An Unfamiliar Ceiling – Neon Genesis Evangelion S01E02

➡ In this episode of the Cartoon Cabal, the hosts discuss the series Neon Genesis Evangelion. They talk about the non-linear narrative of the episode, where Shinji fights his first battle in a mech suit, gets defeated, but then the suit regenerates and defeats the enemy. They also discuss the concept of AT Fields, which are both psychological and physical shields. Lastly, they talk about Shinji moving in with Misato, a messy, heavy-drinking character, and how their dynamic might play out in future episodes.
➡ The text discusses a TV show where a character named Shinji reunites with his estranged father who only needs him for a specific purpose. The show also features religious symbolism and a mysterious beast controlled by humans. The text also mentions a peculiar scene involving a penguin in a shower, and the characters’ living conditions. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world that surprisingly looks pleasant.
➡ The discussion revolves around the depiction of Tokyo 3 in an anime, comparing it to real-life Japan and other cities in the series. The speakers also discuss the concept of ‘ghost limbs’ in relation to the anime’s characters, drawing parallels to real-world phenomena. They also touch on their preferences for horror and monster movies, and their hopes for future episodes of the anime.
➡ The text discusses a theory about the soul’s location in the brain, referencing Rene Descartes and the concept of chakras. It also mentions cultural differences in symbol usage, like wearing band T-shirts or crosses in Japan without understanding their significance. The text ends with a promotion for Paranoid American’s sticker sheets and a rap verse.

Lets Kill Some Angels. So much more fun and games at the Cotton Cabal. Beyond what’s just in a name at the Cartoon Cabal. See, just at what cost comes fame at the Cartoon Cabal. So much for the founding games at the Cartoon Cabal. Hey everyone, it’s the Cartoon Cabal where we’re taking a look into the series Neon Genesis Evangelion today. It’s the Beast. I can’t. I have to say it that way. Looking at production things, they are referring to the, the. The Revelation 666 piece. So that, that is what we’re getting at here. This is Matt here.

Over there it’s paranoid American. How it be? Let’s Kill some Angels. Yeah, yeah. With the Beast. Okay, whose side are we on anyway? But I was talking to you right before you hit record that that’s not the Japanese title for this, which I had flashed on the screen in English. So maybe you just. Maybe I just wasn’t paying attention. But yeah, the Beast. Yeah, I, I like that title of course. But I also like the Japanese title because it’s so different. It’s a Unfamiliar ceilings, feelings or ceilings. Ceiling ceilings. As in up there. Because she keeps waking up in new places like the hospital, like his new bedroom.

So he’s experienced and realizes. I think he says in the episode that he realizes that every ceiling in the city is going to be unfamiliar to him. So okay, it went abstract. We. We just got the end of Times book revelations sort of feel. Yeah. Which I mean, hey, that works both ways. I think. I. I think maybe that’s more the Zen cone we got in the Japanese title. Whereas we just get a great title with. With. With the. With the Beast. So this one’s quite different in that it’s extremely non linear. Which was. Apparently the creator of the show didn’t like the first episode because it wasn’t.

He thought it wasn’t as good as the first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam. Which one is probably wrong. And. But yeah, he’s like, okay, I’m just gonna like rewrite the script and make it non linear and crazy and stuff. So how’d that play out for you? I mean, it wasn’t horrible. I didn’t. I thought that I missed something at first and I went back and re watched it and realized that it was intentionally non linear. And I didn’t just space out halfway in because it starts out and we see Shinji fighting his very first fight ever in this EVA in this, you know, unit 01.

And then right when it gets good, it kind of flashes to him in a hospital bed. So event. Eventually we go back and we see what happened in the whole fight. I don’t know. I’m okay with that. I would have been okay with it being linear, too. You know me, I’m. I’ve got a very simple palette when it comes to the storyline. Unless I know I’m walking into a Quentin Tarantino movie, then I kind of prefer to be led very, you know, carefully all the way to the water. No, they want to get already on you for this one.

I. I do. Like, I was thinking about when that was happening, those walking simulators that they have, like, on smartphones and stuff, where it’s just supposed to make walking extremely difficult, right, because you have to, like, control the muscles in the simulator or whatever. It doesn’t look fun to you? It looks frustrating. I. I have not downloaded. I played a couple versions of some of those, and it. The whole point of it is that it’s frustrating and that most people give up out of frustration before they can do the most simple of tasks. But, yeah, I.

