Neon Genesis Evangelion & Making Arthouse Work

There is a lot of arthouse media out there. Anime certainly has its fair share, and who hasn't watched a Lynch or Jodowrosky film solely to lord your cultural sophistication over your inferiors? Most of them share a common thread of being “art for art’s sake”: impressive on an aesthetic or thematic level while a little lacking in character and narrative, which leaves its wider appeal, ah, limited at best.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is a show that cannot escape its ending. The show’s final stretch is totalizing in the popular discourse - everyone knows it "goes off the rails" in its latter half. Evangelion becomes an arthouse show, throwing reality to the curb in exchange for an assault of abstract and introspective setpieces. At age fourteen when you inevitably first see it, your mind is blown by it all, which is fair if it’s your first taste of the genre. However, coming back to it over a decade later like I did, having seen way more avant-style media than is probably healthy, I expected to enjoy the show but also see it just-another-entry into the genre.

Instead it held up masterfully. Evangelion is replete with flaws if you look at its whole picture, but in the execution of its arthouse appeal I saw it soaring past its competition in so many ways. In hindsight it had to - why else would an entire generation of fans trumpet it as one of the most successful shows of all time despite all those rails it went off? Evangelion, through undoubtedly sheer luck and insanity, stumbled on a way to make arthouse work for audiences beyond its niche, and I think that is the key to what makes the show as a whole function so well.

A World Without Uncertainty

As previously mentioned, most avant animation & film privileges aesthetics first in its visuals. The goal is to evoke a mood or feeling, and whether or not it really connects to the narrative is pretty secondary. I am certainly not bashing that - the way this challenges the viewer creates a unique experience. But even I will admit that sometimes it makes it, well, a bit hard to care about what’s happening on the screen.

Evangelion dodges this problem pretty much completely by making so many of its visual elements extremely direct. Honestly if you look at the majority of the more out-there sections of the show sequence by sequence, they would barely qualify as out of the ordinary! To choose one, take one of my favourite moments from Episode 26:

This sequence is not a mind-boggling piece of animation, at all. The concept of an outer frame that contains fast-moving images that reflect the nature of that frame is not new - ever seen this before?

--- It even has a red background, the hacks! ---

Not exactly the peak of avant-garde cinema here. Evangelion adds to the directness because this sequence is playing to illustrate that, literally, Shinji's identity is composed of the people in his life, and his desires are shaped by how they see him. It’s one of the core themes of the show - other people's conceptions of you are, in a way, just as much "you" as your own conception of you. What better way to illustrate that concept visually than having those people flashing through the frame of your body? While still an abstract animation sequence, it is not at all "art for the sake of art". It’s tied directly to the narrative, with a clear meaning - there is even dialogue partially explaining it.

This clarity exists for most of the more out-there sequences in Evangelion. The show's real "challenge" to the audience comes in how it strings sequences like these together, often at a breakneck pace. While in isolation they are only borderline abstract, when thrown together you are pounded down by the mix of themes and aesthetics. Look at Asuka's breakdown in Episode 22:

The scene has a cool visual design with the color contrast, to heighten the faceless crowd vibe - which it should, because Asuka is constantly fighting to not drown in a sea of anonymity, to stand out from the crowd and be the best pilot, to rely on no one but herself - and yet she constantly fears she is doomed to fail. This pretty-clear sequence, though, jumps quickly into this:

Then goes into this:

--- Eat your seizure-warning heart out, Pokemon ---

And in 20 seconds the show has thrown a half dozen thematic ideas at you via abstract representation. The viewer is absolutely overwhelmed on their first viewing from this, it becomes an aesthetic and you get that unique “arthouse experience”. But almost none of it is art for art's sake - you are watching a plot, a narrative, it almost all has dialogue explaining it. If you slowed it down you could get almost all of these scenes on the first watch, and on a rewatch you will probably pick it up fully. It’s this merging of abstraction and concreteness that elevates Evangelion above most other arthouse animation I've seen; you are constantly challenged, but never so much as to surrender and give up.

(Note: When I say that these scenes are “direct: or “clear”, I don’t mean that they have only one meaning, or that everyone will agree on the meaning. Their meaning is based on many other scenes, each with their own ambiguities and layers, and those differences will multiply out over the course of the show to result in varied interpretations. That process is different, however, from scenes having only aesthetic content, with no or little inherent narrative grounding.)

