5 Things You May Not Know About Evangelion’s ‘A Cruel Angel’s Thesis’
Impress your friends at your next karaoke session with these little-known facts about the iconic anime song
August 2, 2024
“A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” might just be the most popular anime song of all time. In both Japanese and Western surveys, the opening theme from Hideaki Anno’s Neon Genesis Evangelion performed by Yoko Takahashi is often ranked at the very top by anime fans and karaoke goers. Even people who aren’t really into Japanese animated shows may have picked up the song’s famous opening lyrics, Zankoku na tenshi no you ni … (“Like a cruel angel …”) through pop culture osmosis. Yet for all of the song’s popularity, there are still some things about it that you may not know, like how …
1. Yoko Takahashi Still Practices the Song Daily
Neon Genesis Evangelion premiered nearly 30 years ago in 1995. People can change a lot in that time, especially singers. Their voices may not be what they used to be or they may not have the same range or lung capacity, but it’s OK because nobody expects them to sing exactly like they did three decades ago.
Except for Yoko Takahashi. She expects herself to perform “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” during live performances just like she did in 1995 to transport the fans back in time to when they first encountered the show that most likely got them into anime. It’s why in past interviews, the singer has admitted to still practicing the song for up to two hours a day, focusing especially on the a cappella intro, which she finds particularly challenging.
2. The Song’s Title Was Inspired by an Incredibly Dark Manga
In interviews, the song’s lyricist, Neko Oikawa, claimed that the title “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” was a nod to the comic book A Cruel God Reigns ( Zankoku na Kami ga Shihai Suru ). Created in 1992 by Moto Hagio, the manga is set in the US and tells the story of 15-year-old Jeremy who tries to murder his sexually abusive stepfather but ends up killing both his stepfather and his own mother.
The guilt eventually drives Jeremy into using drugs, which he affords by prostituting himself. Thankfully, none of that made its way into the final song, which, according to Oikawa, was inspired by the concept of “motherhood.”
3. Hideaki Anno Originally Wanted To Use Music From a Russian Opera for the Opening
There is a lot of symbolic imagery in Neon Genesis Evangelion, which fans of the show have analyzed again and again over the years. Hideaki Anno probably should have told them sooner not to waste their time. A lot of the visuals and plot points in Evangelion are, apparently, there simply because they seemed cool to him . Though in later interviews , Anno talked about finally embracing the complexities that fans saw in his creation, his approach to the original anime series was, basically, “No plans; just vibes.”
That’s possibly why, before contracting out the opening theme, he wanted to use something different and experimental to start off the show. His first choice was “Polovtsian Dances” from Act 2 of Alexander Borodin’s opera Prince Igor , the same song that opened the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. The idea was ultimately shot down by the studio.
4. The Lyrics Were Slapped Together at the Last Minute
Neko Oikawa wasn’t closely involved with the making of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Her entire introduction to the project was a 30-minute meeting (without the music director, Hidetoshi Sato) and a screening of the first two episodes of the anime on fast-forward. After that, she was told to basically write whatever she wanted, as long as it felt “philosophical.” The writer admits it took her about two hours to complete the assignment.
5. There Are a Few Tricks to Singing the Song Perfectly
Yoko Takahashi was asked to sing the opening’s a cappella intro “in a child’s voice” or “like a teenager” (despite being 30 at the time). This, combined with some of Neko Oikawa’s difficult lyrics and the song’s tempo, provided a challenge to Takahashi, which she has learned to overcome over the decades. She then took all that she’s learned and put it into a 2021 instruction book of vocal exercises specifically for singing “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” and “Soul’s Refrain” — the theme from Evangelion: Death and Rebirth — perfectly. She recommends that fans of the song first “practice at a slow tempo … Just slow down at first and pay attention to the melody of the a cappella.”
However, the most important piece of advice that Takahashi has for fans is to not get discouraged. The singer herself reportedly still feels nervous when performing the intro to Evangelion because it really is a difficult song. But, as she says , the sense of accomplishment you get when you get through the whole thing is more than worth the effort.

