"Those women longed for the touch of others' lips, and thus invited their kisses"[a] is the fifteenth episode of the Japanese anime television series Neon Genesis Evangelion, which was created by Gainax. The episode, written by Hideaki Anno and Akio Satsukawa and directed by Naoyasu Habu, was first broadcast on TV Tokyo on January 10, 1996. The series is set fifteen years after a worldwide cataclysm known as Second Impact and is mostly set in the futuristic, fortified city of Tokyo-3. The series' protagonist is Shinji Ikari, a teenage boy who is recruited by his father Gendo into the special military organization Nerv to pilot a gigantic, bio-mechanical mecha named Evangelion into combat with beings called Angels.

According to screenwriter Satsukawa, "Those women longed for the touch of others' lips, and thus invited their kisses" is the Neon Genesis Evangelion episode in which his personality is most reflected. During the episode, entirely focused on the relationships of the characters and devoid of action scenes, use is made of religious symbolism and music outside the original soundtrack of the series, including Johann Sebastian Bach's "Suite for Cello Solo No.1 in G Major".

"Those women longed for the touch of others' lips, and thus invited their kisses" drew a 6% audience share on Japanese television and received mixed reception from critics. Some reviewers criticized the script, the interpretation of Kotono Mitsuishi, Misato's voice actress, the music and Asuka's behavior. Other reviewers appreciated the kiss between Shinji and Asuka and the one between Misato and Kaji, praising the religious symbolism and the focus on the relationships between the protagonists.

Plot

The commander and deputy commander of the paramilitary agency Nerv,

Yui. Misato Katsuragi, head of the strategic department of Nerv and legal guardian of Shinji and Asuka Langley Soryu, heads to a wedding party with her friend Ritsuko Akagi
and Kaji, her ex-boyfriend.

Shinji visits his mother's grave with his father, then returns home to play the cello. Asuka, who left shortly before for a date, also returns home and compliments Shinji's cello playing. Feeling bored, Asuka suggests to Shinji that he should kiss her, and the two exchange a kiss. Meanwhile, a drunk Misato is escorted home by Kaji; along the way she reveals to Kaji that the real reason why she broke up with him years before was because he reminded her of her father, with whom she had a conflictual relationship. Misato bursts into tears, and Kaji kisses her. The next day Misato discovers Kaji secretly entering the deepest section of the Nerv headquarters; Kaji then shows her a crucified giant, which he identifies as Adam, the first Angel.

Production

Series and episode background

In 1993, Gainax published a presentation document for Neon Genesis Evangelion entitled New Century Evangelion (tentative name) Proposal,[b] containing the initial synopsis for the planned episodes.[1] For the first twelve episodes aired, the company roughly followed the schedule envisioned in the first draft, with only a few minor script differences.[2][3] However, from the thirteenth episode onward, the production deviated from the original plan of the writers and what had been initially envisioned in the submission document.[1] According to Michael House, translator for Gainax at the time, Neon Genesis Evangelion's main director Hideaki Anno initially intended during the making of the series to give the story a happy ending.[4] However, during production, Anno realized that he had created characters that were too problematic, so he changed his plans.[4] According to Hiroki Azuma, a culture critic who personally interviewed the director, during the airing of the series Anno began to criticize obsessive anime fans—known as otaku in Japanese—whom he considered too closed-minded and introverted, and so changed his original plans by creating a more dramatic and introspective story toward the middle of the series.[5][6]

The ffifteenth episode of the series was originally to be titled "Shinji, once again"

Introjection".[7] The exploration of Misato's past and inclusion of a scene concerning "romance comedy"[d] was initially supposed to occur in the seventeenth episode, entitled "Asuka's First Date"[e] in the Proposal.[8]

In the final version of the episode, Kaji shows Misato a giant identified as the first Angel, Adam; in the series finale it is revealed the giant's true identity is that of Lilith, the second Angel.[9] According to character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, the original story for the series did not feature Lilith, but was included following the premiere of the series and some staff research performed on Christianity;[10] Sadamoto stated that Lilith's inclusion occurred because "not touching [her] seemed to hurt Anno's pride".[11]

Writing, animation, and recording

Hideaki Anno and Akio Satsukawa wrote the screenplay,[12] while Junichi Sato produced the storyboards under the pseudonym Kiichi Hadame.[13][14] Naoyasu Habu served as director, with Masahiko Ohtsuka as assistant director.[15][16] Shunji Suzuki worked as chief animator[17] with Katsuichi Nakayama and Naoya Furukawa as assistant chief animators, while Mitsuo Iso[18] and Takeshi Honda served as assistant character designers.[19][20] Production involved other studios besides Gainax, such as Cosmos, Studio Mark, and FAI International.[19] In an interview, Satsukawa stated that "Those women longed for the touch of others' lips, and thus invited their kisses" is the Neon Genesis Evangelion episode in which his personality is reflected the most, as there is no Angel and only one scene with the Evangelions.[21]

