A Very Underrated Analog Horror Gem | APOCRYPHA HOMINIS
Video Overview & Insights
A story of two people and an immortal.
Hello! Seraphylum here!
WOW! I mean... I'm going a little bit insane myself. I had actually already subscribed to Muldered a few months back and now he's making a video on my Series ? Seeing it picked apart and scrutinised with so much care is incredibly gratifying. This kind of commentary is going to really inform where I go next, so thank you again for looking at it.
As for your theories... You hit a lot of it pretty spot on, but there is still more to discover- and other ways to think about what's in the past and what's coming up. The next episode is taking so long because of some commitments I've got to make- but it's mostly because I'm incorporating some animation stuff I've never done before. I hope you enjoy things that are abstract!
Again, thank you endlessly man!
Watch out for what comes next.
Apocrypha Hominis is one of the coolest and most intriguing Analog Horror projects I've seen in a while. It deals with cosmic horror, sci-fi, religious horror, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Akira type beats, conspiracies and...Bohemian Grove? It's a very weird one.
So, allow me to present it to you, but be warned, the angels are not what they seem.
Here is something that I don't know if you considered or not:
While many people imagine Angels and Demons as distinctly different in appearance, in reality, the Demons would appear EXACTLY as an Angel would, since they are Fallen Angels. This means that it could be possible for the "Demonic Forces" to be separate from the Angels, hence why the USOF is seeking an Angel's assistance in repelling more Demonic attacks.
Now, I think that your theories are entirely plausible based on the assumption that Angels, Demons, and God are all physical entities existing on the same plane as humanity, so this bit of info may be entirely irrelevant since it relies on the War in Heaven being a real event in this series, since it saw Lucifer and his followers cast down to Earth (although this would explain the presence of the "Entities" in EP.5 if they are Demons).
So I think that both Angels and Demons could have been present on this series' Earth, with either the Angels providing the trepanning with the tektite needles to forcefully evolve early humans as an allegory for the creation of man, or the Demons being the ones providing the trepanning as a kind of allegory for the First Sin committed by Adam and Eve.
Of course, my thing is more speculation, but I figured I'd mention it in case it is important in the future of the series or something.

mega comment (i spent almost 4 hours making this between 1-5am going frame-by frame)
3:25:
9:50 confirms it's 六甲山 / mountain rokko(u) (rokkou-san)
4:30:
天はあなたのせいで血を流している (ten wa anata no sei de chi wo nagashite-iru)
which is "heaven [subject marker] your fault [within marker] blood [object marker] flowing"
so maybe "it's your fault heaven is flowing with blood"
problem is, second person pronouns in general and あなた (anata) especially are never used unless you dont know who they are, if you did it to be rude お前 (omae) is more common being a very rude, slightly masculine "you"
4:58:
目が覚める (me ga sameru)
it's a simple thought, not a command, like the concept of waking up rather than telling you to.
8:43
unless im just being ignorant, this is not how japanese typing works, usually you type in latin script that gives you a list of possible options that the sounds you typed could be
rarely people type straight kana, but it still has to have the interface to add kanji and stuff
thought it was funny, no harm
15:20:
Self explanatory, it's the same thing, although I find it odd it's written in casual form, not at all like the English one.
Yet the age-related calendar is only really used in legal contexts, they usually use year/month/day like as of writing it's (20)26/06/27 (im a learner who uses a japanese calendar)
16:40
Besides using "me" every sentence (which is weird because japanese is a pro-drop language, meaning you drop pronouns most times.
20:29:
青空 literally blue sky on the right, on the left it's personally unreadable but on the right side it still has 空 (sky)
also, might be ignorance, but as far as i know you cant squish kanji like that because they have proportion requirements (as some pretentious people have told me in the past) and it looks like they're part of one word,
like 目 (me which means eye) vs 眼 (manako, gan, or me, which is an archaic or medical form of "eye") which contains 目 inside of it on the left
20:44
the only legible one for me is:
人類からの贈り物 (jinrui kara no okuri-mono)
"a present from humanity"
21:10:
ps: im so mad i did all this and realized he just translated it (poorly)
私は罪を治せる?(can i be cleaned of my crimes) (old literary kanji that took me ages to find because i didnt recognize it, the usual one is 直せる)
私は人間から生まれたが (i was born from humans and)
人間性してしまった (i regrettably did humanity) ("doing humanity" as in like experiencing it)
お母さん、助けて (mom save me) (you wouldnt talk to your mom like this it's too rude, but ok)
父よ、助けてください (dad, yo, save me please) (now dad is informal, which is very rude, but "save me" is polite????)
same thing from before talking about parents
エゴの喪失 (ego forfeit) (喪失 refers to a loss in the mind, or a forfeit)
そこに山がある (over there, there's a mountain) (there's a (translated) quote, "そこに山があるから” from George Mallory on why he climbed mount everest, ps: そこ (soko) refers to an object that's close to the listener)
見せてくれないのか? (can you not show me it?)
