Ive never heard someone explain this anime so well. So often when people try talking about this show the make it sound even more confusing. That's an achievement
right?? i remember when i first got into eva i watched evangelion timelines and all of them just confused me more
the way other mfs explain it reminds me of charlie in it’s always sunny
I agree
agreed, its really hard to understand it, and it doesn't help that the Netflix subtitles aren't the ones with the updated English voiceovers haha
Yes! So many get fixated on the minor intricacies of the lore and miss the main point
"the only way to beat it is a choreographed dance sequence"
"go watch Evangelion, it's peak fiction"
The peak in question:
It’s honestly hilarious how it somehow goes from that, to the most depressing show you’ve seen
Mommy and daddy issues: the mecha anime
lol
but not mecha because for some reason they are weird flesh beings lol
@standard-anime-girljpeg6479 so body-horror.
It's just like titans from attack on Titan but looks like robots @@standard-anime-girljpeg6479
Shinji isn't riding a train to the last stop, he's on the Yamanote line which is a continuous loop, unending.
you got me there I didn't catch which line it was, that suits the psychological depiction more
I never knew that, god damn that adds so much more to the scene
@@DoctorNuriel god why why does this anime leave such a dark scar on my mind i will never be able to get it out of y head 10 years ago i watched this as a kid man now and even then it makes me question everything the trauma it indirectly put on my child self still is there a scar which idk i will ever be able to move on from
Why is it a continuous loop?
@@novustalks7525 god knows brother god know its symbolic to his life like he is in closed himself in a cocoon that keeps on looping as all he wants is recognition
Ive seen like 5 memes from this show and now im watching this, did not expect "existential crisis the anime"
a speedrun to an existential crisis
There are a bunch of errors and more mispronounciations than i can count but its not a bad surface level review if you are willing to go back and relearn the mistakes like JetAlone not being even close to an Eva

@@ripsterhipster5948 Dang you're so cool. So, please, tell me... When will you be uploading your interpretations of art in a vulnerable form such as this? It's awful convenient for you to mock a creator when you yourself have done nothing of value. I can only hope that when you become an adult, you stop trying to be such an edgy shell of a human.
I think one thing that made the series so loved is the fact that even if you can’t understand the series completely there’s something deep in everyone that makes people understand it one way or another.
Ye indeed. I doubt I can never understand the series fully because I never (luckily) had to go through these issues that the series characters have or what the show's creator had. I bet ppl who went to such deep end in their lives/heads can maybe relate to the series and its characters lot more but even so its very thought provoking anime for anyone to watch. Even to someone like me who doesnt really care that much about anime in general.
I just wish someone had told me that watch End of Evangelion first before watching last two episodes but on the other hand it was kind of interesting to went through that "what the hell" experience 😂
Kawaru is the single best written plot point and character In any show. He’s in the show for barely an episode but creates one of the most lasting impacts. He hits emotional and pushes the show forward perfectly.
Honestly, I was both astonished and impressed by how they made a character go from “The new pilot of Unit 05” to “Shinji’s boyfriend” to “Plot Twist Enemy” in the span of 1 episode.
An absolute roller coaster of events lmao
@@johnnysalery7383 absolutely insane I’ve never seen a show create such an emotionally impactful character in such a short amount of time
I meeeeean..He can be all three!@@johnnysalery7383
@@johnnysalery7383 He is not "Shinji's boyfriend" wtf are you on about lmao
@@hrothgarnogarnot even Anno would deny how gay Kaworu is
Eva's theme is universal: loneliness, depression, self and awareness. It is also a lesson we can take away to be a better person once we are aware if we are struggling with these issues.
You over thinking. It just anime.
@@INFERNO95 Perhaps you are too young to know the meaning of the term 'expression'
@@TheDarkHarper its just anime its cool at all but its just anime to entertain type shit
Everyone just projects. That wasn’t the theme for me
@@winchesterkidIt has so many themes to be honest. Sometimes we just don't notice and depends on the viewer
I thought it was interesting you saw the mass produced evas as doves, to me they were infinitely more similar to vultures, with how they circle above and only truly come in for the kill once their opponent is down.
