CLOSURE at last │An Evangelion 3.0+1.01 Analysis
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- My Evangelion journey finally ends, and in this analysis of my Evangelion Rebuild series, I break down everything that happened in Evangelion 3.0+1.01 Thrice Upon a Time. Here I explain everything from how the Mark .44a Evas function, to how Adam and the vessels of the Adam represent the Anunnaki, and why there's 5 Adams, if Thrice upon a time was a reboot or not, how the timeloop functions, as well as explain what really happened during the 14 year time skip between 2.2 and 3.3... and more!

I always took it as all endings are canon, since Kaworu is doomed to repeat them he knows all the other endings of Eva and his goal has always been to help shinji find happiness. Kaworu has watched him his whole life, in all of his lifetimes, he is protective of him.. shinji finally creating a universe free of Evas sets him free and breaks the loops, hence goodbye all of evangelion.
Also despite the circumstances of all other eva endings i feel Anno loves them all and feels that each is as good of an ending as the other, i think That you can choose your canon ending, or embrace its final ending. Anno never dimisses NGE or EOE, theres this idea that Anno hates NGE, that hes only in it for the money. I feel Anno finally got to tell the story hes wanted to tell since the start, and as he has found happiness and love in his life so should his chracters, theyve always been a reflection of his emotions anyway. He cares deeply about their journey and their ending, the rebuilds breath passion, Eva could of became souless and serialized go on forever but This story is deserving of an end its just a matter of which one you take. Anno is ready to move on and so should they...
@@camrynhammeAnno himself was asked by a little girl what parts of his show he didn’t like and he said “the parts where I see myself” which clearly is referring to Evangelion since Evangelion is a representation of what he felt at the time he made it.
@@michaelg8841 it was referring to the hospital scene at the beginning of EOE
Fan who only saw original 20+ episodes and the two movies out at that time:
“So you’re saying it WASN’T complicated enough originally…got it.”
I actually think the movies give really helpful information for interpreting the whole franchise and clear some things up.
I find it hard to believe that there are people who can firmly say that they have fully understood this video and the story of evangelion 100%
I'll admit I cover a lot of ground very quickly but if you pause between my points they're not difficult to understand!
I understand it all
@@tonyfunkboomA well said. It's not complicated.
As with all media there is not one specific reading or intention meant to be taken away, otherwise it could easily be addressed and clarified by the creators. Even then, art is always subjective and even if an artist does not intend for a reading to exist the art takes on a life and meaning of its own in the mind of the consumer that they have no control over. Your Evangelion timeline and meaning isn't mine, or this creator's, even if you agree on a lot of points, and neither is any less valid. Makes for good youtube content though, especially if you frame it as if it is objectively the correct interpretation. Here we are contributing to engagement.
@@remygallardo7364 I never claimed it was the definitive explanation. It was the best satisfactory explanation that I could believe. Everything is subjective and the purpose of this video was to help others find their own personal meaning for this film by getting to see my personal breakdown of the lore. I encourage my viewers to disagree with me and create healthy discussions because that's what community is all about.
Evangelion could be its own college course....
No kidding! There's just so much to dissect!
Not really, but whatever floats your boat.
@@Googleisstupid-sk3hmbuzzkill
This is a really solid analysis and sufficiently debunks any arguments made that New Theatrical Edition was a soulless cashgrab. In reality, it was a passion project that Anno could have chosen to rush through to get a quick buck, but instead clearly thought deeply about it and worked hard with his team to execute the vision. As a longtime fan it's been a wild ride, and I'm incredibly happy with how things ended.
I couldn't agree more!!! Thanks for your comment!!!
Rebuild of Evangelion was literally the wooden doors on gas chambers of anime.
@@grugnotice7746 "Rebuild of Evangelion" is not a real name. No one in Khara, Anno's team, FUNimation, or Amazon ever designated that as an official title.
And as far as "wooden doors" and "gas chambers" go I have no idea what you're even talking about.
@@za_beasto Exactly!
