Episode 109 - Neon Genesis Evangelion by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As mankind tilts on the edge of the apocalypse, a young boy named Shinji Ikari travels to Tokyo-3 after receiving a cryptic message from his estranged father. But the summons isn't the reunion Shinji was hoping for: instead of reconnection, he is asked to pilot a giant robot known as an Eva... And just like that the fate of the entire human race rests on one boy's shoulders...
This week, Mat sits down once again with Tom to discuss Neon Genesis Evangelion. While they try to stick to Volume 1 of the manga bu Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, the boys cannot help but spill into broader discussion about Evangelion as a whole, so BIG SPOILER WARNINGS for the anime / End of Eva / the Rebuild Movies if you haven't seen them!
If you have watched the anime (or just don't care about spoilers) get on your plug suit and sync up as we discuss the manga's similarities to the anime, it's length serialisation and how it's totally ok dropping a huge spoiler right in the 5th chapter! For Eva fans, this isn't one to miss!