I agree that they act like vultures, I felt the introduction of them jumping out the plan gave them a dove, savior like look, but they quickly become vultures, circling their prey, picking them apart.
They always looked like moths to me
@@socksensei ye... asuka was done dirty.
vultures ain't white
Also *that* one scene with eva 02 and the M.P.E (Mass Produced Evas)
"Trying to still get used to Asuka's personality."
You mean how socially hostile she is?
This is the definitive Evangelion analysis video I've been searching for for decades on CZcams. You are the only one that has actually made my all-time favorite anime make sense to me. I always knew Evangelion was brilliant, but never knew how to explain it even after watching it for the millionth time.
I understood Shinji and other characters and the philosophy of this series, but never understood the minute details of why certain things happened and its oftentimes complex lore. It's like I've known about all this deep down, but you somehow brought it to consciousness without breaking a sweat.
"Congratulations!" 👏
it's a recap
@@AugustCrossroadsa recap with explanations? That's why it's called "making sense of Evangelion"
without taking away anything from this phenomenal video, i just want to say that you do not need to understand all of the connections and storylines to appreiciate evangelion. The series takes its own lore very lightly and is more interested in building a bizarre campy world with depressing undertones where people value things very different from us. at no point do any character / story-arc seems to be written in order to relate with the viewer or even to give us the conventional satisfaction of storytelling of premise, conflict, resolution
1:10:49 "to be human, is to fail, to be terrible, to learn from your mistakes and shortcomings, to self improve"
My favorite quote from this video.
Loved it alot
I fundamentally disagree with the conclusions drawn by both the anime and the guy explaining the anime. There are things in life that are far far worse than loneliness. There are emotions there are things that can happen to you that break you so completely that literally cause you to suffer for every single second you are still alive. Whether that's physically or emotionally. There is suffering that is so strong. Suffering that goes so bone deep. That the strongest happiness life could bring, does not even begin to make the suffering worth going through. Thankfully most people don't have to go through that type of suffering.
But many do. And that's what always frustrates me about these types of media where some government or entity gets rid of emotion to stop suffering and the "hero" brings emotions back because happiness and love feel good too. Like no sorry. There can be no happiness for someone suffering in the beginning stages of dementia or Alzheimer's. Where you're trapped in a healthy body as your mind betrays you and you forget who you are and who you were and everyone you've ever loved. You look in the mirror and see someone you don't recognize. You genuinely see a stranger. You wander out of your house for hours searching. Lost in the city you've lived in all your life. Trapped.
You know what the cartel do in mexico? They stuff and tie someone in a bunch of rubber tires and then set the tires on fire. Because it kills them slowly. It can take days for the person to burn to death. Because it's the tar that slowly eating through their skin. It's agonizing. It's a pain you can't imagine. It's a pain no one can imagine unless they've gone through it. And there's no way you can tell me that the fleeting happiness of the world makes pain like that worth it. Because that's just a lie.
If the worst thing humanity ever had to go through was loneliness or sadness or grief I could see your point. But those emotions are shallow and nothing compared to the real thing. True despair and true hopelessness and true pain. There's nothing worse than the certainty that the pain will never get better. And that's a lot of people's reality right now. The morals of this show are f****** dumb. And wrong. Sure it may resonate with all of the privileged people who never had to experience real suffering. And I hope those people never do. I hope they only ever experienced the mundane sadness that comes with being a human. Right now someone is torturing a baby to death so I mean are you really going to tell me that, the baby's suffering is worth it so the rest of humanity can experience happiness LMAO no it isn't.
