Doing a Series rewatch at the moment.
did you stop watching in this episode or just didn't upload the reaction to the last one and the movie?
@@chisimaznah448 Haven’t watched beyond this episode. Doing the rewatch in the lead up to the final episode recording.
@@_FILMBuFF_ oh ok, hope you're enjoying the rewatch and picking some new things, and hope you enjoy the final episode and movie! Still excited after all this time to hear your insight for those two :)
I really love your reaction&analysis of this seires, so I want you to see EOE, and Evangelion new movie series.
Thank you for ending the show.
man really gave us the Edge of Evangelion
Might be unironically the best joke Ive ever heard
Ah yes the chair 🪑
I've never noticed how important that chair is for this show!
Still waiting on episode 26 🫠
🥲
Sabes por qué no lo ha sacado? Creí que lo había puesto en privado o que solo estaba en patreon
Before people say this, the final 2 epsiodes look like this because of time constraints, not because they run out of budget.
The abstract-like presentation and highly amiguous ending were very controversial back in the 90's. Because of this, many people believe, even 25 years later that the movie was made in response to the backlash, thats a myth, the movie was being made even before the final 2 episodes came out.
Yes. You can even see drafts of clips from the movie (which was to be made) in the preview of this episode
Glad someone already said. The budget myth is so annoying lol
@@m3nta293 I agree so much xD Had schedule problems of various kinds, and some of them were caused by the infamous Sarin Attack in the Tokyo Subway :|
very glad to read this, it's a myth that became quite annoying...
Cause if one thinks about it, anime funding don't work that way. Bad planning can kill the budget, but usually it's not like it magically "ends", as if it was handed down each week xD
Today there is a bit the narrative that most of people hated these two episodes: it's true that they shocked everyone, but a lot of people liked it or came to appreciate it after thinking and re-thinking about it furiously (raises hand...)
About the movie, I knew that too but honestly I think here part of the myth could be true. I mean, maybe it's 100% false but I think it's very possible that part of the audience reaction and the feelings the staff and Anno* had about it permeated into the movies...
*Anno's opinion about the last two episodes waved a lot through the years, but I remember that him and a good bunch of other GAINAX names actually defended it passionately even in very old interviews
(even edgy boy "Eva was only a professional thing with no emotional involvement" Yoshiyuki Sadamoto xD)
What is the source for this by the way? Even I didn’t know the movie was already in production before the series ended.
I hate that i'm so invested on watching him end the series.
Finally, the two episodes that cemented eva in history
Glad you enjoyed!
Been waiting for this one! The classic chair pose, timeless.
I have to say, you are the best reactor I've seen for this series.
I wonder why he stopped making reaction videos for Eva 6 month ago. He was my fav RUclipsr for it. :(
Man, it feels like I've been waiting a lifetime for you to get to this episode (and the one after). I can't wait for the Finale and hopefully, your review of End of Evangelion.
EoE is pretty long, but as it represents two episodes (with even credits inbetween them), you could consider making it two parts so you won't be completely overwhelmed by the editing work.
Godspeed man. You're killing it.
Is the finale coming? 😮
is episode 26 coming out?
Can't believe nobody has mentioned this, but EoE is split into two parts. You could easily make two videos on it.
I mentioned it and everyone yelled at me claiming i was spoiling
@@Goombario37 Everyone is retarded fren. You and me are the only smart ones, and I'm not sure about me.
Are the reactions coming back?😢
Eoe is the explicit physical telling of the conclusion of eva as opposed to the symbolic and vague final two episodes
When you're talking about the last two episodes vs the Final Film, End of Evangelion, both endings are in the same canon, episodes 25 and 26 is just an extended portion of a specific time in the movie, it will make more sense when you watch it.
No Eva videos for quite a while now 😢
This episode cracked my egg a few years back.
?????
Can't believe we're finally here!! Fantastic analysis as always!
Many others have already explained why these last 2 episodes turned out the way they are, and why Anno ended up making EoE. The alternative titles of the 2 "segments" of EoE will definitely give you some hints as well ;) Again, since there is an intermission for the movie, you final edits can definitely be split into 2 which should make editing a bit easier.
Looking forward to the grand finale... Can't wait!!
I cant believe its been half a year already
I just checked back in on this and had the same thought. I wish he’d put HxH on hold for one week and just finish this.
