It's somewhat ironic to me that Evangelion has a reputation of being depressing. I mean, yeah, the show can be a downer most if the time (although it does a good job of injecting a lot of comedy to offset all the bleakness), but the ultimate message at the climax of the End of Evangelion is actually an uplifting one: "Anywhere can be paradise as long as you have the will to live. After all, you are alive, so you will always have the chance to be happy. As long as the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth exist, everything will be all right."

The theories are fine but I thought the execution was poor. Throughout the series we get a balance of internal and external conflict but the end seemed like an excessive amount of internal conflict. The movie took away some of that disappointment.

Only a director diagnosed with clinical depression could’ve made such a lonely anime. Probably why the last several episodes are, as the video describes, “a psychotherapy session”. This anime is a true bearing of an artist’s soul, and I admire it for that.

I actually just finished this anime yesterday, and then watched The End of Evangelion this morning. This anime actually really helped me through a dark time that I’m going through rn. I recently was taken to a psychiatrist after being told to by a doctor that said I showed very concerning signs of depression and suicide. And because of that now a good chunk of my family knows that I was close to cutting myself with a kitchen knife, so it’s really weird now. I relate a lot to Shinji and a lot of what he was going through was near identical to what I’m going through. This show came around at a good time.

ah, evangelion. come for the epic mecha battles, stay for the deeply rooted trauma.

I've watched this anime 3 times. once when I was in high school and didn't really get much out of it beyond crazy kids and cool fighitng robots. at that time I could only really understand the latent sexual frustration of the characters. the second time I watched it was in my early 20s when dealing with depression and loneliness. and I think that on this watching I picked up more about what it was trying to say than I grasped consciously. Now in my late 20s I just recently went and rewatched my dvd box set due to the netflix hype. and on this watching I think I finally understood everything this show was trying to convey. It doesn't just show the deepest pits of loneliness and despair, it also shows the way out. only by getting past your fear of confronting people, letting yourself be vulnerable and accepting can you experience real intimacy and love. Overall I'm glad I watched it this last time as it really gave me insight into how I have progressed emotionally throughout my life, and made me feel a lot better about where I am.

Great analysis as always, but I feel like a major talking point was left out; Evangelion's creator Hideaki Anno. The series (and to a certain extent the Rebuild movies) were his criticism of the growing otaku mindset of escaping further into fantasy rather than contending with the difficulties of daily life. Eva lures you in with the promise of smartly animated monster-of-the-week fights and relatable characters before it ridicules you for consciously choosing escapism over the necessary tasks of building and maintaining a healthy life. The downward spiral of the main cast also corresponds to Anno's own deteriorating mental health. More so than his past works, Eva became the means by which he vented his own struggles with otaku obsession and the pain and isolation that comes with it. Shinji's eventual mental breakdown and ensuing destruction of mankind in instrumentality was Anno shouting at the audience how escapism would be the death of viewers themselves. And, just as everyone interprets the same experience differently, fans chose to view Eva differently than what Anno envisioned. The Eva pilots meant to enlighten viewers about the dangers of escapist obsession became the idols of otaku culture for decades to come. The last two episodes and End of Eva's message of accepting the pain of reality was met with scorn and death threats by fans who felt this world they were invested in had been taken from them in the worst possible way. Basically, Anno had done to anime what Alan Moore had done to comics with Watchmen. He deconstructed the genre down to its core, hoping to inject some meaningful message to viewers, and instead created the template by which many would follow without understanding what made it significant. Its no small wonder Anno checked into a mental institution after finishing the series. So, that's my overly-long comment on Eva. A fantastic series, but its also a rorschach painting that will devour you if you gaze at it too long. Enjoy watching it, but don't forget to eat, exercise and talk with friends in between binge sessions. Or you could cure any nihilistic depression brought on by Evangelion with the ass-kicking optimism of Gurren Lagann. That's also a good idea.