@@WhitneyDahlinbro missed the point 💀
@@WhitneyDahlin I understand what you mean, but those things don't happen to everyone. the feelings shown here are able to happen to anyone, and because of others, or not having others, they occur. Those things are some of the worst possible feelings, but the meaning of both this explanation and show are that true loneliness is the worst emotion, and if it doesn't get better, it makes every human experience just another dreadful day to live. I agree, that depression and loneliness aren't the worst things that can happen, but they rip away humanity from those who undergo those emotions. (Sorry if I repeated things lol)
@@SteveBufz
So! The universe is cruel & unfair. There so much pressure.
What are you going to do about it?
Are you going commit suicide from that pause?
The choice is yours, but fact is you have that free will to choose. No one can and/or should do it for you. You have to decide. Hell, you have luxury to pick your own death unlike the victims such as patients with terminal illness, war factions, extreme zones, etc.
@@SteveBufz
You want to be left alone, then why do you respond back. That contradicts your objective.
Editing skills? Check. Clear, understandable, and engaging storytelling? Check. Deep and meaningful message? Check. You did great on this
Shinji? Little bitch. Seriously though I'm with you. Great video. I'm finally able to fully understand things. I knew a good bit but not enough
The only issue is that this person has no idea how to pronounce any of the words in the show
@@aarocka11 its not that big of a deal
@@aarocka11eeva
@@aarocka11 there are other languages in the world and ppl who use them. For example "eve" has different pronunciation and even different spelling in other cultures including mine so I think its kinda pathetic to be grumpy over that in a global social communication and media platform such as youtube. As long as u get what he tries to say thats all it matters.
the world doesnt revolve around u but u have to revolve around the world u live in and explore to understand things as well as adapt to the differences & change
Do NOT let Shinji near any hospital
That only happens if he's into a specific girl.
I think the best way I could describe Evangelion's storyline.. and more or less Shinji's story is one of self growth and how depression stunts that growth. We see how Shinji does grow, but his depression keeps him from making any particular progress. He makes friends, he builds bonds, he sees pain and loss, he experiences rejection both from his father and his first love. He tries to come to understand what growing up means, where sexuality comes in and how that bond ignites. This entire tale is how one can make mistakes, be hurt, and needs to move forward despite all the pain.
Shinji believes placating and helping other people. Following orders is far better than just being left to his own devices. But he doesn't realize that his blind obedience only orchestrates his downfall and digs a further pit into his soul. He fails to see he's not the only one in the world who is lonely, who is hurting, who desperately wants someone else to care for them. He is so consumed in his pain of self loathing and the pain of rejection; he fails to see the love offered by others. Only experiencing tastes of it from the angel of free will who gave him a bit of answers to his problems.
The video was spot on, but just a small correction, all of the evas are based on Adam, except 01 which is created from the lower half of Lilith, hence why Lilith's body is missing both legs
Wow. I never made the connection with Liliths legs missing! Crazy I'm still learning details like this about this show.
Everything that came before hand: I sleep.
58:57
HE WHAT?!
ha came before hand
Literally same like WTF 😅
Asuka fell asleep first at the sleepover
Everyone that came into hand: Shinji

Leaving comment for algoritm, you deserves it this low views should not be allowed
you're a real one
@@socksenseiive seen many analysis videos about evangelion
But never seemed to get the story explained as completely as you do
One of the few animes i like, for sure the only one i watch once a year
And this year, i'll be able to fully understand it, thanks to you
Cheers🍻
As someone who has watched Evangelion but failed to understand the story it was trying to tell, only being able to capture the bare minimum, this has been very eye opening, at the very least I can say that this show has been something that changed my mentality.
in what way did your mentality change?
Me who just wanted to watch robots fight monsters: "HUH?!?"
This video motivated me to rewatch all of Evangelion, truly a masterpiece unlike anything else.
shitiest anime oat
Feel like some manga are definitely better
@@DOROHEDOROFAN666 I never read it, only watched the anime
@@DOROHEDOROFAN666 any recommendations?
Makes me not wanna ever touch the anime for fear that imma become a broken man sitting in my dorm room in the fetal possession on my beam bag for the rest of the semester.
