Angel Attack – Neon Genesis Evangelion S01E01

➡ The Cartoon Cabal, a group that reviews cartoons and anime, is branching out to review different series from various countries. They’ve been receiving suggestions from their audience, including reviewing the Sonic cartoon and an anime called Dr. Stone. They’re currently focusing on Neon Genesis Evangelion, a popular Japanese anime series with religious undertones. The group discusses the challenges of translation and pronunciation in the series, as well as its cultural impact in Japan, such as inspiring a special burger at McDonald’s.
➡ The text discusses a show where a 14-year-old boy named Shinji, abandoned by his father, is recruited by an organization called Nerve to pilot a giant mechanical suit, Unit 01, to fight off angelic-demonic beings. The show includes various symbols and references, like the Tree of Life and Dead Sea Scrolls, which the creators use to provoke thought rather than convey specific meanings. The text also mentions the concept of synchro mysticism, where creators don’t necessarily plan for deep meanings but allow them to emerge naturally. Lastly, it discusses the Red Room concept in Twin Peaks, which was conceived spontaneously, further illustrating the idea of synchro mysticism.
➡ The speaker discusses their experience watching an anime, likely Neon Genesis Evangelion. They mention the show’s tendency for cliffhangers and compare it to older sitcoms. They also discuss the show’s plot, including a character named Shinji who is chosen to pilot a giant robot suit. The speaker also notes various cultural and religious references within the show, such as the use of a Greek cross and the mention of Marduk, an ancient Babylonian god. They conclude by comparing the anime to other popular media like Twin Peaks and Pacific Rim.
➡ The text discusses a conversation about Tokyo 2 and Tokyo 3, cities in an anime series. Tokyo 3 is a deep underground military base with a pyramid, resembling Las Vegas Strip inside the Pentagon. The capital never moves to Tokyo 3 due to constant disruptions. The conversation also touches on the possibility of characters being irradiated, a play on words with Japanese numbers, and the importance of defeating the ‘Angels’ for survival. The text ends with a discussion about future anime series they might review and a promotion for a conspiracy-themed comic book.

Unless we defeat the Angels, we have no future beyond what’s just in the name of the Cartoon Cabal. See, just at what Costco fame At the Cartoon Cabal. So much for the fighting games at the Cartoon Cabal. Hey, everyone, it’s the Cabot Cabal. Okay, we’re coming out hot. Coming in hot. Okay, gonna not editing that. Gonna double it. Okay, it’s the Cartoon Cabal. Did I get it right? Okay, that’s. That’s what we’re doing. We’re looking at cartoons. We’re. We’re. We are. This is Matt here. There’s Paranoia American there. How is it. We’re branching out, baby. We’re branching out.

We’ve been doing the Occult Disney Podcast, which Disney has distributed, some Ghiblis in the States, which guys doing anime, which got people enjoying us talking about anime. So here we are. We were just having our inside baseball talk about names. And I guess. I guess going with Cartoon Cabal does give us some leeway too, because we can go for any series, but it could be America to be fringe. It could be something from Czechoslovakia in the 60s, which could be quite interesting, couldn’t it? I’ve actually got a list. I’ve got a short list of things that we’ve done outside of Disney and stuff that I want to see that’s outside of Disney and anime has been one of the biggest suggestions that people have been writing in.

And just close friends. You gotta watch this. You gotta watch that. I got two recommendations today. I was. That weren’t even solicited. So I really do feel this is another one we can lean into. Shout out to whoever keeps emailing me to review, like the Sonic cartoon. For some reason, they want us to do every single episode. We’ll do at least one, I think. Yeah, I think I’ve heard something about that. Also, someone. The list you gave me had Dr. Stone on it, which I didn’t know. But in the weeks since you mentioned Dr. Stone, I’ve had like three people bring up Dr.

Stone. So that’s a thing. But we are trying to figure out what anime a target. So we’re looking at Neon Genesis Evangelion. When I first came to Japan, I had friends that were into it and I kept asking people about Neon Genesis and they had no clue. I’m talking about in Japan. You have to say Evangelion. You probably noticed the title card was just Evangelion. So that’s an interesting. Just like sometimes when you’re trying to talk about your anime in Japan, even though you Think you’re being clear? You’re not. I had to do a little bit of a deep dive just on how to pronounce everything, why they were calling it certain things.