I do like the narrative that sh. Gets out there and instantly screws up and gets his butt kicked, which it turns out that things, you know, are quite different. But that’s what we see, and that’s how he feels, you know? Well, he gets his butt kicked. But then the. Sue, you might actually have to explain some of this to me. So he gets into this big fight with an angel, and he gets his ass kicked by the angel, and it might be a demon and it might be a devil, because in the first episode, they interchangeably used all three of those.

So I’m just going to call him like a fallen angel. So he’s fighting the fallen angel in his mech suit, Fallen angel beats him, and to the point where we even see this red liquid. I’m gonna assume it’s transmission fluid squirting out of the head of this huge Unit 01 mech suit. And, like, crush the arm, and Shinji’s inside, and he can feel his arm being crushed in a way. And everyone’s like, oh, my God, this is it. It’s all over. And then the mech suit starts regenerating, and then it gets its own new eyeball. And then everyone says, oh, my God, it’s shifted into its true form.

So now I’m, like, not fully understanding. Are the mech suits like a. Like a chrysalis that surrounds an actual organic entity or something? That. And that’s what they’re sending off to fight these fallen Angels. That’s kind of the thing. Like, these aren’t just Gundam mech suits, right? There’s some kind of consciousness behind them that we don’t seem to understand. So we’re like harnessing. It’s kind of like how some, you know, like the Google guy talking about how we’re getting into AI and there’s. The old ones are somewhere back there. You know, there’s entities in the AI.

That’s kind of what we’re getting at with the. With the EVAs. Okay. And. And they put up these things called AT Fields, which stand for, in English at least, absolute Terror Fields. And from what I can understand, an absolute terror field is both a psychological and a physical block. It’s like a big force field that you can put up and acts like this shield for almost anything. Except in this episode, we see that Shinji uses the unit 001 to kind of like goat see himself through the fallen Angels AT field and then beats him. And that’s like this big thing because now the Shen.

Shenji’s Mech suit, the Unit 01 has now done at least three different things that no one has ever seen done before. One is that it immediately synced with Shinji before because everyone else had to go through eight months of training or something. Two, it regenerated somehow. And three, it can go see through one of these AT fields. I think the idea is it’s kind of like the technology is harnessing a. I don’t know, a metaphysical tiger. Right. So what, Thundercats or Cringer. Right. He man’s tiger. It’s got all the battle armor and stuff on. He in control.

Right. But if he man gets knocked out, Cringer might go into berserk mode. And that’s what we’re. I mean, they actually say. Do they say berserk mode in this? They do, yeah. Yeah. So it’s kind of like the Lovecraftian creatures come. They’re trying to harness it, and it’s coming through with Gingi for whatever reason. Okay, I’m. I’m in for. I’m in for this. And. And really, that’s kind of where it ends off. There’s a. The other part of this episode, aside from the non linear waking up in a hospital room and then revisiting and having flashbacks of the fight, but it’s also him moving in with the secretary.

I’m gonna. I’m gonna say Ray. Right, Ray. But she’s like, the way that you mentioned it, she’s sort of a secretary. Oh, Ray’s the other Pilot. This is Misato. Who’s Masato? He. He kind of moves in with Masato or is at least staying with her, and turns out that she’s a messy, raging alcoholic and all she can talk about is like telling him to make a move on her, but he’s too bashful. So then she yells at him and says to be a man and then leaves in frustration. And that seems like a very. That seems like it’s going to be a reoccurring sort of dynamic between these two.

Yeah, there is. We saw it in Ponyo too. Kind of like alcoholism is a punchline in anime for whatever reason. And we’re not. I’m not talking about light alcoholism. He walks in and he says he’s looking through her fridge and he’s looking through a pantry and he says she’s got 500 gallons of beer. And the second that she gets home, she just starts slamming beers and immediately gets drunk and I would almost say ranges on. Belligerent in some ways. Like she turns into an angry drunk a little bit. So I’m actually a little bit excited to see how the, the drunk roommate dynamic plays out in this series.

I’ve seen it in Japan. I mean, you know, after you’ve lived most of your adult life in Japan, it might just be a thing. But, you know, one co worker, very nice lady, when we have parties, she starts drinking, gets. Starts belligerently hitting on everyone, right? So. So this does happen. It’s not unrealistic. I noticed Misato made a pyramid, right? I’m like, oh, it took like five of us college freshmen at spring break to manage the pyramid. I mean, that was just like two days. We hopefully that pyramid took her at least like a week. I.

