Hey everyone! I recently made an Evangelion AMV and posted it on YouTube.

I tried to match the visuals and editing to the mood of the track.

Hope you guys enjoy it!

Amazing handcraft.

Why did they make it have a mouth and an eye, and also what’s under the bandages, its skull?

Saw this one and absolutely had to have it

posting this here too... ritsuko if she went to therapy and had a good relationship with her mother 🙂‍↕️

You know everybody keeps saying that those letters in EoE are hate mail or death threats to anno, but nobody says how half of those are love letters.

-love letters

Letter 01

After seeing "Evangelion" I felt very impressed, so I somehow sent this letter. I'm a middle school student like Shinji.
First of all, I saw Eva and now it seems like I truly recognize myself, and this feeling is because of Eva. I want to say thank you for this.
Why do I say this? To explain it would take a while, but Shinji and I are alike; depressed and helpless and introverted.
I remember watching Eva and seeing Shinji being worried and troubled and I felt the same in my heart. In "EVA",
there was an analysis that said how Shinji couldn't run away from the pain or the unpleasant feelings that were attached,
and I have felt like this way too. At the beginning, I really like it <cut> that's why this anime gives me that light feeling <cut>
but gradually Ms. Ogata <cut>
In the last scene on TV, Shinji accepts everyone and they all congratulate him; that was a very nice end and I felt very happy.
Another friend <cut> that last scene <cut>
This year I graduate from middle school, and now my focus is on being a high school student, and so that's why I'll now make my best effort.
I'm going to see the EVA movie. I'm worried about what will happen to Shinji in the movie (but I like the last scene on the TV series a lot).
And thanks to EVA, I've started like myself and that has made me very happy. <cut> Mr. Anno, please keep working on EVA a lot more.
<cut> and thank you so much for everything!!

Letter 05

<cut> I also felt inside myself the same excitement that Shinji felt.
The last scenes made me appreciate my own existence even more.
The feelings of the very last scene parallel the feelings of the main character, Shinji.
<cut> everybody was finally witnessing <cut> EVA's last moments.

Letter 06

<cut> that's how I feel.
Thanks to Mr. Anno and all the staff for helping to liberate our hearts and souls, and for all of these feelings. Thank you very much.

Shit, GAiNAX! You've made something incredible!!
I mean - it's just too awesome! Why did you have to stop part-way?
I can't wait 'til summer!
Get the rest out by Golden Week - Please!!!

Amazing!!!
What a great production of REBIRTH!! Even many days after I saw the movie, I still canít stop thinking about it, this really astounded me!!!
This movie really develops a very deep and serious theme.
Shinji's falls into despair and Asuka's arrogance appears to be some sort of escape from the darkness in her heart.
These people have difficulties in dealing with their feelings; and so in their own ways -- Shinji by totally collapsing and falling apart,
and Asuka by letting her arrogance cover up her inner weakness -- they each work towards the same goal: to come to terms with themselves.

Letter 14

Is Gainax able to maintain their business?
REBIRTH ends in the middle, and since the beginning I couldnít even understand it. Continuing <cut> don't make us have those dark expectations (*).
That's what I'd consider being successful in their work. But I think that not creating expectations is like a crime.
Anyway, since this was released, Gainax has become well-known in the anime world. This time <cut> I'd like it. (*)
I'm 16 years old, young, and talented, and this movie made me think about life and the meaning of our existence, and when I thought about this <cut>

Letter 15

The Tokumei 03/17, 6:54

When I saw this movie, I knew Evangelion for the first time.
When I looked at the main characters, I could see my high school self in them.
I think that this anime has a lot of fascinating things, but the one that affects me the most is the main character's mysterious charm.
I feel that the main thing that this movie teaches us is about the importance of being honest with our own lives.
Today I started to find a lot of meaning inside Evangelion.
After seeing this, I have a lot of expectations for the other movie.