For example, Evangelion. Not. Not gel, but like bell or cell. Evangelion, which is a Greek word which will actually come up again that means good news or gospel. So this is. This title is all about gospel and kind of like has these weird religious undertones and. But also, when they shorten it, they don’t call it Eva, even though it’s Evangelion. They call it Ava, which makes it just a little bit more confusing because for the. I had to keep going back, like, why do they call it Ava? And then I realized maybe it’s because in the script it was Eva, which you’re printing pronouncing Ava instead of Eva, even though Eva would be the short version of Evangelion.

There’s also. I guess we do it in English, too. First, second, one, two are completely different words. You know, same in Japanese. Itatsu fotatsu ichi ni. They’re completely different things. So that. That does happen. We have weird abbreviations like Tish. That’s Japanese. If they want tissue, they’ll say Tish. And if you know, you don’t know what that is. Conversely, another anime friend came over in Akira, Another one we should probably look at sometime. You have say Akira, right? And my buddy kept saying Akira, Akira. And my. And our host is like, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

And finally he’s. He says it right, Akira’s. Oh. And then he pulls out, like, the original manga set from the 80s, like all. Every issue of Akira. So it was just that little change of pronunciation really, like, threw it off. So if they did say Eva, that might actually be confusing for the in character people because it’s just. It’s interesting, Ava, for some reason, when you abbreviate it there. There was one other example that I came across, and that’s this concept of children versus child. Because there’s later on in. In the very first episode, which we will get to in like a linear way, but they make this reference to the third child, but then there also references third children.

And apparently originally it was supposed to be child in the Japanese, but when it gets converted into English, they call it the children, even though it’s just one person. So the main character is known as third children, even though it really means third child. Someone along the way decided that children was a cooler word and didn’t realize how it would echo out and, like, fan out. In this universe of this entire anime series. That might be another case where the translation is coming through weird, because in Japanese, genders are not clear from a sentence. You have to kind of infer what the gender is most of the time.

So there’s no pronoun talk in Japan. And also, like, numbers, unless you specifically state the number, there is no plural, so it’s not necessarily clear unless I put a number with it, which might be where they had a little bit of creative freedom when they were doing some of the translation. Which is all noted because, by the way, for this whole entire series, I’ve got a copy that. It’s like a director’s cut, and it’s got the English, the Japanese. So if Matt’s like, oh, you have to watch this one in Japanese. The tonal inflection just makes the whole thing.

And then there’s a director’s cut audio by one of the guys that worked in production. So I’ve. I rewatched this one three different times, one in each language, just to make sure I was getting the full dose of episode one of Neon Genesis Evangelion Angel Attack. Also a fun name for an episode, Angel Attack. And I should. This. This one’s completely new to you, right? A hundred percent, yeah. I didn’t know what I was expecting going in. I thought that this was one of those series that have been going on for 20 years and hundreds of.

It’s very contained. It is a single season of 26 episodes. And it came out, I think it started in 1997. Six or seven. That’s correct. And here’s the thing. In Japan, in February, McDonald’s monthly special is Evangelion Burger. So that’s how big it is in Japan. McDonald’s, like, here’s Evangelion burgers for the month. What is in 2025? Does it have bun or something? It looked a little weird. I actually didn’t get them. I got this weird thing. I hadn’t been to McDonald’s for, like, 15 years, and then just like right around New Year’s, I got this weird urge, and I went there, like, five times, right? And yeah, they were a little bit weird.

The next month, they had the New York taxi burgers. I got one of those that was like, bacon and a ton of melted cheese, right? Every American, just a taxi driver. I love that. Yeah. Yeah. Well, if you’re in New York, you are. But that. That’s the thing. Yesterday I was in one of the, like, secondhand stores or Whatever, where they got. I was there because they had a bunch of cheap Start Start models. So here’s a Romulan bird of prey I got. But anyway, you know, like half of the things there are like sexy Evangelion figures.