Realizing the Obvious Over and Over

Okay, the art itself walks the clarity/abstraction line, but even if it is connected to the narrative, why do this? Why would an audience want something that was a "typical" show to move in this direction? A lot of viewers have commented on the severity of the "shift" in the later episodes of Evangelion (generally starting around episode 16), a disconnect the fandom has not failed to capitalize on:

This split has its own meta-narrative, based on the production history of the show. Anno's growing mental illness - always present from the beginning - and huge production woes involving having to scrap already-complete episodes, caused a "breaking point" around this time where he threw caution to the wind and let capital-D Depression take the wheel. While there is some truth to this in the meta-sense, I have never liked the idea that the show itself has such a split. I instead see the more arthouse final stretch as more-or-less a natural outgrowth of the narrative, not a meta-split. In particular, the arthouse second "half" only functions as a reflection of and continuation of the more traditional first half, and without that first half it would fall on its face.

To show why that is the case, I want to explain a type of narrative arc that really hits my personal aesthetic in long form media that I am calling now and forever more the "Multifaceted Character Arc". Essentially, these are when characters have a core arc, and over the course of events they resolve this arc - but the show or book or what-have-you is only halfway done. They could just have a second, different arc, but instead the resolution of their previous arc proceeds to be undermined, picked apart, and exposed as a partial lie, and the character realizes they haven't resolved anything yet; and so the same arc continues, but from a different angle.

Evangelion embodies this trope on turn-it-up-to-eleven steroids. Episode 16 might be the "split" point in the meta-sense, but I always looked at Episode 12 as the narrative split-point, where the first half "ends". Episode 12 wraps up with Shinji, Misato, Asuka, and Rei having a ramen dinner together after beating an Angel, and so many of their previous arcs are "resolved". Shinji has opened up, comfortable with his surrogate family and no longer pushing them away, Asuka is letting her guard down and actually thought about Misato when choosing where to eat, something early-Asuka wouldn’t be caught dead doing, Rei is socializing, and so on. Shinji even admits why he wants to pilot the Eva (praise from his father), which has been one of his "arc" question up until this point, and he seems to have finally figured things out.

--- This might actually be the last happy expression Shinji has till the finale ---

Of course, the directing will have none of that, because this is a false peace. Misato, who is wise to the wider narrative, knows exactly on how shaky a ground this is all built on, and gives Shinji the side-eye to prove it.

--- The “we call those daddy issues, Shinji” face ---

Episode 13 is a Ritsuko side-story, and episode 14 is a recap episode....look, I never said Evangelion was perfect, okay? But once episode 15 rolls around all of this narrative build-up starts being completely undone: Shinji and Asuka's stable-ish friendship gains some very-unstable romantic overtones, Misato has a full-on emotional breakdown, and we are off to the races in episode 16 as Shinji's newfound confidence and masculine need to wave his dick around for Asuka's benefit results in one-way ticket to psycho-analysis mind-screw station:

I could go into how these themes develop from here, but that isn’t the focus of this essay. My point with all this build is instead to focus on two core narrative elements: justification, and engagement. All of the out-there elements and pyscho-analytic themes of the second half of Evangelion are present in the first half, and were presented in a typical way - character interactions, dialogue, plot events, and so on. Remember that scene I mentioned before from Asuka's breakdown, of her being swamped by ghostly forms, and how it referred to Asuka’s desire stand alone from the crowd through her skills as a pilot? I know what it meant thematically, cause here is Asuka, implying to you, in dialogue, what that scene is going to mean 8 episodes earlier (“it” is “pilot the Eva”):

And this isn’t even the first scene this theme has come up in, I could pull up a number of screenshots if I needed to of her either implying or directly stating this desire, its conflicts, and having resolutions around them.

The avant latter half of Evangelion can throw half a dozen themes at you in sequences of abstract animation because you have already spent half a season thinking about these issues in normal terms. It’s the multifaceted character arc - they have been continually struggling with these issues and exploring different solutions to them, solutions that seem to fail. On this backdrop, to repeat these themes again using traditional narrative tools would be, well, boring. Evangelion isn’t an essay, it’s a visual medium; the show has set the stage with the regular visual tricks of the trade for exploring these arcs, but in the latter half of the show it pushes what that visual medium can do. With that grounding, unlike in so much avant work, you can fully follow along with it. Essentially, Evangelion made you do your homework before the test.

