I finally got around to watching it...it was on my todo list, now my only thought goes along the lines

'what the hell did I just watch?'

I spose its about cheating? maybe? its literally 'eating' him up on the inside (hence the reason they 'eat' him) that he cheated with someone? donno

There's one Youtuber's analysis of the video here
snip.
He raises a few good points. They video may in fact have a deeper meaning, and I can kind of see it the way he does.

Unfortunately my only reaction was wondering what combination of drugs went into the creation of this thing. I guess I'm not deep enough.

I never actually found myself aroused by it, though it did raise an eyebrow more than once.
It'd be kinda weird if you were aroused by a girl vomiting bucket loads of semen into your mouth.
Whoa whoa, wait a minute! That was semen!? I just thought it was drool! I need to watch that part again.

Anyways, about whether it has deeper meanings or not, I'd still have to watch it a few more times before I'd be able to start piecing things together.
It's Anno's Kotaku hating company, it definitely had a deeper meaning. If anyone watched it and enjoyed it for its fanservice, then they missed the point entirely I'm afraid. I actually liked it up to a certain point, but after a while I thought it dragged on. I'd have cut it just before the video game part, as the music video had already said everything it needed to say. The visual style was magnificent, and it went well with the music.

Did it need to be that explicit in terms of violence and sexuality to get its message across? Maybe, I'm not sure. I did feel like it was beating me over the head with imagery, and it certainly wasn't subtle, but if it was trying to make me feel visceral disgust/horror, then it succeeded. Overall, I think I enjoyed it more then I didn't. It's certainly controversial, and has people talking, so that's always fun. I do feel bad when non-anime fans see it, and walk away thinking it was just a celebration of raw sexuality and fanservice (as opposed to a criticism of it). It gives the wrong impression about the medium. Unlike, say, Die Fantasy, the disturbing imagery here does mean something.

I do wonder where Anno's company gets off criticizing the demographics they pander to, though. A little hypocritical, really. He sells the merchandise, isn't he an enabler?

I've watched it some time ago and it was...really strange.

I honestly had to see it few more times to really wrap my brain as to what the meaning behind every part of the video meant. On the flip side, the music by Teddyloid is simply mesmerizing and I totally want to get the three songs in this video.

Basically, it comes down to one of two interpretations:

1. The guy has a fascination with anime, manga, and video games to the point of being an otaku. He loves them dearly and considers them a big part of his life. When he gets a girlfriend, it becomes an issue, as he has to balance his love for his hobbies with his love for his girl. Eventually, the strain becomes too much for the girl, and is forced to make a decision: his obsession or his girlfriend. He chooses his obsession. He later realizes the mistake he made, as she deeply loved him, and tries to make amends. However, he finds that his obsession has a stronger hold on him than the originally thought, and eventually, it consumes his entire being.

2. Similar to the first interpretation, the dude's a total otaku and finds his obsession to be normal and innocent. It isn't until he begins dating his girlfriend that things take a turn for the worst. Yes, they both love and care about each other, however, over time, the girlfriend expresses her dislike of his obsession, calling it disgusting and perverted. This is evident when the bright, cheerful girls transform into dark, exotic strippers when the 'demon' that looks like his girlfriend shows up. Eventually, he decides to break up with her, being unable to take her harassment over something he holds near and dear to himself. Again, he eventually finds out that he actually cares about her enough to change his ways and does so metaphorically by putting on a battle suit and blasting the now vile and psychotic girls. This is symbolic of clearing/deleting one's web browser history for anything that they might deem damaging or embarrassing. However, he finds it difficult to change completely, and in the end, decides to give in to his obsession and finds solace that they things he loves will never judge or truly hurt him.

On another note, anyone know when these songs (there's three parts) will be available in the American iTunes store? I know they're available on the Japanese store, but I don't want to create a whole new profile in Japan just to get three songs if they'll be overseas soon.

This is a good analysis as well
Yeah. I didn't expect him to be had been in the same situation as the one the video was trying to portray.