Wait, people thought it was a soulless cashgrab….? Really….? It was super clear how much love went into each and every single scene and how everything they did in what I knew was a new timeline was like a redemption arc that spanned the entire life cycle of a universe multiple times.
What’s more, Shinji , Asuka, Rei, Kaowru, Misato , Ritsuko, Toji, and Kennsuke are going to be okay.
The final Eva movie for me had one main message.
"It's time to grop up".
Trueeeee
(〃＾▽＾〃)ʸᵉˢ
exactly. hit me HARD but i needed it.
How the hell do you not have more views/subs??? Your videos are amazing, this is by far one of the best 3.0+1.0 (or honestly rebuild movies in general) videos ive seen! It legitimately helped me understand a plot issue i didnt understand since 3.33 literally came out
Thanks soooo much! I'm glad you found my breakdown helpful. And I appreciate your support more than you know; I hope to keep making helpful content for y'all because your support means everything to me!
Roach Dogg Jr. !
Anime is very niche and unpopular today.
@@trollzone1Not all anime today is bad.
@@whatisbludtalkinabout it’s not as good as it was from 1970s-early 2000s.
After spending my entire life with eva, from the 90s until today, the closure I received from 3.0+1.01 is just.. jesus christ.. 30 years of an abusive hard loving relationship with eva.. I cried, and cried, and cried. I literally jumped up and started screaming and cheering once one last kiss started playing.
every time I see that last 30 seconds and hear one last kiss, I can't keep it in. To this day.
my heart is at rest!
I really hope your mental health is ok lol take care
I agree. It felt akin to being exorcised.
I cried so much, I never expected that madman to end it THAT perfectly. I saw it in imax, cried. rewatched just yesterday, still cried. but in a good way.
You’re very underrated
Thank you, means a lot!!!
I second that.
Do you know that feeling when you finish reading a good book. That feeling of regret for ending a good story? Yeah, i'm drowning in that feeling.
Thank you for making this video. It’s one of the best analyses of the rebuild series I’ve ever seen. You were able to clearly explain so many scenes that I thought were meaningless and just for visual spectacle. I’m also blown away by the numerous references to Mesopotamian religions. I love all the rebuild movies and this gave me an even deeper appreciation for them. Now I’ve gotta binge all your Eva content!
Thank you sooo much! It truly means a lot I could bring more value to your Eva experience! I hope you enjoy the content, and I'll be making even more in the future!
This movie ruined the series for me. It's a movie about Anno, not about the characters we followed for 20 years. Very disappointing.
I felt exactly the same
They ruined auska by making her ANOTHER clone, and Shinji has to suffer nothing and gets to escape reality to a new world with his 50 year old girlfriend who looks like a teenager
@@devildolphin2102 Exactly. Skip a movie and then comeback with a story about how Anno wants the twilight years of his life to be perceived by everyone, instead of any meaningful character arc conclusions. Ugh..
@@BigTArmada
Anno literally had whole interviews where he kinda just shite on Eva and the fans. The fact movie 2.0 and 3.0 are unwatchable messes and he abandoned all the fan favorites.
Being an Eva fan is just pain
@@devildolphin2102 I'll have to check out those interviews, maybe that will clear up some of this dissonance for me.
I getcha about the mess, but I enjoyed those movies under the assumption that it was another go-around for Shinji to try and get it right. The fact that there were connecting points indicating he was getting closer to the right answer. So exploring new motifs and different approaches to old scenarios would be a cool creative choice.
..and then *fart noises* and glasses.
This is an excellent, albeit fast, analysis of this incredible finale to my favorite anime series of all time. The only thing I sorta feel differently about is Gendo's realization about Yui and Shinji. I just interpreted a little more simplistically that he couldn't find Yui because she was dead and gone and her spirit was with Shinji/inside of Unit 01 but her memory lived on through their child, Shinji, and he should have spent more time with Shinji as he is a living symbol of their love and the future that Gendo should have invested his time in if he wanted to be "close" to Yui. I just saw it as more of a heartfelt but bittersweet realization that Yui's memory and love lived on through Shinji and Gendo realized it too late that what he was searching for was there the whole time in his son. Fuck do I love this film. Thank you for putting this together too!
