Hideaki Anno did say after "Thrice Upon a Time" he wanted to see what can be done with Evangelion in the hands of other creators. It was happening all along. Also, in hindsight the "Shave Impact" promotion pretty much gives away the plot of the final Rebuild movie.
i wear the coat too but towards the end its a bit much to all put on lol so i took off the jacket, i did not put on the overalls with it, apparently thats a thing he does but it feels wrong
Apparently there's an "All Ages" edit of Re-Take, and it's supposed to have a pretty good storyline. It's on my "To Read" list after Anima. It might not be official enough, since it's a doujin, but It seems to have a following. I mean, people liked it enough to make the "All Ages" version, right?
Thats alot of Evangelion side projects you covered. I actually purchased the N64 Neon Genesis Evangelion game back in the day and to say the controls are clunky is an understatement. Once you get the hang of it it wasn't so bad. It was a crowd pleaser though, as I remember friends actually being impressed with the presentation of the game, until you handed them a controller. 😂
I wrote on the wikia all about thrse stuff, so is nothing new to me. But it is weird to see someone use it in a video. One fun fact about the java games is that the screenshots that you used, were not screenshots taken from the game but zoomed in images of the anouncement press releases PDF that were archived, and there are so many more java games that weren't mentioned. And it is rare to see someone with good taste that enjoyed ANIMA. It is currently my favorite evangelion work and it would be hard to explain why I like it so much. But to see how an entry plug works and how it is explained in text with something that was ignored in all other series fills me with joy. Yes, Yamashita I want to know more about Armaros, the Towarts and the loops of eden and our moon.
I am so glad that you mentioned the stage show! Possibly because it is so new, a lot of people don't seem to know about it (or 2.5D in general) but I found it fascinating. :)
I really like the original manga, but the 2 things that hold it back for me to like it less than the show, EoE or Rebuilds is how they handle the Kaworu stuff (making Shinji kind of hate him but still trying to have the same character arc) and everything at the end up until the very end feeling like "End of Evangelion at home", the very end is fine though, even if I think it's not as good as EoE or 4th Rebuild
I can see what they're trying to do with kaworu in that shinji is cut off emotionally after death of toji but there's a couple things where yeah I find the anime better in most regards
It's funny you mention Sound Impact, because that game was the runner up for the Handheld Kusoge of 2011 Wiki's mention that not only does the action on the screen not match the rhythm of the game, but the rewards are not exactly great, including one particular off-model looking Rei that gets a chuckle out of me Also Im surprised you didnt mention the Eva Detective game (Im a big fan of Eva and Friends, I like Mahjong and the interactions with the Gainax character)
It feels a bit strange but you're looking for the tempo to follow in the end, kusoge seems very harsh on it tbh. The thing about the detective game is there's so many words and my japanese can't keep up with that, maybe if it's ever translated there could be potential like I'm into the concept and all
8:12 Thank you for saying this. From the uploads here on UA-cam that I see, most comments are just downright disgusted by Petit Eva. I may not be its biggest fan, but I don't think it's bad as the commenters make it out to be. And the fact that one of the parts was made by the same person who directed _Di Gi Charat_ really cements that it was meant to be that "weird". So to hear you say that you like it is a breathe of fresh air.
20:31 i was waiting for the manga spin offs, and the first you present is the one i own ^^ although my copy has "the Iron Maiden 2nd" as second title.. great video 👌
I have a soft spot for the Gakuen Datenroku aka Campus Apocalypse manga (even though the ending is a bit rushed), and the Neon Genesis IMPACTS short (which is one of a few Eva-related shorts that came from the Japan Animator Expo). The first has the kids fighting angels in a school setting... but more directly, with weapons they wield instead of giant robots. (Asuka has a whip. Shinji has a GUN. And not a weapon, but Rei has a horse head mask she loves very much.) The latter, though necessarily brief, shows a trio of girls in a band dealing with the effects of the Angel attacks on Tokyo-3.
