Misato was a real character. She wasn't just an anime character that was predictable and only played a role for the main character. She had insane depth to her character and that fact that it's so raw and real is crazy. Like Misato feels like a real human if you ask me
I couldn't lay my finger on why I liked Misato so much, and I think now that it's her inner strength combined with her struggling with letting others be close to her. It's pretty relatable. Or maybe I just like the 15 different sides of herself she presents to people, :P
@@roninjoey for me, now, it's not about her complex relationships with the guys in her life, but her relationships with other women like Ritsuko and what they say about how she treats herself. There really is alot that's so interesting about her character!
I just want to give Misato a hug. Not even in a sexual or romantic type vibe way, just like a “hey, girl, you’re doing just fine and you’re gonna be okay” vibe. She deserved better :/
Finally, a good analysis of Misato that isn't just "lol Misato's a pervert XD" She's definitely a flawed character in the way she tries to relate to people and escape her own insecurities, but I think that makes her even more interesting. I love the inner conflict between the two facades she puts up, it makes her feel that much more tragic and real.
That opening quote is profound. Currently, after three years of sobriety, I'm liking myself quite a bit, but I don't fully understand myself, though I am gradually learning about myself and liking what I'm learning. That is exactly how I felt watching Neon Genesis and The End of Evangelion.
No great books are written about perfect people, instead they are written about flawed people. To be human is to be flawed and misato is a perfect example of how flaws can make a character real and relatable.
Thank you so much for making this! I've been waiting for a good Misato analysis for years. She's my favorite character from Eva, and has been since I first watched it. Few characters I've encountered in fiction convey concepts and themes like the ones she does, let alone convey them /well/. Something I've always loved about her is how multifaceted she is, without feeling unpredictable. She has a number of "faces"; sides to her personality, yes, but all those faces come together cohesively to create a realistic character, rather than feeling disjointed or inconsistent. That's an impressive feat. I wish more people respected her and the nuances of her character. There's definitely a lot to her if people are willing to look.
Misato quickly became my favorite character first time i watched Eva. This is probably true to this day. I remember i really didn’t like Asuka at first, i honestly couldn’t stand her, but now i absolutely love her. I was ignorant. This show is and always has been so fucking good. Maybe even some of the best of all time.
the part where he talks about how misato's father cared more for his work than for his family but deep down he still loved them (e.g: when he saved misato seconds before the second impact) reminds me of how she turned out to be like him in the rebuild movies. when ryoji was born, she felt like she couldn't be the best mother for him. so she distanced herself from him and focused more on her work, but even far apart, she still looked out for him, and wishing him the best. great video.
The purest definition of daddy issues. Well, the whole of Evangelion is one big conglomerate cacophony of daddy issues tbh… and i still absolutely adore it.
I love this so much. I've never really known why misato is my favourite character, and I still don't fully understand it, but she deserved ao much better and I love the series and her character so so much I love this video ty.
I don't always agree with everything you say but I would be lying if I didn't tell you that I look forward to each video. There is a need for the cerebral and for that you have earned my respect. It not much really, just the words of a stranger. But this stranger wants to give his thanks. Thank you.
I'll always stand by Yui/EVA-01 being the best girl. Constantly there protecting her son, and she was obviously so good that her husband and mentor help bring about the end of the world for a chance to see her again.
To me it seems she's the only chara that developed what Jung would call a Persona. An entity with different tasks to cover in life to function, while the real self is beneath these layers.
"Move onward despite the hardships of life, perhaps there isnt a solution to this emptiness despite persistence itself." Goddamn dude very well said, I feel I learn just a bit more about myself from these videos every time you upload dude keep up the amazing work you may not see it first hand but I assure you you're making a difference in your own unique way.
Thank you so much for bringing these videos back. I love your takes on Evangelion especially. It's not an exaggeration to say I've been looking forward to this video for years.
Another insightful and enjoyable Eva video from you! Its truly a joy to sit down and watch all your videos, so you can imagine how fast that notification got clicked the moment it appeared ;)
