Animeme: Evangelion OP

May 15, 2008 – 11:42 pm

Neon Genesis Evangelion has a very epic opening sequence, really one of the the best there is. From the song to the almost subliminal high-velocity visuals towards the end this OP (and the series itself) is truly revolutionary. To my disappointment though, GAINAX didn't create a remake of the OP even though they managed to copy the first 6 episodes of the original anime almost religiously in the recent first Rebuild of Evangelion movie. Thankfully, the great otakus of Japan and the world have come up and are coming up with unique homages of this great OP. Even when the original is already around 13 years old, the parodies still keep coming. It stands the test of time, and I think this is the oldest animeme in my book, way before the video internet is even born. I recall I even had small asf/rm videos of Evangelion OP parodies. There also is, of course, the classic Budweiser ad spoof. Good times baby, good times.

True, true.

P.S. And there's the Mentos one too.

Haruhi… I mean, yeah, Haruhi Sunday, 8 November 2009, 8:12 am

I'm tired of Haruhiism sometimes, so the better Haruhi should step up to the plate this time.

"He's so talented." This is a story of an otaku's awesome dedication. I continue to lose words, this is really awesome.