I understand it's beyond the scope of this video and it would be a heavy undertaking but I'm kinda sad you didn't touch the super robot wars games as they really play with Eva's story especially SRW MX.
Thanks for giving some awareness to those "vintage now" computer and video games related to the Evangelion franchise. Along with that post 2010s (question mark) Evengelion Beyond traveling play. Plus that Tamagotchi like Angel care game is how the Digimon franchise should've of origination months before Taichi, Iori and others were given their model sheeted TV anime character designs (sarcasm, but keep the pink coloured poo for the boys. ;) ) Like I image an American Ralph Bakshi would be more proud on how far Hideaki Anno has grown as a person resume wise than that John "Kricfalusi" person, maybe that Nobuhiro Watsuki as well. I like blunt British sarcasm, and keep up the good work.
Love your outfit! I'll never understand how they make pachinko machines work with animation. I wasn't ever going to check these spin-offs but you've convinced me. I may if I feel very bored. Edit: removed that copying thing.
I love that in the ending statement Stevem mentioned Anno wanting to "gundamize" Evangelion and within a couple of days we'll get "evangelionized" Gundam. What a time we live in.
Personally I feel Neon Genesis Evangelion 2 on the PS2 is the GOAT Evangelion video game that isn't Sin & Punishment on the N64 and Wii. Also absolutely LOVE Evangelion Anima and wish that was the Rebuild of Evangelion (not sure how it would happen given End of Evangelion, but still....).
Ah it's good to see some appreciation for the manga. I'm one of those weirdos that prefers the manga to the show. I have to make a point to read the light novel at some point. But it's cool to see Grant is doing a reading of it.
“Flawless transition with flcl” seems to ignore a lot of the production issues flcl had, like the long time between episode releases, which implies they might have been struggling with digital a little
there wasnt a long time between episodes there was roughly two months each time i've read the FLCL weekly report there's two times a release was pushed back one by the company and the last episode was pushed back a month
I'm surprised you didn't mention the "Godzilla vs. Evangelion: The Real 4D" ride at Universal Studios Japan 🇯🇵, which is a more fleshed out scenario of Shin Godzilla fighting EVAs, specifically the three main ones piloted by Shinji, Asuka, and Rei. They introduced a Shin version of King Ghidorah called Shin Ghidorah, which they gave away little toy figures of after you finish the ride. Probably at the gift shop for the ride. So, this ride/short film wasn't just Shin Godzilla fighting EVAs, it was also Shin Godzilla fighting Shin Ghidorah, and the EVAs having to team up with Shin Godzilla to stop Shin Ghidorah, though Shin Godzilla ultimately strikes the final blow at the end. I've never been to the ride myself, and the only reason why I know all this is that someone recorded the video of the entire ride and film on phone or camcorder (probably a phone), and posted it on UA-cam. It sounds really cool, and I kind of wish this was ride/short film was expanded further and made into a full feature film.
@@Stevem the one about the western tracks in anime in the 2000s i was kind of surprised by that one because i was listening to the monster outro seconds before it came out
It would be cool if there was an Isekai Quartet like series for Mecha; including EVA, Gurren Lagann, Gundam, and Code Geass maybe (or another series like Eureka or 86). Considering at least two of these franchises have an incredibly heavy multimedia library (as seen in this video for EVA), that wouldn't feel too out of place for fans. Hell, imagine if they added AOT (definitely a mecha) in a season 2 like IQ2 did for Shield Hero
@@Stevem It's basically an official slice of life comedy crossover between isekai properties owned by Kadokawa. I'll check out the Super Robot Wars games when I get the chance, didn't know it existed til now
Super Robot Wars is great! It’s an SRPG, if you want a game with Eva in it SRW V is the only one that has it that’s in English. Though the finale for Eva’s plot in SRW Alpha 3 is amazing and someone even subbed it on UA-cam ua-cam.com/video/qNgzwuB-na4/v-deo.htmlsi=mESU-Qmztysa7_q4 Anno even once tried to have Char from Gundam pilot the Eva unit 2 but no one could figure out a way for it to work story wise. Code Geass was in the most recent one SRW 30 which I think is on sale right now.
