Dark Souls + Neon Genesis Evangelion = 1.5 Minutes of Video You have to See.

This is one obvious labor of love, or possibly insanity.

I'm a big fan of a lot of the stuff gamers post to YouTube, especially when they post something that they've created on their own. I've spent hours checking out covers of mega man music, humorous game commentary, and people breaking games for fun. I've even thrown my own hat into the ring recently with my own video,  but never in a million years did I see this coming

I wish I could find out more about this, but since a lot of the text is Japanese, that's not happening. Basically, someone took the intro to Neon Genesis Evangelion, but replaced all the animation in it with their own Dark Souls themed content. For the casual observer, it may not look like much (the homemade animation isn't exactly spectacular) but if you're a fan of either, or better yet both, you'll quickly see that an amazing amount of care went into creating this video.

The visual content itself mirrors the Evangelion intro exactly. The characters they chose to feature and the iconography featured from Dark Souls is used in a completely appropriate manner. The timing of the cuts, angle of the shots, action being taken, literally everything is a spot on parallel to the Anime it emulates. I can't even imagine how long it took to pull something like this off. 

Anyway, I thought this would be something our readership would find entertaining. If you want to see more content like this, free to sound off the comments below. If you really enjoy the video though, don't forget to give it a "thumbs up" on YouTube as well. It's only fair to the actual creator.

I will always love the opening theme song of Evangelion.

That was awesome! I'm a huge fan of Dark Souls, so that made it even better!

It's been almost 8 years since I've seen Evangelion, but I still got enough out of it to bring back the memories. Good find Angelo!

This is obviously alot of time invested in this vid and must admit i loved it, it looks like the creator of this vid missed his calling as a graphics designer, and i tilt my hat to this one.