Just would like to throw a couple good analysis video ideas out there for you. -Music analysis. Dissecting a number of different songs and their lyrics and applying them to the scenes on hand or characters they are associated with. -Art/Color Scheme analysis. Another overlooked part of Evangelion is their style of visual art and color choices. "Why is this series so drowned in sunsets?" or "Why so many static, color backgrounds?" -(Somewhat ties into art^) Understanding the physics and scientific logic they put their spin on. For example, the scene where shinji descends into Central Dogma after Kowaru... wtf happened to that place? One moment it looks like an elevator shaft, the next they look like they're on some freaky planet in outer space. Same goes for Shinji as he broke out of the shadow angel (I forget the names :D) or taking a good look at what's going on on the computer monitors in terminal dogma when the crew is keeping an eye on the Evas during combat/exercise. Some really cool stuff if you care to take a closer look and ask why things look the way they are.
I wish I had a better comment, about how well you explain Misato's character (and why she's the best lady!), but I don't have anything . Misato appreciation squad!!!
Stef I'm so glad you have reopened your old content, it's so well made and your content introduced me to evangelion which was a show that had a impact on me greatly, your content really help me through a really rough patch in my life and your content always found a way to improve it . For that I'm forever thankful to you, I hope your able to see this message Stef.
PLEASE PLEASE keep uploading videos. Your content is so well done and you have such passion and love for this series. please keep up the good work. Thumbs up as usual. sending love from Vancouver!
Fun fact: Sometimes I fantasize about Misato coming home drunk and beating me until I feel numb. She kicks me in the ribs until I can hardly breathe. Then she starts to cry and apologizes, begging me to forgive her. She holds me all night as I gently cry into her t-shirt. Please help is there any hope for me?
I know this is way late, but the first quote is only partially true if you relate more to characters like Kaji, because Kaji likes himself but he doesn't trust himself... or others for that matter. He needs to know because he feels you can never truly know, not even yourself.
I am writing for language arts about The Characters of evangelion and this has helped me put some ideas and try to put it into my own words. thank you for this nice video. ♥
6:08 I don't think Misato was going to do that with shinji, but i think he thought that and was scared. That may just be my hope for Misato but its still what i believe
I love Misato SO MUCH she’s like mi number 1 waifu. Most of the people see her just like a sex icon or something like that, but I think she is MUCH MORE than that: she’s, strong, brave, beautiful, intelligent... she’s such an admirable woman, and so beautiful, Misato you bright up my days
Does this mean that we're also getting a Rei analysis?
ok. Keep up the great stuff my dude.
do you like neon genesis evangelion?
sudoStef and we love you
I like your cat too.
please?
Misato was a real character. She wasn't just an anime character that was predictable and only played a role for the main character. She had insane depth to her character and that fact that it's so raw and real is crazy. Like Misato feels like a real human if you ask me
But no real human does the same thing as misato in this sad reality
@@lqf72l96 no shit we don’t have giant aliens ravaging the planet
Yep, and Asuka and Shinji feel the exact same.
@@lqf72l96 its so sad
Her death was the only one that actually made me cry
Are we getting a PenPen analysis? he has the most complicated character in NGE.
Agreed. PenPen was dank af.
+Phylicia Stevens PenPen is second best character and he should be the 6th child (animal?) and save humanity instead of shinji
PenPen would be so good in an Eva.
Penpen has such a tough life that never even said a word
Pen Pen is adorable and all, but watermelon shows more growth.
I couldn't lay my finger on why I liked Misato so much, and I think now that it's her inner strength combined with her struggling with letting others be close to her. It's pretty relatable. Or maybe I just like the 15 different sides of herself she presents to people, :P
I like her for one reason: Mommy
now u know damn well ur wrong. we all like her bc she fine ash and would like her to ruin our lives.p
@@RNB_lovr same lmao
I think what makes it so good is that she becomes a mother to Shinji
@@roninjoey for me, now, it's not about her complex relationships with the guys in her life, but her relationships with other women like Ritsuko and what they say about how she treats herself. There really is alot that's so interesting about her character!
I just want to give Misato a hug. Not even in a sexual or romantic type vibe way, just like a “hey, girl, you’re doing just fine and you’re gonna be okay” vibe. She deserved better :/
You could say the same for every character in this show.
Hug real ppl you know who need help, not cartoon characters that never existed
You may have a "Misato" nearby who needs it...but won't show it.
@@maverickbull1909Hug everyone
Misato's scar is pretty hot tbh.
Waifumeister Would you do that to a woman you child abusing scum?
wut...
When did they claim they'd cause that to someone intentionally?
GenderPranks ty for the copy paste bait
I'm... Afraid I agree. They say kissing a lady's scar demonstrates you wanna emotionally heal her soul.
Finally, a good analysis of Misato that isn't just "lol Misato's a pervert XD"
She's definitely a flawed character in the way she tries to relate to people and escape her own insecurities, but I think that makes her even more interesting. I love the inner conflict between the two facades she puts up, it makes her feel that much more tragic and real.
She’s the other main character of the show