I really enjoy the Evangelion Anima novels and i have no idea why. On paper, i should dislike its weird choices and clusterfragged story but its fun? It feels like what wouldve happened if the Rebuild series was made by Roger Corman
If you ever need ideas, you can do a compilation of animus that were inspired by Evangelion. And not forget to include Eureka Seven, since it is essentially an extraverted optimistic Evangelion. Evangelion being a cash cow for Gainax is not a good thing. The manga was not ongoing because of all the great ideas, but to make money. And the rebuild movies are a mess in and of themselves (while requiring you to watch the original for the changes to feel like they have meaning).
@@Stevem Do you have any plan to make a video about note worthy evangelion fan content? It would be interesting to see your opinion on Evangelion genocide.
I've been waiting for this video for so long, I knew it was the perfect job for you! Too bad you upload only when I'm asleep, I missed the premiere. I have a question regarding the Channel Memberships. Would you rather me get Patreon or channel membership?
@@Stevem Okay, cool. Are you planning to upload your Patreon stuff for members? One more thing, there are several spin-off mangas, like the hilarious Tony Takezaki's Neon Genesis Evangelion. Considering your work-flow that's asking way too much, but I'd love to see a sequel!
@@Stevem there are several mangas based on the school timeline of the show, and there are some decent ones too. Also there are crazier promotions Eva has taken part in, alongside the Pachinko Machines, but ig it's still not enough to wager an entire video. Anyways, looking forward to your future stuff!
While not actually connected the seeds for Evangelion are very present near the very end of Nadia. I was actually surprised when I saw the giant being called Adam. Plus some of the music from Nadia makes an appearance in Evangelion as well.
RahXephon could pass as an Eva spinoff. 😂😅 Eureka 7, too. P.S. I actually haven't seen Eva yet (it's on my watchlist), but I plan to see it, and I've seen enough video essays and clips from it to understand why it's so significant in the history of anime. I just think it's sad that fans so easily dismiss both Rah and Eureka 7 as "reductive" Evas, whereas they also have incredible animation and music and interesting characters, even if their stories aren't perhaps as well crafted as Eva's.
I dont think eureka 7 is trying to be eva is absolutely more so trying to be a gundam show its even 50 eps like a gundam show and made by ex sunrise people (bones) RapXephon has its own merits too though i think the only thing i tend to hear about it online is it's like Evangelion to the point if i ever did bring up RehXephon id probs have to title the video like that myself to get people to watch it
Great video STEVEMelon, but making your list of good spin offs a review of different hentai doujinshis in increasing weirdness in fetishes order was very crass.
I am way too familiar with far too many of these and this is exactly why I don't care for Rebuild 3 and 4. They felt like another cynical spin-off, but looks, it´s "official" now. Kaoru - The Movie, a new 4th girl, in your face fanservice, the apocalyptic setting multiple previous versions end with. Put all that in a blender and RoE is what you get. Warmed up hyper commercial detritus. FF VII´s remake series ended up with the very same issues. Your IP either dies a hero or lives long enough to become a Purple Monkey Dishwasher. The 14 vol pachinko mange was new to me though. Jesus. I would rather spend time with the striptease game.
@How come you didn't cover the official 2001 digital hentai callander. 2001! It´s on the Internet Archive... I am one of those people who like the manga more than the anime. Too bad about its artists. There is always something with Gainax. Edit: There is also a 2002 calendar. A sub-franchise it it´s own right!
And that is how you are wrong. This over commercialization isn't something new, these ideas aren't from the rebuild, they are born together with evangelion, its not 10 years later, it is sometimes in the same year or 2 years later, he ignored lots of materials, but it was there since the beginning. They just got super good at it.