That was one of the things that I noticed right away in this show too, because as the credits are going by, within the first four or five seconds, you see these silhouettes of like naked women, which turn out to be the. One of the two main characters that’s a female in this series. And both of them are like pretty over sexual. For example, the head scientist of their version of DARPA I think would be a good equivalent here. It’s this thing called Nerve N, E, R V. Which also, by the way, is not an acronym, which is very frustrating for me to process.

They got the nerve, but the. Yeah, they had the nerve to not make it an actual acronym and drop the E. But the lead scientist, the head scientist of nerv, this DARPA organization, just wears a one piece spandex bathing suit under her lab coat casually. That’s because I guess the nature of what they do here is very similar to what I immediately recognize as robot jocks, where you’ve got a person that somehow gets inside of this huge mech suit and. And they use this mech suit to fight. What is it called? Kaiju characters? Angels. Well, sure, Kaiju angels, which are also interchangeably described as both demons and devils in the English translation.

So it’s really like we’re talking fallen angel style, like Nephilim kind of angel style. Yeah, and I’m not super familiar with this, but we’re going to get deeper and weirder. Like you said, just mech suit. And I believe it gets into the thing they mentioned. They call it, you know, Evangelion, the, The. The big. The 01. They’re like it. They call it human at one point. And apparently there’s a thing like DNA spirituality. There’s connections about that with these, with these mech things. It’s not just jumping in and, you know, piloting it. So I mentioned that I’m watching this three.

I’m not gonna. Every time you watch an episode, I’m not gonna go through all three. But I was like, this is the first episode. I should probably just do all three just to see. And the VO at this part at the very end was by the director of adr, like the people that actually record the English dialogue on top. Anyways, he finally goes off on a tangent and talks about the show itself as opposed to The. The production of it. And he makes something that I just have to repeat here. This is. This is verbatim what the director’s cut says.

There’s lots of stuff put out there that appears to have a great deal of meaning that doesn’t really have as much meaning as that would like you to believe. But they’re trying to make you think. They’re trying to make your brain function a little more efficiently to look around the corners and look underneath things. So he. The context here was that he was describing, for example, in the opening credits, they show this thing that looks like Dead Sea Scrolls. And I think even later in the series they might reference it as this part of the Dead Sea Scrolls, but the characters on it are all fictional.

Like, this is a completely made up sort of version. Also in the intro, you see this Kabbalistic tree of life that kind of flashes in really quick. You see a lot of references to angels and demons and afterlife. But what this. This, you know, production guy was saying, director of ADR production, was that they intentionally name things like NERVE without actually creating a fully fleshed out acronym. Just like, oh, wouldn’t it cool if we left an E off there? Wouldn’t it be cool if we threw a Sephardic tree of life in the credits? And then that’ll just make people think it’s deep.

And then if you don’t look far enough into it, although we’re kind of here to look far enough into it, so be the judges of that wrong. I’m hoping that he’s 100% correct on that, but we’ll find stuff on our own. Regardless. The meaning of the Red Room in Twin Peaks. Are you familiar with the. The genesis of David lynch conceiving Twin Peaks Red Room? I would need a refresher. I do have to just throw out that. That one of my good friends, Alex K. Of Crypto Crubology, had a whole article kind of like, written about him when David lynch said that.

Yeah, that guy is, like, full of or something. Like, he actually had read one of his crazy, you know, theories on all this David lynch connection. So, yeah, I absolutely love a good David lynch tangent. Okay. Yeah, the. Apparently the Red Room, you know, people are obsessed with finding meaning in that. But he’s like, yeah, it was a hot day. I was about to open my car, I touched the door. It was really hot. And that just flashed in my mind. I’m like, I’m put in the show. That’s the way it should happen, though, isn’t it? Well, I guess I mean, this is a great time to bring up this concept of synchro mysticism, which I think was just coined in like 2006, but to me represents something that goes way back before I was even born.

