My Sister, Evangelion, and MeAuthor: Elstro Production [Podcast, Music, Audio Post]
An episode-by-episode analysis of the anime series and films, in which I, Josh, try to convince my non-anime watching sister, Steph, that Hideaki Annos 1995 anime Neon Genesis Evangelion and subsequent films, End of Evangelion and the Rebuild of Evangelion series is one of the greatest compilations of modern art and media made in our lifetime. Each podcast features a beat by beat review of two episodes of the series interspersed with our own cultural and media reference and critique. Josh is a full-time media producer (and occasional critic). Steph is a literary obsessive and librarian. Both of us have nearly 15 year old degrees in media studies. So were mega qualified to do this. Language: en Genres: Philosophy, Society & Culture, TV & Film, TV Reviews Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

End of Evangelion
Friday, 9 June, 2023
Is Shinji truest the “lowest of the low” for doing…. you know? Or is he going a bit too far acting out the dreams of his Jungian Shadow Self? Is Miss Misato a sicko pedo? Or are you the weird lil’ freak? Let’s dive in and find out in our analysis of End of Evangelion.We quantify that Human Instrumentality with a giant Rei Ayanami mom figure would be a way cooler way to go out than nuclear war. Most importantly, Josh will emphatically state his strong case for this film being Anno holding an ugly mirror up to his most ardently passionate fans. It’s a pretty good one. Kendrick Lamar and Hideaki Anno have the same message for us: I made you think about it, but I am not your savior. It’s not your fault. But it is your responsibility. Go outside. Make a friend. Touch grass.Anno points two big middle fingers up at all of us as we analyze End of Evangelion to wrap a bow on it and put the original series to bed. But stay subscribed to this feed as we have plans to potentially put out special episodes revisiting Evangelion, other Anno works, or semi-related media as we feel and may do a 2nd Season covering the Rebuild series eventually.Support the show: Patreon, Venmo or CashApp
