0:04-0:06 "Should people have dreams?" - "It's better than not having them." That answer alone proves how extraordinary Anno is. It's simple yet quite poignant. Without dreams, we don't have motivation; without motivation, we can't grow as individuals. So yeah, having dreams is better than not having them. Dreams define who you are and who you'll become. I'm not sure Anno dreamed about making a grand anime or not, but he gave us (and is continuing to give us) Evangelion, and that makes him great already.
Evangelion, is ultimately triggering to me. As not only does it trigger my grief for my childhood friend, but also the social isolation of Quarantine, as well as my own adolescent trauma as well. Admittedly, I made the mistake of watching the End of Evangelion first before viewing the series, as much of the fandom said it to be a better ending than episodes 25 and 26. Big mistakes. EoE triggered me on such a monumental scale, that it gave me nightmares about the Third Impact. To make matters worse, I viewed it right after the suicide of my childhood friend, and right before the Pandemic hit the United States. As you can imagine, I became paranoid. Shinji was a coping mechanism, for everything that was going on, as everything that had happened to me was in layman's terms, a "Psychological Domino effect", all of which I was forced to cope with during Quarantine with little to no therapy whatsoever, making it all the more difficult. During that time, I felt so sorry for Shinji, that I wanted to die for him, in the delusion I could sacrifice my happiness for him, feeling my fate was inescapable. Moreover, at one point in time, I was just like Shinji, that being during high school, wherein I was a "loser" and a target for those to belittle me. I sought emotional refuge with the Evangelion fandom to cope with the events that have happened. They claimed that Evangelion was supposedly a cure for depression. I learned this during Lockdown, and of course, I was afraid of undergoing depression again, so I took their word for it; let Evangelion consume me in spite of how triggering it was to me, in the hopes I would no longer be alone, that being part of the fandom could help me feel like a part of a community in all the pandemical pandemonium. Little did I know that instead of a house of intellectuals, it would be a den of degenerates. For over two years, I have been cyberbullied by the Evangelion fandom for my depression and trauma. It's the ultimate irony. A fandom, dedicated to praising a series that portrays the cost and trauma and depression, downplayed my own. Much like Anno after he worked on the series, I received hate speech and death threats, especially when I told them how much I related to Shinji and hated Evangelion because of how much it brought me pain. To add insult to injury, they turned my cry for help, titled "Message in a Bottle", into a copypasta to spite me. To make matters worse, they even created a rumor of me being a zoophile as well as a pedophile merely based on gossip surrounding my past, even blamed me for the suicide of my childhood friend. Never since High School have I felt so humiliated. I hate myself because I hate Evangelion. I hate how I couldn't achieve the same absolution, the same self-love, the same closure, and the same resolution, and enlightenment as Shinji did in the original series, and I hate how I was made the outcast, and treated like one by the fandom in spite of my attempts to find acceptance. In spite of the cyber bullying I’ve endured for over a year from the Evangelion fandom, I keep coming back to them, to try and stand up for myself. But it always ends in more emotional damage on my end. They keep saying my trauma and depression are “all in my head” and I’m afraid. I just want to prove to them that my trauma and depression are real, and not fake like they accused me of, because if it’s real, then at least I know I can get better. I feel insecure about my own mentality. What if they’re right? What if my depression is fake and I never even knew? What if all my triggers are somehow wired in a way that they’re not even there? What if everything I had felt and experienced during Lockdown was a figment of my imagination and I really am clinically insane? Thus, I often question if I am beyond salvation, whether my fate has been sealed, as I have witnessed much horror that shattered my soul. I've been trying to contact Hideaki Anno since 2020, but heard nothing from him. I have this belief that if I seek his counsel, he might have the answers for me.

I'm not a psychiatrist, so take everything i'll say with a grain of salt. I think you probably had depression and trauma way before seen Eva, some scenes and situations just triggered something that was already there. I heard that a lot of people experiment similar things with media (some people try to avoid media that covers heavy topics as sVicid€, r@p€, vi○lenc€, etc, because it triggers in them similar sensations and make them feel bad, and it's not their fault, it's trauma or cptsd. It happened to me, but not with anime, tho). What you need to take into acount is that those feelings are not your fault: they happen cause of trauma. If some piece of media make you feel nauseaus because the content triggers bad feelings to you, i think is better to avoid it, and watch something more 'light' (even if it is stupid, like some Adam Sandler movies, or some romcom, if you are feeling like shit, is not a good idea watch a depresive movie). Also, and this is quite important, you need to take into acount that Evangelion, even if Hideaki Anno put a lot of himself into the characters, is still fiction. Fiction tends to be conclusive and straitforward, and life tends to be a little bit more complex at times. A lot of people writes, and produce media with the intention of made sense of their own feelings and the world surrounding them, but the pieces they produce are just a tiny bit of them. I'm pretty sure you are far more complex than Shinji, and your circunstances are different, even when you can relate to a lot of situations. Change, in real life, is a little bit more slow than in fiction. In fiction, everything tends to be accelerated because follows the structure of the three acts, or 'the hero journey', while in reality, sometimes we have good days, and sometimes bad days. And somedays, we relapse or go back to our bad feelings or bad habits. So, no matter if Shinji did it, and you are still trying to get out of the hole, because Shinji is ficticious, and he was created with that purpose. In real life, we have to concentrate in the little things, and one day at a time. I hope you don't think im judging you, because that's not my intention at all. I think you are trying to make sense of a situation, and sometimes, what's driving us to consume a certain kind of anime, or movies, or books, is the willing to make sense of some bad stuff that we are going though. I hope you doing well. If posssible, i sugest you that you seek professional help, trauma needs treatment, and i think is quite important. I send you a hug, and i hope you find your way, i really hope i didn't disturbed you with my comment, i don't want to be rude, or disrespectul to you in any way. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷 take care of yourself, and sorry for my bad english.
Hi! I just want to remember that Shinji got that hopeful ending after a lot of time! Search about ptsd, cptsd, an therapies that help with this, maybe they can help in something if you cant go to therapy.
It says they were recording in 2020 and much of the technology is recent. Also Evangelion came out 25 years ago in 1997, are we getting new Evangelion content soon?!!?
Did you not see 3.0 + 1.0, Thrice upon a time? That might be what they were referring to. If you haven't already seen this, it's from a documentary series on prime from behind the scenes of the final rebuild movie. Very insightful.
The Asian community deserves so much respect nationwide and worldwide. You all are truly some of the greatest innovators and entertainers ever (among many other great things) 😉😎
Are we still pretending Eva was good? Nothing but a pretentious director who's only mark on anime was proving that with enough marketing and timing one can create the worst main character to ever exist in anime and still be successful.
Mind you Retrocrush makes super Click Bait mainstream titles like "Ashita No Joe Channels his Inner One Punch Man" instead of "Original Boxing Shonen Protagonist", GOAT is a stretch, as a director? As a Mecha Genre creator? I get that appealing to people outside of the niche is a thing but have some respect for source material.

0:50 tbh I think Anno just couldn't think of an answer and said "secret! 🙃" 😂
😂 yeah but it was a pretty good answer
I think the answer to the question was far to personal for him to share casually, though he probably didn’t know how to express it in words

You need help
I think there's always a mastermind behind masterpiece.
Japan definitely need to pass some better work laws to prevent employers from overworking their employees.
Hideaki Anno was Film Director making Anime Series Evangelion! And he’s making Evangelion the Movie Final Challenge!
I'm actually surprised to hear him talk so highly of his audience lol