I don't know if you do requests but, I would feel bad for not trying so... I'd like to suggest The manga and anime BECK MONGOLIAN CHOP SQUAD. I think it would be interesting because of the mangaka, who is also the creator of GORILLA MAN, a gag manga so far away from BECK and was somewhat successful in Japan. The other reason is the production of BECK it seemed like it was well produced, the music were written by musicians for the anime and unlike most animes the brands of the instruments weren't parodies i.e. McDonald's →Wacdonarudo. If not an episode just about BECK. maybe an episode on music animes 課長王子 BLACK HEAVEN, BECK, K-ON, ぼっち・ざ・ろっく！BOCHI THE ROCK I got inspired to write this comment after watching your episode on this and FLCL. THANK YOU FOR GREAT EPISODES! keep it up! 応援しているぜッ！！！
im more likely to do a video on music anime in general yeah since there's a lot that could be featured as you've mentioned there including on gaku or blue giant, gauche the cellist etc

Really loving the art director aesthetic you got going on as you take us down a history of licensed shitposts and Pachinko games.
Thank you I wanted it to fit the Eva style haha
For real, I think his look is based on Gendo without his iconic coat. There's a pic online that shows him wearing a red sweater, basically.
i wear the coat too but towards the end its a bit much to all put on lol so i took off the jacket, i did not put on the overalls with it, apparently thats a thing he does but it feels wrong
People neeeed to stop asking me about Eva porn & doujins lol 😅
Especially if they want them reviewed,how would one plausibly "review" and compare them.
Why do they even ask that
Apparently there's an "All Ages" edit of Re-Take, and it's supposed to have a pretty good storyline. It's on my "To Read" list after Anima. It might not be official enough, since it's a doujin, but It seems to have a following. I mean, people liked it enough to make the "All Ages" version, right?

Also there are crazier promotions Eva has taken part in, alongside the Pachinko Machines, but ig it's still not enough to wager an entire video. Anyways, looking forward to your future stuff!
Damn so the real plot of evangelion lies in pachingelion, and the anime is really just side media to advertise the real product
You've uncovered the secrets of evangelion
Where did the Meitantei Evangelion go?
It's completely untranslated and super heavy on the text
@@Stevem
That is fair.
3rd girl is my new band name
very nice
If it's a metal band, it could be called 5th horseman
We Have an Evangelion 2, But what about a Evangelion 3?
coming soon?
You mean Anima?
Do you think Nadia works into the Evangelion ecosphere?
There's struggles with that since Nadia is owned by nhk bad they'll restrict what can be done
While not actually connected the seeds for Evangelion are very present near the very end of Nadia. I was actually surprised when I saw the giant being called Adam. Plus some of the music from Nadia makes an appearance in Evangelion as well.
those ideas come from documents which go all the way back to the Gunbuster days
Sound seems a bit odd or low compared to other videos :(
It's lav audio but it sounds alright to me
RahXephon could pass as an Eva spinoff. 😂😅 Eureka 7, too.
P.S. I actually haven't seen Eva yet (it's on my watchlist), but I plan to see it, and I've seen enough video essays and clips from it to understand why it's so significant in the history of anime. I just think it's sad that fans so easily dismiss both Rah and Eureka 7 as "reductive" Evas, whereas they also have incredible animation and music and interesting characters, even if their stories aren't perhaps as well crafted as Eva's.
I dont think eureka 7 is trying to be eva is absolutely more so trying to be a gundam show its even 50 eps like a gundam show and made by ex sunrise people (bones)
RapXephon has its own merits too though i think the only thing i tend to hear about it online is it's like Evangelion to the point if i ever did bring up RehXephon id probs have to title the video like that myself to get people to watch it
seeing you dressed as gendo made me realize i may have the best kind of daddy issues 😳 (lol sorry, it had to be said 🤣)
Is this what it means to open your heart to your Eva
@@Stevem perhaps... if you'll enter my entry plug? 🤣 (ok i have a billion more of these questionable puns, but i'll quit while i'm still ahead lol)
24:23 My God who is she?