But that synchro mysticism kind of indicates that you don’t need to have specifically planned for this to happen. David lynch didn’t need to actually sit down and come up with this crazy deep red room concept in order for it to take on all that meaning because he’s kind of like the surfer in the wave. And the surfer doesn’t have to create the wave. They don’t even have to maintain the wave. They just have to know how to ride the wave. So there’s some people out there that are just constantly riding this like synchro mystic wave so that anything they do and anything they touch.

Stanley Kubrick, we could give an example. And this is maybe what Neon Genesis Evangelion is trying to do, is they’re trying to like ride this similar sort of wave where you just kind of shoot from the hip a little bit and eventually something snags. Although maybe it’s a little bit lost in translation as we get there. He wrote a book about that with almost the same metaphor that I think he used, fishing instead. I’m looking at the name of the book. Catching the Big Fish is the name of the book. It’s all very fluid. He wrote a book about what you just said.

That being like. He’s like, man, I just, you know, I. I just follow the waiver in this case fish until I catch the big fish. Right. Some little ones help and you know, something like your red room, that’s a big fish. It comes out of the subconscious, out of nowhere. You don’t know what it means, but it’s works and it works for other people. And I was thinking like with Evangelion, it’s like how Japan is taking tree of life or you know, like angels and demons and all that and putting it in. And. And it is going to.

There is some Buddhist stuff that’s kind of in the, in the cooking here as well as we go. But I was thinking, what. What’s a good example of where this works in America? And I’m sure there’s lots of examples, but. Well, Stargate or the. The Mummy with Brendan Fraser. I’m trying to say his name correctly. Everyone wants to say Frazier and I do too, but. But yeah, that one is like, well, if we just take kind of Egyptian looking stuff and like, we can world build it and it’ll be convincing because people are like, that’s already a thing.

So it doesn’t seem contrived. So in here you can put that stuff in and then contrive stuff. Like nerve, right? Yeah, it’s. It’s just weird seeing it done in a slightly different way where it’s like. Because I actually was looking into it, like, what does that character mean? Why is there this tree of life? And. And when he mentioned that in the vo, it was. He kind of took a little bit of pressure off me because otherwise I’d be like, why can I connect these obvious things? They wouldn’t just throw it in the credits, would they? Well, apparently yes, they absolutely would.

It did. Well. Wow. We’re almost 15 minutes in. You’re worrying about 20 minutes. We haven’t done that quick plot summary yet. If you feel game for that. Oh, that’s actually the good part about doing individual episodes is that I don’t have to summarize like a, like a two hour movie in a short sentence. This is roughly 25 or so minute episode and it revolves around this kid Shinji, and he gets abandoned by his dad when he’s, you know, a little bit younger. In the context of this particular show, it takes place in 2015 and he’s now 14 years old.

And I think maybe it actually takes place in 2014. Although the credits say 2015 when we see an aerial shot of him getting into one of these suits. And the. On top of that it says Evangelion 2014. So, so anyways, he’s roughly 14 or 15 years old. And as he’s coming of age, he’s at this like perfect time when he can maybe bond with this big mech suit. So angels have come down from the sky, maybe demons. The first time it happened was in the year 2000. And now 15 years later, they’ve come back again. And the.

The Angel Demon Nephilim thing is kind of organic and kind of mech. They even reference something about it updated its firmware or updated its operating system. So there’s clearly some sort of a technological spin on these Angel Demons that are coming down. And they are basically the size of your typical Godzilla or King Kong Kaiju style character. And he’s just wreaking havoc. The show starts out with the UN. Unloading 50 different tanks and they launch missiles at them and they put all their firepower behind it and nothing’s even making a scratch on it. So the last resort to save humanity is for this 14, 15 year old Shinji kid to get Recruited by Nerve, their version of darpa, by his own dad, who had abandoned him many years before.

And by the way, it usually takes these trainers about seven months, I guess, to synchronize to their Kaiju suit. But this kid shows up, and within seven seconds, he’s bonded to it. So he kind of has this weird beginner’s luck aspect to him, where now he’s the fastest in history to ever bond with this suit. And his suit was called Unit 01. And he basically, we get a. To be continued. He’s going to go and fight this freaking fallen angel. Right? So that is. That is the flow of an anime. Though animes do tend to cliffhang at a really ridiculous moments.