If you mean this anime didn't make you discover any concept you didn't already know of and/or teach you anything new about it and that's what you expected from it, then you're probably right. But i don't think its purpose was either... references are only reference and don't replace the meaning of the whole work.

I just finished this show and the movie for the first time. I was traumatized for two days. This artwork has the power to change people, for better or for worse. It holds up a giant mirror to your own life and forces change. I’m choosing to live better. Massive respect for this series.

For some further reading, the ending of the show where Shinji is discussing how he can’t really exist without others is ripped straight from Hegel. Hegel’s Concept is a cycle of “self-recognition in otherness.” We as humans cannot see ourselves without others, ‘see’ meaning a literal and metaphorical sense. Instrumentality in the show is basically death because without the interactions with others and without our individuality we cease to be anything. A combined consciousness would eventually just stop being because it would have nothing to interact with.

I don't know about the English dub, but in the Japanese, Gendo states that only the original Rei has a soul, and all the clones don't. That's why they physically fall apart so much, and why Rei is so often covered in bandages. Her A.T. field is too weak to maintain her body. It's also implied that the reason none of the clones have a soul is because the original Rei's soul is in Unit 00, explaining why it perfectly syncs with Rei, but goes berserk when Shinji tries to pilot it.

yeah, it will, when it actually does xD

I don't really get how people feel existential crisis after watching the anime, the series finale resolves every bit of fear to existence astonishingly, I've never, ever witnessed such caring for these themes by any author in history. Anno was precise to find a narrative direction to these kind of ideas, the contortion of anguish in front of the abyss, even though he didn't resolve the dramaturgical demanding. But who cares, really. The last two episodes are so unique, and so well done.

This video perfectly explained basically everything I would want to understand about Evangelion. I was going mad and was so confused after watching the last two episodes and the part right before the end of the movie.

This analysis is missing another reading level: Hideaki Anno wrote Evangelion also as a criticism towards otaku culture where people would choose to withdraw from the world in order to not be hurt by it and where they would find comfort in forms of escapism such as anime, and he was able to represent that state of mind because he's an otaku himself. However, as in the final stages of the story, his message is to face reality and try to connect with people over and over because, basically living in a state of constant escapism is not real life and it can't lead to a satisfying existence. Also, the religious analysis is interesting and this is actually the first time I ever heard or read anything about it because Anno said all the religious imagery was inserted in the story for no particular reason but just because "it sounded cool". However, since it seems to make sense, I guess I'll just choose to believe he explained it that way because he couldn't be arsed to put all of that into words for the press lol Anyway, a correction: it's pronounced Kaworu, not Kowaru.

@Lolzor87a

Sorry but you're confusing the new remake of Evangelion and the original one. Anno answered on a interview regarding why he did a remake of Evangelion (and in such a different style), and said that the remake was indeed a criticism towards the otaku culture _that evangelion contributed to_. He also said to not read too much into the symbolism, and at one point even criticized internet discussions around it. For the original Evangelion, The core concept of the story/anime was made while Anno took time off from animation after finishing "Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water", followed by severe burnout and depression. Anno as a person also went in and out of depression and focusing 1000% on art several times (he even tried suicide twice). So no, Evangelion is not a criticism toward otaku culture (the remake is though). Until this day, He don't really want to talk about Evangelion, and is OK with fans having their own theories. My guess would be that all the symbolism and the depression and human interaction theme around Evangelion spurn from his internal conflicts and soul search.

