    Hey, I know that there is this one NHK documentary about hideaki anno with the length of 75 minutes telling his story regarding the completion of Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0.
    I thought that this video is that one until I find another video. Could you tell me more about this video? Like the broadcaster and the synopsis. I am intrigued as well to this video

    I feel bad for this guy to have gone through a major depression that resulted in his writer’s block and simplifying things in the movie…

    Now i fully understand about Hideaki Anno's words of "Anime industry right now is dead"

    Neon Genesis Evangelion nearly drove me to suicide.

    Seeing Shinji suffering is like seeing myself suffer, because at one point in time I was almost exactly like him, especially back in 10th grade when I was bullied to the brink of suicide. I simply cannot tolerate watching Eva. I felt forced to relive my trauma upon viewing it. I’m deathly afraid of it. Twice I had a nightmare where I saw myself as Shinji choking Asuka and starting the Third Impact. I’ve been struggling with this newfound depression ever since.

    I was obsessed with the series for over a year to try and outwit the isolation of the Coronavirus pandemic. It only increased the burden, and kept the memory of my friend’s recent suicide alive.

    Watching the End of Evangelion was like peering into a broken mirror, and I was viewing the hell I would’ve put myself through had things turned out differently, had I decided to give up living. It still haunts me to this day.

    Sometimes I hated myself because I failed to appreciate what so many have claimed to idolize, and I would beat myself further for failing to prause what they call praiseworthy, I forced myself to watch a show that reminded me of nothing but pain just so I wouldn’t be alone anymore, I was willing to sacrifice my individuality for some company amidst the isolation of the pandemic.

    I sought emotional refuge in the Evangelion fandom on social media, hoping they’d understand me and provide me with answers that would grant me peace of mind. Instead, they downplayed my trauma, going so far as to spread a rumor of my past to shame me of my mental illness, spiraling me deeper into depression, which I’ve been struggling with for over a year now.

    I just wanted Shinji to be happy, so this past self of mine can be laid to rest once more. I’m afraid to decouple myself from him after losing my friend to suicide, which Eva made me feel responsible for, especially when I saw Shinji kill Kaworu, of which I fail to understand how anyone can call it praiseworthy. Until then, I feel nothing else mattered.

    There’s a reason why I keep coming back to Evangelion; something that reminds me of nothing but pain.

    I want to prove to myself I’m not crazy for feeling this way, that Evangelion really did force me to relive my trauma, that my depression is not just a figment of my imagination or another anime plot point. I want to feel that my fear and resentment towards Eva is justified.

    But the fact I’m the only one I know in existence who’s been traumatized by an anime makes me feel like I really am crazy.

    But finally, with Evangelion 3.0+1.0 released, I can rest easy knowing that Shinji has finally reached the light at the end of the tunnel. Evangelion is finished, and I want it to remain that way.

    But if things hadn’t turned out that way, I wouldn’t be here today.

    Animator: * Raises head off of desk and yawns *
    Guy next to him, head still on desk: "Wow — you're at the office early this morning."

    Hard work, dedication, sacrifice, pain, and suffering is what these artists pour into their creation. The effort shown in this video gives me goosebumps and is inspirational. Bravo bravo to everyone who gave us this work of art.

    I understand Anno saying that anime is dead because all the animations on this documentary are Otaku-pandering content, plus inexperienced directors that get inspiration from old and stablished anime franchises instead of real life.
