New live action/animated music video made by Khara coming to Netflix March 15. Looks like it could be interesting, I'm hoping Khara gets to expand upon what they started with the Expo in the post Evangelion Era with more original work. Perhaps this is the start of it.
I mean, predictability is the central attraction and the narrative hook that we've all come to expect from the Evangelion franchise. How come Anno can't realize this? Twice? - FreakyFilmFan4ever

Loving the aesthetics! To be honest, I have never been a huge fan of Japanese live-action, but Netflix has been generating some big hits (and Korean shows too)!

Oh this is interesting. I'll keep an eye (heh) out for where this goes
I can see why Gendo hired Misato to do the actual commanding. He tried it once and did an appalling job. ~ AWinters
Your point of view is horny, and biased. ~ glitz2hard
What about titty-ten? ~ Reichu

Yeah, the aesthetic is really good. I’ll certainly watch it.

Khara’s involved, okay, but how are they involved? Animation is clearly the thing we would assume to come from them, but some of those love-action shots give me a lot of Love & Pop vibes. Some of them even look like they were shot on Mini DV! (Which is nearly absurd to think of in a day and angle where smartphones exist!)

The director of Me!Me!Me! did one of the three segments.
Shinji: "Sooner or later I'll be betrayed... And they'll leave me. Still... I want to meet them again, because I believe my feelings at that time were real."
Ryuko: "I'm gonna knock ya on your asses!"
-Asuka: THINK IN GERMAN!!! -Shinji: Öh... Baumkuchen...
Hayashida: "As game developers, our work is special. All of us here can put smiles on very many people's faces with our work."

Adam by Eve in general was alright. Mostly a long music video, with a not so clear but neat story. I enjoyed it for the visuals.

But the clear highlight for me was the khara/Yoshizaki short in this.

SPOILER: Show
When the Me!Me!Me! dance was included I was like hmmm...nice reference, but why is it becoming so prominent? But its inclusion does thematically make sense. Great use of it.
Also:
Shinji: "Sooner or later I'll be betrayed... And they'll leave me. Still... I want to meet them again, because I believe my feelings at that time were real."
Ryuko: "I'm gonna knock ya on your asses!"
-Asuka: THINK IN GERMAN!!! -Shinji: Öh... Baumkuchen...
Hayashida: "As game developers, our work is special. All of us here can put smiles on very many people's faces with our work."