I don’t know, I got the impression that we were watching like maybe a 25 hour span, maybe. Yeah, but also the. The reason he’s there is basically because his father wants nothing to do with him, including talking to him, which is, you know, as he’s kind of the. The evil. Not evil. He’s the cabal leader. Right. Completely fixated on. I mean, maybe he’s evil too, but he’s. He’s on the side of whatever. He’s on the human side in our, in our little story here. Well, we saw in the first episode that he abandoned Shinji when Shinji was just a kid.

And now that Shenji’s meeting up with his dad again, the first thing was like, why now, Father? You know, why. Why now bring me back into your life after all these years and he said, because I’ve got a use for you. So he’s very utilitarian in a way. He’s. We’re only going to see dad when dad needs Shenji. And if I can. Again, I haven’t seen this series, but I can just think ahead. If this were a traditional Western story, that would be one of the major story arcs is that Shinji and Shinji’s dad come together and bury the hatchet in some way.

I kind of hope that doesn’t happen. I kind of hope that there’s just this non stop Miyazaki style like tension between father and son that goes throughout the entire series. But we’ll see. Oh yeah, you were mentioning the AT fields and you know, just like spotting things that aren’t necessarily religious or metaphysical. I was definitely thinking of the, the. The Dune shields. I don’t remember what they’re called. And so it’s something similar, something real whack and Dune. You know, I’m talking about Doom video game Dune. D U N E oh, Dun. No, no. I’m out of my.

I’m out of my league. When we talk about. There’s a. There’s a very cool scene from the David lynch version of the movie where, I mean, they’re in the newer ones too, and of course the book. But it’s the. They fight when they do melee combat hand to hand, they have these fields and in the 1984 Dune, it’s like early CG and it just makes them look like, like Proto Minecraft things. But the whole thing is it’s impenetrable to any normal blow. So you have to like stab people slowly to get through the field. And that’s kind of what I felt like we were seeing here.

That seems kind of like a useless field if all you got to do is slow down a little bit to get through it. Right. Well, the whole point is you can’t just like come in with a sword and, you know, go swinging. You have to like really like plan your attack, I guess, which is sort of. Well, this is. This the. The EVA just kind of rips the field open, which is pretty cool. But I just imagine that in the pitching room as they’re. They’re throwing together the next Dune movie, they’re like, look, instead of the high paced action scenes where everyone’s fighting in hyperspeed, let’s just slow it all down.

And you can just see him slowly crafting that sword in the air. It seems like it would make for a bad cinema. Well, watch the scene in Dune is what I all I can say it’s pretty cool in that it is weird though. It, it maybe the effect takes you out of the movie a little bit, but it’s such a strange movie that whatever you can, you can come out of that movie and it’s fine. Also, don’t watch David Lynch’s doing without reading the book first. That’s one where you do have to read the book first or it will be completely incoherent.

Yeah, sometimes, sometimes the media is made for a smaller group of insiders, I think. And one of the other things we’re watching, this Neon Genesis Evangelion, which I’m going to try and just keep saying its entirety, is, I can’t shake that freaking VO director. I, I didn’t watch the VO cut this version. I just watched the regular English dubs version. But I can’t get out of my head where he’s like, oh yeah, all the symbols in this show, they just kind of threw men’s hair to make you feel like it was deeper than it actually is.

Because I was picking out a bunch of stuff. Like for example, when the EVA Unit 01 rebounds and jumps onto the fallen angel and it initiates this self destruction sequence and you see this big kind of like a nuclear blast, but when it zooms out, it shows that nuclear blast forms a glowing crucifix in the sky. And all I could think of is, is, is this the version of what that that VO director was talking about? And that, okay, you see a crucifix. They’re just doing that to make this feel deeper. Maybe he didn’t know what the hell he was talking about.

They didn’t invite him to the meetings where they decided what all the symbolism meant. Yeah, like, like I think he’s right and wrong. Like, I do think they’re intentionally just taking a lot of cultural things, religious symbolism and putting it in. But I mean, come on, there is enough purpose. We have an angel fighting a beast, Revelations beast, which is we are quote unquote controlling. We’re putting a crucifix in the sky. I mean, once you’ve included all those elements, you’re, they’re, they go together, you know, it’s not just throwing stuff at a wall. And so Neon Genesis Evangelion, the Eva, that’s the Beast, right? We’re talking about Unit 01 is the Beast.

