The best thing about this video's editing is without a doubt the sense of weight that it manages to convey. I mean, like, just viewing it emits a near-physical heft each time the bass kicks in and an Eva slams something, the camera snaps in or out, a fast movement is initiated, and so-on. It's a great accomplishment, really.
***** And it's staggering how well you manage to convey it. The more I watch, the more I notice how in-sync both the cuts and animation is with every layer of the music track. Every single bass layer, drum beat, kick, electronic buzz, has a weight and hit that's synonymous in the video. I think more AMV makers have to focus on stuff like this, making videos that compliment that source material just as well as the music rather than focusing on less... static elements. I mostly work with trailers and tribute AMVs (other channel), but I would love to tackle something like this one day, something that seems like it could legitimately stand on its own for as great a display for the series as it does for the song and band. As somebody who loves researching audio and video editing for a less shallow effect, all I can say is: Bravo.
Yeah the original video is random as hell. I was drunk the first time I saw it and kept yelling "WATCH THE LITTLE PINK GUY! HE'S GONNA FUCK EVERYBODY UP!"
Actually to be honest, a lot of music is more defined by their inclusion in high quality AMVs than their original MV, such as Illiea's and Shin's, among others.
Man, I feel so sorry for the people who start Evangelion by watching the Rebuild movies first. Some people don't even bother to watch the original series at all.
i last watched the original series when i was a kid so i decided to watch it again yesterday....and maaann...it really fucks your head up sometimes (and I love it) XDD
the movies are great, but of course the original series is better because it has this thing that fucks with your brain at times that the rebuild movies don't have (in my opinion)
+jiale chen I always wondered why mobile would block a song while PC can view it. The reason makes sense. Because you can't take a pc anywhere and stream music on the go, unlike the RUclips app. So in essence, it's to prevent people from streaming their music just anywhere from places that give them no revenue.
If the 'AMV' doesn't have clip syncing then I don't even consider it an AMV. It's just some clips from an anime with music on the top. Anyone could do it. Syncing however takes time and thought, and it's the editing that truly makes an AMV enjoyable. I will never understand why some AMVs on RUclips that are so poorly edited are well received.
My god, if only more people understood syncing a song's beat to whats happening in the video like you do, instead of haphazardly putting together random clips to a song and calling it a day. Really, quality video this is.
I saw this played during the closing ceremony at Sakuracon and it gave me goosebumps. The bass blasting through the room made this just incredible. Plus this song is perfect for Evangelion, haha
I absolutely love that you were able to make this so great without all the masking and transitions all the other pros seem to use... just sheer timing and good choice of clips.. really an inspiration
Thanks! I'm not a big fan of the "mask every single scene" trend that's popped up recently. I just think it lacks character, y'know? It's become cruise control for transitions. It certainly has its time and place to be used effectively, (I've utilized it before myself), but not every single scene change...
honestly this is one of my absolute favorite amvs. i've noticed a trend with more talented editors to rely a lot on special effects but nothing will ever beat the meticulous effort that goes into editing together well-timed clips like this video has. literally every second of it is impressively thought out. this deserves all of the awards it won! thanks for all your hard work.
I've watched this everyday for the last week, and I'm constantly blown away by how amazingly well-done it is. Seriously, huge props to the creator, this is incredible.
Absolutely incredible. I was lucky enough to be at the closing ceremony and I can tell you I've never had goosebumps like when I watched this in the theatre with a booming sound system and a huge screen. Perfection, and it loses none of its impact on a smaller screen. Honestly, bravo!
I've seen this video about a week or two after you had uploaded it. Until this day I am sort of pissed at you because I have yet to find a better AMV. Best one around IMO -- very powerful. Thank you for being awesome.
The more I watch this, the more I realize how in beat you made everything. Even those small little beats that are really small sounding, you made the video go in sync with it and that's seriously fantastic.
it's good to have it back! (for the sake of preserving history: all videos of this channel were taken down at one point. You can see it in 2 month gap in comments)
This is simply incredible. It takes extreme skill to perfectly match video to music and you absolutely nailed it. The very feel of the weight of the Evas and the alienation of the pilots comes across with crystal clarity. In only a few minutes. Amazing work.