The Ones You Love Mean More Than Anything

This groundwork is true on an intellectual/comprehension level, but it is also true on an emotional level; not only do you understand better these abstract elements, you also care about them, because they are not just referring back to factual elements but human moments. To take an example, Shinji and Asuka have several fight scenes that occur in abstract-head-space, and in one of them Asuka (wanna guess who my favourite character is?) is ripping into Shinji for how he fails to reach out to her, to make her feel wanted, and she mentions this:

The image here is one of many flashing across the screen at the time, but it’s a flashback to the aftermath of their kiss in episode 15. The “hold” here isn’t metaphorical; it’s a direct reference to how he didn’t hold her during the kiss. If you didn’t think it was clear, look back at the actual episode 15 footage - how the kiss scene focuses entirely on Shinji's hand in all its not-holding-Asuka glory. Like, really:

--- This shot is held for over 15 seconds, with only Shinji’s hand moving. Also a penguin walks by, don’t ask. ---

This is a really impactful call-back, part of the multi-faceted arc, as Asuka continually tries to figure out her feelings for Shinji and fails. Except, the scene being referenced here is not shot as a dramatic relationship moment, it’s a comedy scene. Its honestly hilarious, one of the worst first kisses ever on screen, to the point where Shinji almost suffocates to death because he is such a wuss and Asuka is such a tsundere. And at the end of the show they take this moment and transform it into part of Asuka and Shinji's relationship implosion.

Which means that you care about it! Because you are going to care about two kids’ fumbling attempts at romance far more than an essay on isolation and connection, for all the reasons those narratives traditionally work. Real people never have endless strings of introspection - introspection is something you do on a life that you have otherwise been living, with moments of seriousness and moments of hilarity and dumbness. Evangelion can show that, because it isn’t drama 24/7. Its first 15 episodes have comedy, action, slice-of-life, the works.

I think this is the element that really makes Evangelion stand out - that it can push what is happening onscreen to the limits of abstraction, and you are not only going to understand it, but also remember the human beings it is all happening to. It not only put in the time to make these characters fully-fleshed out, but connects back its new later elements to the moments that made them so fleshed out. It justifies going as far as it does through its arcs, and engages you emotionally as it escalates, while so many attempts at arthouse media either fail or don’t bother with either of those key elements. Evangelion is a show that starts as a highly traditional narrative, ends as an arthouse film, and by binding it all together so tightly makes you think it couldn’t have gone any other way. Which, it turns out, is a pretty good way to make the arthouse elements actually work.

....

Oh yeah, so Neon Genesis Evangelion: 10/10. Like the score? We are supposed to do that, right? That’s my score.

-Tim

---------

Final Notes: I have a bunch of other thoughts on Evangelion, and so while I imagine a lot of the shows we watch are going to get one cohesive essay, I will almost definitely have some follow-up posts - this post is just the main one that connects so many of my biggest takeaways together. I definitely want to write a few on the plot issues and their (non)relevance, the ways Shinji’s arc is perceived by fandom, and some other topics, but I do want to put up a few essays on other anime so we don’t have a massive Evangelion dump starting out the project. Hopefully I will get some inspiration on more topics from all the great ~discourse~ going on around Evangelion right now, and we will see what gets written.

Journal 1-8-21

The censorship of freedom of speech and freedom of thought doesn't end with Trump. It begins with him.

Think about that.

Do you truly believe it's coincidence that is happening the exact same day DC is being overrun by a democrat majority in the house, senate, and presidency with all three branches of law making in their power? While democrats also absorb businesses to monitor and control the information you see and hear through tv networks, google, social media, hollywood, and even universities and college?

Guys?

Violence is violence. Violence is bad. Rioting is bad. This is universally valid.

And the democrats had every opportunity to expand and embrace and use that narrative to unify the country. And they didn't.

Can you honestly believe democrats are calling for unity while trying to force the blame to the terrible event that happened on capitol hill onto 74 million Americans who voted for Trump and tell them to shut up or else be canceled.

While democrats also try to promote, defend, and encourage the absurd racist acts and violence caused at Ferguson, Portland, George Floyd and other "PEACEFUL" protests (riots) through BLM and other Antifa Movements?

How stupid do you think Americans are? Do you think we've forgotten the past six months when thousands of mislead people under the name BLM were permitted to riot and loot hundreds of big cities and small towns to promote racism and violence? To spread the lie that our country should judge people based on the color of their skin and not their character. To cause mass property damage or to set flames to buildings and demolished thousands of people’s homes and businesses to disturb peoples established careers or to displace their families. All under the false narrative that all Americans, even yourself, are inherently and systematically racist. Bullshit. This is an attempt to divide and conquer by the left. And BLM did this with little to no consequence. The media praised and social networks encouraged this violent behavior. While I write this out, Facebook maintains a bookmarked link I can click on the top of my newsfeed that I cannot remove to support and perpetuate outrageous and barbaric behavior, simply because democrats support these terrible crimes. I’d like to believe that these criminals were detained; but on a legal level, very few of these criminals were sent to prison, and then those same criminals who were guilty of their crimes were released from prison thanks to a fundraiser set by Kamala Harris. Unbelievable.

