  • this song really does go so well with Evangelion.

  • can you re-upload in HD? great vid!

  • @snake109

    I wish I could, but I lost the original files when my hard drive crashed. I could theoretically remake it, but I dunno if I have the patience

  • Simple and eloquent, great job.

  • Johnny Cash makes everything better.

  • This is so sad

  • Best. AMV. Ever.

  • leve it to Johnny Cash to make this even more amazing

  • ... I just realized we're just a bunch of nerds...

  • @MrSoAwesomness

    I for one love being a nerd

  • Excellent!! Simple, well edited, elegant.

  • in the 2:11 at 2:20 are from the evangelion 1.0 you are not alone ??

  • Gendo's shadow bone!!

  • @CaptianRico93

    lol nice

  • best amv without any actual video editing. Masterfully put together.

  • This is my favorite AMV. Good song, one of my favorite anime (though really, I haven't seen much anime. Or much of NGE, for that manner). In this AMV's case, less is definitely more. It's hard to make a good AMV of "Hurt" with a video of robot battles and a bunch of Heroic Sacrifices every now and again, that's more Pendulum's thing.

    You're pretty awesome at AMVs, Keep at it.

  • ty if you didn't make it it was the only freaking amv with johny cash's hurt

    i mean fuck...

  • Very well put together. Good job with the choice of clips and arrangement.

  • I nearly cried at the second "my empire of dirt", where Shinji kicks his sand castle... Very powerful moment there. This AMV has great timing, and I agree with the person who said this doesn't need any more effects.

  • this was a powerful amv damn good job

  • you know when this version debuted i thought of making an amv using and using eva. but i can rest assured that there is an excellent amv existing already. Excellent job my god sire. Truly a great piece of work.

  • wow, for your first AMV that was pretty awesome. kudos.

  • Anyone saying you need to have sound effects in here is a moron. This was utterly wonderful.

  • atleast this amv has a point instead of jst killing alot of shit with blood and eveything 5/5

  • great job, this is excellent!

  • brilliant... simply brilliant mate... think you had great sync between video and the song. I've subscribed and will check your other vids dude but this is really refreshing and interesting... you just made me wanna watch EVA again LoL :P

  • Best AMV I have ever seen. I watch it everyday! This is my favorite anime of all time. And this is my current favorite song right now. This song fits the anime so well! Great job!

  • Nice

  • Very well done and creepy, my fav anime and one of my fav songs

  • Very plain, needs little more SFX. Also, I suggest with a song like this, make the screen a little darker in slow parts of the song and shiny in the higher parts. 4/5, learn more about Sony Vegas and you could do great.

  • @EEEdoman well, to be honest, this was more of an experiment about editing. Ive seen AMVs with effects that were very, very well done, but that just isnt my style. Although the lightness/darkness contrast suggestion is pretty good, never thought about that. I think the only "effect" I used was where you see the Misato cross transition at 3:36

  • @DavidSeth2

    I appreciate this form, the effects would take away from the true art form. The lighter/darker maybe, but this is very very good style. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you for making this.

  • @EEEdoman

    i think it's better that it's simple, it's a simple song. i think too many effects would make it look shitty like a lot of other AMVs that go overboard with the effects. i actually think the editting and choice of scenes to use works real well, good job davidseth.

  • @VlogVerite

    Thanks. I've always been a fan of the "less if more" approach to film editing.

  • @VlogVerite agreed, any effects you had would have to be very subtle

  • since you said you like my amvs would you mind if i posted my newest one as a video response to this? if not thats fine

  • @onepiecefan74 no worries, go ahead and post it. 

  • fantastic i love this amv. i saw this at my friends house last year and its what got me in to making amvs. so i would just like to say thank you makeing this amv because with out it i thought a good eva amv would be imposable to do

  • @onepiecefan74

    you got some talent, that's for damn sure. I don't know how to use After Effects (assuming that's what you use to make your vids). Anyway, I'm glad that I was able to "inspire" you to make some kick ass amvs. Keep up the good work. I have, to this date, only made one other amv, but youtube would not let me upload it because its a "copyrighted" song. Really ticked me off

  • @DavidSeth2 I hate copyright claims they wouldnt let me upload some of my amvs. thanks for the complement and no i dont use after effects( i dont know what that is) i just use whats avalibale in sony vegas

  • @blackstarzero Well, the fact that my AMV moved you in such a way is a great complement. Thank you. I'm glad you like it. But my AMV wouldn't be anything without such a great song. The song alone moved me to tears the first time I heard it. Trent Reznor's lyrics and Johnny Cash's aging vocals makes it one powerful piece.

  • whos this guy 1:11?

  • @OMNIenforcer15

    Thats Shinji's very special friend

  • @DavidSeth2 can you tell me his name and is he one of the protagonist in the story or antagonist?

  • @OMNIenforcer15

    His name is Kaworu Nagisa. He has a minor role, but is very important. He is the 5th Child and has a major part in the end of the original Evangelion series as well as the movie End of Evangelion.

  • @OMNIenforcer15

    Evangelion is a bit too complex to label him as an antagonist or protagonist. It would lean more so towards antagonist, but they are friends and enemies.

  • whats better this series or gundam seed?

  • @OMNIenforcer15

    This series is the best anime I have watched in my entire life. I would recommend this anime over all others.

    There is the original series, death and rebirth (it was like a look back through, not that good.) End of evangelion which tied up the series. Then there is Rebuild of evangelion (the story is altered a bit and it was graphically improved.)

    Last but not least they are making a high budge live action film. There budget is bigger than matrix, so it should be good.I hope

  • +favorite.

  • This could be the introduction to Re-take...

