How Evangelion EVOLVES (And Keeps You Hooked)

5:32 “Shinji’s right hand as an indicator for his confidence” oh god I know where this is going…

Consistently amazing editing and story telling. And not compromising on quality over quantity. Don't over-rush yourself with part 2, these videos have all been WELL worth the wait.

It has arrived .....

Part 2? Individual episodes? Woohoo! I can’t speak for anyone else but I’d watch 2 hour episodes of this 🤷‍♂️

The power outage episode is honestly one of my favorite episodes, easily the one I enjoy revisiting the most

Episode 12 is my favorite of the series. To me, it’s a perfect example of how sublimely theatrical the staging of the show can be. The kids have to catch a literal meteor falling from heaven. The action is gorgeously and smoothly animated and breathlessly exciting. But moments of reflection, introspection, and recollection are threaded throughout, not in ways that interrupt the flow of the action, but in moments of natural, genuine solitude and quiet. To me, this is the moment when the show telegraphs its hard left emotional turn from cool sci fi shonen series to existential nightmare. You can feel the darkness creeping in at the edges. The moments of levity are more muted, and are becoming further and farther between. And all the reveals, like Misato’s, are foreshadowing something awful just around the corner. Great video, as always. And oh god, the hand symbolism…the horror (and tenderness) waiting in the wings…

Just want to say I absolutely love this series and rewatch the past videos constantly, I love these sort of deep dives. Magical stuff.

There was a tendency that lasted almost a decade in anitube, which involved creators giving up, waving their hands in defeat and saying everything that could be said about Eva already had been said. Thankfully, the new generations have taken the task those anitubers rejected in stride, be it from having more confidence in their own voices or not having been around at all for the original rounds of discussion, and I am really excited to see what else we can learn from this tale that's almost as old as myself.

this channel came out of nowhere and is already one of my favorites

I am absolutely terrified of commenting on videos, but I want to engage the algorithm and state my appreciation for this series. This is a series I'm genuinely excited to see more of, regardless of how long it takes. I'm surprised the connection between Episode 11 and the book "The Day the Earth Stood Still" wasn't mentioned as Klatuu from that book is very similar to Kaiji, but that might have just been cut for time. Anyway, great video, you got a new subscriber :)

You quickly became one of my favorite Evangelion psychological analysts channel. Please help this person grow their channel!

This was heartbreaking, Shinji is only truly happy so fleetingly...

23:49 “what happens to you is not necessarily your fault, but how you deal with it is” I have in fact quoted you good sir

Dude, that editing diagram for the Tokyo-3 Stood Still was a top tier visual.

Holy cow this was just as incredible as the first time 😭 Please keep it coming

Duuuude, i can’t believe the very first episode of an anime I ever saw was not only Evangelion but also a Ghibli collab?? Idk why that makes me so happy, it’s like the universe said “young child, anime will be so good for you, here is a mix of two of the best things.”

This analysis series needs to be canon

LESSS GOOO, NEXT PART (can’t watch rn but will when I can)

Absolutely offended that the algorithm didnt show me this installment of your eva series. great work as usual

13:06 I'm going to need elaboration here. How exactly would it be creepy for the kids, after the stress of a death battle job, to gather and chat with someone who plays music? To me it seems perfectly normal?
