  • what is he saying is there an live action movie???? :D

  • @reemstrrr no what he's saying is tht there is a rebuild of the series but not in live action, just better high quality so is an easier way for new fans to get to know the series;D

  • It's a shame you aren't counting fanfics. Shinji and Warhammer 40k is better than the canon. Has all the same plots going on, except shinji is more self-aware, and has a spine.

  • Love how this was the very first anime I watched from start to finish. I was so confused...

  • Wii of anime4breakfast,tv likes this idea and would love to work with you"..

  • Once I got done watching EVA, I wanted to headbutt the TV and start shit on fire. It was a good show up until ep. 18 where Misato slept with her ex. That's where it went all down hill for me. The last three-four episodes almost drove me nuts!

  • I dont like how the movie ends. Y does it have to be so jacked up and sad

  • i think people say mindfuck because it is very hard to understand, its just the average-joe response to something which others call abstract. mindfuck=abstract

  • dam I finaly finished it and well "dam" that was a "wow" so much for my 5 anime movie it scared the shit out of me

  • ok I m not the type of person who watches anime but this was really good.

    I didnt understan it b/c I watched it in japanees and it was on youtube but

    it was a hell of a series

  • I first saw end of evangelion when i was 10... maybe 11. Let me just say that's the kind of stuff that you dont wanna see at that age. I didn't understand most of it and it scared the crap out of me.

    Nowadays i understand it a lot better.... still scares the crap outta me though.

  • Well, I kind of disagree with what you said about the whole "Mind Fuck" statement. It's more of an acid-trip ,kind of like "Pink Floyd The Wall". Both were written in a sublime/horrific setting with both creaters, Anno and Waters, that were having a spell of depression. And the animation had the same scene of sublime. IF you did watch Pink Floyd The Wall, you would probobly see what I mean. But over all, the series was awesome, and the same goes for The Wall.

  • Hehe, I bought that box set today at FYE for 25 bucks. Looking forward to seeing the cut episodes.

  • then the series wud be less controversial, since the characters' personalities stemmed from Anno

  • death is basically a recap of the tv series, and rebirth is kind of the first half of the end of eva movie. Basically the end of eva movie is the only movie you need to watch

  • i heard that the writer or something was like in a weird mental state or depressed when he wrote the series or something if that's true then dam he can write good stuff even in a weird mental state XD this one of my fav animes XD

  • Yes Anno was depressed when he directed eva

  • omg lucky you have the video set XD i watched it only lol and is that a asuka and rei figures in the background?

  • this is one of the greatest animes ever made truley great im so glad your doing this project i wish you the best of luck and cant wait to see more responses and videos on this

    i only wish i had a camera to respond any how

    i look forward to seeing more

  • the first installment is indeed up right now, go check it out. It's in the playlist.

  • My memory of the series is not so good, but if I remember correctly, there was an episode where shinji, ray, and osuka (I think that's the German girl's name) are locked out of NERV, anf they are all looking at the sky, and shinji says: "If angels are creatures of God, why are they trying to hurt us?" or something along those lines, does anyone remember that? Or is that just in my head, well if it's real, what are your thoughts on this? For some reason that always struck me as beautiful.

  • Yes, there is something said to that effect. However, the word "angel" is not quite the correct word. The Japanese word used is more directly translated to "disciple" but Gainex specifically told translators to use "angel." Ultimately whether the angels are working for God is irrelevant for several reasons. 1) The religious terms and symbols are making no larger commentary. 2) The show clearly states that it is not known exactly where the angels come from and what their origins are.

  • That's interesting, but I still find that quote really meaningful, despite what was lost in translation in the dubbed version.

  • Yeh but it's still odd that Shinji questions if they are from God, why are we fighting them. I think it matters somewhat.

  • @ngamer3k We also dont know where SEELE comes from. It could be possible SEELE could be an extra-terrestrial or even interdimensional gov't that sent the angels.

  • make it dawg.

  • running a little behind, expect something by Sunday.

  • i could be wrong (and probably am) but i beleive that her last words of "how disgusting" are refering back to around episode 22 (not sure) where it shows rei, asuka, and misato tell shinji (in his mind) to pick him, and to me it looks like he picks asuka

  • awesome asuka and rei figures you got back there. could you perhaps tell me where you got them? :>

  • I got them on eBay.

  • niceeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

  • .....will trying to preserve the quiet pain known as "Safety"? A metaphor for America crushing Japan and creating the desperate people in the show? The implications are endless, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

  • About the ending of Evangelion, the two are the same only change is the perspective. Black and White vs Color film does not make the subject material different.

    And the power of the show is the weaving done by Anno that lets the viewer choose the answer to any implications. Every issue at the beginning is a lie, the answers later are opinions of the characters. Genius.

    Are the Angels agents of foretold God's Apocalypse? A Human-triggered Apocalypse? Agents of their own.....

  • The great work has begun anew...E-Project commences. \o/

    And yes, this is still the best anime until something, absolutely honest, intense and well-choreographed comes from the cesspool that is now The Industry. Hell, even Gainax is whoring out Anno's masterpiece. -_- Btw, those new movie is SPECTACULAR to look at, but will leave the fanChildren a little sore with the rough ride. Still amazed they CAN pump something into the mold and not break it?...