Lol she's the main girl in the play
woop woop
Yeah nothing can beat godzilla x evangelion
Dawg, please balance the audio
Great video STEVEMelon, but making your list of good spin offs a review of different hentai doujinshis in increasing weirdness in fetishes order was very crass.
Can't say I'm not thorough
You should really watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes if you haven't
bit random
Why
Did you read evangelion genocide?
Isn't that fan fiction
@@Stevem yeah but I've heard it's good
@@killmonger7491I had enough official media to go through already so no I didn't touch any fan fiction
@@Stevem fair enough
RE-TAKE
I'm not covering fan porn
It's current year and people still mispronounce her name.
WHO???
As for me, the worst spin-off of Evangelion was Darling in the Franxx's. Hello from Russia
*Ты просто не шаришь!*
(знаю про франкс только изза мемов)
No it had one of my best friends in the English dub.
read the manga it has a better new ending
It's hardly a bad anime
there's also a eva hanime.
Hanime?
@@Stevem yes
@@nathanielduncan4692are you referring to ero works I don't think most of that is official
@@Stevem yeah i am, the title of it is Evangelion Human Salvation project.
@@nathanielduncan4692it's not official so I don't really care
No eva genocide mention 0/10
Nice clothes
Thank you
blergh
blerghh
I am way too familiar with far too many of these and this is exactly why I don't care for Rebuild 3 and 4. They felt like another cynical spin-off, but looks, it´s "official" now. Kaoru - The Movie, a new 4th girl, in your face fanservice, the apocalyptic setting multiple previous versions end with. Put all that in a blender and RoE is what you get. Warmed up hyper commercial detritus. FF VII´s remake series ended up with the very same issues.
Your IP either dies a hero or lives long enough to become a Purple Monkey Dishwasher. The 14 vol pachinko mange was new to me though. Jesus. I would rather spend time with the striptease game.
I don't know if it's cynical in the same way, but to live within a market where you have a studio involves a cash flow for sure
@How come you didn't cover the official 2001 digital hentai callander. 2001! It´s on the Internet Archive...
I am one of those people who like the manga more than the anime. Too bad about its artists. There is always something with Gainax.
Edit: There is also a 2002 calendar. A sub-franchise it it´s own right!
why do you think i didnt cover a calandar i cant even show in the video lol
And that is how you are wrong. This over commercialization isn't something new, these ideas aren't from the rebuild, they are born together with evangelion, its not 10 years later, it is sometimes in the same year or 2 years later, he ignored lots of materials, but it was there since the beginning. They just got super good at it.
comment 4 algo
Thankssss
Eva is truly one of the anime merch franchise ever made...... 😅😅😅😅
yep keeps the lights on
I don't know if you do requests but,
I would feel bad for not trying so...
I'd like to suggest The manga and anime BECK MONGOLIAN CHOP SQUAD.
I think it would be interesting because of the mangaka, who is also the creator of GORILLA MAN, a gag manga so far away from BECK and was somewhat successful in Japan.
The other reason is the production of BECK it seemed like it was well produced, the music were written by musicians for the anime and unlike most animes the brands of the instruments weren't parodies i.e. McDonald's →Wacdonarudo.
If not an episode just about BECK.
maybe an episode on music animes
課長王子 BLACK HEAVEN, BECK, K-ON, ぼっち・ざ・ろっく！BOCHI THE ROCK
I got inspired to write this comment after watching your episode on this and FLCL.
THANK YOU FOR GREAT EPISODES!
keep it up! 応援しているぜッ！！！
im more likely to do a video on music anime in general yeah since there's a lot that could be featured as you've mentioned there including on gaku or blue giant, gauche the cellist etc
@@Stevem BLUE GIANT
Mmmm YUMMY! 🤤