In the wedding scene with Misato, Ritsuko and Kaji, Misato fixes Kaji's tie and he thanks her in a close-up; according to Yūichirō Oguro, the editor of supplemental materials included in the Japanese edition of the series, the use of close-ups is typical of Sato's style.[22] According to Sato, the original storyboard for the scene where Kaji kisses Misato did not specify whether Misato's hands should remain dangling or hug Kaji's back, and Anno made a decision later; in the final version Misato raises her hands and then lowers them again, as if she was hesitating over whether or not she should accept Kaji's kiss.[22][23]

During the kiss between Shinji and Asuka, Shinji's voice actress

Yuko Miyamura actually gargled in front of her microphone.[24] Miki Nagasawa, Koichi Nagano, Fumihiko Tachiki, Koichi Yamadera, Junko Iwao and Tomokazu Seki, members of the series' primary voice staff, also voiced several unidentified background characters over the course of the episode.[19][25]

Music

Misato's voice actress

Shiro Sagisu, in the wedding scene the staff used "Tentoumushi no sanba"[f],[30][31] a pre-existing piece composed by Daizo Saito and Shunichi Makaino.[32] "Tentoumushi no sanba" was popular in Japan at the time and usually used during weddings.[33][34] The staff recorded the song during dubbing without using a pre-existing recording;[35][36] Iwao, Nagasawa, Miyamura and Ogata recorded the song.[37][38]

"Suite n. 1" by Bach

In another scene Shinji plays Johann Sebastian Bach's "Suite for Cello Solo No.1 in G Major" on the cello.[39][40] When questioned about the choice to have Shinji play a cello, Anno replied that "it was just that the character gave off the feeling of a cello";[41] it was actually Akio Satsukawa who proposed it while writing the episode.[41] Satsukawa, known for using classical music pieces in his works, such as Manon Lescaut and Madama Butterfly, also suggested using Bach's composition.[21][g]

Academic Heike Hoffer noted how choosing Bach's piece could be a way for the writers to delve deeper into Shinji's psychology; the piece requires a certain level of skill to play, and this allows Shinji to be depicted as a yūtōsei (優等生), a model student, a figure very present in Japanese society and in anime.[51] The scene does not use the usual anime cinematographic clichés in which a character does something extraordinary and "élite"; furthermore, Shinji, usually worried about other people's opinions and in need of approval, does something alone, without being seen by anyone and seen from behind.[51] According to Hoffer, this is reflected in the Proposal, in which Shinji is defined as a somewhat boring and passive exemplary student.[51][52]

Cultural references and themes

Some of the main themes Neon Genesis Evangelion delves into in the fifteenth episode are the exploration of the human soul, the emotional walls that separate people, and the difficulty present in understanding others.[53] With "Those women longed for the touch of others' lips, and thus invited their kisses", the Evangelion storyline begins to move towards its third part and climax.[35][36] Several mysteries, such as Gendo and Fuyutsuki's plans and Kaji's actions are revealed, and the plot enters the series' second half,[54] which is characterized a different tone and denser contents than the first half.[35] At the center of the episode are Kaji's investigations,[9] Nerv's mysteries,[55] and the relationships between the characters,[36][56] without fight scenes involving the Angels.[35][57] Shinji and his father Gendo have a conversation in front of Yui Ikari's grave[58] after years of separation,[59][60] while, as the English title says,[61] Kaji kisses Misato and Asuka kisses Shinji.[62]

Psychology, relationships, and sexuality

Shinji has an important conversation with Rei in the elevator, telling her that she reminds him of a maternal figure,

Newtype magazine noted that Shinji and Rei's words and actions have moved to a place of "mutual understanding" in this part of the series, and they act like a mother and a child.[67] Writer Kazuhisa Fujie also linked Shinji's words to the fact that Rei is actually a clone of his mother Yui.[68]

During a scene with Kaji, Misato reveals to her ex-boyfriend that she left him because she realized that he resembled her father.