Not gonna lie, this AMV single-handedly convinced me to watch the entire series (which I now think of as one of my absolute favorite TV shows, animated or otherwise).
I have never seen this anime, but the way this amv was edited made it very easy to follow, considering how tedious it all was. I cannot imagine how long it must've taken to make this, but it truly is brilliant the approach you did. It hardly depended on effects to keep up with the tempo of the song. You made use of mainly one transition and the clips themselves which I gotta say is just so perfect how the timing worked out so well. There were some moments that I felt it was too slow or too fast, but overall I feel that you had an excellent flow throughout this video. Awesome job :D!
+Clarice Davila If all you're looking for in Evangelion is action, then yes it'd be tedious to you. It's about more than the giant robot battles, there's also a lot about the psychological effect warfare has on people, especially since the main character is so young. It not only shows him kicking giant robot ass, but his mental breakdowns afterward. It's the Madoka Magica of mech shows. So you might have missed the entire point of it. Though it goes a little slow, I think that's appropriate pacing. Though yes, this AMV is pretty great.
Michael Terry It's tedious to me in that I could see all that you mentioned in your comment within this amv without having seen this series before. Not many amvs can do that, which is what I found impressive, but thank you for the information you provided.
You should really watch the original and then the movies, then the new ones, if you want to get the series, because there's no way this video explained even a teaspoonful of NGE.
I had been looking for old AMVs and thought I'd never find this one again until I checked an old list of youtube links I had saved. Glad it's still here with the audio intact! So good.
Ugh I don't typically care for anime music videos but holy fuck this gives me goosebumps. NGE 4 life. The new redo's fuck with what makes the TV show so fundamentally amazing but art is great :D Great job sir/ma'am.
More than 10 years ago I saw Rammstein - Engel AMV for the first time. This is how my own Evangelion started. Nothing was as good as that masterpiece. Until now. To me, sir, you made the only true successor to that legendary video. The whole age of anime, Evangelion, music, AMV - everything fits right between these 2 videos. Thank you so much for recalling lots of precious memories of my life.
I just discovered this yesterday on Tumblr. Holy crap. I've been watching EVA for years and this is the single best AMV I have ever seen! Really excellent editing and choice of song!
This was by far one of the best AMVs I've ever seen and is very deserving of winning at Anime Boston and Sakura-Con. I've always been interested in watching EVA but now I'm sooo going to after having watchied this.
The concept that when the world is ending and instead of crying and giving up to the apocalypse. We make mecha and punch angels in the face always gives me goosebumps.
This amv was an absolute pleasure to watch. I love that you can FEEL every clip, the music makes every scene feel real, as if the movie sound effects are still there. Awesome, amazing job!
I don't mean to say that the rebuild movies are bad, but they lack the depth of the original source material. Not that anyone reading this comment cares anyway.
Rebuild are more faithful to Anno's vision, even I was disappointed of the major differences between Neon Genesis and Rebuild. And right now I do have many questions about the 3rd movie like, what happened during the time that Shinji was dead ?
This was my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE AMV at Anime Boston. Congratulations on winning, and THANK YOU for the entertainment. I had never heard of the song or the anime, but now "Radioactive" is my favorite song (though its not the same without the seat-vibrating subwoofer) and I'm going to start watching Evangelion!!!!
Being introduced to the series this way, I had found myself enthralled and astounded by the amount of detail put into the Neon Genesis Evangelion series. Knowing that the quality of the Rebuilds had been more up to date than the prior, I had wanted to watch the Rebuild first, but opted to Neon firstly. It's until now that I've watched the season three times, each time finding new things in between the lines and having good replayability overall. The Rebuilds, as people may know, are just as excellent in their own story progression, with the added bonus of working action to the priority agenda. To LeiliaAMVs, you have my thanks for showing this golden piece, never would have seen it or Kyoukai no Kanata due to your exposition of video editing skill and the chosen anime.
Excellent AMV , Like , Share and Subscribed , I like the way you matched everything in the melody with anime sequences , perfect , just perfect , im in love with your AMV`s since this one.
