Welcome to the Y2Gamers Podcast, a place where two long time friends and gaming rivals co-op and talk about a golden age of gaming, anime, and geek culture at the turn of the millennium. Each week, across the Pacific Ocean, we explore a fun new topic through our unique and wacky vantage points and share plenty of laughs along the way! About the hosts: Ming is a long-time gaming enthusiast with a special love for fighting, racing, and role-playing games. He also loves anime, sci-fi, and all things Japanese language and culture. He currently works and lives in Beijing, China...where he misses driving and unfettered internet access a lot! On the US east coast, Nick is an active member of the North Carolina gaming community with a specialty in fighting games and impossibly hard bullet-hell shooters. He is also an avid runner and eats marathons for breakfast!

You Mustn't Run Away...From This Special Evangelion Episode!
Episode 8
Tuesday, 31 December, 2024

For our very last episode of 2024, we are bringing you a very special conversation about the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series...a category-defining show that remains as powerful today as was almost 30 years ago. In this very special edition, we discuss how NGE TV has impacted us over the last 3 decades and how our impression of the show, as well as our understanding of its themes continue to transform as we age through life. This analysis is accompanied by discussions of how the masterfully crafted music played a key role in establishing the mood of the show, and share how the show's theme song was so successful, it basically is its own industry! And love it or hate it, we even talk about our love of the 90's ADV Films Dub!As always, if you enjoy this episode, please do us a favor and hit 'Like' and 'Subscribe' on whatever platform you use to get the podcast.
