I wonder what kind of symbolism they’re trying to get at

“There are a lot of giant robot shows in Japan, and we did want our story to have a religious theme to help distinguish us. Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan we thought it would be mysterious. None of the staff who worked on Eva are Christians. There is no actual Christian meaning to the show, we just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool. If we had known the show would get distributed in the US and Europe we might have rethought that choice.” –Kazuya Tsurumaki, assistant director/art director on Neon Genesis Evangelion

eva is literally fake deep

#i love this tbh #like their treating christianity like white people treat buddhism and what not is such an unintentional fuck you

i almost forgot this blessed video exists

Wait there’s another one of these

If memory serves, what happened was that someone took a video of a Ukrainian military band playing some other song and dubbed a realistic-sounding version of A Cruel Angel’s Thesis over it. This proceeded to be everywhere on the internet, enough so that the band that put on the original performance caught wind of it, and decided to capitalize on its popularity by actually performing the song. This video is the latter version.

You know…

When Kaworu says “I might have been born to meet you” in the tv series he has this smile on his face that seems just amazed and fascinated.

Because Kaworu and Shinji are very much in puppy love here. Kaworu is looking at him like this because he’s absolutely infatuated and has a lot about left that he wants to discover about Shinji and his glass heart. It’s a straightforward gesture in terms of its contextual meaning and purpose.

But compare that to when Rebuild Kaworu says “I really was born to meet you”:

This one needs a gif to get the point across because it’s all about Kaworu’s body language, wheras in the previous incarnation he was lying still. He way he looks at Shinji and smiles is more subtle and softly admirative, and he seems relaxed and comfortable yet still excited. But it’s mostly the way his eyes are somewhat narrowed and downturned initially, but he looks up and into Shinji’s eyes after he speaks, that gives the impression that he’s thinking the opposite about Shinji this time around. He doesn’t convey that sense of experiencing something big and new and intense – he knows Shinji completely, and he cherishes him because he’s reminded of that familiarity; that Shinji is still the boy he fell in love with then. It’s not simple infatuation here, everything about the way he carries himself perfectly gives the impression of someone who was willing to wait years to be with the person they love.

Basically what I was thinking is this…

When tv series Kaworu says “I might have been born to meet you”, it’s as if he’s saying “you captivate me, I want to know everything about you”. When Rebuild Kaworu says “I really was born to meet you”, it’s as if he’s saying “I missed you so much”.
