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.

Billed right up front as a straight forward and efficient episode, this plugcast eschews any fancy special topics and focuses on arguably the least essential episode of the series. The cause of this being that, nearly miraculously, they decided they should probably record and actually made it happen that day. As Steve puts it, "this is almost a bonus episode!"
So, expect solid coverage of the NGE episode, near embracing of despair over the longevity and aims of the franchise 25 years after it's debut, and Steve managing a Beavis boi-oi-oi-oing amidst our continuing go at mature discussions of teen sexuality.
Highlights:
- We were called out by a listener on not giving enough time between our call for comments and the recording. Best comment we've ever received.
- Interesting convo on the potential for longevity of the Eva franchise in terms of Anno's career success, citing excesses of the Star Wars franchise.
- More tall guy self-promotion: "She's just bald-faced in her adoration... Being out with our tall hunky dude here... Our super-spy... he's very handsome."
- Steve answers the question of Asuka's red hair v her possibly Japanese heritage through his actual genetics education and career practice.
- Just want to amend that Eva has roughly great characters, not four. You know which ones.