It is profoundly clear that nobody voted for democrats because they believed in their policies. People don't care about democrat policies at all. And this is fact since every politically democratic notion contradicts themselves. So why did anybody vote for these people? Because American Big Tech Corps, Social Networks, Journalists, and media are operated by leftists who abused their power to skew information one direction.

JK Rowling was attacked and screamed at multiple times by her own fanbase when she stated that women are women and we should celebrate women and their accomplishments. This shouldn’t be a harmful thing to say, but Democrats think otherwise. Her statements are offensive and transphobic to democrats since democrats claim that gender has no limits while democrats simultaneously claim that the United States are systematically sexist against women. If that last sentence sounded like it contradicts itself, that’s because it does.

Another example of contradiction is that Democrats scream to defund the police but get ultimately confused and fear for their own safety when the capitol building was raided and overtaken so disgustingly easily. Spoiler Alert to those who haven't watched Monday's episode: The democratic mayor of DC actually ordered the officers to not retaliate too aggressively. Maybe she thought they were BLM supporters and she should've welcomed the violent rioters in for tea. What a complete moron.

CNN along with ABC and MSN are currently trying to take FOX off the air indefinitely completely due to its primarily conservative viewer base and literally nothing else. CNN claim that all republicans and conservatives are evil and if FOX supports them, they’re evil too. CNN’s goal is to eradicate any platform that doesn't support their own democratically controlled political agenda. Wow. Look at how tolerant the left truly is.

The truth is that the Democratic Party is incompatible within itself. In fact, it is it's own enemy. And so to keep people from suggesting different viewpoints within themselves, cancel culture and silence is the solution. If you want to suggest something individualize or different than the collective’s, you’re removed from the community. So you either have to agree with the collective or not speak at at all. Those are the two choices. It’s pathetic, really. The freedom of thought and freedom of speech is already being suppressed and it’s so obvious. Democrats needs to use cancel culture to control and circulate it’s own information within itself and to control itself and to control you to circulate it’s biased information to others to perpetuate their own biased ideologies. Americans were told to watch and listen to the democratic controlled mainstream media and do for what they were told to do - or else be silenced and destroyed by a twitter mob of woke SJWs and small children on every platform. The most disappointing factor of all of this is that cancel culture been embraced by Americans and weaponized for years now, and it’s used to hurt others easily and effectively. I'd be interested in what's considered tyrannical these days because democrats told us all the lie this was an attempt to stop one person who's not a career politician from committing political tyranny in our nation. Instead, we packed the house, senate, and presidency with profitmaking politicians and granted the democrats all three branches of law making power to create an immense imbalance of power. Oh, the irony. If America's trust in institutions hasn't completely collapsed yet, it is now. And this all happened within a week of the election results being finalized. It hasn't even been a week and democrats had every chance to unify the country and they caused more harm instead. It was so simple, and they failed. My God. That's funny. So why cancel culture? Why weaponize violence to create silence? What's the goal of the Democratic Party? Easy. To cause fear. To make you afraid. To make you quiet. To make you listen to them. To obey them. It's a strategy that's worked so well for so long, ... I want this nonsense to stop That is all. Thank you.

They are exhausted of having the bacterial infestation from your local grocery store.You should also bring simple lifestyle changes that need to face the same computer, you aren't quite sure; consider consulting your doctor first.Irrespective of vaginosis, taking Folic Acid.Drink plenty of whole grains contain high fibre contents, so eat them regularly.Many women recommend everywhere and all the bacteria that cause vaginosis.

Contestshipping Review - Part Seventeen - Odd Pokemon Out

Index

-The Title-

@theodd1sout must’ve made this episode.

-Episode Link-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s5cfx7l8jU

Btw the 5th result for when I searched up the episode was a video by @theodd1sout.

(Why am I making comments in the episode link section of the post now)

-The Review-

0:00

So the episode starts out with the narrator explaining that they are on their way to Chrysanthemum island on their boat but in order to get there they need to take two boats and now they are going to the island that has the boat they need to go to next.

Also this:

If you read the conclusion from my last review then you already know what I am going to say.

Even though May should be exited just as much as everybody else and be looking out to the next island, instead she is standing next to everybody else contemplating the letter she thinks was sent by Drew becuase it had a rose come with it.

That unknowing crush thing is an ongoing theme even in the episode that have little to none to do with Drew (This episode is about Ash and Team Rocket).

See even in episodes like this I can find evidence to Contestshipping.

0:29

And now everybody is releasing their Pokemon when they reach the island. Now we can screenshot all of them!