Girl, you made shivers go down my spine as I was watching this. I still get goosebumps when replaying. One of the very best AMVs I've seen till now. I congratulate you for making this awesome video.
This AMV is so fantastic, every time I hear the song now I think of NGE and it even got me off my ass to watch the show. Its really amazing, thank you for making it.
Still the best editing I’ve ever seen in my life. And yes I will keep coming back to comment this every few years. This AMV is a masterpiece and in every way perfect.
In all the years I have heard about Evangelion, I was NEVER interested in watching it. I had seen cosplays, I had seen art promos for it, and other fan art, but nothing ever made it look exciting. So I never bothered to watch it. THIS is why I love AMVs!!!! Especially the really well made ones! This particular editor has made me want to watch the series now because this looks freakin' awesome!! Great job, you def deserved the win!
MikaSorano Well if you do watch it keep in mind that it's more than an action series. The character development and the subtext matters a lot in order to drive the story. Also they don't spoon feed you with the plot. There are a lot of things you must figure it out by yourself; or by reading Wikipedia :D
you sound like you'd be more into the movies. There are lots of amazing action sequences in the series but it shows its age, and If you go into the series expecting it to be action packed like this you'll be disappointed. The action is far from the focus of the the show.
+MikaSorano Evangelion is something any fan of anime should see, and I would recommend watching the show before the films. The films are f*cking awesome, but the show is a monument. It -changed- things, for the genre and for the art in general.
Great work on the video. Best EVA AMV I've ever seen, and one hell of a great way to turn some friends on to the Rebuild and Neon Genesis Series. Again, hats off!
I enjoyed the Rebuilds (Well...the first two...). I'm not sure about the series, I've only seen the first few episodes. The End of Evangelion and Death and Rebirth movies were....confusing, but I expect that's because I hadn't finished the series haha.
***** I loved that they decided to completely defy expectations and go a completely different direction. But I do think it is oddly paced and does a bit of a disservice to some of the smaller characters.
As some one who has watched the 26 episodes of Neon Genesis Eva, and not end of eva, because I would like to keep my sanity intact, I would personally like to say that Rebuild of Eva, overall is just better than the original series, but the original is still good in it's own right. Doe's anyone else agree or disagree with that? Please do tell me.
Thank you for replaying to my comment, and to be honest while I have not seen the End of Eva, I do know what happen's in it. And I love that Shinji, did eventually overcome his problems, I do very much respect in general when some form of fiction, send's the audience a moral message. But enough about that, who's to say Shinji, well somehow be able to overcome his problems in rebuild?
The characters seem more bleak and less relatable as they were in NGE though. When Asuka nearly died in the second movie I almost didn't care. The only thing that really got to me was the soundtrack choice. I also disliked the CGI implementation. I'd prefer oldschool style of EoE to any modern CGI. Pencil drawn ftw!
I'm with the small group of people who believe this to be a continuation from the original. Shinji wanted a "redo". If you watch the redo's Kaworu says something like "this time I will please you, Shinji." Meanwhile he's never seen him before that moment. Also, how the movie starts with the scene of a blood ocean is how the movie prior ended. I may be wrong, but I'd like to think Anno is messing with us, and this really is a continuation. Shinji realized his mistakes, and wanted to redo them. So, naturally some scenes were changed, but 90% stayed the same.
So. I see this video at least once a week. I like the song, but the song by itself doesn't warrant a weekly listening. It's the perfect combination of rhythm, source material knowledge, flawless transitions and sensible selection that makes this the best AMV I've ever seen, and I've been around. Huge congratulations on this editing success Ileia, that 2 years after its uploading this video is still roaming my modem.
riot games spends millions of dollars every year on animators and imagined dragons to reproduce exactly 1% of the power this AMV exudes
This is my new favorite comment of all time. Thank you
@@Ileia This was top recommend after that AMV. RUclips knows the real MVAMV.
In general, greedy corporations enabled by ignorant fans put out worse things than passionate fans.
