The Lost Evangelion AIDS PSA has been Found 

An aids psa directed at one of the least sexually active fandoms

Imagine Shinji finally seducing the girl he likes only to die of AIDs

"one of these young people is killing the other" *insert shinji choking asuka scene*

Remember kids, if you listen these noises coming from your parents room don't worry, they are just killing each other

Shinji and Asuka sex noises: *exists* Hentai animation artists: “It’s free real estate“

To be honest potentially giving her AIDS would only be like the third worst thing Shinji has done to Asuka

I honestly thought it was going to be “unit 1 has AIDS!!” “THIS IS WORSE THAN AN ANGEL ATTACK” “Remember nothing is worse than AIDS”

How does anyone think "Let's make sex sounds for a AIDS PSA" and immediately after "Sex sounds are too realistic" like what did they expected?

Doujins: here's some nsfw Shinji x Asuka fanfic City of Houston: hold my taxes!

Wait, shinjis rant wasn’t a parody, it was real.... oh god

IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOT THE FKIN GUITAR RIFF AT THE END OF THE PSA LIKE LMFAO THAT SENT ME

“Hey, I got paid.” -Spike Spencer, Evangelion Platinum Edition Box Set Commentary, 2004

“That was to d i e for” **extremely loud Seinfeld theme plays**

Why would anyone think hiring anime dub VAs to make sex noises would result in something appropriate to play over the radio?

I kept a straight face all the way until Tiffany said "That was to die for". Freaking PSAs.

was kinda expecting to hear gendo say "aids is humanity's worst killer" and then fuyutsuki say "that is correct. even the evas cannot defend mankind against hiv."

"One of these young people is killing the other" goddamnit, not again

If I ever had sex with someone and they said “That was to die for~!” I’d fear for my safety. No one says that about sex but serial killers.

Asuka: "That was to DIE for!" Mass-Produced Evas: *Smile into the camera*

"One of these young people is killing the other. Can you tell wich?" Me: "Shinji, not again."

Forget the coronavirus, *this* is the event that will go down in history

Shinji: "That was fantastic..." Asuka: "How disgusting."

imagine if this was never found. a few decades down the line, her relatives are clearing out her house, and they find this. They manage to find a old VHS player and play this

Looks like shinji got in something that wasn’t the robot HEYOOOOOOOOO

This is just a recording of an Alternate Universe where Shinji took the hint

"One of these young people is killing the other" "What you think is the beginning of something beautiful could actually be the beginning of the end" "That was to die for" Somehow this has an equal chance of either describing EOE or AIDS

0:00 - here is where the video starts 7:14 - this is where the fun begins

“That was to die for”...”FLY ME TO THE MOON AND LET ME PLA-

“We have the MP3” Me: *turns down volume*

Red: "This is serious and not funny" Me: *dies of laughter*

Wasn't laughing until the "Oh, God!" from Shinji's VA. That was too much

"That [sex] was to die for". Yup, that's Evangelion, alright.

“That was to die for” I can’t stop laughing

So, the lost Evangelion AIDS PSA is so bizarre it feels like a vice city radio ad

"that was to die for" little did the city of Houston know...

Red Bard Is Pretty Much A History Channel For Literally Anything Anime Related, I Mean There’s A Rip Off Giorno Collectible Video, An Ahegao History Video, A Yaoi Paddle History Video, *Everything!*

Man it's gonna be real horrifying when someone animates this.

"It's not funny" You're so extremely wrong

"Both he and she will have aids." *GUITAR RIFF*

The Power Rangers guitar soundtrack really ties all that together.

SO THIS IS THE THING WE WERE NOT PREPARED FOR Let me tell you, you were completely right

"What you can think is the beginning of something beautiful can actually be the beginning of the end" If that isn't the most Eva way of cautioning against unprotected sex

They’re pretty much saying they voice acted to good and had to get rid of it

_oh my god_ I remember being at a panel in 2011 and hearing Tiffany Grant talk about this at a panel… this is an artifact. A _legend._ You, Red Bard, are _absolutely incredible,_ and Tiffany Grant is a true fucking gift.

*Imagine somebody actually tried to make an Evangelion clip montage of this PSA.*

“It is not funny. It’s an AIDS PSA.” Idk man, I was laughing my ass off the whole way through

Evangelion 3.33 + 1.11 You Can (not) Climax That said this better be on the DVD extras when the final rebuild film is released. There is absolutely no reason this should not be forever memorialized in my Evangelion collection!

i died of laughter when shinji said "oh god" i can imagine me not feeling like getting up for school , and my parents hear asuka and shinji getting it on from my orange boombox i always have blasting loud when i sleep. that would be the worst morning ever.

What I find funniest about this is that (unless I'm mistaken) Tiffany Grant's debut role in voice acting was in a 'hentai' (Guy: Double Target), so those PSA organizers REALLY underestimated her qualifications lol

And I thought Gendo triggering Third Impact by shaving was as weird as it got.

Asuka: "That was to DIE for!" Mass-Produced Evas: 𝐏𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐬

Imagine when Shinji came he just screamed

7:15 The real third impact

What would the Shinji and Rei PSA sound like? Shinji: Uhhhh... Mmmm... Uhhhh... Rei: ... Shinji: Oh God... Rei: ... Shinji: Uhhhh... Uhh! Ahhh... That was fantastic. Rei: Are you done? Please get off me.