This was a MASTERFUL analysis!!!!! Only ONE single little thing that could have made it better: at 34:50 you could have put in One last kiss to play the video out and then let it play on a black screen just a few seconds to get to the chorus.
Would have pushed the video up slightly form a 10/10 to an 11/10 heh
Darn, that would've been good eh?
When Thrice Upon a Time was released I was just overcoming my anxiety and imposter syndrome, faced my dad for my insecurities and finally became the man I wanted myself to be. This coincidence made the movie speak loudly to me: I've accepted my weak inner child at the same time Shinji accepted theirs. I let Evangelion go, and my guilt altogether. These are the happiest years of my life, as an adult, at last.
Imposter
bro, really? it's indifferently spelled both ways. My god why do people act like this? You are scum. :D@@CodeeXD
I think its cool that you can connect your own dots like that.
@@CodeeXD sus
i feel like i just completed a summer semester course on Evangelion. but seriously, these videos were brilliant and i need to rewatch all of them everytime i rewatch these movies. Theres still so much for me to learn and understand
Bro. For 3 movies, it needed more like 6. How would anyone come conclusion without writing a essay, and watching 3 times over. Honestly the series was masterfully done compared to the rebuild. They are phenomenal movies. But I don't see how this movie concluded anything more than EOE or ep 25-26. Every time they needed to move the plot forward they just tossed on some spears, and a time gap to make things work. Also why didn't Shinji wish Adam away like the EVA's all the problems are byproducts of Adam not the EVA's...
the rebuilds are amazing, tho I’m still a bit confused, I’m starting to understand, so thank you so much, for the info on the anime that changed my life❤ honestly got choked up to see the picture at the end
Thanks for your beautiful comment!!! It's a pleasure to help people enjoy this series even more.
Same. Every rewatch, every UA-cam video I learn something new. Evangelion has such a crazy lore that is often distracting because like the author on this video said, it doesn't matter because Shinji decided to live his life.
This is what I love seeing. Eva reviews and comprehensive video descriptions that include music. Thumbs up.
Thanks for your comment! It means a lot!!!
Right?! I feel like I’ve seen a lot without any.
It's so unrealistic that these girls don't where bras. I don't think men understand that bouncing breasts hurt.
It does not feel good to have your breast bouncing all over the place.
The story of Evangelion pilot Shinji Ikari is finished.
That's all we needed. That way, Anno Sensei can come back to the Eva universe, bring us new stories, and there won't be a need to connect to anything Shinji related.
Or maybe anyone else, like Sadamoto Sensei and his manga timeline.
Just as Eva, the possibilities are endless
Exactly. That was beautifully said!
It opens the door for a better protagonist (literally anyone else)
A main character who is more decisive and doesn't get "gayed"
Guess I’ll just never get it. Every Eva explained video is like a research presentation by a scientist specializing in a really niche field: there’s just too much special terminology and logic for one unlearned to follow along. I _think_ the general premise is people trying to amass objects with the right properties in the right place to get what they want, but what objects with what properties and where and what the people want is left to the realm of fan theorization? Idk. Following that logic I’m at least able to accept everything that happens.
Nevertheless, Eva is one of my favorite works of fiction. The sci fi might fly right over my head but the human journeys and arcs are just so real and compelling. And seeing y’all who are able to get a foothold in the lore speculate and build cases for your theories is fun. Keep it up!
Hey man I feel you, it truly is something that was never meant to be analyzed in a logical nor realistic fashion, however for me personally, it made it difficult to find catharsis for the ending of the entire franchise unless I understood why and how everything happened. This is why I made an attempt to make sense of it all. I'm really happy you found this video entertaining which is always my goal!!!
For me Eva has never really been about the how, a little bit about the why, and mostly that it did.