Best inanimate object is Rei?
Nah its Ramiel

Kento Kitabayashi If Ramiel wouldn't have died. Damn...the things I would've done to it

I thought it was jetalone
@@TheMarineGamerIGGHQ m8...
dude I've been craving for this video for the last two years
Me too
Same good thing he ok and come back
Sixty. Nine.
I crave Misato.
Always loved Misato. Immediately my favorite, and next to Asuka. She is what helped bring Shinji back from Instrumentality.
Thank you so much for making this! I've been waiting for a good Misato analysis for years. She's my favorite character from Eva, and has been since I first watched it. Few characters I've encountered in fiction convey concepts and themes like the ones she does, let alone convey them /well/.

EXACTLY, but some people just see “mommy milkers” and just some other sexual stuff, when she’s SO MUCH MORE :’)
1st episode in, she already took me. So i dont get where her being overlooked is coming from. Best lady indeed.
Misato quickly became my favorite character first time i watched Eva. This is probably true to this day. I remember i really didn’t like Asuka at first, i honestly couldn’t stand her, but now i absolutely love her. I was ignorant. This show is and always has been so fucking good.

holy fuck this is the eva video i've been waiting for. misato is so underrated in the middle of that fucking rei - asuka war.
We all need a pen-pen analysis
Misato undebatably best lady.
This guy has good taste
the part where he talks about how misato's father cared more for his work than for his family but deep down he still loved them (e.g: when he saved misato seconds before the second impact) reminds me of how she turned out to be like him in the rebuild movies. when ryoji was born, she felt like she couldn't be the best mother for him. so she distanced herself from him and focused more on her work, but even far apart, she still looked out for him, and wishing him the best. great video.
Literally Misato Christ, she sacrificed the love for her son so we could live. Best girl.
Over the years I’ve come to “love Evangelion” more and more if you know what I mean
This was a great analysis of best step-mom
I was drawn to Misato from the first episode seriously that series is an absolute masterpiece!!!
The username is lowkey insane, yet so true.
Misato didn't understand that Shinji didnt want to be casual about his sexuality
I haven't even started watching this and I am already grateful for an Eva video. Thanks dude!
"every girl in eva is flawed and there is no real waifu" hence why I got myself a laddy.... Riza Hawkeye...
lol gay
DefCat wrong
DefCat W R O N G
you are so right
She really is best lady. This is undebatable.
Thanks for bringing these videos back. I've been talking about you like a legend for years, glad to have you back.
Don't mess with us misato fanboys: We have mommy issues.
fr tho holy shit
I need her bro.
It's fucking sad but is true
Yes we do
Which would be repulsive to Misato if she was ever real, cuz people with mommy issues are weirdly clingy and emotionally fragile. Suffering is real.
I just like the way she looks tbh.
Fair
You have no Idea how much I needed this in my life right now..
"best inanimate object" *shows Rei*
The purest definition of daddy issues.
Well, the whole of Evangelion is one big conglomerate cacophony of daddy issues tbh… and i still absolutely adore it.
She acted like a mom to Shinji especially in the rebuild films
The manga, too.
@@CDWLoweDoesn't that make her 'f l I r t a t i o n s' with him even more screwed in the head?
I love these man, so much emotional connection to one series.
I love this so much. I've never really known why misato is my favourite character, and I still don't fully understand it, but she deserved ao much better and I love the series and her character so so much I love this video ty.
I don't always agree with everything you say but I would be lying if I didn't tell you that I look forward to each video. There is a need for the cerebral and for that you have earned my respect.

I'll always stand by Yui/EVA-01 being the best girl. Constantly there protecting her son, and she was obviously so good that her husband and mentor help bring about the end of the world for a chance to see her again.
To me it seems she's the only chara that developed what Jung would call a Persona. An entity with different tasks to cover in life to function, while the real self is beneath these layers.
I feel like Asuka to
I knew Asuka and Misato would be Persona users!
2:41 the beer can reads 100% 麦芽(malt) not alcohol
I'm in that minority who finds this show to be extremely conflicting.
However, the conversation around it some of the best I've seen.
You all can keep your best girls.
I'll stick with my best woman Misato.
Misato’s death hit me hard dude… up there with Asuka :(
It took less than a minute to flame the shit out of Rei. Subbed. Well done.
Uh no i've always stanned Misato, she is best girl
This was very good, made me appreciate her even more. Such a complex and hot character lol and i finally know what a Freudian slip is. Good job my guy
"Move onward despite the hardships of life, perhaps there isnt a solution to this emptiness despite persistence itself."