Zankoku na Tenshi no These
" Zankoku na Tenshi no These " (残酷な天使のテーゼ, Zankoku na Tenshi no Tēze ? , " A Cruel Angel's Thesis ") is the theme song of the popular anime Neon Genesis Evangelion performed by Yoko Takahashi . It is used as the opening to the series, and two instrumental versions of it are played in the final episode, " Take care of yourself. " These are "The Heady Feeling of Freedom" and "Good, or Don't Be", scored for violin, piano, and guitar. "The Heady Feeling of Freedom" is a somber and reflective piece for bowed strings and guitar, while "Good, or Don't Be" is played to a light piano and guitar tone. A similar version can also be heard during the intermission between the two parts of Evangelion: Death and Rebirth .
The single was released on 25 October 1995 within the Zankoku na Tenshi no These (Single) the catalog number KIDA-116 and it also reached a peak rank 17 in the Oricon album database, appearing in the ranks 61 times.
Unlike what is commonly assumed, this song was written without any involvement from the show's creators. [1] Anno originally wanted to use an excerpt from Borodin's Polovtsian Dances in the opening, but the producers did not approve of this and instead decided to use a J-Pop song, which eventually resulted in the creation of "A Cruel Angel's Thesis". The lyricist, Neko Oikama had next to no knowledge of the show. Oikama simply skimmed through a proposal of the show (possibly Neon Genesis Evangelion Proposal ) and watched unfinished versions of two episodes on fast forward, only serving to broadly "fit" the anime after the fact. [2] [3] [4] Oikama took inspiration for the title from the manga A Cruel God Reigns . [5] She said the lyrics "become a legend" were originally "become a weapon". She was orientated that the show was "difficult and philosphical". Oikama described it as: "older women", "mothers" and "14-year-old boys and girls", and decided to make it about the perspective of a mother when her child "leaves the nest". [6] The original song included a male chorus, which was cut at director Hideaki Anno's request in order to "emphasize maternal affection". [7] The writing process for Episode:01 took as long as six months, [8] and the opening sequence was not yet finished. [9] [10] Singer Yoko Takahashi was also brought in relatively haphazardly and had no knowledge of the series, and would only see the opening featuring her voice when it aired on TV. [11] She had also first met Anno on the day of recording. [12]

[13]
During the instrumental break in the middle of the song, a chorus can be heard. The lyrics to the chorus are not in Japanese, nor in any other recognizable language. According to the January 1996 issue of Newtype magazine, the lyrics can be phonetically transliterated into Japanese as 「ファリィア。セタ(or セパ）メッソ。ファリィア。トゥスェ」 "Fariya. Seta (or sepa) messo. Fariya. Tuse" , and they are supposedly written in an untranslated language passed down from ancient times. One could entertain the possibility that they are written in the same language as that of the Dead Sea Scrolls . [14]

The Man Who Turned an Olympics Documentary Into an Anime Parody Explains What the Heck He Was Thinking
Of all things to feature an expertly created anime parody, a documentary about the 1998 Winter Olympics is easily among the least likely. And yet: The Nagano Tapes , a 2018 film that tells the story of the Czech hockey team’s quest for gold in Nagano, Japan. An otherwise straightforward tale of the team winning the Czech Republic’s first-ever gold medal in hockey, The Nagano Tapes starts off with a hilariously creative bang that any anime fan will instantly recognize. Its introductory credits are a clear riff on the opening to Neon Genesis Evangelion , the influential and widely acclaimed series from the mid-1990s.
The montage that kicks off The Nagano Tapes is scored to Evangelion ’s famous theme song, “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis,” and somehow makes the recounting of Olympic history tonally similar to the story of teenagers who are forced to pilot giant fighting robots in order to fend off an impending apocalypse (and some major existential angst). It’s weird, it’s nonsensical, and it is the best thing that the internet randomly found this week , three years after The Nagano Tapes premiered. Maybe it’s because we’re (maybe) looking forward to another Olympics in Japan this year, or maybe it’s because it was a slow news week for anime nerds—either way, the film’s director and self-proclaimed Evangelion mega-fan Ondřej Hudeček was excited to discover that the internet was suddenly in love with his creation.
We reached about to Hudeček about how and why this Evangelion parody came to be—and how it made it into this fairly sober Olympics history movie in the first place. Below, he tells the story in his own words.
When I was working on the opening sequence of The Nagano Tapes , I wanted to find a way to communicate with the audience right from the start that this is not going to be a story only about hockey. Eventually I came up with the idea of a fast-paced montage with title cards featuring the topics covered throughout the film. The biggest challenge was to find a song that would go well with the montage and that would also set the cheeky, subversive tone of the film—and that’s where “Cruel Angel’s Thesis” came in. In the late ’90s when the Winter Olympic Games in Nagano took place, a friend of mine introduced me to Neon Genesis Evangelion and I instantly became a huge fan. Many years later, while working on the film, I tried to sneak in as many details from that period of my life as possible in order to make it more personal. Naturally, I remembered NGE ’s opening credits sequence with its title cards, and it suddenly made a perfect sense to try to do something similar that would work both as a narrative tool and a homage to my favorite series from that time. I put it together and showed it to my producers, who were quite surprised by my choice at first, but quickly fell under the spell of the song and supported my decision. As you can imagine, it was not easy to license the music, and it took quite a lot of time, but in the end, we were able to do it, and so the opening montage was born. When the film was released, there were a few people who recognized the music in the opening sequence, but it wasn’t until [yesterday] that it went viral—which I certainly did not expect to happen three years after the premiere.