I’m here for that. I don’t mind that one bit, man. I love a good cliffhanger. I woke. I mean, I. I grew up watching 80s and 90s shows where you had a sitcom that would be 26 episodes on the short end. Right. And get way longer than that. The. The older back you went. And almost all of those had some kind of cliffhanger. Yeah, of course. This is nice. At 26 episodes, we’re not going to have a problem where, like, you know, like, Dragon Ball Z, a fight takes like four episodes to take place, you know, so it’s like, please stop.

That’s why sometimes condensing shows like that is a good idea and why we’re not jumping to one like that. And I’m gonna intentionally not read too much ahead. I could easily, because the Internet, like, we are very late to the game. Clearly, this came out in 96 or 90, so it’s been a full. Almost 30 years since this has been out. And it just. I mean, it came across my radar a couple times, but in the last three decades, I’m sure it’s been picked apart. So I’m trying my best to not go and read all these other breakdowns of it yet until it starts getting, like, real deep.

But I kind of want to figure out how, you know, I receive it. Almost like my virgin eyes on Neon Genesis Evangel. I have to keep saying the whole thing out loud just because it’s so easy to, like, for me to think, like, oh, Genesis, Neon Evangelion. Yeah, well, you can get away with just Evangelion, like I said, which I. That’s what I’ve learned in Japan. Okay. So I would say I can forget the Neon Genesis. You can forget that part. I don’t even get it. I. I almost feel like that is also part of them just casting this Net of sounding occult and esoteric so that it just gets some of that shine on it.

Okay. It’s got. It’s got some. It’s actually, I’m looking at the Japanese title, which has Shinseki. It’s. It’s a little less weird in Japanese. Shin is news. Seki, I guess neon is seki, like the new light, new century. Okay. It comes across more as new century, which makes more sense because we’re in the 21st century. Yeah, that’s basically what they’re going for. So it’s a little more incoherent in English. It sounds cool. And I’ll say a Neon Genesis Evangelion. That sounds cool. But. But yeah. What is a Neon Genesis, though? Genesis is glowing in the back of my mind whenever this is said.

It’s the new century. Right. But yeah, I guess I’m getting this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, someone dropped. I guess neon is cooler. Yeah, all the LED lights and fluorescence. Now, whatever happened to neon, you know, we need more neon in the world. I gotta mention that early on, this. This girl basically is the counterpart. Misato Misa. Misato Misato. She picks up Shinji and whisks him way to this nerve agency where they actually have been working on these big Kaiju suits. But as she’s driving, this big angel demon thing from the sky is just wreaking havoc. And it kind of destroyed her car a little bit.

And. And she somehow steps out of her way to say, oh, this car only had 33 more payments left on it. And they. And they just keep driving. Like, out of all the things that are on her mind, it’s that her car still has exactly 33 payments. So that was interesting. Yep. You’re living the post apocalypse, but you still got to pay them car payments. I also like that she fixed it with duct tape, which I did in university. It was a very foggy night. We hit a deer, and I, like, taped the car back together.

I, like, taped the headlight back in. And then the car ran fine for a month, and then the engine caught on fire. Yeah, you can’t fix that with duct tape. Although that’s a super pro tip. Just keep a roll of duct tape in your car and check on it to make sure that it’s. It’s good to go. And I also just wanted to mention that the word Evangelion, Right. Is the Greek word for gospel. And for some reason, this character Misado is. She wears a Greek cross. It’s not like a regular cross where the bottom is elongated, which Usually represents the suffering of Christ.

But this is a like a regular cross where all the sides are the same size and it usually is pulling focus away from the suffering dynamic and it’s more towards like a church or more of like a generic thing. I think it’s like Eastern Orthodox kind of thing. But I’m interested, I’m interested on why this Japanese anime character is wearing a Greek cross or if it’s just a fun accessory. Although I should note, while she’s the main character of this episode, she’s kind of a. If we have cat, she’s supporting cast. Like the. The previous driver they try putting into the mech suit where she’s too screwed up to do it.