  • just making sure you pay attention to the statements i put alot of incorrect statements in there

  • shinji becomes a god and starts the world over by becoming 'adam' and chooses 1 of his fellow eva pilots to become 'eve' then she says how disgusting. THE END see simple

  • Maybe to you it is simple. BTW you are inaccurate with some of your statements.

  • i wouldn't say shinji is a god you know i mean the choice came up that he could end it all or start the world anew without the viewer really noticing so that doesnt necasserally mean he is a god. and also the last scene where he sees his mother i believe is him passing to the physical world while she moves to the spirit world. and there is alot more to that so i wouldn't really say it is simple. :)

  • a kid finds out his dad is in charge of a giant military orginization he becomes a pilot of giant robot meets the other pilots they kill a couple angels while his dad conspires with another organization to create the third impact (a giant explosion to destroy the entire human race) to be reborn as a single allpowerful allknowing entity/god but he is betraying them so the human race can live on and so he can be with his dead wife. that sums up the series i will continue to the movie.(1 more post

  • the series obviously questions the human nature mind soul and heart but what i think i got from it most is that everyrthing is a cycle and will continue forever it may take time but events will always repeat themselves im not talking about like people being born or anything like that but major events such as the beginning of the human race. and as for what happened in the series its pretty easy to sum up.(ill continue in next post

  • I dont get why every one in the series turns into orange goo when rei touches them i know it is the end of the world but why orange goo?

  • I geuss the big wigs of the Eva companies want humans to evolve faster, so they use powers of the Angels to break the mini-sheilds around our souls and reduces us to orange goo and into one giant entity. Its really weird stuff... makes your mind trip a bit. I really dont know why I even care, I dont watch anime and hate most of it but ive got a soft spot for deep storylines. The makers (or one of them) had depression so I can see why its so weird in the ending.

    INeedToQuitThinkingAboutThis..­.

  • what i dont understand about evangelion is why it is so popular and why people say there is a deep meaning behind the story and all that. when i watched it alls i saw was a boy, who in my view is a complete pansy and him struggling to destroy the angels.

    my brother also watched it and hes a college student getting 4.0's and his intake on the series was that the action and storyline were okay, but the endin made the show into a complete nightmare (i mean 1.5 eps on shinji and his mind, sucky end

  • Maybe when starting this we or you should start off by saying what an Eva is which we should know, but they do not explain what they use in the movie or anime fully let alone not enough as the blood it is really us the 18th angel but in . . sorry i am confussed on what i am typing . . i wounder do you have a forum somewere that i could join? cause well i am a fan like everyone else and well i am still understanding the series

  • I had considered a forum, but I don't want to bother until there's more support. Tell any fans you know!

  • I understand I am doing more reasearch into the

    Eva series. I am reading the Angelic Days I think. I wish there could more people who would come on out and do this.

    For some reason I cannot get Death and Rebirth, I got it up to the part where it is Shinji is about to kiss Asuka in her sleep.

    But the movie it is supposed to be a four part thing right? is it live action, or animated?

  • If you're talking about Rebuild, yes it is four animated movies that are retelling Eva so it would be clearer to the masses. However, there has been rumblings of a Hollywood produced live-action film. Since it seems Rebuild might deviate from the original series too far for my liking, I'm going to pretend it doesn't exist for now.

  • ok since I have got that out of th way about the media how about ppl actually start talking about the anime? ='D

    How many people are doing this besides me? OwO

    --I am going to rewatch Eva and EoE again :D--

  • As a reference to the Apocryphal stories and Evangelion is a half-breed between Mankind and Nephilim(fallen angels,demons). Their physiology abandons all the logical rules of living on Earth and so throws off the local population's chances at survival. Leading to the Great Flood to drown them all slowly as they cannot float and their blood is presumably fire. Noah, was the messenger of their destruction and also an albino which probably meant he was also one.......

  • ...one himself. In Evangelion Anno goes as far to imply that life in the local area of The Flood was saved by using an Evangelion's "womb" as an Ark, which would imply that the giant "boat" Noah had to build was simply a coffin.

    Hope that clears that up. Eva and thet Bible are freaking disturbing. ])- Love them so...

  • I just know the series and the two movies so I don't know about the other forms of evangelion so do you think you could elaborate on them more.

  • Problem is I don't know that much about them myself. All I know is that just about every last dollar (yen) has been sucked out of this series through various spin-offs and retellings. But I might do a video on Rebuild of Evangelion if I can find out more info, or better, have a chance to watch it.

  • I look forward to seeing your videos on this subject come up!

  • Go for it! I am a huge fan of Evangelion, own the series and have watched it several times. I would love to discuss Eva keep this project up!

  • Rebuild seems like a revisionary work, more than a straight remake, I was kind of hoping they would do a straight remake with a different take on the ending. Anyway, as for questions... What themes did you pick get from the series overall? Do you think the TV ending and EoE both have a different message to get across?