This amv is so powerful 💪
I mean, I don’t get exactly what you’re saying because I never played LoL, but Arcane is an awesome show.
coming back to this now that the rebuild series is officially over... what a nostalgia trip.
i feel you
it'sbeen84years.gif

For me, this is the real music "video" for Radioactive. I don't really like their version, but this one is Godly.
Yeah the original video is random as hell. I was drunk the first time I saw it and kept yelling "WATCH THE LITTLE PINK GUY! HE'S GONNA FUCK EVERYBODY UP!"
Actually to be honest, a lot of music is more defined by their inclusion in high quality AMVs than their original MV, such as Illiea's and Shin's, among others.
naejin sureeee man
@@Kabal39 I meant for me.
Dunno about "Godly" but this AMV is how I found the song and I agree it is much better than the actual music video.
Who here getting hype for 3.0+1.0 worldwide release tomorrow?!?!?
Haven't watched this AMV is quite some time, forgot just how awesome it still is. Truly deserves to be archived.
Man, I feel so sorry for the people who start Evangelion by watching the Rebuild movies first. Some people don't even bother to watch the original series at all.
i last watched the original series when i was a kid so i decided to watch it again yesterday....and maaann...it really fucks your head up sometimes (and I love it) XDD
Is it that bad? i might have to watch the originals then XD
the movies are great, but of course the original series is better because it has this thing that fucks with your brain at times that the rebuild movies don't have (in my opinion)
Which are the clips in this video from?
solomon sessums It's from the first two Neon Genesis Evangelion Rebuild movies, You Are [Not] Alone and You Can [Not] Advance.
This video is three years old today. :o
Why the you blocked the song for phones ios? There s no fucking sense and good jon
+jiale chen I didn't. That would be RUclips/the copyright owner (hint: the creators of the song). I can't control it, sorry!
+IleiaAMVs your video is incredible. As took you to do ?
+jiale chen
I always wondered why mobile would block a song while PC can view it. The reason makes sense. Because you can't take a pc anywhere and stream music on the go, unlike the RUclips app.
So in essence, it's to prevent people from streaming their music just anywhere from places that give them no revenue.
Did you like 3.0? Your AMV is aspirational, though I noticed the complete omission of 3.0.
Most AMVs don't have a good music/showclip synergy. This, on the other hand does.
Absolutely incredible job. Loved every second.
If the 'AMV' doesn't have clip syncing then I don't even consider it an AMV. It's just some clips from an anime with music on the top. Anyone could do it. Syncing however takes time and thought, and it's the editing that truly makes an AMV enjoyable. I will never understand why some AMVs on RUclips that are so poorly edited are well received.
すごく感動した。音楽とイメージ合わせて、心響いた。ありがとう。公式MVみたいな感じがする
Me and some fellas were browsing youtube and I shared this and 11 years later it's still on a higher level to many AMVs. It's very well timed.
I wish I could walk into the AMV contest at Sakuracon and see this for the first time once again.Core memory created within 10 seconds.
Would be awesome to see the people's reaction at that moment.
My god, if only more people understood syncing a song's beat to whats happening in the video like you do, instead of haphazardly putting together random clips to a song and calling it a day. Really, quality video this is.
Again, RUclips disabled it automatically due to copyright issues because of the song. Sorry!
Been watching amv's for past 12 years, Have never seen any thing even close to this masterpiece. I wish there was option to thumbs up* 1000.
Totally agreed
I saw this played during the closing ceremony at Sakuracon and it gave me goosebumps. The bass blasting through the room made this just incredible.
Plus this song is perfect for Evangelion, haha
Lucky devil...
Oh my god, I can't even keep up with all these awesome comments! Thanks, everyone! This is absolutely making my entire week!
I absolutely love that you were able to make this so great without all the masking and transitions all the other pros seem to use... just sheer timing and good choice of clips.. really an inspiration

This AMV is the proof that you dont need good transition to make a good AMV.
Thanks a lot,you inspired me
I'm glad there are people that still know how to make a amv.
honestly this is one of my absolute favorite amvs. i've noticed a trend with more talented editors to rely a lot on special effects but nothing will ever beat the meticulous effort that goes into editing together well-timed clips like this video has. literally every second of it is impressively thought out. this deserves all of the awards it won! thanks for all your hard work.
