Returning guest NewtypeLady is back to talk with me about the 1995 smash-hit, Neon Genesis Evangelion--another Gainax series that takes place in the “distant future of 2015″ (and celebrates it’s 20th anniversary this year!) Even with this extra-long episode, we only touch the tip of the iceberg on what makes this series tick & why it’s considered such an important piece of work. Listen as we discuss why it’s a mecha show that’s not a mecha show, our feelings towards these character’s feelings, and the many reasons why we wish this series was not currently out of print in the US.
