piloting a giant robot is peak of my dreams
Love that washed out, VHS quality in the clips used.
it's been a long time since I watched (I need to rewatch). when I watched it, I was struggling with depression and self esteem issues. watching shinji made me reflect on myself. watching Eva was a wake up call on some of my less postive personality traits. very glad I watched it at the age I did.
You have no idea how much I feel this. When I first watched Eva back in April, I was actually coming out of a depression due to being overworked by school and my job. I was in a better place than before, but was feeling listless and was stressing about my place in the world and why I was stuck in the grind and not taking my life anywhere. I tended to completely isolate myself socially because I convinced myself that I was so busy that I couldn't afford to have friends, or that I couldn't be bothered to put in the effort to meet and connect with new people. Like you said, that was a negative trait I saw in Shinji, as well as my tendency to never ask for help (which I realized was Asuka). Sorry for the paragraph, but isn't it crazy how so many people can find common ground over a show?
Beautiful video. I just got done binge watching the series and the movie.
Thanks for watching! It's really quite an experience isn't it? End of Evangelion totally just blew me away
Well said, Sir...well said.
This is such an amazing video! Hope you don't mind, but i'm downloading this vid. Never has a video 100% understood me. You put so many of my feelings into words.
I'm really glad it connected with you so much. That's the whole reason I made the video!
Excellent video
Wow, this is so well made, keep it up!
Mr.David Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
I know I'm commenting on a video that's almost a year old, but excellent job!
review of your review: OH GOD SAME. i saw the show and the movies when i was about 13 and it scared me deeply how much of myself i saw in shinji. it left me scarred. i was already a traumatized teenager with both budding and long-term mental illnesses, including a pervasive panic disorder that started when i was just a kid, maybe 5 years old, maybe younger. seeing my greatest fears and the most painful parts of myself so sharply portrayed to me as my bipolar disorder was coming on was...terrifying, at first. but i returned over and over again, because it hurt in a way that, weirdly, gave me great hope. when i felt the worst, i would watch the last two episodes and the movie again and again. when shinji said he may still hate himself but there might come a time when he doesn't, when yui said after all, you are alive, so you will always have the chance to be happy, it made me cry in pain and joy and hope and...love. i'm 31 now, and i'm not even close to being okay, but there are parts of myself that i accept, tolerate, and even really love. it's hard for me to get truly close to people because i'm afraid after a ten-year relationship of abuse that tore me down to my terrified, shrinking, shaking core that so resembled shinji that i thought i'd never be okay again. but i'm getting there, because i am alive, so i will always have the chance to be happy. thank you for sharing what you did.
It's a great analysis, good video mate
Really enjoyed this a lot. I love Eva so much ❤️
So do I, thanks for watching!
So, that was fucking amazing
Well made bro, keep it up!
Thanks for taking the time to watch!
amazing
Great video, keep like this.
Carlo Alday Solis thanks for watching. I'll do my best!
Its simple guys:
Shinji: Pussy
Asuka: Toxic as hell
Rei: weirdo
Misato: Best girl
Gendou: Best father in the world
Any more questions?
Another great video, can I expect a video on your opinion of the rebuilds? Also, best girl?
Thanks Alexander! I don't have a video on the rebuilds planned, but it's definitely a possibility. If I did it would probably focus on either 2.0 or 3.0. And best girl has always been hard for me to choose, but I think I'd have to go with Misato. If we're talking about the manga I might have to go with Rei though!
Now i hate Shinji he is a Terran 5:24
Live free in the NC
Nice vid btw
Long live the nc
Эх, ничего не понятно конечно, но интересно.
Don't really understand why you call the characters "irredeemable" considering that redemption is ultimately one of the major themes of the show, and an aspect that the characters (to some extent) succeed in achieving by the series' (and film's) end.
I called them irredeemable in the context of regression that I talked about. Redemption and change are a part of the end their archs, but only brought on by third impact and human instrumentality. Without the understanding gained from the oneness of human instrumentality, for a long time until the very end it seemed like our characters wouldn't change their ways. They *were* pretty much irredeemable until the end of the show.