She’s actually one of the main characters. But we just glimpse her and we literally glimpse her earlier in the episode. I don’t know if you caught that. She just suddenly appears in the Tokyo 3 street for a second. No, I didn’t, because I didn’t know what I was looking out for. So right when Shinji, this 14, 15 year old kid, shows up to DARPA to jump into this big unit 01 mech suit, they’re kind of like, why? Why are we taking this 14 year old kid out of nowhere and not using someone trained or someone that knows how to do this? And they wheel out this, you know, very injured body of another one of the riders and it’s like, this is why.

So that’s where this kid basically says, okay, I guess I’ll do this thing and just immediately bonds to it. It just works immediately. And there is some, some cool stuff on this too. There’s a weird thing that pops up when they’re discussing this kid Shinji as being the third child based on this Marduk report. And Marduk is one of these ancient Babylonian gods. He was attributed like one of the first bull gods that we screwed everything up, right? Like, like the gods were the anaku sort of get along and he was like, nah, I want to be the big cheese now.

Well, correct, but. But that’s also one of the very original Christ myths where I believe that he kind of defeats this other character that you could relate to being sort of like Satan in a way. And Tiamat, Tiamat is chaos. And Marduk, he battles and wins over Tiamat, but then Tiamat comes back and then he wins and it’s, it’s, you know, it’s he man versus Skeletor over and over again. It’s always to be continued one. Well, there’s a version of that where Tiamat’s the planet. And while Tiamat’s very far away, that’s when Marduk is in power.

Right. So because the. The. His real bosses are on the planet that they can’t contact. Yeah. It gets very, like, astrological throughout the. This whole kind of series, I feel, is gonna have all these, like, cool little references, but I’m not gonna kill myself trying to figure out exactly how it all links up because of that one little clip that the. The guy in the video. And I guess I would believe him, the one guy that’s had to read over these scripts and listen to the audio over and over again. Maybe he’s got some insight or maybe he missed something.

Well, I asked my daughter right before we started recording, have you seen Evangelion? She said, no, but I read the manga. I was like, was it confusing? Yes. Okay. But she did read the manga. So, you know what I’m expecting that out of any anime that we watch is that I will be confused and not understand stuff at some point. Okay. This is probably the deep end, but it’s the deep end that resonated with people. Again, this is kind of the Twin Peaks of anime. Having already brought up Twin Peaks in the this podcast, before I wrap up, I just want to go a few Griffin notes.

I was thinking American things that I picked up on this. I felt a little bit of AI, Especially with the underwater Tokyo stuff. Pacific Rim was certainly going for this vibe a little bit. Definitely. And I mean, I think this is going to go in a very different direction. Pacific Rim. But the. The basis is very similar. The music at the end was almost a Superman fanfare. Did you notice that it was a Fly Me to the Moon in English in all the versions that I went through. Not the credit music. It was like the last couple.

It was like the build up to the fight music. Oh, no, I wasn’t even paying attention to that. Okay. I just recently specifically watched the credits of the 78 Superman. Like, I didn’t watch the movies watch the credits because it’s so cool. And so it was just kind of in my mind also, I don’t think we’re going to see much of Tokyo 2, the current capital of Japan, because they’re in Tokyo 3, which is Hakone, which is a resort Lake City about 40, 50 miles from Tokyo. But they say Tokyo 2 is Matsumoto, which is the city next to mine, so that’s kind of exciting.

I now live close to the capital of Japan. Oh, I assume Tokyo 2. And there’s a Tokyo 3 because Tokyo 2 doesn’t exist anymore. No, no. Tokyo 2 still there, but it’s just a rebuilt city, I think. Whereas why do you need Tokyo 3 if you’ve already got. Tokyo 3 is the DOM, right? The deep underground military base. It’s the un. They got a pyramid in there, man. Why wouldn’t you make that the capital? Right? Yeah. So that’s actually a great note that once we go and see the inside of this big nerve center, that it basically looks like a combination.