This deserves more praise you went really in depth and explained everything really well that I can't wait for your explanation on the rebuild movies
will be coming soon :)
Same. As someone who finds evangelion to be confusing af, this finally cleared some things up for me.
Wow, what a stunning recap. This is award worthy work. This is the kind of thing you can only make through passion. No amount of commisions or money gets this video made with anywhere near the same feeling. Please keep making passionate work in any way that speaks to you!
Btw for everyone searching. The choir song used in the vid during Leliel is Forgotten Dawn - Miserere Mei ambient mix.
Please make the second part to this!!! I had so much fun revisiting evangelion with this and a recap and analysis on the rebuilds would be awesome!!!!
Came here to say this. I was so engrossed in this and then looked at the playtime and realised it wasn’t going to go into the rebuild era of the timeline. I hope they plan on a part two as I would watch the hell out of it.
I second this
pls i need it
This is easily the best Evangelion video Ive seen
ong this a fucking masterpiece
Also one of the best series dissections period
there are way way better video essays you just have to look
It not different from other Eva videos that been made by the years.
@@Shoegaze-none on your channel, thats definitely for sure. Maybe comment when you have a couple under your belt, alright kiddo?
Felt like I had a solid grasp on this anime through the countless viewings of the anime and analysis video's similar to this one. Yet, I never gave much thought about where the angels came from or why they do what they do. So not only did I learn something new about this series, I had a blast watching the whole video. Have a like and subscribe, well deserved!
“To be human, is to be alone”. I say to myself, crying as I realize that I have become lonely by my own fault
I fucking love you, man.
You made me cry with the ending.
I love you.
And just in case anyone needs it, you are wanted, you are needed, and people love you, regardless of what you think of yourself.
Try finding joy in life, try seeing life in a different perspective. You'll be stunned by how strong you are, even stronger than you think.
chill bruh
Thank you
Thanks, that’s awesome
Thank you
Thank you
This video not only helped me to understand Eva + End of Eva more cohesively, but in doing so sparked something in me that i hadnt felt since originally watching them. As someone that constantly battles with similar problems as Shinji, even into my 20s, I sometimes lose sight of the message - that all of this is worth it. Life is worth it, not intrinsically but due to the opportunities it presents. Locking yourself off from life because it hurts ignores all of the good that can come with it, if you so choose to put effort toward it. Thank you for this video, you've earned a sub. ,✌️
Ngl Your comment really resonates with me
Well said
I like the phrase “Don’t Lose Sight” to remind me that life is worth living and that good things will come
"Life is worth it" okay so its fanbase is existential manchildren? so deep...
@@tjr930 one day in your life you will look at this comment you made and you will regret it heh
I've been trying to understand this anime for years. After watching your video, not only do I finally have some clarity about the story but it made me love the anime even more. Loved the video, I can't wait to see more of them.
Amazing Job. Thank you for your dedication and time making this video
I cant believe how deep this show is and how Shiniji still chose to deal with the pain he suffered even after all that happened and how the story is built theres no words to describe how much i loved the story and how hard it was for Shinji and all of these characters dealing with depression I’ve watched this like 3 times allready😅
The shock on Ritsukos face when her mother over rules her self destruction code was heart wrenching.
Honestly, one of my only gripes with the ‘new’ movies was the omission of the creation of the Magi and the various hacking attempts. I thought the whole premise was very well thought out
Like seriously, imagine you and your mom both get manipulated and used by the same guy, your mother literally ending it all because of the same man’s creation saying what he said, and yet still being betrayed by her. It sucks man. Especially since her brain is what’s powering the machine as well
Thank you for this great video! This was a critical video for my understanding of Evangelion. The philosophy being laid out like this was like a light going off in my head. I’ve never enjoyed the show myself, but have always appreciated the world building and existential philosophy it brought. Good job!
Just finished the series today and this really helped to wrap up the loose ends I still had. Probably one of the best vids of watched on YT.
