10: Neon Genesis Evangelion Episode 6: Showdown in Tokyo-3

Neon Podcast Evangelion

*** https://evangelionpodcast.com *** *** https://twitter.com/NeonPodcastEva1 *** Their 10th plugcast! Their 20th labored exploration of what "plugcast" is meant to mean! Ten in a year and a half ain't bad. Certainly plenty of time for the new set of anime fans coming up with the loaded anime line-up on Netflix to have passed through a full healthy course of Evangelion fandom and now only occasionally reference the show. Maybe, ultimately, this podcast is for those gripped by the show and never let go. The new format featuring shot-by-shot analysis continues. This episode of NGE introduces the show's love of magically well orchestrated military logistics. Interspersed with this is much digging into scraps of Rei psychology. Shinji screams; gets back in a robot. It really hits all the Eva buttons. Highlights: - There's a light hip-hop thread as Steve brings in a reminder of the power of connecting an interest (anime in this case) with one's creative endeavors with a short eulogy for his favorite MC. - Steve shares his excitement for the Eva dropping rapper Open Mike Eagle. - Some good cogitations on the timeline of production and how it broke down at the end. Who has the scripts of the theoretical original last episodes of the series? - Analysis of NERVs emergency medical protocol. - The arbitrary over-analyzed room background feature of this plugcast is the multitude of monitors around Shinji’s medical coffin. - The new format naturally highlights that a way to share all these screenshots would be welcome.
