Please do more!!!

The Podcast is perfect!!! I love the rewatch while explaining things as they happen. This series tends to be one you can easily go off on a tangent, so the following along method is great. Also love the fact that I can faintly hear it, so I can listen at work. I’m having trouble understanding the re-builds and would love for you to do them as well as The End of Eva! Please?!?!?
Plus perfect analysis and very good demeanor from the caster! Very very good cast 5 stars

Best Eva Podcast ever!

After experiencing Eva for the first time I (obviously) needed more insight and perspective. I downloaded every Eva podcast I could find and this is by far the most thorough, well produced, and interesting podcast on the subject. I personally appreciate the English dub in the background, as it makes it a bit easier to keep track of the sequence of each episode as he’s talking. Thank you for creating this! I highly encourage an End of Eva episode (or 2)

The End

I loved the podcast! I started a long time ago but since the Netflix release is imminent, I took the time to binge the rest. Your show surely earned the 5 stars I left as a review. I really appreciated the level of effort you clearly put into this project. I am very excited to show my spouse Evangelion for the first time in the coming days. Going in with the the renewed perspective I’ve gleaned from your analysis is very exciting. That being said, I truly hope you eventually tackle End of Evangelion. It feels like your podcast is missing it’s true ending, much like the reception of the original series. Cheers and hopefully see you at the End.