@@GingaEiyuuDensetsu it's true. I love HxH but i wish Evangelion can just have an ending
@@GingaEiyuuDensetsuquiero pensar que le gustó tanto que no está listo para terminarla, no puedo explicar de otra manera ese repentino abandonado de la serie
IF you're talking about One Plus Podcast, their EVA reactions (along with the sister anime, Gurren Lagann) are uploaded in a separate channel called Volume One PLUS. Just in case they are you're referring to.

About the edit of the film into your YT video, one idea could be to cut it in 2 parts, it shouldn't be an issue. It would giveyou more time to express yourself and also a bit more time to create your content.
This is a pretty decent idea. I believe the movie is broken into two parts anyway.
@@jaketurner1502 they are two movies, Death and Rebirt and End of Evangelion
@@gurdimeikenskjaldi5060 he's talking about End of Evangelion, which is cut into two parts. Ep. 25' "Air" and Ep. 26' "Sincerely Yours".
Is episode 26 and the End of Evangelion happening?
Great review. I agree that it was a really abstract episode. Looking forward to the finale. :D
Didn’t he enjoy the show? 😮
I absolutely love the abstract mind scenes. My favourites of Evangelion.
It begins
So what's up with EoE?
Or even just episode 26..
No episode 26 no end of evangelion? :(((
I've been waiting for this...
No episode 26?🥲
Do we know if FB has seen Ghost in the Shell? Feel like he’d like it
really love your vidoes !!!
Here we go again
Unbelievable episode.
you WILL post the movie also, right?
Hear the discussion
I think that you don't read the comments yourself but it is true that the movie "The End of Evangelion" is the "true" ending of the story, we can know this because scenes from the movie were shown in the next episode preview at the end of episode 24, only in an unfinished state, but Anno has also been vocal in defending his vision and artistic decisions behind these last two episodes. They and the movie complement each other they're not two different endings but rather two sides of the same coin and both are canon. Eva is my favorite anime of all time and I think both these final two episodes and the movie are both masterpieces of storytelling and proof of Anno's visionary mind as a creator in two very different ways, I'm sure you'll enjoy both but if you feel there is a lack of conclusiveness to these last two episodes the movie will definitely settle all your concerns.
Not a spoiler but just know one thing: the end of episode 26 IS the end of the show, take it as it is. The movie is actually a retelling of the last 2 episodes with more detail and context.
To be fair, he say in this video that he has no context for what the movie is about, so by verifying is the episodes with more detail and context, technically is a spoiler.
at this point, which "ending" is canon is up to you lol
The movie is also just one of the single greatest pieces of cinema and/or television of all time. I don’t think it matters whether it’s a retelling or an alternate ending or what, it’s too god damn good for that to matter. You can just appreciate EoE as an independent item in a way you can’t with anything else from Eva
Just like the rebuild is merely a continuation of NGE.
@@Amaling honestly, even aknowledging its technical qualities, I really didn't like it back in the days... Didn't even hate it, but I found it unnecessary after the tv finale.
it was like... I dunno you know it was like if someone came and just explained you exactly how 2001 A Space Odissey's Monolyth works, why it works and who made it (ok the books sort of do it but it's another matter xD). Which funnily enough it's a big issue I have even MORE with the Rebuild Movies and the clearer lore Anno disclosed around them.
But thinking about it years and years ago, and after a rewatch, I think I'm glad EoE was made: Aside my personal preferences, I think it's masterfully directed, looks amazing, and it's become iconic anyway, creating discussions, ideas and points of view (both in the viewers and in the animators communities) that made the whole media grow. Basically exactly like these iconic last 2 episodes.
I mean, even if I'd hate the movie (and I don't anyway), just its cover art... how goddamn iconic is it? No question about it xD
will you do End of Eva as well?
yeah he's doing it
@@r_bearnice
You seem to have gotten yourself confused. Both the film and final episode are the ending of Evangelion. The final episodes are rushed and unfinished but provide the abstract emotional context. Its not really a matter of preference - they are both the ending. If I had to choose - I'd say the end of evangelion is far more important than the final episodes and if anything the episodes of the original series should be seen as elaborations on the movie (which is the original intended ending by the way). The plot, characters and most importantly - the main theme of the show dont wrap up until the movie.
WYA?!?