Met Tiffany Grant in person at a con once. She's pretty nice.

(7:14) Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Audio Leak

The City of Houston!?! An AIDS PSA of an anime for the City of Houston! This is several layers of bizarre.

Bruh I can't take it seriously with that sick guitar riff in the background. Like between the Evangelion nsfw audio, the serious flat address of the narrator and the dude just shredding in the back, it just all comes together to create an almost surreal experience.

I KNOW ITS SERIOUS BUT THAT WAS HILARIOUS 💀

"ah, that was fantastic" _"WAS IT NOW, STUPI-SHINJI?"_

Sorry kid, LCL is closed, due to angel aids

I still maintain that an Eva condom needs to be printed like an entry plug.

The FUCKING GUITAR SOLO sent me

THAT FLY ME TO THE MOON MONOLOGUE WAS REAL I THOUGHT IT WAS A MEME LMFAOOOOOOO

Hands up, everyone who thought this was going to be a late April Fools joke until the PSA started playing. (raises hand)

So this is what really killed Kaji

"oh yeah shinji" "oh yeah asuka" "oh yeah shinji" "oh yeah asuka" "oh yeah shinji" "oh yeah asuka"

"this is not funny, this is a aids psa" meanwhile Im crying of laughter

7:15 for Aids PSA for those who like to throw themselves into a fire without any warning

Redbard: It's an Evangaelion PSA Me: Ok Redbard: About AIDS Me: Well that's weird but they literally do everything else Redbard: For the city of Houston Me: THE WHAT!

Being exposed to all that LCL, it was only a matter of time one of them would have tested positive. If I were one of them I'd sue NERV for gross negligence. They should have been put on PrEP!

This is the peak of humanity. It's been honor, gentlemen. Thanks for everything. I love you all.

"That was to die for" Wow

Evangelion: the gift that keeps on giving lol

I had the pleasure of meeting Tiffany Grant some years ago and she was so funny and I'm glad she enjoys the series and character as much as her fans.

That cut to Shinji's hand and the "that was fantastic" was the funniest thing I've seen in ages

I love it when lost media is no longer lost

"It could actually be the beginning of the end" Is that supposed to be a JOKE

I keep forgetting how much of a mega fan Tiffany Grant is of Asuka. So one can only imagine her face when Spike joined her to do this ad. It had to have been a dream come true for her, and other Asuka fans.

the real ending of Evangelion

Tiffany Grant is an absolutely lovely person for digging up that old ass tape. Given her body of work, who even knows how long that might have taken her.

One of them is slowly killing the other. *cut to Shinki choking Asuka*

Red Bard: "NOT funny" Me: *cackling*

This is... SO Evangelion. It sounds exactly like how sex would be in that show. Bittersweet and awkward.

Shinji: "Misato, can I still get AIDS if me and my partner were both virgins?" Misato: "Dammit, Shinji, I told you your hand doesn't count as a relationship!"

Well this is a video I didn't expect to see in my sub box today.

The worst/best part is in my opinion that this intimate interweaving of sex and death is 100% on brand with EVA's storytelling. Setting that aside, I find it really cool how you actually acquired this. It reminds me of the way that Petrea Burchard - the original voice of Ryoko for Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki - has for years stayed incredibly active in the Tenchi Muyo! fan community in the West. She even had a voice cameo at the end of an obscure little abridged series. I think it's really cool how a lot of these voice actors have held onto this affection for those older dubs that you kind of don't get to see anymore with dubbing becoming bigger and more centralized. On the one hand, it's good that voice actors can now seriously make a career off of dubbing anime. But, I can't help but really think that I'd miss it if voice actors lost that really intimate connection with particular fandoms for the projects where they kind of got their start, at least in terms of anime dubs. Wow this really turned into a ramble, huh? I don't know why I've talked this long! Why are you still reading this? Go get a bite to eat! Say hi to your family, maybe make a phone call to someone you haven't touched base with in a hot minute. Stay hydrated, okay? And stay safe.

This is one of the greatest things I've ever heard. Also, I met Tiffany at conventions a couple times back in the late 90s. She is a real sweetheart.

I hope this gets Evangelion branded condemns into the market

People: Ah that's interesting Porn Artists: (LENS FLARE EYES)

YES! I remember hearing the commentary that mentioned this, and I'M SO HAPPY it finally saw the light of day! Now, if only we could find that one End of Evangelion outtake where Gendo says "This is ridiculous, I know I put my keys in here somewhere".

I just can’t imagine shinji and asuka ever building up to a situation where they would do that

*Shinji and Asuka moaning* ONE OF THESE PEOPLE IS HIV POSITIVE AND DOESN'T EVEN KNOW IT

Idk why "too real" is bad for PSA like this. If anything it makes the message more clear.

Holy cow I can totally hear Shinji and Asuka in the PSA. LOL

But here's the real question. Did Spike just contact her about it because she was a good voice actress... or did the troll gears in his head start turning first?

7:12 "That was fantastic" "That was to die for" _im sweating_

oh my god.... only in texas

7:58 to this day me and my friends still say “that was to die for!” 😭😭

"That was fantastic! / That was to die for." All we need now is a courageous fan to do the animation and make it match the noises... Anyone up for the project?