Carl Gustav Jung to indicate a girl's psychosexual competition with her mother for possession of her father.[72]

The episode's Japanese title, "Lies and Silences",[73] could refer to the secrets of Misato, the Marduk Institute, or even to Asuka.[22] After having kissed Shinji, Asuka lies[22] and says that she only wanted to kiss him out of boredom, as if to reassure herself.[74] Fabio Bartoli noted that the kiss turned out to be a "negative experience that left heavy marks" on her psyche.[75] For Anime News Network's Mike Crandol, the scene exemplifies how Shinji loves Asuka but doesn't know how to express his feelings, while Asuka has similarly romantic feelings for Shinji but "her ego prevents her from admitting it even to herself".[76] According to fellow Anime News Network editor Lynzee Loveridge, it also reminds viewers that Asuka and Shinji are two "inexperienced kids given an impossible task and severely neglected from affection by the adults in their lives".[77]

After her kiss with Shinji, Asuka notices that Kaji, whom she has a crush on, has Misato's

lavender perfume on him,[78] and is shocked by this revelation.[79] According to Newtype, this is the moment when Asuka realizes she's still a child and her love for Kaji suffers a setback.[80] The magazine Evangelion Chronicle noted that lavender has several meanings in the language of flowers, including "expectation", "doubt", and "silence".[81] Furthermore, in one scene Ritsuko mentions the concepts of homeostasis and transistasis,[82] saying that it is the nature of living beings to have the instinct to preserve their state with homeostasis and simultaneously to change it with transistasis.[36][83] Kaji adds that these two instincts are like men and women, indicating that in love relationships there is both an attitude aimed at changing the relationship and one that makes it stable.[22][84] The term homeostasis was coined by Walter Bradford Cannon, but the union of these two opposing qualities and the idea that they define life is a concept formulated by the Evangelion staff themselves.[85]

Religion

According to official materials and critics, the episode contains references to Christianity and the Bible—like the crucifixion of Jesus (left)—as well as the Mesopotamian god Marduk (right).

"Those women longed for the touch of others' lips, and thus invited their kisses" contains several references to religion. At the end of the episode, a white giant identified as Adam appears;

Amenonuhoko (天沼矛), the spear of the two creator kamis (deities) Izanagi and Izanami.[96][97]

Further Christian symbolism is apparent in the image of the seven eyes, or Seele's emblem, which alludes to the Book of Revelation. In said book, the number seven is frequently mentioned,[98][99] and a lamb with "seven horns and seven eyes" is described; the seven eyes "are the Seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth".[100][101] The seven eyes also have a connection with the eyes of Yahweh, capable of observing all creation, also called the "pupils of God".[89][102] The number seven takes on considerable importance in Kabbalistic mysticism of Judeo-Christian origin, as a symbol of completeness. According to a theory formulated by Carl Gustav Horn, editor of the North American edition of the manga, the seven eyes and Seele's emblem could be linked to the Book of Zechariah: "'See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua! There are seven eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,' says the Lord Almighty, 'and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day'".[103] According to the Evangelion Encyclopedia, published alongside the Italian Platinum Edition of the series, the seven eyes could also refer to the "seven wise custodians of the Torah".[104]

In the first scene of the episode Kaji investigates and names the Marduk Institute, an institute apparently created to select the best pilot candidates.

Reception

"Those women longed for the touch of others' lips, and thus invited their kisses" was first broadcast on January 10, 1996 and drew a 6% audience share on Japanese television.[110][111] Merchandise on the episode has also been released.[112][113]

The episode received an mixed reception. It was received positively by The Anime Café's Akio Nagatomi, who described it as a much needed break from action sequences with "a dash or two of humour thrown in for good measure", giving particular praise to the scene in which Shinji argues with Rei in the elevator.

Neon Genesis Evangelion Addition—as the "most puzzling" track of the album.[116]

Other critics positively received the episode. Film School Rejects' Max Covill praised "Those women longed for the touch of others' lips, and thus invited their kisses", saying, "Outside the wonderful relationship drama, this episode features one of the best cliffhangers in the entire run".[117] Covill also mentioned three scenes from the episode among Evangelion's "perfect shots", including the final scene in which the crucified giant is revealed for its "striking" religious symbolism.[118][119] According to writer and anime critic Dani Cavallaro, the scene in which Kaji walks a drunk Misato back to her apartment exemplifies director Anno's ability to transcend stereotypical characterization.[120] For the writer Dennis Redmond, the scene in which Shinji plays the cello is "an intriguing moment".[29] The academic Heike Hoffer wrote that some Japanese viewers reported having been unfamiliar with Bach' First Suite and having heard it for the first time in the episode; this inspired them to find out more about Bach's music based on their positive impressions of the piece.[121] The magazine Wired ranked Asuka and Shinji's kiss third among the best anime kisses;[122] Anime News Network's Lynzee Loveridge similarly listed it among the seven anime kisses "heard 'round the world", saying the kiss plays out "humorously".[77]