I've been watching several videos about Evangelion from my favourite channels. It was a good suprise discovering that Wisecrack had one. On this video I've seen some interesting new view over the anime. Thanks a lot, it was brilliant. It seems like getting something new from Evangelion is a never ending pleasure

Evangelion had so much impact in my life. My fave anime EVER. Nothing comes above it. I've watched this anime at least 3x, as different ages and it surprises me how different i react to the scenes. I watched this anime when i was like 10. I did NOT understand any of it. Quite the same as the kids in the show. Just all i did was protest why the adults cant understand the children. I watched the anime again when i was around 19. I finally understood the plot, thank god. But hey it felt so much different. I started telling that life is not always fair, and even adults have their own wishes, wills, and they also need to be understood. Yet from my age i still cannot fathom the decisions made by the adults. Then i rewatched it when i was around 24. My goodness, i literally understood how the adults thought. I also get impatient with the whims of children. I understood why the adults told those lines, why they acted like that. Now im almost 30 and see this world in a hopeless case. I quite agree as to why old people just wants to undergo instrumentality. Humanity is in so much pain, that the only relief would be another genesis. And im mad that the future of humanity (in the anime) rests in the hands of a child who just wishes to be loved. I will watch this anime over and over as i get older.

...Alright. Let me see if I've got Evangelion figured out, and can put it in a concise little nutshell. At its core, Evangelion is about the pain & loneliness of isolation vs the pain & anxiety of being with others, and accepting the inevitable suffering that comes with existing is the way towards living a better, happier life. It's better to put yourself out there, learn to live with the flaws of yourself & others, than to run away. ...Okay. I think I got it. I understand why a lot of people like it.

But let me explain what I mean for this silly little concept I made up a name for (which probably has an official name elsewhere) Holden Caulfield Syndrome: Where the main character and/or lens for the viewer/reader is so un-charismatic, negative, and overwhelmingly unpleasant to follow, that it drags down the entire experience. There is a reason given for why they are the way they are, but it doesn't affect the experience enough, or change the light they are presented in. At the same time, there can be aspects of the character that appeal/interest the reader, but it is countered by the character's negativity, adding to reader frustration. Examples include: Holden Caulfield, Hamlet, Shinji, Binx Bolling. So, what I'm getting at, is that I like the story and themes of Catcher in the Rye, and I like Holden's character arc FAR more than his actual personality. And Back to Eva, I feel I would enjoy it much more, and be better absorbed by it, if I didn't find most/all of the characters so unlikable.

Durden is nothing if not charismatic, but he's the part of the narrator making the most explicit accusations of 'phoniness'. I think Shinji is less worried about others being phony though, he just wants out, much like Holden or the Narrator in Fightclub.

That there are a lot of people who will watch a little beyond the warning to decide if the show itself seems worth watching. It's what I often do anyway. And the spoilers come pretty much right after the warning. Also the warning itself feels a little light I would say. It could have at the very least used a ' *major* spoilers'.

Too late lol

Let's not forget how amazing the "Fly me to the Moon" cover is at the end of each episode

14:57 holy shit that’s the most emotion I’ve seen come from Rei

This is way to well done, this puts a whole other meaning to neon

I was too young to understand this anime back then Thanks for the smart and profound video!

All of this, and yet still only scratching the experience of the show.

Right? Even with all of the footage, it doesn’t evoke feel like its evoking Evangelion

Perfect video, there are huge Hegelian references even on the scenes you guys picked on this video, and as a psicoanalyst they are all melancholic as they self image is affected and shinji main theme is losing the love of his father, which is still alive, and he doesn’t even recognize that for the biggest part of the show.

It seems very unlikely to me that Anno ever read Hegel

Very detailed. Good job👍

I saw someone else in the comments suggest Serial Experiments Lain, and I'm seconding that because that would be a perfect show for this channel to tackle!

A thousand times this! Eva is an extremely complex show and judging how they handled it, this channel may be the only one that can handle Lain. If they do, good luck (they'll need it).

The philosophy of Serial Experiments Lain!!!!! I am pretty sure you will have some interesting time with this one

Some people are more adequate than others. Rather watch something awesome than half-baked.

This video gave me closure on this anime, I didn’t fully understand the physiological themes and depression present in this anime it was very confusing. This for sure is helpful. I can move on from this experience but will not forget what it made me think.

Excellent! Excellent! Thank you very much for this wonderful video. Peace Profound to you. Cheers. 👍👍👍