重役、お願いします (the top role/leader in the company, please)
重役 重役 重役 重役 重役 重役 重役 重役 重役 重役 重役 (leader, leader, leader, ect)
人類のためだというのか (do you say it's for the sake of humanity?)
でも、あなたが私の(病み?, idk it means "my disease" but it's a slangy internet term that refers to yanderes and stuff, it wouldnt be used i dont think and i see the character for laughter later down the line 笑) [illegible personally, if someone better at japanese can correct me, go at it]
これが何かは知っている (i know what this is) (dramatic, putting emphasis on "this" rather than the typical emphasis on "what")
この[idk] (this [idk])
天使 (angel)
アルコーン (archon)
天使 アルコン 天使 アルコン 天使 アルコン 天使 アルコン 天使 アルコン 天使 アルコン 天使 アルコン 天使 アルコン 天使 アルコン 天使 アルコン (angel archon angel archon angel archon, etc)
母親 (mother) (very distant, matter-of-fact way)
父 (dad) (rude-ish)
重役 (the head (of a company))
神 (god, casual, typically you'd say 神様 to respect him, but just like his dad, he never uses honorifics)
大地 (the ground)
入[idk]てあげる (i will do you the favor of [something]) (i have no idea what those 2 lines represent lol)
入れてあげる (i will do you the favor of putting [something] in) (入れる (ireru) "to put in" is typically a transitive verb meaning it needs a subject, in compounds and especially by itself it is usually more literal than other "put in"s as in a physical object)
だから、私を天使の子供にされて (then i will be turned into an angels child)
36:53:
lol im just gonna laugh at how you said mount rokko, as a double letter in japanese is actually a pause, ro is not like the one in rock, it's deeper in the throat.
41:09:
these are places i see
大阪 (osaka / oosaka) (oosaka is the japanese spelling)
札幌 (sapporo) (city)
熊本 (kumamoto) (this is a prefecture whereas oosaka and sapporo are cities)
南大東 (minamidaito) (an island?)
44:28:
太陽 (sun)
50:50
yeah maybe another day lol i dont wanna sift through more japanese that feels translated, it hurts my brain
if someone actually sees this i might do it sooner
"HEAVEN IS BLEEDING BECAUSE OF YOU."
V1: "bruh lemme get some sip"
This looks phenomenal
@StaticPulse_33The Evangelion inspiration is so obvious haha, good stuff
@swalkeeatake3350Pretty much my guess is: that the angels split into two groups:
Archon(demonic force): are creating demons to attack humanity and probably wipe them out.Archon I’ll probably former angels/demons and I’ve decided to attack humanity???
The angels(I guess they’re trying to help humanity) and help create Nephilim to fight the demonic force.
From what I can tell Archon: are creating the demonic force attack attacking earth in the 2000s, and then they brainwashed everyone to think it never happened.
And USOF plan, was to pretty much knock people unconscious, to get into contact with a guardian angel, and create their own Nephilim. To fight off the demonic force(the children) of the Archons😮😮😮😮
Pretty much the apocalypse that has been prophesied well the Bible and other religions.USOF pretty much prepared for this to happen.😮😮😮😮 and that is why they’re trying to create Nephilim to fight them. I just thought they were just doing it for religious reasons and have an army of angels.
@texben123The Archons isn’t that from the gnostic belief, and know they’re supposed to be either Gods, angels, and demons that work for the demiurge(evil version of God)😮😮😮😮
Cause in the gnostic belief: demiurge(God) is pretty much a cruel wicked God that created the world. And created the Archons: angels, gods, and the demons is supposed to be all of them and from what I can tell USOF is pretty much a united Christian group that controls most of the world.
So the Gnostic Archons wouldn’t be used since that would technically heresy and their world. Because it seems that Christianity pretty much controls most of the world. so I’m gonna assume that the Archon are the demonic force????
I’m gonna assume that black hole is heaven Which is another universe Right next to our universe. And I guess the experiment failed.
