Way back in the 90s, Evangelion was the hot anime thing. Its complex characters and quasi-religious/philosophical/Macguffin filled plot fueled a cottage industry of merchadise and conspiracy theories and I loved it!
Now, the team at Mega 64, famous for their numerous sweded productions of video games and anime, have turned their eyes to Hideaki Anno’s masterpiece and it is a riot. The fact that they were able to condense such a convoluted 26 episode series into just over 5 minutes is amazing and is well worth a watch.
The ‘making ofs’ are also illuminating as you can see that a lot of passion and heart went into these short films. Enjoy!