0:41

This theme song is the longest fragment we’ve had in one of these episodes. Skip to 0:53 if you don’t want to hear it

1:02

A bunch of tiny Ryhorn throw a ball of grass at Donphan and then Donphan is so big that even though they want to play the three Ryhorn run off. Donphan continues to follow the Ryhorn until the adult Ryhorn notice and try to fight off Donphan. This creates a stampede and everybody is running away.

1:48

Nurse Joy: Don’t worry kids! I’m coming!

Why is she trying to act so bad-ass here?

So Nurse Joy sends out Maganiam and it uses growl. This puts all of the Ryhorn in a happy state of mind and go back to doing what they were doing.

Then May reads the Pokedex entree for Maganiam.

2:56

And now Grovile is missing from the huge group of Pokemon.

he seems to be fighting a Tropious.

Ohhhh now I remember this episode, I remember liking it a lot too.

Ash: What the hack is Grovile doing?

To be completely 100% honest I do not find heck to be a swear word in the slightest bit but I know that in families that are extremely strict over swearing saying “heck” is like saying “fuck” is our families and we are allowed to do it and all it is just kinda strong I guess and I am proud of this show for letting Ash say “hack” in the most casual way possible becuase it is normal.

why did I just go on a rant about the word heck I am extremely confused.

3:30

So basically Nurse joy says that Tropious has marked that tree as his own (spoilers it’s a boy it’s the same kind of spoilers that I gave that the Arcanine is a girl, you don’t understand why thy at bit of information is important till the end.) and that if anybody came near his tree he would attack, so now they are both having a battle.

Grovile uses leaf Blade or whatever (I cannot for the life of my remember his attacks I watched this episode last back when I was ten) but then Tropious uses something like leave blade, I mean the leaves on his back grow white and they look dangerous and before Grovile can git he is tackled by the huge beast Pokemon, who then uses gust to give Grovile a hard landing on the ground, and once Grovile was on the ground Tropious used Razor leaf.

Nobody said the names of the attacks I can just tell does that make me a pokeani fan?

Then nurse joy calls out for Maganiam to help, so then she (same spoiler as to Tropious being a boy) uses razor leaf on Tropious and gets his attention off of Ash’s Grovile.

After getting his attention she speaks in Pokemon something like “Please stop you are hurting other trainer’s Pokemon” and then Tropious stops fighting.

4:27

So Grovile is very hurt by that fight and so Nurse Joy takes him to the Pokemon Center.

4:42

And now for the team Rocket scheme for the episode.

They want the Tropious to give to the boss, and in order to get it Meowth is going to try and talk to him and try to get him to follow them. When he tried this, he tells Tropious that if he follows them he could have everything he ever wanted like all of the Pokeblock and a pillow for its giant head. None of the stuff Meowth offers is a lie, Tropious asks if this is a lie and Meowth tells him that he isn’t. Tropious asks for one more thing and Meowth says sure, when Jessie and James ask what he wanted Meowth explains that he just wants the Maganiam to come to becuase they are both what is closest to “Pokemon Dating”.

Also before anybody gets mad at me about it being a straight couple and that I’m just making assumptions about the Maganiam being a girl and the Tropious being a boy Meowth actually says that “he just wants Maganiam to come to” and later he says something else but I don’t remember what referring to Maganiam as a girl.

If you want something LGBT+ just remember that Harley is gay.

Meowth you should know how big of a problem that would be.

You know what if they fought it and caught it there would be no problem becuase he is a wild Pokemon.

Also this is unrelated but Tropious has banana’s growing under their heads and all Tropious are known as “Fruit Pokemon” so props to Pokeani for knowing that a banana is a berry, and all berries and technically fruit.

6:58

Maganiam is using her magical flower around her neck to help heal Ash’s Grovile.

Also Grovile likes Maganiam

Oh yay conflict of the episode

So after Nurse Joy and Maganiam leave the room Brock explains how obvious it is that Grovile likes Maganiam. Brock explains that after Grovile lost to Tropious he lost a lot of confidence to tell Maganiam he loves her. After they all leave the room to let Grovile rest Grovile leaves the room to go and talk to Maganiam.

But nobody else knows he’s gone.

8:40

And now Team Rocket is inside of a noticeable af robot to try and steal Maganiam.

Oh look they look Maganiam.

9:03

And now for their stupid speech. Skip to 9:35 if you don‘t want to hear it.

9:35

I’ll live a prediction to what will happen next now.

So Pikachu tries using thunder and fails becuase thunder protection and then Grovile frees Maganiam.

Let’s see how close I get this time.

So what happens is the ship runs off and Ash and friends run after it, then it cuts to Grovile.
