    babe wake up new edit of evangelion just dropped
  • @alcatrazvongola
    The act where Shinji finally becomes the Neon Genesis Evangelion!
  • @conorbrady1839
    Hey. Love the video. Love the whole series. Delighted you got sponsored. Get that bag. You deserve to be raking in some more money on this project. But please. Put all of the advertising in one, 2 minute section at the middle of the video. One little callback to the sponsored segment is fine but man the repeated intrusions of the advertising felt insulting. It really dilutes the quality of your analysis too. I know its something you will learn to incorporate better! Cant wait for the next installment!
  • @idonnow2
    i always hate mfs saying Shinji has no spine, prefering a prepackaged action hero to one who rises to the occassion despite internal conflict.
  • @IvanRSaldias
    I believe that Toji's presence on the the train is a mere stylish transition without any particular meaning. Like a chain continuing the "train" (pun intended) of thought of shinji
  • @MD0K
    [solemn voice] Shinji arrives at Kaji's melons [ad copy read enthusiastic voice] and you too can get kaji's melons at FX. Love your videos but the tonal whiplash of midroll ad reads just breaks it totally for me. Like many other creators say, regardless of what the client thinks, a very small percentage are gonna stop a video, go to another website, and much less buy. In video ads are always best at the end, for the content, for the creator and for the client. Great video!
  • @iug5672
    I think Toji's presence in the the train kinda fits with your perspective from the previous video that Toji is, by all means, dead. He exists there like a ghost, separated from the living pilot. In a different plane of existence(train cart) associated with the angels/EVAs and their pilots. Though his connection with Shinji persists, it is a very faint connection, where he only gets to watch. Unlike(though clearly similar) to the more direct manner one could connect with others inside inside the human instrumentality's collective mind.

    First of all , that thumbnail is amazing Second , K A J I S M E L O N S third , thats gotta be the best and funniest way of putting a sponsor in a vid Fourth , man that comparison with ep 1 and 19 was so cool Fifth , YES THAT SHOT OF SHINJI GRINDING ZURIELS FACE IS SO SICK sixth , purple representing power is actually rlly smart And finally seventh man your analysis on this series is so good , congratulations on 10k absolutely deserved !
  • @toddmansilver12
    your analysis is art in its own right. deeply entertaining, highly introspective and insightful, it is truly something to behold and I look forward to the next as I finish the previous.
  • @pedroamares8464
    I could not tell you the last time I looked forward to consuming any kind of media, be it a movie or a tv series. But your videos make me feel that eagerness again. The pacing, the intensity - and the silences - in your narration have more than once brought me to tears, not to mention the superb level of the edits and music, all just so very high. Thank you for doing this, and congrats on getting the sponsor.
  • @psyco-grade2270
    Great analysis as always. One detail worth mentioning is when the entry plug goes from orange to purple, the controls become obscured. This could be just an incident of the lighting, or (and far more interesting) could mean that Shinji has bonded with unit 01 to such a level that the controls of the cockpit are an unnecessary formality now.
  • @afflict9341
    Found this channel recently. Love the analysis, keep doing what you love ❤️
  • @lionheart4424
    LOVED this episode! I am so happy to see you got sponsored and man that collab of Studio Khara with FX Creations is fiyaaaa! I have the ASUS ROG X Eva SSD enclosure and it's a thing of beauty. You integrated the promo so smoothly into the video that Kaji must be proud (may he rest in piece). Thanks for keeping the quality content on, God bless.
  • @TheCoronet
    One of my favorite episodes; I was waiting for this one! An absolutely awesome episode, Both ep 19, and your analysis. I have so much more appreciation for how shows are edited now, not just Evangelion. The left vs right screen direction you mentioned from ep 1 feels like I've opened my 3rd eye. Thanks for the videos!
  • @Dougurasufilm
    I was watching you talk about Suzuhara in the dream sequence and one interpretation came to mind. I think it might be showing a goodbye of sorts. Yes Suzuhara was a pilot, but the main story, about Shinji and Rei (and Asuka and Misato) goed on without him, as he’s ignored, even in the all-important train space. And then he wakes up and Shinji has left him behind. So very specifically he’s shown his irrelevance going forward and so is the audience. Like you said last time, as far as the story’s concerned he should be dead and literally only Hikari acknowledges him.