This got recommended to me out of nowhere and I must admit, I am happy with the discovery of this video and you as a content creator. Amount of effort put in this video is worthy much bigger numbers in terms of views and subscribers! Keep up the good work, it will pay off sooner or later ✅
I appreciate it!
Same, the algorithm did good for once!
46:58 i always assumed Misato was the off-screen character who killed him on NERV's orders and that her listening to the voicemail is just her grieving.
I think the reading is a little off. I assume it's just a random suited goon that we often see in the background (government or Seele) or if you want to say it was a named character it could have been Fuyutsuki but there isn't much to go off since he came to the rescue of Fuyutsuki earlier. During imitate scene between Misato and Kaji he states he has "one last gift for her", this could just be info or that she is no pregnant with his child (given some context because of the rebuilds), this was the last time she saw him and eludes to the fact he knew what was about to happen. We are also shown her getting picked up and taken to the lock up and given her gun back and told they don't know where Kaji is - it is implied at this point they took her to either use her a leverage against him or to stop her getting involved. She probably knows what is happening but can't keep it together any longer after she listens to his message. The theory that Misato killed him was also shot down by Anno himself during an old interview
That just stupid.
same here!
I doubt NERV could trust Misato with killing Kaji
this was beautiful, thank you for the in depth video on one of the most impactful shows ever. I shed a few tears reliving it through your storytelling.
This beautifuly constructed and illustrated thank you
This may be the best video of Evangelion I’ve ever seen
Indeed
This video deserves 10x the attention it currently has. What a fantastically edited viewing experience and beautifully written script. I look forward to more videos from you!
This is THE best Evangelion explanation. Hands down, PERIOD. Thank you so much!! I’ve been trying to fully understand this anime for so long but no one has ever successfully explained it like you have! You’ve made it so simple to understand and I think that’s quite a feat. You’re a no-nonsense genius. I subscribed.☺️
Thank you for this amazing work done!
I was going through so much in my life at the time I fist watched this series, probably about 10 years ago. I knew a related to a lot of of it but your video really broke it down and made me realize I needed a show like this at that time. Please make a part 2.
Same here but for me it was 5 years ago
GOOD, what Is your favorite character and ship
@@thaspectralhuntergg3887 lmao off yourself 😂
Everytime you say SEAL instead of SEELE I have to think about cute marine mammals and black singer songwriters lol
Also, May-Guy instead of Magi
subbed, that was really good! cant wait to binge your channel.
I’ve seen many videos trying to explain this show, but I have to give you the award for the most clarifying explanation out of all of them. Good job man!
As an evangelion fan of the last 20 years, I deeply approve pf this video essay. It is by far the best and most eloquently produced summarization of the events of the series. I know this took ALOT of work to put together. Cheers to you.
53:48 - 55:00
That part of the story explains so purely, why we as humans till this day, cant perfectly understand the complexity of emotions.
It hits so hard ;((
jordan peterson ass comment
Thanks. This is a really great summary, and mostly matches what I've taken away from the series in a few times watching over the last ~20 years.
Absolutely amazing! This is the single best explanation I've seen of this masterpiece, you killed it
After watching NGE and End of Evangelion i came out not understanding some things. This video gave me what i was missing. Thank you Sock Sensei for this beautiful video. And please do continue your work on Evangelion. I wanna know everything there is to know about it, it's such an intriguing and meaningful story.
The way you are able to make an anime that many have confusion about and it’s meaning seem so simple and understandable
Great video, I remember watching the series in way back in highschool, about the time the first movie came out. Loved it, but still didn't really know what the heck was going on past the obvious. This video put so much into perspective, wonderfully done!
I have watched all versions of Evangelion more times than I'd like to admit and I still learned some new lore facts I didn't pick up. Thank you for the great video.
