Why I PANICKED When My New Posters Arrived
This is my favorite Eva episode so far, thanks for such an amazing video <33
Dude PLEASSSEE DO EOE WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH NGE PLEEAASSEEE.
There's an old saying in film making "When the monster dies you roll credits". The moment Rei got her head snipped off the story was over and they should have moved on, there was no point in telling any story past that because there was on relevant story to say. Rehashing the ending so you can fit in a few more years of filler content has never improved a story, ever.
I completely agree with the age-old "roll the credits" mentality, and the notion that rehashing for filler content never satisfies, but I'll admit I'm somewhat confused about this being brought up here. Do you mean Episode 21' should have concluded after Naoko's murder, or that Episode 21' should've been the final episode in the series?
can you explain the entirety of Angels Egg(1985)
I would have to give it a watch first and see if it's something I could dig into, but I'll certainly look into it!
Yep,Lance of Longinus sounds much better. Fantastic deep dive, the extra length is greatly appreciated.
Absolutely! Thank you so much for your feedback and support; I'm glad you enjoyed!
I hate that she is a relatable character. Great job on the video
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
One thing that stood out to me is how her father having sex is the only form of physical affection or emotional intimacy we see in the entirety of her childhood flashbacks, every single shot has her essentially standing alone even when surrounded by people. To me that makes her obsession with having sex and being an adult actually just her trying to recieve the only form of affection and closeness she knows of
I completely agree. The impact of her father's affair on her worldview can't be overstated.
seems like asuka has medusa complex
Not a diagnosis I've heard applied to her before, but I think you might be right on that.
Promise not to kill children. Burden of piloting. Rei i and ii Arael
Yeah there's something to be said about what Anno put the characters through.
Seriously, my heart sunk a couple times. I adore your work.
That really means the world. Thank you so much for your incredible support and encouragement!
This is SO good So SO good
Aww thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed!
God, i hate how shinji is so violated and used in the previous episode, being purposely kept in the dark about toji and then forced to fight with the dummy plug, and then not a single person in his life apologizes or acknowledged their wrong doing and just gets upset when he wants to quite, the fact that the narrative is framing it as him running away from his responsibilities rather than his trust being exploited and broken and not wanting to let that happen again by leaving is so so frustrating holy shit
Its too bad they didnt go with toji metaphorically dying, he's alive but will never be the same person he was both physically and mentally, even just a short scene of someone trying to interact with him but he doesnt respond in the same way he would before would be enough i feel
All I’m saying is Zero Two > Asuka when we are talking about mech riding girls.
Oh brother I'm right there with you.
Asuka’s a bitch. I don’t care what happened to her
17:37 There's something interesting about this shot.It'll read differently depending on your culture, most likely. Let me ask.Do you think the kids wine up correctly with their evas? If you read it left to right like most Westerners, you'd likely say: No If you read it right to left life in japanese, you'd likely say: Yes. What that could mean depending on reading im not sure
This was too good.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed!
I will never understand Asuka. She was given EVERYTHING She had All the help anyone ever could GIVE. But She hates SO MUCH that she would rather DIE before turning to help. Hell She willingly will drag EVERYONE DOWN WITH HER. so no I will not feel sorry for this MONSTER that refuses EVERYTHING She will NEVER improve and Will always be HATE ITSELF.
Why call Gaghiel Greg? Are you afraid we'll infer that you wanna gag on asukas heels?
the first ad was a bit annoying, and poorly placed, but i figured it was ok since you were getting paid for it. by the second one, my opinion of the quality of the video series as a whole was negatively impacted. you are making videos about editing and scene placement. it's what you're getting paid to talk about. you should know better.
I am no master of my craft, nor do I claim to be. I am, in fact, just a little dude on the Internet, doing all of this for the first time. While I can't say I won't take more creative risks in the future, I can promise to do my best to improve on their tastefulness and integration. Thank you so much for your feedback.
@@timberw0lfstudios ya, i didn't notice that it seems like everyone else gave the same feedback. sorry if it sounds repetitive. also, i have to say, your response to feedback is reassuring. thank you for putting in the effort to communicate with your audience like this, and i agree, please don't stop experimenting. as i said, i initially thought the ad was fine since you were getting paid, and it seems you have a good grasp on what you can do to make it better already, which is admirable.
About the sex frame: It also includes "Tod", german for "Death", implying Asuka associating the two.
Great catch!
22:05 it is not Kanji, it is Katakana イタイ "it hurts" "pain".
Thank you for the note and translation!
What would be the recommended version to buy? I've never watched it. I usually watch anime in sub and I prefer uncut as I don't like censorship shenanigans.
I recommend any version of the Director's Cut, any dub or sub. Netflix has the restored Director's Cut, redubbed by VSI, and I highly recommend that version; but any form of Evangelion is good, as long as it's consumed.
@timberw0lfstudios sounds good. Thank you for the advice. You're doing a good job with your videos. Thanks to you popping up on my feed is how I stumbled in. 🙃
Aww awesome, glad UA-cam did us both a favor! Thank you so much for the kind words and support, it really means a lot!
As an elder anime enthusiast, I stopped watching Evangelion because Asuka hit too close to home for all middle children.
Hope that gave you a giggle.