If you were to take Las Vegas Strip and put it inside or under the Pentagon, that’s kind of what this is supposed to be. Yes. So that’s why you would move the capital there, I think. The capital never gets moved to Tokyo 3, by the way, because as you saw, the angel just screwed it up. And it’s going to get screwed up a little more as the series goes on. So I don’t think they ever move it. Let’s see. Oh, my last. No, oh, two last ones. One. Are Misato and Shinji now highly irradiated? I mean, they just watched a nuclear blast in their face.

I mean, Anime rules. Yeah, okay. Anime rules. I’ll take it. Nothing like a nuke. And just my final note, when she says there’s a.00,009 chance that Shinji is going to connect. I just heard the dumb and dumber things. So you’re saying there’s a chance that part got a little bit confusing because as she’s explaining that Shinji mentions. Oh, you mean zero to zero to nine chance. You’re like, no, oh, nine is an oni, as in the. The word for devil in Japanese. So that the. Oh, nine is actually a phonetic play on pronouncing it in English and then translating the phonetic English pronunciation into a Japanese phonetic word for devils.

Do I. Do I have that right? Yes. Oni. Oni is. You are correct that. Yeah, I said seven. It’s nine. No, like, there’s some things, like Ichigo. 15 is very popular because Ichigo is also strawberry. So the number 15 is strawberry in Japanese. Okay. I mean, fun fact. We’ll have plenty of these, I’m sure, going throughout this series. The last line that I made a note of was kind of cool. And this is the kid’s dad, as the credits, like, right before they roll, and he just says, unless we defeat the Angels, we have no future.

I just thought that was a badass line to kind of leave on a cliffhanger. Yeah. When Shinji goes down, it’s just saying that. Be careful. Because the elevator was this Danger Elevator. I thought that was great. He’s taking the danger elevator to go fight a Kaiju. That’s how you get to the Danger Room. That’s right. Oh, the Danger Room. Yeah. I guess we should go ahead and wrap this one up for today though, if you want to put a bow on it. I mean. Yeah, that was what everyone’s been asking for. You want more anime stuff that’s not Ghibli or Disney related related.

Here it is. We’re gonna probably do some more of this Neon Genesis Evangelion and then bounce around with some other stuff. So keep the requests and the suggestions coming. Matt’s seen a little bit more than I have, but I feel like we’re both gonna end up watching a bunch of stuff we never heard of before. Oh, this is very much like, I need to watch this. And here’s a great excuse. And I have a few other on on my list too, that I’ve just been wanting to get around to for the longest time. So I’m pretty sure that anything someone suggests is probably already on my list somewhere.

But I can always prioritize. If someone keeps suggesting, say, Sonic X over and over, we might get in the Sonic X sooner than later. I was just. There’s somewhere within reach, but I couldn’t find it. There’s a Cowboy Bebop, another short one that people like. You know, I have a bunch of out like Cowboy Bebop albums on vinyl, but I’ve never actually seen the show. Oh, it’s well known for having a good score, but yeah, that’s. That’s. It wasn’t quite within reach for me to splash on the screen, but it’s somewhere here. Well, if you want to do a bit of your blurbing.

What’s going on? Well, I’ll be putting this out soon, but yeah, who knows when this is coming out? So we’ll leave it with a nice generic paranoidamerican.com for all of your conspiracy and comic book needs and plenty more than that. I’ve got a whole bunch of conspiracy cards that I think I’ve just been adding to the store. And I’m dropping three or four new custom playsets if you don’t know what these are. Paranoid playsets are these popular brick compatible playsets that have fun little designs, custom little backing pieces. I’ve got a Hillary Clinton with a reptile face and she’s got a severed head that’s bleeding with like a blinking green LED light and a little grimoire in front of Her.

It’s called the Super Predator playset with adrenochrome action, all kinds of fun cool things like that. The latest one is the Illuminati dolphins, which also has a bunch of different blinking lights in it. It’s got a military member, super top secret riding on the back of a dolphin holding M16. I’m pretty sure there’s a gold egg in there. There’s a cat. You kind of have to see these things to understand them. And you can do that@ paranoidamerican.com on my end. I don’t have much for you to look at. Well, you look at the media and then you listen to the podcast.