Yeah, that’s so the interesting thing I’m. And I haven’t watched this series, by the way, so I’m on with you about knowing most of the things I just picked up a little more that they’re, like, you know, organic, somewhat organic or sentient or something. But, yeah, like, we are maybe harnessing evil to fight whatever is coming from the sky. Are they good? Are they bad? Don’t expect coherency from this series, by the way. It is. It is well known for being weirdly abstract, especially when we get to the end. Speaking of, there’s also a weird scene in here where Shinji is going, like, taking a shower, and there’s just a penguin in the shower, and it walks out, and she’s just like, oh, yeah, that’s.

That’s my penguin. They’re. They’re cool now. They’re. They like warm climates now, and there’s no real explanation. It kind of reminds me of every Japanese fighting game I’ve ever played, like Samurai showdown or something, where there’s always a character that just has a random pet and it’s almost implied, like, oh, what a kooky backstory those two must have. But now I do feel like I need to know. Why is this chick living with a penguin? Well, when I was in high school one summer, I went hanging out the cool girl’s house most days, and she had a pet pig for some reason.

I mean, yeah, I knew people with pet pigs and pet turtles and pet snakes and stuff, but a pet penguin. Penguin is a step above also. That means, like, especially considering her amount of drinking. That apartment must smell completely vile. Does the penguin drink, too? Probably looked like a drunk penguin, right? Yeah. Is penguin poop as bad as just like, a giant, you know, like, pigeon poop? We’ve been to the aquarium, haven’t you? I mean, yeah, but I. I think that. I don’t know, they keep it tidy, at least in SeaWorld. At least. The penguin exhibit, everything else, they.

They let go to hell. But the penguin exhibit, they kind of keep spicing span. So I don’t know. I. I know that I’ve seen them swimming underwater, but it’s hard to tell when they’re doing it underwater. Okay. Because the last aquarium I went to, it had an outdoor place for the penguins. You’re walking along this path, and then under you on both sides are all the penguins. Some of it’s water, some of it’s rocks, and you get a nice big old whiff of whatever they’re doing. I mean, it’s a cool display. You’re just like, yeah, penguin poo has.

Has a notable stench to it. So they should do something with that. They should find some kind of Chemical. They can just like spray or feed to the penguins just so that they don’t smell so bad. Stale beer and, and. And penguin poop. That’s. That’s what it is. I. There was. When this came out, Anime News Network’s Kyle Pope referred to Misado as. The purpose of the episode was to establish the character of Misato, which could be summed up in two words. Alcoholic slut. Which. Okay, Yeah, I mean, he. Again, he’s 14, right? Yeah, that’s the story.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there’s. Yeah, there’s a little weird like imbalance in the relationship because I would guess that she’s probably 20, maybe like mid-20s. Unless she’s just I’m really horrible alcohol habit before she even became of age. I mean, that, that is a weird thing. We are in the post apocalypse in this, in this TV show. But things look nice, which is, I mean, you know, at the end, Tokyo 3 rises from the ground and it looks amazing, right? Like everything looks like Japan. When he’s sitting in the hospital lobby, it looks like a Japanese hospital lobby.

When he’s going down the street, it looks like a Japanese street. I’m curious how this looks to you, because when I saw like Dragon Ball before I ever moved to Japan, I was like, wow, the cities and anime are so creative. And then I came to Japan, I was like, oh, that’s just what they look like here. So does the city look stylized other than the sci fi stuff? Just the normal city stuff? I mean, a little bit, but not. I mean, I’m. I guess I’m just used to so much Akira style cities that this one doesn’t really stand out a whole lot.

Maybe has like a New York City kind of feel to it. Maybe slightly more high tech because this does take place in the future. In 20. Was it 15 or 20? The future 2015. Yeah, the 2015. So. But this kind of like the, the. The normal city stuff. I, I guess the idea is this city’s in the mountains, and since it didn’t get flooded, it hasn’t been particularly screwed up until the angels show up, you know. Right. And this is Tokyo 3, I believe. Right? Yeah. And there’s a phrase in this episode where they say the Tokyo 3 is basically a fortress that was almost like it was designed to protect itself against these fallen angels.

And I guess I don’t understand that part yet. I don’t understand what is so great about Tokyo 3 that it has some sort of natural barrier against these angels versus Tokyo 1 and 2. Well, Tokyo 1 is underwater. Right. We saw that in the beginning. So it seems they hastily moved. Let’s get into the mountains. That’s. That’s where I am. Like Tokyo 2 is one mountain range from where I am. It’s. It’s supposed to be a rebuilt Matsumoto. I don’t think we see it, but yeah, I’m basically in Tokyo too, here. Tokyo 3 is much closer to real Tokyo.

