“They forgot to draw it,” is one of the great bits. I love Matt and Nick clowning on the show and loving it at the same time and Heather somehow getting through all of it.

episode 19 of evangelion made me angrily cry. i think there some things that i need to discuss with possibly a psychiatrist. great podcast episode.

I have been watching these past few weeks in bed while my wife unbothered ignores the tv. I've noticed her watching with me the last few episodes and last night she insisted we watch another episode. We got her. I think that solidifies Heather's point that 1-16 is some other show but THIS is Evangelion.

Hope we get a series on the original Mobile Suit Gundam. There are a bunch of parallels with EVA and you can see how it influenced like Heather mentioned with Kai.

The scene of Misato & Kaji in bed was considered very controversial when it aired on Japanese TV and affected not only standards & practices towards other anime shows of the time, but the studio was fined, leading to the low-budget vibe of the final two episodes.

Matt’s little puckish laugh every time he annoys Heather kills me 😂

Eva's are psuedo-titans and Rei is not human confirmed 👌 What a fucking show, banger after banger

"When we look at climate change we're basically, not fatalistic or nihilistic about it, heading to one of the worst possible outcomes. But the thing is, that's at one of the upper limit of what humankind can endure. So to us we look at it and it's horrific, that future for our children & grandchildren, but it'll be normal to them and they'll be able to endure it. Just as everyone who's living through the 'Second Impact' is like: this is our reality and we'll be able to find happiness here. If there's a lesson for our lifetimes is that humanity has an endless reserve for normalizing misery. Shit will get bad but people will endure and there's some purpose to life that you can find regardless of that." -Nick Wiger on the themes of nihilism and climate change within Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Not to “Um, actually” the master but iirc Ritsuko explicitly says that Shinji is manifesting the suit via his mental self-image, as he now sees himself and identifies as The Eva Unit 01 Pilot. This might be a new translation justification though!

I'm sure Heather is already aware of this, but Anno's father lost his leg in a workplace accident (he worked in the logging industry) and struggled with depression throughout Anno's childhood, often making Anno feel unwanted (which almost certainly explains Gendo's characterization in the show). However, Anno also talks about how his father's disability informed his work, leading him to draw characters and mecha with missing limbs, or to focus on characters who have to grapple with a perceived 'lack' or 'imperfection', physically or psychologically. So, Toji losing his leg is also part of a larger thematic engagement with disability and loss within the show.

Ooh Ooh! I know what's happening when Toji's in the train of thought! It's a spoiler for the movie!

Also, hearing Heather trying desperately to guide the boys to understand what's happening with the oral stage stuff is a thing of agonizing beauty...

I hope you all get to Serial Experiments: Lain at some point.

I think Matt perfectly summed up Eva when he said, "Goo goo ga ga." I mean, that's the show in a nutshell. 😆

Did heather ever bring up the theory that Shingie and Asuka knocked boots in episode 15?

Anyone catch the condom wrapper on the night stand during the sex scene? Glad that they're being safe at least.