To me, this will always be the offical video. It makes a LOT more sense than muppet pit fighting.
I've watched this everyday for the last week, and I'm constantly blown away by how amazingly well-done it is. Seriously, huge props to the creator, this is incredible.
6 years later and still a masterpiece
Not a fan of Imagine Dragons, but this is.

I was so not prepared for this video to be that good. My mouth was left hung open.
It's still my most-viewed video (on this channel anyway...), so I happen to be quite pleased with the amount of views, haha
I never was a fan of amv's but this.. it did it for me. The syncing was perfect.
Kudos to you
This is the best amv I've ever seen. Ever.
Music Sync lvl 999999999999999 (Pun INTENDED)

I've seen this video about a week or two after you had uploaded it. Until this day I am sort of pissed at you because I have yet to find a better AMV.
Best one around IMO -- very powerful.
Thank you for being awesome.
And here I am...still raving about this video to people that I meet; hence, my comment years after...LOL
The more I watch this, the more I realize how in beat you made everything. Even those small little beats that are really small sounding, you made the video go in sync with it and that's seriously fantastic.
I like to imagine you were just waiting and refreshing it. "Come on....come on!"
Unfortunately, this decision is not mine to make. Content owner = copyright holder. RUclips disabled the mobile automatically. Sorry!

¡E visto este video muchas veces y sigo amándolo! :3 al igual que el anime. Te quedo genial :3
This was by far one of the best AMVs I've ever seen and is very deserving of winning at Anime Boston and Sakura-Con.
I've always been interested in watching EVA but now I'm sooo going to after having watchied this.

0:37 - I really love this part of the amv for some reason, the timing is just so fitting and perfect. I Love It >w
Made me cry, your passion is beautiful
Holy... That was amazing!
Also the breath in/ breath out thing was the coolest and most well done piece of editing I saw the whole night!
Best AMV of NGE i've ever seen
Its from the Movies. not the original Tv series
jose paw yes i know it
that was absolutely one of the best evangelion amv's i have ever seen. the way you put that together was beautiful and smooth. great job.
I saw this at a manga convention earlier today, i was greatly thrilled
I keep coming back to this. It's weird addicting. Awesome job!
The song fits so perfect, I love this AMV
This amv was an absolute pleasure to watch. I love that you can FEEL every clip, the music makes every scene feel real, as if the movie sound effects are still there. Awesome, amazing job!
I don't mean to say that the rebuild movies are bad, but they lack the depth of the original source material.
Not that anyone reading this comment cares anyway.
I care! I do agree that they do lack the depth and character development of NGE, but they're still pretty damn good.
compare this with the new animes.... yeah... the way things are going, this is really really good
Rebuild are more faithful to Anno's vision, even I was disappointed of the major differences between Neon Genesis and Rebuild. And right now I do have many questions about the 3rd movie like, what happened during the time that Shinji was dead ?
The first one was actually pretty good.
Agreed.
But I like 2.22.
this is so amazing, the song and each beat fits perfectly with the video
i missed the 10 year anniversary but this is seriously one of the best AMVs of all time
that music sync is awesome!

of course... after Baccano 2 season.
at the same time with half-life 3
Bacon season 2... now there's a dream I would like to see come true.
Bacon... autocorrect is ruining my life.

2023 here
ten year anniversary!
The best thing about this AMV is that there are no stupid effects. Just brilliant editing! Well done on making the best AMV I have ever seen.
Wait, is this an HD version or BluRay of Evangelion or what? Freaking awesome AMV btw!!
+Ziks Mik Viks These are the Rebuilds of Evangelion, not the original.
Claudio Lai Thanks bro!
This is seriously amazing. The song and the animation tying together is one of the best AMV's I've ever seen in my life.
Waiting 2016 for "4.44" get released... fuckk
+Alfredo rodríguez
haha not gonna happen..
u sure?
This has got to be the best AMV I have ever seen. They fit the video unbelievably dead on with the music and the lyrics!