  • @C603032 why retake? why not rebuild?. re take is a doushinji, in reality its not that important. It would be easy to remake an NGE to fit the preferences of the general public, at least it was better than angelic days.... however I dont like the way Ayanami gets alienated, if he knew what was to come than he would know she only defied gendo in the end for his sake, yes he needs asuka however rei was also insturmental to his development.

  • A.W.E.S.O.M.E

    This is just perfect. Perfect.

  • Many Japanese characters are 'emo', their destiny is 2 do important&difficult things, that's a big pressure, & pressure can make things harder or squeeze them. It's also normal 4 every teen 2 feel the pressure of becoming an adult, teenager angst is very common. Emos bear that pressure the way you all know, it may not be the best one, but who could tell what is best? I'm not a teen any more, dunno if I ever was emo (I h8 labels), but under big pressures, like now, I like 2 watch evangelion amvs

  • You really captured the pain that Shinji goes through- a lot of people just pass him off as being emo, and it's refreshing to see someone recognize the emotional torment that follows him.

    Basically, I am a HUGE eva fan, and I really loved this video. Especially the end. Keep up the good work!

  • @catconfuser

    I've always hated it when people consider Shinji "emo". Can't people grasp the situation he was in? Dead mother, absent father, the world was in chaos, and now giant unknown beings were attacking. Who wouldn't be a little depressed and "emo" during these times? Especially a teenager. I remember watching this show when I was 17 and I really connected with Shinji. Such a flawed human, just like the rest of us. I guess most people watch anime for escapism, not reality.

  • @DavidSeth2 soo true, god what is emo? its soo pervasive nowadays that people cant tell anymore what is "emo" and someone or something that is trully FUcked up. when people start realizing this they will see this anime in a different light.

  • @DavidSeth2 ironically isn't that the whole thing that evangelion was supposed to be a protest to?

    If someone pulled me off the street and told me i had to kill the biggest mofo i have ever seen with my bear hands, and if i didn't he'd kill me and everyone would die because of my faillure (oh, don't worry, we'll coach from a safe fortresss underground), I'd probably break down and piss my pants. maybe it's a stretch, but that's the best analogy I have for his predicament

  • @DavidSeth2 If only everyone could understand that. Ohh and thumbs up to the vid, I posted a Eva AMV with the same song. XDDD but yours really beat the hell out of mine. *Favs*

  • @Sabersonicdude Well, I watched your Eva Hurt amv, and I gotta say I liked the direction you went with it. A lot of amv's usually tend to be random scenes from a movie/series set to the music. But you chose a great theme and stuck with it. The only problem with doing an amv with Gendo and Shinji is the fact that most of the time you see Gendo, hes either just staring blankly or talking (while staring blankly). That kind of sucks, because its such a great idea.

  • @DavidSeth2 Thank you very much. ^^ And yeah your right, LOL I had a hard time with Gendo because, well that is all he does.(Most the time)

    Any way Im glad you liked it, and I like yours to. :) Oh and I like the direction of yours to, Its like shinji is talking to everyone he let die in the third impact he caused.

  • Beautiful work! Everything matched up perfectly.

  • ...remember it's a NIN cover :)

  • i really like the first chorus with the flashing images. brilliant.

  • @MarTeamMK

    thanks. it was my somewhat lame attempt to show that Shinji loses all the women that were close to him... though, I guess Asuka was with him in the end. eh, I guess chalk it up to artistic license lol.

  • Brilliant.

  • I like in rebuild of Evangelion when they rebuild *Snickers* Anyways that was quite a good combo using hurt. It's good to see AMV's use different genres then.. Well I'm sure your well aware of the list. Keep it up mate

  • dude, this was deep. Very genial.

  • That was great! Thanks so much. I've never seen the actual anime, but it looks terribly interesting. Thanks again!

  • Awesome! Glad you liked it. If you do end up watching it, make sure to see the series first, and then movie End of Evangelion.

  • Yeah i found the other one last night it was very similar you didn't know so don't worry you both made very good videos

  • I actually like this one better. The other one was full of clip choices I thought were rather silly - the editor matched scenes to the literal lyrics rather than the actual mood of the song and it seemed a little hackneyed to me. So good job DavidSeth2.

  • i can't think of a better song too play on evangelion great work

  • thanks. It just kinda seemed to fit. Both Evangelion as well as the official video for "Hurt" (not to mention the song itself) deals with mortality.

  • i couldn't agree more. i think thats why this show and this song are favorite's of mine and honestly i can't believe no one else thought about pairing these two together great job. mortality is a burden we all have too deal with, it does "hurt"

  • actually... i am not the first to make an Eva amv using this song. Sadly, after I made this one, I tried doing a youtube search for my video, and came across someone else's... and it had a very similar feel to what i have made. i feel bad, because it may seem like i ripped him/her off. But I did not see it until i had already made and posted mine. oh well.

  • Exelent amv

    Exelent Music

    I love Evangelion

    ***** ;)

  • thanks. evangelion was one of the first anime tv shows that i watched. They used to show it on sunday nights (un-editited) on the local pbs... good times.

  • This song really fits the anime. I like how you used Rebuild of Evangelion, and the video and sound quality are really good. I made a few Neon Genesis Evangelion videos myself, and I am working on making some better ones. Check them out on my profile.

  • yeah i really enjoyed the Rebuild movie, sadly its very dark. I mean that literally. Its hard to watch some of the scenes without turning up the brightness on the monitor way up (and of course some of the clips i used had to be from the poorly lit scenes).

  • It was sad, depressing, and it made you feel bad. It is perfect. Very good job!!

  • dude that shits hella clean