The rebuilds were a mistake
I love thrice upon a time. That ending hits so hard but in a good way. Finally there’s closure :)
This just points out how convoluted and stupid the rebuild lore is
I just wish Rei II and Shinji were allowed more scenes together, given how much they were emphasized in the Rebuild saga.
But of course, Anno hates the former and her relationship with Shinji so that didn’t happen, instead being dropped with very little in terms of closure, because Anno has nothing but spite for her character.
It kinda sounds like you're the only one spiteful about it, lol.
Somehow, I'm ok with Shinji not having a romantic relationship with part of the soul of his mum.
Feels like you missed the point and the train, buddy
@@svipulvalke9913 It's not just because they didn't get together (frankly, I didn't really see it as incest due to Rei being more of a half-human hybrid).
It's more the fact that, despite their relationship being one of the core focuses of the Rebuild saga, they got barely any closure at the end purely thanks to Anno's spite for both Rei and her fanbase.
@@ldragon2515
I never saw anything showing Anno affirming disgust for Rei.
But for the sake of discussion, I’ll assume it’s true :
original evangelion was a *warning* for otakus against otaku culture by an otaku. None of the Children stereotype were advertised for by Anno, to the contrary. I understand that, the public being fan of what he warned against, disgusted him.
And by Shinji being a self projection of Anno, and Anno getting through life and growing through crisises, it is expectable that the story around Shinji evolves to different answers.
@@icarusfd4155 Still, the fact that he can only see Rei as little more than a creepy symbol for escapism, dismissing her subtle character growth and interactions with Shinji I find disappointing.
Like, he’d rather ignore her arc of slowly becoming human and learning to love and care for others such as Shinji (which I found to be heartwarming and one of the best elements of the series), purely because that would get in the way of his oh-so-important theme of anti-escapism somehow. The opportunity for character growth and relationship building is ruined purely so Anno can lecture to us.
@@ldragon2515 i think you should see further.
Rei being cut off in the middle of her growth and affirmation and humanisation is both a recall to the determinism of her nature (« just one more clone ») and the cruelty and the psychopathy of not only Gendo, but most adults, and especially Corporatism.
The shock value of dumping that Rei gives its meaning to the analysis you can make of it. A happy ending would only fuck it all. So to the opposite, Anno commits to the deep end of his story and messages.
(Personal note : sure i wanted a better fate for « Rei 2 », but for once it’s not a Disney level emotional candy so I’m happy with it)
Imo evangelion was "sabotaged" by its creator. It was always around shinji, asuka, and rei, but then he forced various things like giving his wife a self insert, and shinji, (presumably his self insert), who prior had deep connections with rei and asuka across all media and spin offs, suddenly is set with, on top of all the immersion breaking stuff in the finale of bluntly saying it was all fake, move along. Imo the only way to have really done with evangelion what he wanted to do (make it happier, he was depressed and bitter when he made the original), would be to have done what some of the spin offs attempted and what muv luv alternative did some: shinji makes major mistakes, dies, and then is reset by your choice of godlike figure, future vers included, to "do better", suffering and hardening/growing along the way. Stuff like he panics the second time around before asuka is attacked, saves her, saves rei, becomes far more skilled a pilot earlier than he could ever be, helps members of the staff with things he shouldnt even know, and through incredible pain and suffering, he earns his happy ending and becomes the man and friend his friends/lover needed, and maybe instead of them needing him to support them, they support him through his own trauma and ptsd, and they suffer and comfort each other together. Eventually you could still have a reveal where it was only through shinji or someone else reaching a state of near godhood that they were able to create a loop until he made a happy ending, or was able to help his friends get there with him.
Or... He could just stare at the camera, "maybe the real treasure was us making this movie the whole time" and walk away with a glasses neko into light
I thought I would understand this video.....I did not. Nice video.
Boy, was that a good explanation. Cheers from Brazil!
Muito obrigado amigo!!!
