    • @darthfrodo7
      @darthfrodo7 8 років тому +94

      +nanalinda4 I would mostly lean towards agreeing with that if you watch the episodes in the span of a couple days. But I think the frustration mostly comes from those who watched the series when it aired on television and would only get one episode of content per week. Considering there are various episodes where literally nothing happens on screen besides Shinji sitting in a goddamn "mind train" to contemplate philosophy with himself, I can see where the frustration comes from. It's a big reason why the Rebuild movies leave those scenes out, going with the "show, don't tell" approach to storytelling that the TV series couldn't financially afford.

      But srsly... _the_ key scene, Arael's scene, is done by (=to) Asuka. And the Grand Finale is led by Rei (=Ayanami of course lol), who was conceptualized as complementary opposite to Asuka and vice versa. At the same time Kensuke is always targetting the cammy to Shinji....I'm just having a heavy hunch that this comcept of "female (mecha) leadership" never really was dropped but rather cunningly disguised...

    @stargazersdance 6 років тому +186

    The end of EVA where everyone started congratulating Shinji is really nice, actually.
    The show is more about Shinji battling his depression than what's going on around him.
    It begins with a 15 year old boy who's quite insecure and not fond of company because he's afraid that he might hurt them.
    He does not like fighting at all, hence why it took him forever to get in the Mech.
    Fast Foward to the end where he finally accepted himself and everyone clapped for him, they're clapping for him because he has finally beaten his depression. He has really accepted himself for who he is. The clear blue sky and the fact that everyone's airborne represents the freedom he's experiencing. Free like bird in a clear blue sky. The burden has fallen off his shoulders.
    Really, that ending was amazing.

I prefer EoE over the rebuilds because EoE had excellent plot progression and took the series to the best point possible at the time. And I LIKE the animation of EoE, it's beautiful and gritty like old school anime movies.

    I absolutely love Evangelion. There are very very few anime (or shows in general) that have made me feel emotions so human before. When I watched this show, the reactions I had towards characters were almost like I was reacting to a real person. I would feel real happiness, sadness, hatred, etc. Hell, I even liked the freaking weird last 2 episodes.

    I like the explanation of the Evangelion in which he quoted Anno responded to the fans which "Evagelion is like puzzle, you know any person can see it and give his/her own answer. In other words, we're offering viewers to think by themselves, so that each person can imagine his/her own world, we will never offer the anwers, even in the theatrical version. As for many evangelion viewers, they may expect us to provide the 'all about eva' manuals but there is no such thing. Don't expect to get answers by someone, ...to be cetered to all time. We all have to find our own Answers."

  • @captainjurgh8142
    @captainjurgh8142 6 років тому +11

    4:20 The reason why Mr. Spencer said "Not me then... How about that." is not just only because he didn't got the point of the ending of Classic Evangelion series, he also ranted about this with Shinji's voice and the character, added this personal clip to the outro of the Director's Cut episode...
    So yeah. How 'bout that.

    • @DarkTenka
      @DarkTenka 8 років тому +2

      +Ferman Sensei I would say so .. even though 3.0 followed a very different set of circumstances, the overall tone and pace was still very similar to the way the 3rd act of the series went. I expect 4.0 to be total and brutal chaos followed by an absolute mind fuck.

    The ending is absolutely amazing. Anno's message is incredible, and can be applied to many other areas for these "fans" who feel that they deserve a story they've started to enjoy to cater to them. I'm glad Anno doesn't cave to popular opinion, nor even considered much of the fans' griping, and created one of the most unique anime ever made. I actually learned a lot from watching Evangelion, and I'm glad I didn't just ignore it when I heard of its fame and legacy.
    Everyone has to watch Evangelion at least ONCE, has been my advice ever since I finished the series.
    P.S. The animation still fascinates me. The color, the angels' movements, the cinematography--brilliant and inspiring.

    Oh wow, this is a treat.
    I saw Eva at a young age when I really needed it, and it was the dub - mind you, I started with End of Eva which began my whole grimdark phase, and I was 12 - but it was cathartic and I honestly needed something like that at the time. Even today I can't separate Shinji from Spike's performance - not to sell the original Japanese voice cast short, Eva is just something that's precious to me in the format that I originally saw it.
    If you're reading this, Spike, thanks for doing such a cool fan thing and I'm looking forward to seeing the 3.33 dub. I still haven't seen the movie, February will be the first time I see it and I'm looking forward to it. Not to be a weird guy or anything, but it does mean a lot to me that you've stuck with the series for as long as you have. Thanks for portraying Shinji.

    • @Maztuhmind
      @Maztuhmind 8 років тому

      Leviathon672015​ the original TV ending as opposed to eoe? If you want, I have a way of watching the series that blends in both. In ways, it made more sense to me than watching one or the other and is the definitive way how I watch it now.

    • @Leviathon672015
      @Leviathon672015 8 років тому

      +Maztuhmind I'd be very interested in such a combo. Some well-thought out combination of two would likely fix any discrepancies between them for maximum content and a complete Evangelion experience. Unfortunately, such a thought hasn't occurred to me and every recommendation on the series I've found has insisted on viewing one or the other. Usually EoE.

    • @Maztuhmind
      @Maztuhmind 8 років тому +17

      Okay, here goes:
      Watch episodes 1 - 20 like usual
      Watch the director's cut versions of 21 - 24
      Then start up eoe and watch it until right before it gets to the part where it shows all the real-life imagery. Roughly around 15 - 18 minutes before it ends.
      Then watch episodes 25 & 26 back to back
      Then finish the rest of eoe.
      Basically, with the original episodes added into eoe, this makes it feel more like a director's cut of the film. The last half of the movie already delves into deep introspection with shinji just like the last two episodes and gives them a lot more meaning.
      I wish more Eva fans who said that's it's either one or the other would watch it this way. It might just open their eyes more to them as a whole.

    this quote is real?
    "There are a lot of giant robot shows in Japan, and we did want our story to have a religious theme to help distinguish us. Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan we thought it would be mysterious. None of the staff who worked on Eva are Christians. There is no actual Christian meaning to the show, we just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool. If we had known the show would get distributed in the US and Europe we might have rethought that choice." ― Kazuya Tsurumaki

      It's true, in so much that the Japanese view the Semitic religions as sci-fi/fantasy (and so do I.) However, as Decidium Z has stated, the references aren't just chucked in at random. Anno clearly did research so that it would make sense if you knew about the myths beforehand.

    Really, you left out the best part of that Ikuhara interview: he explains how one time while he and Anno were working on Sailor Moon (either Sailor Moon R or S) the crew went to a resort to let off some steam and these two actually had a very intense encounter where Ikuhara admitted that when he was a teen he was certain he would never live to see adulthood and if he did it would only be as an "omake"; that all the teen drama bullshit of school and peers WAS his life and any failure would doom him. He said that being able to open up about his vulnerabilities this way, to recognize that those sorts of insecurities were universal likely influenced Anno's work in the same way it helped to crystalize Ikuhara's views on "bringing the world revolution" as a concept for his own masterpiece Utena.
    Did I mention they had this conversation naked in an open air bath after one too many beers? So yeah, Shinji and Kowaru are at least partially based on Anno and Ikuhara, no question.

    I knew I recognized that voice. LOL loved the series you were great in it. Also this video was very informative. I loved Evangelion and it is one of the primary reasons I got into anime!

    ... The English voice actor for Shinji has a website about cooking, and not asphyxiation, called "Don't Kill Your Date." I can't stop smiling. Random anime feed, you got my subscribe. Spike, I'm gonna be checking out that website when i get home from work.
