The twenty-sixth episode of one of GAINAX’s earlier anime programs, Neon Genesis Evangelion, is (in either its original incarnation or using the End of Evangelion film as its reworked final episodes) the show’s final chapter, in which its protagonist Shinji Ikari comes face to face with an alternate version of his own world. If we take that idea as a given, then the video could take place almost without editing during the show’s twenty-sixth and penultimate episode, when the cast is trapped outside of the flow of time and experience a more literal presentation of the same idea. If the video has a “plot” to it, one could describe it as the character realizing in a moment the myriad ways that her life could go (or could have gone) and taking solace in her own choices due to that fact. “You Are My Star” is a song by the voice actor for the character of Yoko Littner, a woman whose early presence in the anime is almost entirely as a fan service delivery vehicle.