This is exactly what I was hoping to find when I searched for it. Thank you
Glad to help
This show is so much better than I remember. Thank you for this entire video. Very moving and well put together
This anime helped me figure out my relationship with my father more than any amount of therapy. My father and I are two extremes of human nature : he fears loneliness so much he doesn't mind sinking in a spiral of miscommunication, manipulation and betrayal, as long as he's not alone. Me, I fear the pain of opening to others, letting them in and making myself vulnerable to being betrayed and hurt. So I shut everyone out, reject love and relationships, and I accepted the pain of loneliness because it's the lesser evil as far as I'm concerned.
I never really understood evangelian till now. I knew it was depressing; once I finished it, being left to feel its emotions, rationalize the ending and reconcile its views on existentialism with my own. But damn. You’ve brought this animes brilliance to a whole new light for me. Thank you.
After watching this in its entirety, i’ve gotta say this was as good if not better than most popular channels in terms of production quality, pacing, story telling, editing, and all that other good stuff. I was super surprised to see that you had less than 10k subs. Great job man, keep it up and you’ll be big someday
On Dec 28, 2023 (a month after your post): 25.7K subscribers. Not so bad, not so bad...
Holy Shit.... this is literally the first time i understand evangelion and it's so amazing. I'm sorta speechless and in awed of the scope of both your project and the story itself. Also reliving the visceral feelings of watching nge's brutality but with much more clarity of their significance makes them so much better. What an amazing piece of media, cryptic and touching the human experience so deeply!
He makes it sound soo much gayer than what it really is. Its all about a boy finding his nuts. A "coming of age" film, if you will.
great video my guy, one of the best on youtubes thank you sir
Wow just realisted why I love this show again, thanks for the great video
As a Christian, I gotta say that their use of Biblical concepts is very interesting and makes me happy
For real! And it isn't in an offensive way to us. And it also isn't preachy. This is really how religious symbolism in fiction should be like
I know Anno and his staff weren't christian, but I believe they were able to reach down into the human condition, namely the Total Depravity (Tulip) of man via Shinji, and depict something that was a mirror into the heart of God's creation.
@@yagopone7404 I think that's why he used christianity as its baseline or metaphor. The Bible is poetic and it fit Anno's poeticism
The creators actually spoke about all the Christian symbolism. They thought it looked cool lol. Their own words- none of them are Christian and there was no deeper meaning, they literally just thought the imagery looked cool 😂
I don’t think you understand Christian theology very well if you think this story has anything remotely to do with Christianity.
Breathtaking synopsis. I've never seen the show because of how insane it all seems. But although it's still complex, you made it digestible. I think I have a series to see now. Thanks
This work is epic! Congratulations and thank u!
Incredible video. Huge respect for all the work you put into it. You have well and truly earned a subscriber.
This is such an intense story and genuinely I don’t think I could stay sane while watching it on my own, thank you for making this video, I’m so glad I could in some way experience this story
Same
I REALLY don't comment much but yooooooo. Your editing, vocal delivery, and script-writing are TRULY phenomenal. As someone who hasn't actually watched the whole show through since I first saw it in 2003 but who has never forgotten the way it made me feel, you managed to both remind me as an adult of why I need to revisit this show ASAP and also make me feel the same horror and immense depth of emotion that I first experienced in my childhood home's basement all those years ago. It's rare for a narrator to capture the vibe, story, and theme of a project so well it both supplements and adds to the experience of watching it yourself. Truly a masterclass in delivering a video essay and I'm so excited for the next one.
I can thank you enough for this. I needed this.
I’ve watched and rewatched Eva over the past 20 years now, every time I do i find something new or perceive it differently as I age and gain new perspectives and experiences, it’s a very complex watch and this video was masterful in your explanation of it, i even learned something new from your video. Bravo
I just finished the movie two hours ago, I was so confused I hopped onto CZcams for an explanation. I felt like I understood the message of the series, but not fully. Your video really helped me to piece things together. This is a fantastic video, great work.