You should also watch the rebuild of evangelion 1 to 4 to complete the experience
As always, amazing analysis. You really caught on to a few things, but you won't get some answers until you get to EoE, so just keep doing your awesome thing! Also, you can divide EoE into 2 parts, as the movie actually treats itself as two segments as well, very similar to the regular episodes with an eye catch in the middle. And, you can skip the Rebuild series, it's nothing more than a cash cow. The films are nothing compared to the original series, or EoE. They were literally just made to turn Eva to a new, more modern audience, as if it was the next Gundam franchise.
Actually, I disagree with you for the most part about the Rebuild movies. Yes, partly it's a way to get more money (but which mainstream show/movie isn't a way to get more money?). I think the Rebuild movies lives up to its name for the most part. A lot of the meanings in the movies aren't translated well for ordinary audience who didn't really pay attention to the deeper themes in the franchise, but for someone like Filmbuff who's very critical, observant and intelligent, he'll definitely pick up on things quickly. I found closure in the Rebuild movies towards the whole series, compared to if I just stopped at EoE.
Anno wanted to make a new evangelion project since 2000. He felt that the anime industry was growing stagnant and hoped to change that even if just a little. At the start, Anno wanted someone else to direct it, but since no one wanted take the pressure of directing a new eva project, he decided to do it himself.
While I do agree (and even Anno himself said this) that the rebuilds were meant to make more money (so that khara would have a foundation and be able to hire and make talented people) and initially to attract a new audience, I find very reduntant to say that they are a cash cow. No creator works in a project for 21 years out of greed and/or spite, specially someone like Anno.
@@daniaaal 同意します。EoEを求めていた人にとってはRebuildは納得できるものではないかもしれませんが、25-26話と同じように、Rebuildはもう一つの物語・結末として間違いなく見る価値はあります
@@GCSlala pretty generous to say he 'worked' on rebuilds for 21 years with the massive breaks between movies where he did a whole bunch of other stuff. can never know how true it is with him but he did pretty much say 'oh yeah i gotta finish eva i guess' or otherwise he probably never would've even made the last one.
eva is a gigantic cash cow in japan, rebuilds or not, and the movies aren't even an actual rebuild, as in a standalone, they pretty much require you to have watched the original series. in other words, it's a big stagnant fanservice circlejerk, no matter whatever his intentions may have been 20 years ago.
Keep in mind when criticizing these final two episodes that they supposedly ran out of funding to finish animating the show lol. I personally love how it ends on this abstract clip show/stage play style of presentation. Even though it’s messy, I’ve never seen anything else like it. Thank you for reviewing this show! You’re the best to do it on RUclips and there isn’t a close second.
Be careful not to spread this early Internet myth of the show running out of money, it's been debunk since then but some people keep up with this old tale for some reason. They were too short on TIME. (I adore these last episodes as well.)
@@mielthesquid6536 And it is in many ways Annos fault because he made a shift major story elements halfway through the series. There were other external factors forcing rewrites, but Anno himself is the most significant factor imo.
@@mielthesquid6536 Thanks for the info! TIL. Seemed obvious there was something up with production at the end, so that makes sense.
I believe other anime have done it better, but Evangelion is clearly a very impactful and influential story for many other anime. I just binged Code Geass, something I was hoping would be on your watch list as it explores this very concept of masks for each person from every perspective. I want to see you break down the story beats of Code Geass, a mere 50 episode anime from 2006.
First
I didn't like this approach. An abstract ending (or an abstract plot in general) feels to me like cheating.
By getting rid of all context, you're clear to have your characters hash it all out.
Put them all in one room in the Void, they can appear when needed. Bring back the dead, no problem. Reuse shots with different outfits, it's all symbolic anyway.
I enjoy exploring characters, but I want that exploration to be grounded in a concrete world, that's my preference.
Now, this Void in particular was really well done, but I still take offense to the Void as as a setting.
Is he aware about how the studio ran out of time and money to finish the show and how these last 2 episodes are *not* the ending that Anno envisioned/wanted and that the movie is actually it?
If that's by choice, then by all means delete this comment Mr. Mod. I just thought it was common knowledge at this point, considering how unfinished this episode looks.
it's okay, He'll eventually find out. Also, I don't think the studio ran out of money. Just time. Otherwise they wouldn't have the budget to come up with the EoE a year later.
Not true 😊
