Best and Worst Evangelion videos I've seen

[TobinHood]

And Savatage sing "This Isn't What We Meant"

[VegettoEX]

) Nine Inch Nails, "Closer," any version.

Not only does this song absolutely and thoroughly suck from both musical and lyrical perspectives, but it's also completely lacking any real emotion, is generally sick and has nothing to do with Eva. So, naturally, no less than 3 different people (maybe more) decided that it would be good for an Eva video. Two of them are ErMaC and Some Stupid Guy With Nothing Better to Do, while the other(s) were/was some pervert(s) with a computer and too much free time. I don't care what anyone else says, Eva is NOT about "wanting to f*ck someone like an animal". At least Some Stupid Guy had the common sense to use footage from the Hentai movie to prove how stupid the idea was.

This is only coming from my personal view of the video (that being Justin's "Closer" video)...

But I think you're missing the point of the video. Justin's video is not about going "word for word" with the lyrics; you have to read between the lines of what Reznor is writing / singing. If you were to going verbatim with the song, yes, you're going to get the lame-ass hentai video.

Shinji doesn't want to "fuck someone like an animal" (with the possible exception of Kaoru.. heh... sorry, too easy ;_;). However, the feeling behind what's being said and the general expression of pent-up anger that can't be dealt with is what's being reflected in the visuals. This kind of example happens throughout the entire video.

If you're basing a music video on its literal graphical representation of what's on the screen, that leaves ABSOLUTELY NOTHING up to the imagination of the video creator. That's a pretty sad thing. The whole point is to be able to make something NEW with the footage... do something that might not have originally been there.

Metaphorical representations on-screen show much more than a literal representation ever could. You have to think about it more, but that makes it all the more worthwhile.

I do agree with you, however, that Derek's "Frozen" video is also phenomenal.

Forgive me father, for I have sinned. ;_;

Hmm hey it's not downloadable - I never got to see this one before MJ, are you really re-making it currently like the video description said?

Actually, I might redo it but I'm more trying to purge the original version from my memory banks. It was pretty bad. =P

[the Black Monarch]

What does the lyrics "Come come my baby, you're my butterfly, sugar baby" have to do with Eva?... ha haha...

Well, I had to put the giant robot battles SOMEWHERE in the song, didn't I?

I'm not joking. I really did use the fight scenes for the chorus because nothing else fit. But the verses fit very well! I posted specific examples on the download page. And when I couldn't find a literal match, I just stuck in a scene of someone (usually Misato or Shinji) getting emotional about something.

Resident Eva would be one of the best i've ever seen.

Resident Eva sucked. I wrote more comments in my bad section than all of the rest of the reviews combined!

2) Offspring, "Get a Job"
Whoever made this video deserves to die the most horrible and painful death imaginable, a hundred times a day for all of eternity. He will become Satan's #1 bitch in the afterlife, and learn the true meaning of being ass-raped. The very content of this video is too horrible for me to even begin to describe. It tries to be funny but fails miserably, and has nothing to do with Eva. .

Dude(ette?) Hold your tounge! That video was GREAT.

What does the fact that it had nothing to do with eva matter? does that automatically make me Eva Meets Cleo video suck? NOOOO.

Heh heh, let's see you top that review for the re-review of Opus considering there's X3 more content to talk about. x.x (no, I'm not serious about it) =P *boggle*

Ya know, the thing is, and im talking about the actually series here, not that hentai movie. You know when you watch porn(oh come on every has atleast once) or actually in almost any movie that has some sex in it, you can sense when the sex scenes about the kick in, theres just that mood change in the movie where you know "oh, here comes the sex!." Now, Im still not sure why, well I sort of know why, and I know im not the only one, but when I watched Eva from start to finish(got the whole series on DVD) I always get that sense that the sex scenes about to come, and of course it doesnt. But, when watching Eva, I got that feeling a lot, and it really messed with my head.
Anyway, my point is, I dont think that song is entirely innapropriate because in one way or another that song could be interperted has dealing with a lot of sexual frustration. And if you dont think Eva ever had that theme going on too, you need to watch it again.

Perhaps eventually, if I ever end up being REALLY bored I'll re-review opus for you. I'm currently writing to extensive reviews, one for YCSTR for his spidy trailer, and one for Hakura for her new video.

Xanthrax eat your heart out!

Hey no worries Nailz, I'm was only joking about it. ^_^

Save your review time for my future videos instead. =P