For now I found only two videos that actually explain the story
This video and a video made by Evangelion Analysis Project
Edit: Also thanks for the video
This video is a great way of explaining to new fans the story of the original Evangelion series
thank you!
i love pieces of media like evangelion because of how much thinking they make you do and the depth and complexity of the story and characters. it’s truly unique. great job explaining/analyzing !!
Thank you so much for this! The story is so much to take in and always felt flat for me because it was just too much for me, but you've helped me make a lot more sense of it, and while this is still maybe scratching the surface, you covered a lot of good ground.
Please cover Rebuild! Can't wait for that video!
Thank you for this amazing review/explanation video. About 2 years ago was when I watched Evangelion for the first time and I remember crying at the end of the final episode because Shinji reminded me so much of myself and I was so happy to see him find happiness. I still struggle with having an insane fear of rejection and intimacy with others, even those in my household. But seeing this reminded me why I was so touched by this series in the first place, why I do what I do. Thank you.
***Please do a similar video on the Rebuild movies, it would be awesome if you do 🙏🏽
Shinji nutted soo hard bro. I can relate too
Phenomenal editing and pacing, had me hooked through with the straight to point and smooth narration. Beautiful video
Incredible analysis. Great stuff.
This is the greatest Evangelion explanation video I’ve ever sat thru. Even after finishing the manga and every episode/movie there were still so many new things to learn from this.
I have never watched the series, but got intrigued when I had your vid on my timeline. I applaud your way with words and your story telling capabilities. You made a very special video here. Thanks for your time and effort!
Really fantastic video, I have watched (and will continue to watch) nearly every NGE video essay on CZcams. This is one of the best out of countless others I've seen. You do a really great job of explaining and walking the viewer through what happened in a very succinct and articulate manner without over focusing or spending too long on deep diving into the sorts of intangibles that are easy to get lost on. There are things in this video that give me a better understanding of the series even after listening to so many of these and being in love with the series for so long.
Also, great choices of music. It's not the actual Evangelion stuff that will get the video muted, but it isn't so far from it that it's detracting or not a pleasure to listen to. Nice job!
One of the best videos ive seen. 32:44 when the stomps synch with the title shake was an insane touch !!!
This video analyzing evangelion is really helping me understand what’s happening in my life. This video and the rebuild video is really helping me through a sort of tough time. I thank you for helping me understand this show and myself.
Now, this is Dante's Inferno and Purgatory level of story! Complex yet beautiful.
This is really the best breakdown I’ve ever watched. Thank you.
Brilliant summary. Class act over here 🔥
You put this series into the best possible format for me to understand. It feels very well put together and philosophical, but broken down for the viewer to understand and empathize with. Thank you for the video. Earned a sub from me for sure.
evangelion is one of my favs and i loved this explaination. got to know many things that i didn't knew from the lore , especially the beginning. subscribed !!. This was the best video i could have found , saved it. This video was an experience
This video really opened my eyes to the series and what it is truly about; Its a brilliant series that is brilliantly explained in this video
This is the best explanation I've ever seen for the series. I was actually able to follow it so well and there's bookmarks? So organized!
I grew up reading the manga which was my first manga I ever read, later I watched the series and movies and these videos explains it all so well and beautifully ❤ well done!
Absolutely outstanding! I was going to watch the series again and I am so lucky to have come across this first as it filled in many things I had questions on. Both the exposition, pacing and the editing are excellent. It's one of the finest things I have seen on CZcams in a long time. Not only does it show a phenomenal understanding of the source material but it also serves as an example of how, and why this anime is held in such high esteem by so many. Truly Exceptional. ❤
that was the first time I really grasp the whole thing thanks to your explanation. although just one tiny thing, sometimes you drop massive concepts in a really fast pace, it's not always easy to follow without back tracking a few times. but overall it's the best eva video I've ever seen. looking forward for the movies video!
Thank you for this, understanding this story has only made it more enjoyable for me. Thanks again, truly.
Dude your analysis skills are so amazing and the editing is awesome. Very easy to see how hard you worked on it!
Thank you!
