Wherein our hosts free up an evening to continue Neon Podcast Evangelion. When challenges were made to Michael's availability for the evening, Steve presented his alternative: "That's fine. I can go find somewhere to drink beer."
Long breaks make the show into more of an update on their lifelong relationship with Evangelion, and with developments in the Evangelion franchise. Sometimes just popular anime in general. The last year has seen Ghibli win another Oscar (and another Japan Academy Best Animated Prize - the final Eva Rebuild film won in 2022), A US limited release of EoE, and Anno continue with non-eva projects as apparently Japan's premiere server of anime nostalgia. We also cover the NGE clip episode and the first freaky monologue in the show, sometimes known as "Rei's Poem."
Highlights:
- Additional context for the Rei poem are truly fascinating, as described in Anno trying to write from a schizophrenic point of view and finding the disembodiment hitting a bit too close to home.
Hebrew corner covers some good background on the inclusion of Lillith as an "Angel".
- Lots and lots of vaguery regarding show details. Michael volunteers this as a feature for the listener to enjoy the experience of knowing the correct facts themselves.
- No screenshot coverage, ideal for a clip show and the editor's family life.
- Truly mad claim from Steve's daughter that her friends had listened to the show. Not possible.

In which two American cousins begin an extended discussion of the famous anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, timely for it's recent release on Netflix. Introductions are made, an extended debate on pronunciation is begun (and not concluded), and several accusations are made internally regarding expertise and qualifications for this enterprise. Nonetheless, the first episode, "Angel Attack," begins! Intrepid listeners can follow along with the episode as we announce the time-stamps of our pauses with fairly good consistency!
Highlights:
- Extended discussion of the intense world building that occurs in the first 15 seconds of the show.
- The unlikely origins of Shinji's polaroid of Misato, and the starting of their (adjective not found) relationship.
- Successful avoidance at dumping lore on every single character that appears and extending this episode by an additional hour.
- Appreciation for the "tell and show" storyboarding style of the show.
- Swears are kept to a minimum, making this episode a great watch with say your 6 year old niece who you want to deeply confuse.