Dis sum gud shit son mmmmm
In all the years I have heard about Evangelion, I was NEVER interested in watching it. I had seen cosplays, I had seen art promos for it, and other fan art, but nothing ever made it look exciting. So I never bothered to watch it. THIS is why I love AMVs!!!! Especially the really well made ones! This particular editor has made me want to watch the series now because this looks freakin' awesome!! Great job, you def deserved the win!
MikaSorano Well if you do watch it keep in mind that it's more than an action series. The character development and the subtext matters a lot in order to drive the story. Also they don't spoon feed you with the plot. There are a lot of things you must figure it out by yourself; or by reading Wikipedia :D
you sound like you'd be more into the movies. There are lots of amazing action sequences in the series but it shows its age, and If you go into the series expecting it to be action packed like this you'll be disappointed. The action is far from the focus of the the show.
+MikaSorano Evangelion is something any fan of anime should see, and I would recommend watching the show before the films. The films are f*cking awesome, but the show is a monument. It -changed- things, for the genre and for the art in general.
needs more asuka
Needs a hell of a lot more Kaworu...
Kitty katimator Oh, that video is on the way....but it is a lot different...
The whole rebuild needs more asuka
Quite the opposite, the less Asuka the better. Can't stand that Tsundere bitch. Ayanami all the way.
Definitely...
Great work on the video. Best EVA AMV I've ever seen, and one hell of a great way to turn some friends on to the Rebuild and Neon Genesis Series. Again, hats off!
FUCKING AMAZING
My god.. This isn't just a video.. This. This is art! Amazing. Fantastic work!!
I've never seen NGE is it good? it looks fantastic from watching this video.
I enjoyed the Rebuilds (Well...the first two...). I'm not sure about the series, I've only seen the first few episodes. The End of Evangelion and Death and Rebirth movies were....confusing, but I expect that's because I hadn't finished the series haha.
***** I loved that they decided to completely defy expectations and go a completely different direction. But I do think it is oddly paced and does a bit of a disservice to some of the smaller characters.
***** I didn't find it confusing, just not as entertaining as the first two, I don't dislike it or anything. :p
***** Nobody judges you for finding the movies confusing
SehvaDE nobody judges bcuz they're not a judge :o
This is so awesome, I particularly enjoyed the beginning with the sunset. You deserved to win.
As some one who has watched the 26 episodes of Neon Genesis Eva, and not end of eva, because I would like to keep my sanity intact, I would personally like to say that Rebuild of Eva, overall is just better than the original series, but the original is still good in it's own right. Doe's anyone else agree or disagree with that? Please do tell me.
Thank you for replaying to my comment, and to be honest while I have not seen the End of Eva, I do know what happen's in it. And I love that Shinji, did eventually overcome his problems, I do very much respect in general when some form of fiction, send's the audience a moral message. But enough about that, who's to say Shinji, well somehow be able to overcome his problems in rebuild?
The characters seem more bleak and less relatable as they were in NGE though. When Asuka nearly died in the second movie I almost didn't care. The only thing that really got to me was the soundtrack choice.
I also disliked the CGI implementation. I'd prefer oldschool style of EoE to any modern CGI. Pencil drawn ftw!
End of Evangelion ties up all loose ends... it's not confusing and actually makes everything make sense.
I'm with the small group of people who believe this to be a continuation from the original. Shinji wanted a "redo". If you watch the redo's Kaworu says something like "this time I will please you, Shinji." Meanwhile he's never seen him before that moment. Also, how the movie starts with the scene of a blood ocean is how the movie prior ended. I may be wrong, but I'd like to think Anno is messing with us, and this really is a continuation. Shinji realized his mistakes, and wanted to redo them. So, naturally some scenes were changed, but 90% stayed the same.
So. I see this video at least once a week. I like the song, but the song by itself doesn't warrant a weekly listening. It's the perfect combination of rhythm, source material knowledge, flawless transitions and sensible selection that makes this the best AMV I've ever seen, and I've been around. Huge congratulations on this editing success Ileia, that 2 years after its uploading this video is still roaming my modem.
Why not NGE? D:
