to see a remake of this wonderful tribute video including content from the recent masterpiece, Eva 3.0 + 1.0!

[@SpaceSweeperCuts]

Thanks! I do want to do an HD remaster where I fix some of the technical issues and upgrade the NGE footage to blu-ray quality and make a few minor scene tweaks/rearrangements. I wouldn't include 3.0+1.0 in it just because the ending of this one sort of remains emblematic of a story without an ending, but I am going to be making a direct 'sequel' to this called 'A Farewell to Evangelion' that will have a bunch of 3.0+1.0 footage, so look forward to that! 💗

[@jonathanlee7877]

@@SpaceSweeperCuts Well I am happy to hear a sequel video is being developed that will feature 3.0+1.0 content! That is worth a subscription to your channel. Also, I particularly liked some of the scenes & panels from the manga in the touch video. I would love to see more of that. I like to think the manga, the show, and the Rebuild films are all parts of a whole, interwoven and connected to each other. So it’s great to see the manga get some representation too, as it was quite different than the anime to an extent.

[@maxw6494]

other amv's may have a few million views, but they will never have the soul this amv does. the masses cannot comprehend beyond their shallow taste.

[@FinalNero]

+max W So? Besides that it's a pretty bad AMV

[@maxw6494]

***** there are many bad amv's out there, mediocre and ok, this one is bohemian rhapsody tier.

[@maxw6494]

+FinalNero the pacing was beautifully done with a proper tone, everyone else just insists on throwing high speed action scenes into an eva amv, but they never get the feeling right.

[@JamesEDonaldson]

"Half forgotten song" at that point I felt I had heard this song before, like decades ago, I just can't remember it clearly - mind blown

[@ChristInMeA2Z]

I got into Eva in 2012, but nice comment.

[@webbrowser6454]

Love Eva so much and this song is such a fitting AMV in the way it was portrayed. Cant give enough credit to the editing. Always wanted a quality video for such a powerful yet minimalistic song depicting human emotion in abstract psyche, with the connection to person's outside one's self.

[@helloperson6431]

This really shows off the greatest aspects of eva in one videos. Great stuff here.

[@nismogo869]

This is easily one of the best amv's I've seen on youtube, and I mean that. Top 5, easily.

[@jaywheal1498]

I came here from the Evangelion Complex Tumblr as I am a huge fan of Evangelion in all of its incarnations. Also love AMV's and am a huge fan of Daft Punk, so I saw this and instantly watched it haha. Gotta say it was beautiful and I enjoyed every second; one of the best AMV's I have ever seen. Amazing work! :D

[@mangaosuman]

Ive lost track of how many times i come back to watch this amv. Its amazing, full of feeling and embodies evangelion. I have never rewatched anything as much as ive rewatched this amv...thank you for making this.

[@dodosCut]

A real Eva AMV, I'm glad someone who understands the show made it :) excellent job ^^

[@Milwaw067]

This is simply the most impressive amv I've ever seen. And I mean it ! This is a gorgeous work, full of emotions. Like we say in France : chapeau bas.

[@coldplay109]

Wow bravo, bravo -claps- you captured what Eva is in just one AMV and with excellent editing. It's not flashy, over-the-top editing, it's the correct style of editing for what you meant to convey. What got to me the most was probably the parallelisms between Rebuild and the original series, between characters themselves (i.e Misato about to push Shinji's head down vs EVA unit 01 about to grab something in the same pose). I absolutely loved your AMV, I've never seen someone use this song before in an AMV, it's actually difficult to pull off, but it fits Eva nicely. I loved the ending, with the lyrics "Touch, sweet touch, you've given me too much to feel...you've almost convinced me I'm real...", that's Shinji's character right there. He's afraid of feeling too much and in change hurting others and/or being hurt by others. You made my day.

[@SpaceSweeperCuts]

In return, your lovely words have made _my_ day. I'm so glad I could touch such an integral nerve that many fans of this series seem to share. Making this was me putting my heart on my sleeve, and not thinking about anything else aside from what this saga does to me, emotionally. The song was the compliment that I never expected, as it debuted on Random Access Memories mere months after I finished watching the series for the first time. They've been intertwined in my mind since my first listen. There will be a sequel or spiritual successor to this video once the final film comes out in all regions, ending Evangelion once and for all. It will focus primarily on finality, leaving things behind, and letting go - I've got what I feel is the perfect song, and I hope it does even a fraction of what this video seems to've done for you. Thank you again for your thoughtful, kind, and encouraging words! I'm beyond flattered.