Thank you, I finally understand Evangelion.... I now have closure... thanks
My pleasure! Thank you for your comment!!!!
damn dude... now THAT was an analysis, I also agree that this is most likely the final outcome of Evangelion since the evas are no more, the only thing that could happen as Anno mentioned would be a movie down the road that would cover what happened in the timeskip between 2.0 and 3.0
Thank you so much!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
evas have no soul? might want to rewatch the first movie when the red head dies. she knows its her mother "soul" inside the eva.
put simply Shinji Ikari saved the world...............took him a few tries.......but Shinji Ikari saved the world
No he abandoned the world so he could live in a different world and date a 50 year old who looks like a teenager
This is literally the most informative Evangelion vid I've ever seen. I'm gonna have to watch it 3 or 4 times to make any meaningful sense of it, but good sh*t brosef.
At last "someone" brings up the Annunaki !
There are two few who talk about "traversing" the tree of life ....maybe its best that way
i was always under the impression that rey never had a soul since she's a clone of shinji's mother and her soul is trapped inside unit 1 (unbeknownst to gendo). or does rey have a lilith's soul infused into the clone body since gendo couldn't recover his wife's soul? i swear evangelion lore makes my head spin xD
I also thought, that she didnt have a soul. She is clearly depicted as a puppet of nerv, a being without a free will and that would make sense, if she actually didnt have a soul.
Thetes still a whole bunch of unanswered questions and nonsensical stuff they made up without explanation
Thrice was such a bad movie itself that I don't care if they did all this junk. The last half of Thrice is just "We did X thing, now X thing, (meta conversation x10) we are doing X thing! (More Meta conversations x10)" The problem with it as compared to EoE is that it's so. damn. long. and it's absolutely awful at expressing anything coherent. EoE's entire apocalypse section lasted 30 minutes and it's mostly events of the apocalypse (Rei, orange juice, etc.). In Thrice it's an HOUR and most of it is dialogue, some absolutely awful Eva1 vs Copy fight, a re-done version of EoE's (which looks awful), and then "closure."
>Mari's history
The fact that you had to make a 30 minute video to explain this means she didn't have much, if any, to begin with.
I have fallen in-love with this franchise Evangelion from memes, to anime, to analysis. In my own interpretation (or maybe everyone else) of that train station scene Asuka, Rei and Kaworu clothes as an Teenager (maybe just young adult) about to go into their own adventure that will find their own happiness while Shinji already experience enough for his lifetime found that happiness his looking for and that's the reason why his clothing is already what an adult or middle age man would wear.
For Mari what I could say an (already matured adult) while Shinji is just (coming to an Adult) but still lack the purpose to move forward and the reason why Mari removed that collar and putting it inside her pocket teaching him to letting go of the past but never forget the past even tho its just a collar at this point in time but Mari knows that it just holding him back and him subconscious finding comfort wearing it.
their relationship could be romantical but for me they just close-friends and Mari wants to help Shinji drive to improve himself more while being adult stage of his life and the mater of fact that they are close to each other and not showing any discomfort maybe shows how close are they really are maybe in a future where Shinji and Mari would date each other or already did but its quite funny not many movie just make me smiles looking at the final scene of it until the credit rolls and music start.
thank you Evangelion making the most confusing anime I have watch and most satisfying to end with. what a ride am I right?
ACORDING TO EVA CANON EVERY STORY EVEN THE HENTAI IS CANON
FACTOS
It occurred to me... the aliens who sent Adams and Lillith's across the galaxy. Their work and perhaps even themselves, still exist.
And the closest thing to a robot defender Earth has been shown to muster... Is JETALONE.
... Cue Jet Alone opening credits
did u make that edit at 30:30
Soo much information to take it. But thank you
Took soo much time since the release of the last movies to find somone to explain the Details of what's happening
Not just the philosophical theories
I'm glad I was able to help you understand a few details about 3.0+1.0! I found initially that there were sooo many things that didn't make so I'm glad this video can help!!!!
i have only watched the original show and end of eva, what the hell am i looking at bruh
I can't believe after 28 years Anno's ghosts of misery are finally put to rest. This has weighed on me. NGE has always caught my attention, but it's grimdark, like 40k. You have no reason to hope which is why the few glimpses of happiness and success are such a big deal. I can't believe we actually got a happy ending. It's the last thing I expected but it's what I really wanted most. Thanks for explaining all the technobabble that goes almost wholly unexplained. Great video.
