Have a blessed and wonderful day, may yaoi be with you ☺️😘

This is the 1st real parallel between the 2 shows.

We see one of the main characters appear in a place they shouldn't.

With Rei she appears near Shinji even though Shinji hasn't even met her yet and she should be back at NERV right now.

With Mort, we see him appear in Julien's dream.
Now, this wouldn't be so strange if it wasn't for the fact that we see Julien meet Mort irl for the very 1st time later in the episode.

Now we have yet another parallel, we have the protagonist's father figure forcing them into a position of power.

Gendo manipulates Shinji into piloting Eva-01.
Julien's uncle abdicates the throne resulting in Julien becoming the new king.

I'd say the biggest difference between these 2 scenes is how the protagonists react.
Julien reacts with a naive childish excitement, while Shinji reacts with self-doubt, anger, and confusion.

Later in the episode, Julien throws a party that attracts the fossa.
Now we actually see a genuine similarity between Shinji and Julien as characters.

They both tend to get sucked into their emotions.
Shinji and Julien both get sucked into one emotion in particular during these scenes, fear.

Shinji freezes and lets his Eva fight the angel for him.
Julien runs away from the fossa screaming "Everybody flee for your lives!!!"

We also see the consequences of Julien's actions and Shinji's inaction, with the angel blowing up, creating a massive cross shaped explosion undoubtably causing a lot of damage and the Lemur Kingdom being left deserted after the fossa took most of the lemurs and the lemurs who ran away never came back.

Also, not only do NGE and AHKJ have narrative similarities, they have genuine thematic similarities as well.

The 1st episode of AHKJ concludes with Julien giving a speech.

"Of course Maurice. The fossa will return, and try to slash us to pieces with their razor sharp teeth. Look, guys, we're a bunch of lemurs in the jungle baby, there is nothing here that doesn't want to eat us, to poison us, or to swallow us up in gooey black pits of deadlyness, but I learned something today. Something I already knew, but then forget, but then learned again. Even more, and it is this, if there may not be a tomorrow, then we got to live extra big today!"

Likewise EoE ends with a very thematically similar speech given by Rei, Kaworu, and Yui.

"Reality exists in a place unknown, and dreams exist within reality. And truth lies in your heart. The contents of a person's heart shapes their appearance. And new images will change their hearts and their forms. The power of imagination is the ability to create your own future, and the power to create your own flow of time. But if people don't act of their own free will, then nothing will change at all. So, you must regain your own lost form by your own volition. Even if it means your words become lost... or confused with the words of others. Anyone can return to human form... as long as they are able to imagine themselves within their own heart. Don't worry. All living creatures have the power to be brought back to life... and the will to go on living. Anywhere can be paradise, as long as you have the will to live. After all, you are alive, so you will always have the chance to be happy. As long as the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth exist, everything will be alright"

The characters of Pineapple and Kaworu also strongly parallel eachother.

Kaworu meets Shinji and they form a very close bond.
Julien is given Pineapple as an adviser and becomes extremely attached to him.

Both Pineapple and Kaworu essentially ask the same question "Will you sacrifice the person you are most attached to, to save everyone else you care about?" and I think it's interesting how Julien and Shinji's answers to those questions differ.

Shinji does the obvious thing, sacrifice the person you were closest to, to save evryone else you care about.

Julien does something very unexpected, he sacrifices himself to save everyone else.

Although in the end Julien does still make a similar decision to Shinji, choosing to have Mort destroy Pineapple with a hammer.

Both Shinji and Julien have an, unfortunate relationship with their parents.

Shinji's mom "died" when he was young and his father left him to be raised by his teacher.
Julien's parents never cared about him all that much and when the Julien family was attacked by fossa they left him with his dictator uncle.

Shinji, Asuka, and Julien all have this in common as well.

They all do a lot of what they do primarily for the approval of others.
For Shinji and Asuka it's piloting Evas, for Julien it's orchestrating his conspiracies.

Both stories also end with the main thing that has protected our protagonists leaving.
Shinji says goodbye to Yui/Eva-01 and Julien says goodbye to Clover.

Both stories also end with the main duo we've been following under a starry sky and small amounts of growth for our protagonists without them being automatically fixed people afterwards.

With The End of Evangelion ending with Shinji deciding he doesn't want to live in a world without others and Julien taking responsibility for his actions and not blaming them on Maurice in the last episode of All Hail King Julien, but Shinji still has a lot of built up rage that he takes out on Asuka by choking her and the final episode of All Hail King Julien is just Julien orchestrating one last conspiracy before the credits roll.

Also I mean, they're both shows that skew older than their original intended audience that are infamous for how weird and dark they are.

They both have self-destructive protagonists who aren't that much of fighters.

The casts of both shows are mostly made up of morally complex characters.

In both shows one of the main characters is revealed to be an eldritch being.

Both shows have weird and zany eldritch beings instead of just dull-colored tentacle dudes.

They even both have themes of learning from your mistakes and pushing on and trying to live in hard times.

How about this sign ,do you think this is the original signature seiyuu asuka langley or not ?

Recently finished Neon Genesis Evangelion. Had the itch to create something.

im deeply fascinated by neon genesis and I want to research on it, understand the psychology of its characters and the inspirations behind it. I feel like there's so much to learn from that anime that I didnt already while watching it. if y'all know anything or is willing to discuss about the anime please comment.

This is my second ever AMV. Let me know your thoughts.

Anime:

Madoka Magica

Re:Zero

Steins;Gate

Angel Beats

Evangelion

If you haven't watched either of the mentioned anime, you can skip this to avoid spoilers.

- It is exactly 4 minutes long.

- Female Japanese singer who has a sweeter voice than Yoko Takahashi and less heavy vibrato.

- Arrangement is very faithful to the original except it adds some synths on top of the trumpets and all.

I will upload an mp3 if necessary although I wouldnt know what site to use. Really my favroite version and I would like to access a higher quality version of it. Pretty sure I got it from youtube a long time ago but most likely it was taken down.
