Phantom Rides: Trains in the Work of Hideaki Anno

View through CrossRef
This video essay explores recurring imagery of trains in the work of Hideaki Anno. By linking together disparate audio and sound effects from Anno’s TV and cinema, it attempts to explore Anno’s coiled, labyrinthine train space, and chart its phantom contours. It begins by analysing train carriages as a site of mental unrest in Neon Genesis Evangelion (1996). It then contextualizes Anno’s train fixation within film and Japanese history more broadly. In its conclusion, it looks at Anno’s live-action works, before ending on a scene from episode four of Evangelion which uses a train station for a moment of stasis and reconciliation.