You realize that ALL Evas are angels, right? In the original show we literally see the core of the Evas and how they were made from angels.
this fil fucking sucked, the rebuilds are useless and bad
From the moment Mari was introduced, I felt as though I understood that Shinji could never be happy with Asuka or Rei and that she was the first proper complement to Shinji.
Outstanding analysis … very impressive. Definitely subscribing and checking out your other work. Thanks!
Thank you so much!!! Hope you enjoy the channel!!!
Edgy opinion. The reboot is pure trash.
I think you would probably enjoy a book called “the religion of the Apostles.”
Evengelion lore makes my brain hurt.
I wonder when will we see mesopotanian shitpost x evangelion shitpost.
Je déteste la chanson de fin la voix et les paroles sont d’un malaise surtout quand tu est français
It is so good on Anno to make all this esoteric, fanservice-riddled bullshit when his main point appears to be "Get a life and leave me the fuck alone".
Loved the mythology stuff! Mechanical justification of events is what kept holding me back from enjoying the Rebuild movies. The "But what the fuck is even going onnnnn" factor overpowered me ;DDD
Thank you for this vid! Maybe I'll finally be able to watch the movies without hating them ;DDD
I barely had a clue wtf was going on in this near the end, but I loved it all the same.
Thanks for this. It's so spiteful to see so many people decry the Rebuilds as a mindless cash grab, all the while praising EoE, which itself was mindless violence bait. Hideaki Anno himself said he hated he failed with the original ending, then made EoE and hated it. With the Rebuilds he finally said he managed to completely tell the original story he wanted to, and you can tell with how much love is in the Rebuilds ending.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO ISNT A EOE STAN
3.0+1.0 was so bad to auska and Shinji.
Auskas entire character arc with her Mom was thrown out in favor for ANOTHER clone story line, while Shinji didn’t learn anything and Just used escapism to find the Perfect universe with no problems and dates his Moms 50 year old best friend who looks just like a teenager because readons
I agree. Anno dropped the ball when it came to developing a solid ending for Asuka. I like that she ended up with Kesnuke as it meant she would be accepted for who she was, but ultimately I would've preferred if her trauma and resolution was explored more. As for Shinji, I do think he learned something. The lesson (from my point of view) was that Shinji learned to accept his grief but also learned to roll up his sleeves and try to make a better world.
The Mari thing is weird because of the age difference, not to mention their limited interactions.
@@tonyfunk
Yeah anno just wanted to be done the mess that was 2.0 and 3.0 proves he didn’t really have a heart for it because he “Grew out of it” paraphrased from some interviews.
And Mari just just kinda dragged the story down for me, and i feel like she’s just there so that Shinji can be “fixed” easier
@@devildolphin2102 Yeah agreed. As far as Mari goes, she was shoehorned in by Kikuchi Kazuko and Sadamoto so Anno just had to work her in as best he could. That's why she feels like a pointless insert.
Bro color blind because her hair isn't red 💀
All I understand is:
Impact = Annihilation, + cool spears and irl lore mixed in
Ah so these movies are worth watching, I was putting them off because I wasn't certain if they were just copies of the original.
Yes, the first two are similar to the series, but the last two are completely their own thing. I highly recommend watching the rebuild series it's a great addition to NGE.
It changed my life, highly recommended
All I can think about while watching this is Charlie from It's Always Sunny at the cork board with all the strings and pins
LMAOOOO. That's literally how I felt making it.
Where is the information from that Kaworu can only be destroyed by vacuum decay?
He says it himself I the film
wow, this is some serious game theory level stuff but it actually makes sense
I'm glad it helps make sense of it all!!!