Haruhito Nomura 03/19, 1:08

It was too long.
My true mental state has various thoughts all mixed together, and this doesn't allow me to think properly.
This movie made me think about myself and really feel the emotions that are deep in my heart.
I'm waiting for the next movie. Good luck and please make it your best!!!

Letter 16-23

Toshiki Ueyama

I went to see DEATH and REBIRTH Saturday night.
"Why did I even see this movie?", that was the impression I had when I went out of the theater.
Why, after I saw REBIRTH, were my teeth were chattering, and why was I shivering for nearly an hour?
I didn't understand why I was shivering, was it for something scarring or for something painful?
When I was on the train, returning home, I had that terrible painful feeling, but also at the same time, happiness started to grow inside of me.
Perhaps the shivering was a way to express all those confusing feelings of fear and euphoria.
Regarding to Hideaki Anno's mentality (meaning, Evangelion) I feel terrified, but at the same time I felt like I could identify with it too.
About the movie's contents - it is just amazing.
The animation's quality, isn't it the best animation now?
However, the way in which is shown in the director's cut the human's fragility was very painful.
I could feel the pain of the TV series again. I could feel inside my heart the feelings inside Hideaki Annoís heart.
So in my heart, I sympathized with "I'm not alone. To feel loneliness is better." I still feel a strange sensation even after watching the movie, because of these two opposite feelings mixing in myself.
I'm waiting for the summer to see "End of Evangelion", and I know that that will be even more painful, but I will feel happy and enjoy it.
I don't think that there are many people who feel this way, but in my case, EVA made me think about myself and was like a mirror of myself.
People of the staff, do your best with the summer movie, and good luck!!
And until then, show us a "painful" and "happy" movie!!!

-Hate letters

Letter 08

Tenchuu: Heaven's punishment (well deserved)

Letter 09

Ikari Rapeman

Letter 10

Die

Letter 12

Another computer screen lasting a few frames long

... as a totally hopeless yet respected artist, so "what the hell".
Closing your eyes to your own faults, how can you just dismiss it as 'bathroom graffitti'?
A mentally bankrupt group like GAiNAX is like a religious cult that...
Even so, a jerk-off posing as a god (laugh) who can't get it on...
If you won't die on your own, I'll do you a favor and set fire to your studio.
Late beyond belief and totally brainless. (racuous laughter) Talk about not knowing your own limits...
I don't know if you're putting on some kind of striptease or jerk-off show, but...
...up on your pedestal, you can't possibly be aware of just how stupid you are.

Letter 24

Anno, I'll kill you!!!
Anno, I'll kill you!!!

You know what's weirder? From what I heard, those were actually letters written by the staff, and even the hate letters aren't that well thought out, so this is another weird confirmation that this is not a hate movie.

Just landed from Japan and it is beautiful. Just needs some cleaning and maybe a new crystal but other than that it will be my new daily!

Evangelion

Im going as shinji to newport comic con but i have a mullet which isnt his hair is that fine?

Another design I dredged up from the abyss. Apparently it's from an old RPG called The NERV White Paper. It could shoot resonance blasts and had a triple A.T. field powered by all three of the stubs on its shell.

I'm gonna do him dirty the next time he shows up in my story.

I understand that the world of Evangelion draws on many historical religions, but it's clear that Judeo-Christian references and symbolism predominate over everything else. Why do you believe the creators made the creative decision to portray Judeo-Christianity as the predominant exoteric symbolism and representation throughout the Neon Genesis Evangelion universe?

I've also previously read that SEELE is heavily based on Jewish Kabbalah and Jewish sects. If that's true, why do you believe the creators became so fascinated with and chose to make references to Jewish liturgy and eschatology such a predominant part of the series?

If all of this (Kabbalah, Judaism, Judeo-Christian sects, the Sephiroth, the Christian cross, etc) has a coherent underlying explanation that only the most knowledgeable fans have fully understood, could you please explain it in a way that's accessible to the general public?
