The video title "Ukrainian military band - A Cruel Angel Thesis" claims that this video shows a Ukrainian military band playing the song 'A Cruel Angel's Thesis', which is the opening to the 90s anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, and which has resurfaced in more recent years as a meme. So this video was posted on YouTube on the 18th of August 2015 by the YouTuber Sergey Gorin and has since gained its meme status. So the questions are, what legacy did this video create, and is it real? Could it at all be staged or in some way edited?
Here is what seems like a direct sequel to the original. This one oddly seems to be the exact same length (38 seconds) as the original, and just listening to them side by side, the audio tracks of both appear to be identical, so on a first glance it seems to just be another
This video was copied and parodied many times. Below is an example that dubs audio over another video. It is the edit, the original video and then the audio source. The edited video credits the original sources in its description.
Remember when I said that the video was released in August of 2015, here is the original published on the 27th of June 2015, 2 whole months earlier for you to enjoy. So yes, it is fake, just a different audio track laid over an already great clip. If you are at all wondering how I found this video, I searched "funny dancing ukrainian man" on Google and the video was the first result.