Everyone but Shinji and Mari being on the other side of the tracks at the end says it all: Anno, you, me, and everyone who gets it, is done. We finally get to walk away, we get that *closure.* The rest of the cast on the other side, the characters who in many ways were simply tools to tell the story, the people who can't/won't let EVA go... their story can go on, or it can end in any infinite number of ways, but it doesn't, *shouldn't* matter to us. We each live our own lives. Instrumentality was rejected for a reason.
confounding Ultra Man Lore and References... AGAIN!!!!
I know right? Ultraman is inescapable!!!
Big props on this, dude! I don't have any profound things to say, but I hope adding a little extra engagement will help you in the algorithm. You totally deserve it!
Thanks man, I appreciate the extra engagement. You are a gentleman and a scholar!
These videos helped so much in understanding the rebuilds of Evangelion, thank you for making this video series for everyone so we could all understand this amazing story Anno made.
This is just kirby lore
Bro, really cool video. You make sense of things in the whole franchise that I didn't even perceived. A lot of research and connections. Appreciateed.
As a criticism. Maybe this one is too much to digest. I feel like it would have been better to split it up into a series of videos explaining categories on it's own. For example one video connecting the dead sea scrolls (from Eva) to the mesapotemian pantheon one dedicated to explain relationship between Adam, Lilith and Spears and so on. Just as an idea.
That straightforward huh?!
This is awesome. I wish I understood it
I do understand I went a little fast. I'm sure if you paused it in between my points you could get it!
HOLY SHIT... THE REBUILDS ARE A MASTERPIECE. IT ALL MAKES SENSE.
Man…
I Get It
But I Don’t Get It
*sips coffee* Yes but what happens in 3.0+1.01?
Maybe I'll have to make a video on that 🤭
i swear youre so good at explaining, i cant stop listening
I'm glad you find it all easy to follow! I appreciate the feedback! :D
I will say Evangelion was far more complicated before 3.0+1.0 rebuild, it eases my soul knowing i got a large understanding from my watch through alone and only had to fill a few blanks with explained videos rather than the ending neon Genesis original run which left me confused and broken.
.. What youve really done in actuality is highlighted all of these EVA-remakes biggest problems, In no uncertain terms even if you may not realize it.
Where can I watch it
I still don't understand shit
I will never understand anything that happens after 2.22 lmao
Few series have taken this much time to reach a truly satisfying conclusion, but then again few properties are so closely tied to their creator's mental state that until the creator found peace the story was never going to have real closure.
One thing I do question, is why after everything is said and done, Asuka is nowhere and to be seen, and Shinji is with Mari, when he had confessed to Asuka that he had loved her. Yes, I'm aware that "loved" is the important word there, but even if those feelings are no longer present, I don't understand why Asuka ins't there at all. If Rei wasn't there, it would make sense that Asuka wouldn't since that would mean that by making it so that Evangelions never existed that the clones wouldn't either, but that isn't the case since Rei is present. I can only think of 2 explanations for this, the first is that all the other characters are from Japan, and the final sequence shows their lives in Japan, and that Asuka is still living in Germany since the Evas never existed, similar to how she doesn't appear in Neon Genesis Evangelion until about halfway through the series. The other explanation I can think of is that Rei does not exist because of Evangelions, and that Asuka does exist because of Evangelions, which would mean that if Evangelions weren't to exist, neither would Asuka. It's clear that Asuka is a different character in rebuild, since she has none of her trauma that was characteristic of her in Neon Genesis, not to mention having a different name, which is an important distinction to make because it means that we can't definitively say anything about Asuka Langley Shikinami's past that isn't stated, and sadly not a lot about her is stated. I always felt that Asuka was the biggest weakness of Rebuild as a result of all of this. That she wasn't given the same level of importance as the other characters were, especially since it would have made more sense that Asuka would end up with Shinji, but instead Shinji ends up with the nothing character. Despite your points on Mari, I still think there was absolutely nothing that justifies her and Shinji being together in the end, especially when the story finally made it crystal clear that Shinji and Asuka have feelings for one another. The only thing I can think of that would lead to this is if thanks to Evangelions never existing, that Asuka and Shinji would have never met, and if that scene on the beach, mirroring the ending of The End of Evangelion where Shinji and Asuka speak to eachother and Shinji tells her that he loved her, acts as an acknowledgement that they would have been together if given the chance, but without Evangelions it simply wasn't going to happen. Maybe I'm looking to hard at this, but if you care to read all this, I wanna know what you think about Asuka not being present at the end.
