The music video for Evangelion's theme song "Beautiful World," directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, is now streaming on YouTube with English dub and subtitle options. The short combines new animation with footage from the Rebuild of Evangelion film series, offering a concise, thematic look at the franchise's core elements.
Directed by Tsurumaki, known for his work on FLCL and Kare Kano, the video serves as a visual accompaniment to the iconic song. It captures the series' signature blend of mecha action, existential drama, and poignant character moments, all set against a backdrop that touches on cyberpunk and teen angst themes.
While not a narrative episode, the music video provides a concentrated dose of Evangelion's distinct atmosphere. Its availability on YouTube makes it an accessible revisit for long-time fans and a glimpse into the franchise's aesthetic for the uninitiated.