@texben123It’s probably a guardian angel for each soul😮😮😮😮 and then it merges with the human soul, and then becomes a Nephilim. Something tells me God is not gonna be happy. They’re stealing his loyal soldiers/angels.😡😡😡😡😡😇😇😇😇😇
@texben123I’m gonna assume the pilgrim(Messiah) is connected to the angel and someway which is why they locked him in here because of his connection to Alpha /omega
@texben123Now this is just what I’ve read and heard: pretty much Moses and his followers were the only humans to actually see what God looks like partially. God is made out of light and when he appeared on Mount Sinai, the entire mountain caught on fire, creating smoke partially covering him.
Which means God is a ball of light: similar to a star that gives off intense heat, which is the main reason God talks telepathically to his Messiah and other humans. If he just appeared, he would literally catch them on fire, which is why he stayed near the mountain.
About my theory is that God is a ball of light, and the angels are either stars or other balls of light and they’re made out of energy. And the humanoid angels that are mentioned in the Bible is not their true form.
It’s pretty much just an illusion, so humans don’t freak out about their true form. Cause they’re true form is far more bigger than you think pretty much the size of a star or Sun. So they have to make humanoid forms to communicate with humans.
Because real angels are made out of energy, and most angels just look humanoid with no wings or halo that was just something the church added and artist drawing them.
USOF(is a combination of I guess all countries) universal Society of the free 😅😅😅😅 and there are different branches for each country.
@texben123I can assume the pilgrim is the one that woke up and the Angel(alpha/Omega) is the ball of light, which is actually what angels look like like some described as a humanoid with wings or made out of energy. cause I know in some mythology: angels are described as stars??? this could be a reference to that.
Cause somehow, humanity found an angel(alpha) in Venus somehow??? and locked it in the underground facility. how they got it off of Venus I have no clue cause that place is pretty much Death Trap and also a drone or spaceship would literally be crushed or melted if they sent it down there, but I guess they have like a special ship to get it out.
how to figure out if someone is italian: "selva oscura" pronounced perfectly
@Quasar3C_273Archons are a convenient excuse for evil humans to be evil.
@MetaKnight964I genuinely thought this was a gd lvl showcase
My dumbass was so confused
"Sir a second impact impacted the lore"
@Traum278Is that fucking Jotaro 56:41
@Argya-hi1qt10:55 alpha and omega often times is used to refer to God as the former and latter are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, literally implying "The First and the Last"
@That1Kid-cr8zyIf neon genesis Evangelion got rid of the Eva’s and foe angels and just had the scientists going crazy
@Caleb-i9b7q1:28 is that a motherfucking limbus company reference
@silly-valmeanwhile Lebanese=cousin marriage
.❤
Fun fact, that video of the ufo is actually an edit of a real video called "GIMBAL"
@LockeDamienAn ARG based off gods and cosmic horrors? AM I SEEING THINGS??
@guywithabelt_As soon as I saw the whole Angels posessing human bodies thing; I knew those angels were NOT the ones from heaven 😭
@toasty_7233The Japanese on the door is uhhhhh 六 甲 山 - im not sure how it's read but the characters themselves mean something like "six"; "armor, high (voice), A grade, first class, former, instep, or carapace"; and "mountain"
together it literally reads mt. rokko so do with that what you will (7 months late)
46:47 you thought that your previous conclusion is to easy, i say. this one is easier to think off. as it sounds too ``i expected it was something like that``
@lenOwOo22 minutes into the video. I'm predicting that it will have gnostic themes due to the words "angel" and "archon" right after.
@Kitten_Lover21212as a project moon fan the amount of times ego was mentioned made me go insane
@ActuallyRyoshu36:10
HEED MY CALL PROJECT MOON FANS
the horse sound jumpscare tho
@ichisichify3:20 The writing on the door says 六甲山 (rokkousan) which is the name of a real life mountain range in and around Hyougo Prefecture in Kobe :)
21:20 Im confused as to why the mac translator translated it that way, 私は罪を治せるのか is more like "can i cure sin?" or "can i cure ones sin?" which makes more sense theme wise
21:44 the text here says 「この声」which means "this voice"
3:20 I Dont think that's japanese, that seems like mandarin or cantonese
@dinizvilhena9983bros gonna know about the alternate american folk lore next.
@sStarlight_the_dragonpretty sure alpha/omega is a reference to god. as Alpha and Omega is both the beginning and the end, just like God
@thefiend938247:45 the plot of evangelion in one phrase
@giasas_the_thirdBit late to the discussion, but regarding subject 40's line about their body bleeding when it 'wishes to create', this very likely refers to menstruation. Menstruation occurs if no successful reproduction took place and then sheds the uterus' lining, manifesting as 'bleeding' because no life/embryo was created.
-Sincerely, a female person. This immediately rang the bells in my brain.
Yo shout-out to Guangzi, always wanted to go to that dog-eating festival