Asuka is there at the end, she's to the left.
Too much text, Asuka is present in the end lol
It was thursday and Asuka was busy wishing everyone feliz jueves
Hideaki Sensei clearly include several Philosophy discourses throughout all of EVAs' existence, from Schopenhauer and his deterministic will as it's representation of the world is a side of the estructure, as Nietzsche and it's positive will of power to attain oneself, Mailänder and it's tacit acquiescence of facing life as a hiatus bearing the burden of existence, like a memento, facing life as a twilight. Zappffe, Von Hartman, Bahnsen; (the Rumani Michel Cioran or Albert Caraco). The German _Weltzchmertz_ from the late 19th century still today misunderstood and even confused and misused, rhetorically with vulgar pessimism.
I have a nose bleed.
This is at the same time so confusing and so illuminating. Only EVA could create such a combination.
Man I must say. You did a phenomenal job concluding Evangelion. Bravo. I’m happy for Shinijis ending. I almost cried lol I held back emotions. I got really invested in this anime
I absolutely LOVE and I mean LOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEE how Eva fans can come up with these connections while aknowledging its just for fun and to satisfy our autistic desire for explanations when all know Anno put in religious refferences cause it was neat.
Thank you!!!
1:20 - the best fan name I've seen for these things is "SachiCopters"
Whoaa I had no idea! Thanks for enlightening me!
This channel is criminally underwatched.
Thanks Mr. Emperor, it means a lot to me. 👉👈
The effort and detail you went through… just thank you. I have a much better understanding of what’s maybe my most favorite epic ❤
This series is the be used whenever i force any close friends to go down the Eva rabbit hole. Low key wish whoever rereleases the first thee films would include these videos as special features.
I’m not even halfway through, and I can already feel my brain burning
Honestly Rebuilds werent so bad. Until 3.0+1.0 was released. It was just horrible.
you need way more subs dude this is so good
Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me!!!! :D
What an awesome conclusion to your Eva series! I recently bought the last film, watched it and liked it but your analysis of the cryptic plot points made me to like it far more. The inclusion of the Anunnaki gods make sense as they are basically the fallen angels of genesis 6. Even though I enjoyed the original series and film more I'm pleased most of the characters finally got the happy endings they deserved. Keep up the amazing work on your channel man!
25+ year Eva fan, i just pity anyone who didn't see Shin-Eva in IMAX, it was incredible. you clearly worked hard on this vid (sans pronunciations sometimes, no offense), but i feel like you kinda missed the point at times.
I always saw Eva as how it was pitched: a story of struggling humans (namely Shinji and Misato), and never really worried too much about the fine details you spend so much time on. I'm puzzled at the heavy focus on things like the failures, or the Adams, when the religious references were cosmetic, by GAINAX/Khara staff's own admissions LONG AGO.
This is a story of the human heart, with robots, cute girls, and funky angle shots of power lines because Anno "put everything (he) finds interesting) in." Seeing Misato truly become a mother, and Shinji making peace with her, his father, and Kaworu, then literally growing up, had me sobbing in the theater both times. This was what 15-year-old me hoped for, and I got it for my 40th birthday. I could gaf where exactly the spears came from. but that's me.
Ah yes you earned a sub soon as I seen Eva in the name
Thank you!!! Means a lot!!!
I must have missed something since when was glasses girl relevant at all.
I suppose you could say since this film but really she had no actual bearing to the story other than being there to rescue Shinji from the minus space
@@tonyfunk why not I guess