New Year’s they have the Hakone marathon where they. I think they start in Tokyo and they run to this mountain lake and that’s Hakone. So that’s where this is. So it seems they hastily moved to two and then spent three. Like, oh, we need to have like extremely high technology. They start talking about how much the budget is in this, you know, like in the apocalypse. It’s like they’re still concerned about the budget. Right? Yeah, it’s like Epcot a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Although it seems Epcot’s getting depressing now from what I hear. I don’t know.

You can get back to me on that. I will, yeah. I think soon. Soon I’ll be checking it out. What’s depressing about it, I have to hear. Oh, just. It’s all IP now, you know, all the. All the 80s weird stuff is long gone for the most part, you know. Yeah, I mean that’s kind of always been the thing. It’s just that now you’re getting older so there’s not as much nostalgia for you. But there’s plenty of nostalgia for the new wave. No, Guardian’s supposed to be great. Hey, and you can still go drinking around the world.

That’s always a fun thing to do at Epcot, right? Let’s do it. Yeah. Black ant rimmed margaritas in Mexico, from what I hear. Haven’t been there since 2009. I think it’s been a while since I’ve been there, but. All right, well, you’ll be there in spirit when I go. There we go. Where were we? Oh, yeah. What do you think about the jarring tone of this? Because I think we’re going to get more of that. I think that really is an anime thing where it has this very serious battle and then this very light hearted, almost like silly stuff in the apartment.

Although punctuated by things that are like real problems. I mean, I’m biased, but I can’t take any Kaiju battle serious. Even if it is like, you know, people are dying and this horrible tragedies. I’m just looking at, you know, the rampage arcade game or I’m watching an old Godzilla movie, so just. It. It’s really hard for me to suspend my belief, like my disbelief when it comes to Kaiju, because I just think Power Rangers immediately. So I can only take anything as serious as I could take a Power Rangers episode. Have you watched the original Godzilla? I have, absolutely.

When I was a little kid, I saw it, yeah. Because that one has a nice balance of being like a real movie for one and being a little darker and yeah, making Godzilla properly intimidating. It was like it looked like a video where someone was playing with a big toy. Maybe that’s why I like though, because newer. I mean, I’ve seen all the newer monster movies and I generally like them. I mean, none of them are great movies, but I still prefer dude in rubber suit. You know, it’s like with Planet of the Apes. The. The newer movies, I guess they’re fine, but I want.

I want dude in a monkey suit. I don’t. I don’t want the mocap, so I want the thing I’m not going to take seriously sometimes. I guess that it’s fair. I think we just have different sort of like, I like cheesy horror, but I like cheesy horror when it doesn’t take itself too seriously, Freddy Krueger style, right? Like you can have the body horror and you can have the monster type horror, but it also kind of jokes and is self referential about it. Otherwise, my kind of horror movie is a lot more subtle. Not even body horror type stuff, but just like.

Like room 1408 was one of my favorite ones when it came out that everyone hated. Everyone thought it was like the worst movie ever, at least horror movie. And I really like that style of a horror movie. Here’s something I guess with. With the Kaiju here though, they’re really hard to picture in your mind. Godzilla, you can EAS what Godzilla looks like. Moth are very easy. This one. Before I. We started watching a show, I really didn’t know exactly. I couldn’t quite picture an Eva, right? I. I knew the colors purple and green were involved a lot.

Now that I’ve seen two episodes, I like have a vague memory of what Eva looks like. But it’s kind of hard to wrap your brain around what these things look like. I mean, for. For me, my brain just puts together what’s missing. So it’s. To me, it’s just a green and purple sharp Voltron, and that’s it. Okay. And then the angel. I’m thinking of like a melted egg with an eye. You know, that’s. That’s fine. That’s like, honestly, the angel, they don’t show much of it. The angel reminds me of when they show an adult in Charlie Brown or something.

Like, we usually just get a little chopped off version of the torso or just maybe a weird shot of the head. And the angels also tend to look, so far in the first two episodes, they tend to have darker color palettes and not. They’re not like glowing, you know, with like different lights coming out the same way that some of these Eva mech suits are. So I’m kind of hoping we get a much better vision of some of the fallen angels. Did you have any bits of rabbit holing on on this episode that you wanted to throw out? Oh, the one quick one and I.

