Topics Cruel, Angel, Thesis, cover My take on the intro song to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Done completely with Guitar Pro 6 and I still need to make it better but here is the #1 take on this song.
'A Cruel Angel's Thesis' (残酷な天使のテーゼZankoku na Tenshi no Tēze?) is the theme song of the popular animeNeon 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 finale 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. Both are considerably different in feel from the more hard driving techno-dance original. A similar, but sparser, version can also be heard during the intermission between the two parts of Evangelion: Death and Rebirth.
According to the liner notes to the album Refrain of Evangelion, director Hideaki Anno had originally wanted to use music from Borodin's Polovetsian Dances as the opening. The TV station (TV Tokyo) felt that audiences would be confused by a classical opening to an anime, and requested a change to a more typical or J-pop and upbeat song. The production of the result, 'A Cruel Angel's Thesis', was handled by Toshimichi Ōtsuki. The original song included a male chorus, which was cut at Anno's request in order to 'emphasize maternal affection'.[citation needed]
In 2009, original vocalist Takahashi recorded a new single, which included a remake of both this song and 'Fly Me to the Moon', the series ending theme, to tie in with the theatrical release of the second Rebuild of Evangelion film.