A Cruel Angel's Thesis
A Cruel Angel's Thesis is the opening theme song for the series Neon Genesis Evangelion , composed by Hidetoshi Sato and sung by Yoko Takahashi . The lyrics are by Neko Oikawa while the arrangement is by Toshiyuki Omori. The song also has the distinction of taking first place in the JASRAC Awards. [1]
This song was written with relatively limited involvement from Hideaki Anno and the production staff, being handled by producer Toshimichi Otsuki . [2] Anno originally wanted to use an excerpt from Borodin's Polovtsian Dances in the opening, but the producers did not approve of this and instead decided to use a J-Pop song, which eventually resulted in the creation of this song by Neko Oikawa.
Oikawa apparently had very little knowledge of the show, which was under production at the time with the episodes not having been colored. According to tweets and interviews, Oikawa went through a proposal of the show (possibly Neon Genesis Evangelion Proposal ) and watched two unfinished episodes on fast-forward, only serving to broadly "fit" the anime after the fact [3] [4] The writing process for Episode 01 took as long as six months, [5] and the opening sequence was not yet finished. [6] [7] The original song included a male chorus, which was cut at director Hideaki Anno's request in order to "emphasize maternal affection". [8]

Oikawa states that she took inspiration for the title from the manga A Cruel God Reigns . [9] Among other statements, Oikawa said the lyrics "become a legend" were originally "become a weapon" and that she decided to make the song about the perspective of a mother when her child "leaves the nest." [10] Singer Yoko Takahashi was also brought in relatively haphazardly and had no knowledge of the series, and would only see the opening featuring her voice when it aired on TV.

Original Japanese Lyrics: Neko Oikawa
| 残酷な天使のように 青い風がいま だけどいつか気付くでしょう その背中には 残酷な天使のテーゼ ずっと眠ってる もしもふたり逢えたことに 意味があるなら 残酷な天使のテーゼ 人は愛をつむぎながら 歴史をつくる 残酷な天使のテーゼ | Zankoku na tenshi no yō ni Aoi kaze ga ima mune no doa wo tataitemo Dakedo itsuka kizuku deshō Zankoku na tenshi no teeze Zutto nemutteru watashi no ai no yurikago Moshi mo futari aeta koto ni imi ga aru nara Zankoku na tenshi no teeze Hito wa ai wo tsumugi nagara rekishi wo tsukuru Zankoku na tenshi no teeze | Like a cruel angel, A blue wind is now Something gently touching-- But someday I think you'll find out The cruel angel's thesis Sleeping for a long time Moonlight reflects off So if two people being brought together by fate The cruel angel's thesis. People create history The cruel angel's thesis | Young boy, like a cruel angel's thesis, Even though clear blue winds But someday you will notice A cruel angel's thesis The cradle of love that sleeps within me If there is any meaning A cruel angel's thesis People weave together love to create history A cruel angel's thesis |
Translation Notes
1 This was translated by Takayama Miyuki and these are the translator's notes:
- young boy, become the legend! : The word "shinwa" actually means "myth" ("legend" would be "densetsu"), but I think it sounds better as "legend."
- with surging, hot pathos : "Atsui" (hot) can also mean "intense, passionate." "Pathos" is "the quality or power in life or art of evoking a feeling of pity or compassion; pity; suffering; sorrow."
- Embracing this sky [universe] and shining : "Sora" (sky) is the reading given for the kanji for "uchuu" (universe).
- has any meaning : The kanji used for the "a" in "aeta" is not the normal kanji used in "au" (to meet). It's the first kanji in "ouse" (encounter, tryst) and has more of a connotation of meeting by fate or being brought together by fate, not just meeting. (Interestingly, a dictionary I have gives the meaning of "au," when written with this kanji, as "to meet (with drama or pathos)")
- for learning freedom : The "watashi wa sou" is probably "watashi wa sou omou." And "bible" in this case isn't referring to *the* Bible. "Bible" can also mean "guide book, how-to book, a book valued for its use as a reference," like in "a handyman's bible," or "a bird-watcher's bible."
2 This is the translation found on the U.S. release of Evangelion by ADV.
3 The instrumental section contains chanted non-Japanese lyrics in Yoko Takahashi 's version and a few others, while other versions of the song have a purely instrumental section. The January 1996 issue of Newtype magazine transcribed Takahashi's lyrics in this section as "Fariya. Seta(or sepa) messo. Fariya. Tuse." which they speculate is from the fictional language of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Alternatively, an EvaGeeks forum discussion suggests that the lyrics may be "Faria? Será mesmo? Faria? Eu sei!" which is in the Portuguese language. Since the word "Faria" is usually used in a similar way as the English word "would", those lines could be interpreted as someone doubting something or someone else. There has never been any official information on the actual lyrics or their meaning, if any.