Really enjoyed this - your delivery style is very nicely done, very relaxing along with the music.
what's the music tho
Officially gonna do videos on youtube thanks to this channel and Eyepatch Wolf
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE. Loving your analysis man, Evangelion is the greatest and AHHH Misato is my fav next to Asuka! Kudos!
There’s also an episode where Shinji’s friends call him lucky for being able to see misato at home without any masks.
I need more of this, you are just my fav channel BOOOOOOOOOOOIIII. Great work dude, seriusly, amazing.
what about a "music in evangelion" video
Yes please
Fragrance99 - Piano I WANT THIS
i want penpen analysis over rei analysis
+1
GenderPranks reported lol
Warrrrr why penpen did not suffocate in Tokyo-3 environment
+GenderPranks PenPen was there for them when no one else was
Another insightful and enjoyable Eva video from you! Its truly a joy to sit down and watch all your videos, so you can imagine how fast that notification got clicked the moment it appeared ;)
I've been waiting for this.
Worth the wait.
I misread the title as "Beer Lady Analysis". But funnily enough that would still be an accurate title.
Just would like to throw a couple good analysis video ideas out there for you.

Yes please mommy Misato
In 1999 (I think) she was the reason I suddenly lost interest in LEGO and started liking my friends mom 😅
PLEASE PLEASE keep uploading videos. Your content is so well done and you have such passion and love for this series. please keep up the good work. Thumbs up as usual. sending love from Vancouver!
Gotta watch this now instead of learning for physics... Don't worry Stef I won't blame you ;D
nice use of the devil's trill sonata. very well placed
Is that devil's trill I hear? Interesting choice of music.
Fun fact: Sometimes I fantasize about Misato coming home drunk and beating me until I feel numb. She kicks me in the ribs until I can hardly breathe. Then she starts to cry and apologizes, begging me to forgive her. She holds me all night as I gently cry into her t-shirt. Please help is there any hope for me?
You didn’t break into her apartment, did you?
As a medical student, soon to be doctor, i'd suggest "grass-therapy", touch some grass kid.
That's funny because sometimes I fantasize about beating up women.
But instead of apologizing, I bury their unresponsive bodies in the forest nearby.
What.
I know this is way late, but the first quote is only partially true if you relate more to characters like Kaji, because Kaji likes himself but he doesn't trust himself... or others for that matter. He needs to know because he feels you can never truly know, not even yourself.
As always, keep up the amazing work!

Never clicked a video so fast
that outro song gets my ovaries quaking
i wanna watch john carpenter movies and chug beers with misato
Very well done.
0:00 i mean.. fuck i feel targeted.
Also, that music just instantly makes me happy and think of Misato😂 goofy upbeat alcoholic music.
The fans still want the cat analysis video
Thanks for making this man
I am writing for language arts about The Characters of evangelion and this has helped me put some ideas and try to put it into my own words.

great cat! oh and the essay was great too
This nigga woke, top taste.
Usagi Tsukino, but horribly maladjusted [endearing]
Misato is best gurl tho.
Shes a fully grown woman thats why it doesnt count lmao shes best lady
Yeah up there with my waifus Reimi, Momo, Eosinophil, etc
shes so fine omfg i love misato
Misato 💜
Misato's sin is probably gluttony. Not the "eat too much" type, but overindulgence overall.
6:08 I don't think Misato was going to do that with shinji, but i think he thought that and was scared. That may just be my hope for Misato but its still what i believe
best "inanimate" object, ahem, but Steeeeeeef, Evangelion is an ANIMATion
Good stuff as always.
I love Misato SO MUCH she’s like mi number 1 waifu.
Most of the people see her just like a sex icon or something like that, but I think she is MUCH MORE than that: she’s, strong, brave, beautiful, intelligent... she’s such an admirable woman, and so beautiful, Misato you bright up my days
not even shes the perfect example of the chick who will always go back to the asshole that gave her the D
Ew
perfect analysis
datfootdive at the end, fucking nice
that guy definitely needs more recognition
Wow... Didn't notice how good Devil's trill sounded with Evangelion footage...
such a good analysis
