Honestly the logic behind it is so fitting for kaji. If the world ends and he dies, it dosent really matter what he does, but if they save the world, the melons still have to be watered
Wow. This is actually a really well done edit of an Evangelion episode. The plot's still all there, there's no shitty loud angsty punk-rock music blasting over the entire video, and there's even english captions! Thanks. :)
the angel breached into nerv command room actually helps shinji get closer to it. if he fought it along with asuka, he would've also get smacked by angel's long ranged fire power. shinji's sulking created that opportunity.
Now if this trailer had aired 25 years ago I can only imagine how many more people around the world would’ve checked it out sooner. It’s a brilliant combination between the original series and the styling and music of the rebuilds. The music is just god tier now.
I have no words, this edit is so amazing, you really managed to catch the essence of the show in a few scenes. High resolution, very emotional. Thank you so much for this. I deeply love it.
Just... God damn. You know you're one of the most iconically 'burned into peoples minds' scenes in anime, when you don't even need to SHOW what happens after Eva-1 wakes up.
god damn i love classic zeruel's design, perfect design of destiny: unstoppable, slow moving while taking its sweet ass time, never strays from its path and lets nothing stand in its way, and most of all simple and not complicated to look at.
When you imagine the level of violence, despair and sadness in the serie, you can imagine the conflicting feelings of depression that Hideki Anno had when he produced this anime! xD
It's a travesty that Kaji can treat Shinji more respect and kindness when he's deciding not to pilot the Eva, than any of the girls can when he's saving the world.
He didn't do most of the damage his mom had to save him that's why this thing is way more epic in the rebuilds because he's doing what he wants to do not because he's the only one left
The visuals of this show still blow me away. You could pause this video at any time, and you will be looking at a work of art. This story had the potential to end so well, but after this episode everything just spirals into nonsensical depressing chaos, with an overlying message of "COMMIT SUICIDE". It's like everyone involved just went fucking insane after this episode.
When in an Eva u suffer the same pain as the eva does. Since your nerves are connected with it. So a loss of limb or damage to any body part will feel like it has happened with your own body in real even though it hasn't. That's really painful, knowing how they loose head and arms sometimes and get stabbed at several places. Imagine the pain an Eva pilot has to go through
Well it depends on the sync ratio actually - if the eva and pilot are asuka in eoe level in sync, the wounds to the eva will result in the same physical trauma to the pilot. That's how shinji was able to survive a laser beam through Eva 01 in episode 1. By this point in the show as well, asuka is in a shit state mentally, so her sync is weak and hence the pain of severed Eva arms wouldn't be so severe
This is a genuinely phenomal work of editing - you should have this on a reel to show around, there's about a million new animes a year that could do with such concise storytelling
3:08 I would love to know what these guys are thinking in this moment. Hell, I want to know what's going on in Zeruel's head! What drives him to try to kill a few humans in his path with his eye beams? This moment signifies the real unknowns and horrors in humanity's war with the Angels.
