Asuka Shikinami Langley - The Subtle Characterization of a Cold Optimist

Neon Genesis Evangelion has been a show that has been around for quite a long time It's fair to say it's one of the most important pieces of fiction of all time. But since it's been analyzed so much I decided to move my focus onto the Rebuilds of Evangelion, a quadrilogy of films that retells the story in a completely different way. And what better way to show that difference than to study and analyze one of the most underrated characters of them all, Asuka Shikinami Langley.

You'll even get to understand her importance to not just the people in her life but mine as well. The rebuilds may not be perfect, but they mean more than people give them credit for, you just have to look in the right places.

This is a re-edited version that required visual changes due to Youtube's fair use policy and copyright laws being poorly written Discord rules.