It’s. It’s a force tangent a little bit, but it’s one of my favorite kind of weird topics. And that is when Shinji gets grabbed by this fallen angel and it crunches the arm of the mech suit and he starts freaking out because I guess he feels that his arm’s also hurting. They have to tell him through the comms, don’t worry, you’re fine, your arm’s fine. It’s just the suit arm. But it reminds me that ghost limbs again, like, when you can feel like an arm that’s no longer there, if you got like your arm severed or.

And some people have ghost pains where now your arm that doesn’t even exist gets a cramp in it or like a Charlie horse. What a weird concept that you could have a Charlie horse in a part of your body doesn’t even exist anymore. And that is one of the weird phenomenon that Renee Descartes used to try and isolate where he thought the soul lived and where he eventually found it in the pineal gland. One of those reasons was because of ghost limbs and that if you were to chop off all. All four of somebody’s extremities, right, Their arms and their legs, then you could still have this weird feeling.

And also that you would be just as conscious and have the same amount of soul in your body, even without any of your limbs. So, like. And part of that proof was that these goat, like, the. The fact you could still feel an arm that wasn’t there means that you didn’t lose part of your soul. So if you were to chop everyone’s arms and legs off, they don’t lose any of their soul. So then he starts extrapolating that, like, what else could I chop off of someone? Chop off your nose. Chop off your ears like, you know, if.

And eventually at a certain point, you’d get to where it’s just like a brain being kept alive by, you know, heart or something. And that if you started taking little chunks of brain out, that someone can still fully be functional, still have the same amount of soul. So, long story short, he finds the exact epicenter of the brain to where, if you were to chop any part of this out, you’re now as central as you possibly can be. And he deduced, therefore, that that’s where the soul has to live. So anyway, Ghost limbs, Rene Descartes and the pineal gland being the seat of the soul, all kind of connect.

So anytime Ghost limbs comes up, that’s where my mind goes. Of course, if you take the more Eastern thing, now you’re looking at chakras, you know, seven or more. And he just happened to find one of them. In that case, you need the whole like, you know, kind of kundalini spinal thing to. To maintain his soul. And I. I know some people are like, oh, they keep going above your head. So, you know, that system would. And below. Above and below where you are anyway. Right? So that, you know, like, if. If I cut you in half.

If, like, like. And walk hard, where he cuts his brother in half, you know, you. You cannot maintain your soul because you. You need the base as well. Yeah. Walk hard. That’s the Dewey version, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I always want to throw in a walk hard reference when I can. One of my favorite movies. Anything else you wanted to get on for this episode? I found a couple quotes I guess I’ll read just to back up what the VO guy said or to, you know, like, contrast, because the director. Let’s see, the director of the Beast said an interview that Christian graphic symbols were used for artistic reasons by the main staff because they are considered cool for the Japanese audience.

And to differentiate Neon Genesis Evangelion from other Mecca anime, they wanted to make it more complicated. I guess he’s kind of. Kind of saying similar stuff by director. I don’t know if this is the same guy, though, so. Or a different guy. Hey, Japan, my cross is not your culture. Well, there is a thing. I mean, I feel like. I don’t know how this is in the States now. Maybe it’s different. But in the past, if you wear a band T shirt. You like that band, right? Name one song. Yeah, yeah. Or, you know, if I’m wearing a Jaws T shirt.

That’s because I. I really like the movie Jaws. Yeah. But In Japan, like people will just go, uniqlo, buy a Jaws T shirt, you know, guy fashion T shirts and not know what the hell it is. I, I’ve seen kids wearing about 10 years. I saw a bunch of kids wearing like Ramon shirts and none of them knew who the Ramones were. And do you see any like Jesus saved shirts? Westboro Baptist Church. That’s. I haven’t seen that. But that’s my point. You will see some Christian stuff to be cool. Like someone will be wearing like a gold cross, but they’re not Christian.

I think Japan is like 2% Christian. So we’re all heathens out here. Name one miracle. You should stop someone on the street next time you see across and make them like just speak, you know, just, just shout out one Bible verse. Tell me a saying and what they did. Do a Hail Mary right now. Hail Mary. Okay. Yeah, so I guess we’ll wrap this one up for today. If you want to give people the the up and up for what you’re up to. Yeah, just keep going back to paranoidamerican.com that’s the best place to find all the cool projects that I got going on.

There’s lots coming out this year still. I hope. Does Bigfoot exist? Dot com is a comic book about Bigfoot.