That it did, friend; and I completely understand what you mean.
Amazing Job. Eagerly excited for the next video. Thank you!
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed! I'm excited to move into the final episodes as we conclude the series.
Soooo, when you say "Gendo's love for Rei", what kinda love are we talking about here? We know Gendo is the trope of "Worst Dad/Person In Anime", but is he THAT kind of worse as well?
You may very well have a point there. "Gendo's love" is kind of a loaded term.
Someone may have already mentioned but in the sequence with the flashing words the one you noted might be 'smeared kanji' is actually just smeared katakana: Itai, or 'it hurts'.
Gotcha, that's good to know and makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much!
“Walkman” is what the small tape players were called
Generally, yes. Specifically, though, Shinji's player is an SDAT.
@ 👍 No shade, no cap. Cause you’re right, of course. The “general term” was “portable cassette player”, but “Walkman” won out culturally.
Rightly so. Hard to think of a cooler and more fitting word for such a revolutionary device.
Great video. I disagree with a good amount of your assumptions and interpretations, as I believe many of them are completely baseless and pretty much made up but its still interesting to see them.
Thank you so much! I'm certainly interested in the particulars of your critique, but suffice it to say, thank goodness you have a different perspective. This whole "engage with art" thing is no fun if everyone agrees with me. Thank you for sharing your feedback!
Dude stop changing the thumbnail it’s tripping me out
Dude it's not me, it's UA-cam, it's doing an AB testing thing
"Wanna do a live-action roleplay of Evangelion? You can be Asuka and I'll be... _um, it'll be a surprise."_
I know absolutely nothing of Evangelion... How did I end up here...
I have no idea. Welcome!
I was never a fan of asuka and all the other fem characters that acted that way in anime it was always a head ache 😅 to watch lol.
Yeah I can certainly understand that. It's not a disposition I find particularly attractive either.
35:26 im just realizing now that her mom treated the doll like auska when her mond was breaking, did her mom hang the doll when she hung herself? Yikes
You know, I think maybe so. Yikes indeed.
Amazing video! Absolutely love all of your deep dives on the series.. I just never realized how much like Asuka I am 👀
Aww thank you so much! So glad you're enjoying it so far. It is funny how much a fictional character can make us feel seen.
@so very true.. the line “when does independence evolve isolation” makes you really think and reflect. Awesome stuff dude!!
Thank you so much!
"subtlety is a wonderful thing and not present here" honestly, while i agree that a lot of the metaphors aren't hidden or subtle, i think they are still sometimes easy to miss just because there is so much going on, so much new and confusing information, that it is hard to catch everything in a scene. in the scene where gendo's glasses warp, it's a tense moment, and the shock that gendo is withstanding such extreme heat to save rei takes attention off the metaphor of love being blind / his view becoming warped by his love for rei. which i think is sort of brilliant, the fact that meaning is so layered in at every shot of this show is just incredible
Amazing video, you do sound better! Been loving this series, it reignited my love for Evangelion after I set it down for a few years.
Aww awesome, thank you so much! Glad to know the audio has improved, and glad I could help you love this show just a little more!
I have to say, you're keeping me hooked for sure. Enjoying these videos. You have a very interesting perspective on a lot of things, Evangelion being one of them. Edit: The Master Chief's helmet on the shelf is a nice touch.
take all the time you need man, quality is more important than haste
Aww thank you so much, I appreciate it! Glad you're enjoying the videos so far!
is there a video where you talk about why, in context of nge, right to left movement is about regression? i have heard there are directional associations between right and left that have to do with reading- there is a study that showed people whose native language is written right-to-left tend to also read images right-to-left. so to them left is actually forwards, and right is backwards
NVM just got to the rei video and your clarification. DAMN you are thorough
Thank you and thank you!
Life ...life is Mind rRape
No one mentions the fact that Asuka has red hair and blue eyes, while Rei's got blue hair and red eyes. The polarization can't get any more obvious.
This is very true! Great detail
I LOVE THIS ANGRY LIL GERMAN GIRL
ASUKAAAA welcome back w0lf
YESSS Thank you for having me
As someone who has never watched Evangelion (original or remake), I have no idea what you're talking about. I will stick with it and hear everything you have to say about this character, though, because the comments have convinced me that you love this anime and wish to share your take/opinions about it. I'll probably watch your other videos on it, too.
I love your videos. Keep it up man!
Aww thank you so much! I'll keep doing my best!
How many thumbnail changes does this video need to have lol
Too many apparently lol. UA-cam's AB testing is going wild.
Bruh, the "sex" frame is Tod Sex. Tod is German for Death. It's literally shoving Eros and Thanatos into her mind as she tries to refuse both.
Correct. A mental invasion unlike any other.
I just watched all your evangelion videos and they’re amazing. I really think you just need to make more compelling thumbnails and people will check your videos out a whole lot more! Awesome stuff!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying it. Working on thumbnails, but it's kinda hard to find something captivating when all I'm really doing are minute by minute breakdowns. And besides, I'd rather go with something visually consistent than visually demanding. Thank you so much for your feedback though, I'll continue working on it!
I didn't notice in the past about Toji's missing leg after the destruction of the Entry Plug. OMG!
I know! Such a crazy detail, right?
