In this episode of Anime Binge Club, Spencer and Kevin delve into personal introspection and the impact of self-help books, specifically "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" by Lindsay C. Gibson. Spencer shares his recent personal revelations and the validation he feels from the book, while Kevin reflects on his own patterns of behavior in relationships. The conversation also touches on the political climate and the nature of healing fantasies. Then we dive into episode seven of Neon Genesis Evangelion, discussing its slower pace, budget-conscious animation choices, and character development, particularly of Misato. We also explore the cultural differences in how sexuality and prudishness are portrayed in anime versus American media.

We dive deep into episode 6 of Neon Genesis Evangelion that maybe spends a little too much time engaging chevrons and not enough on the art and story. Spencer and Kevin come away with some wildly different takes on the same scenes, then Spencer goes over some self-discovery breakthroughs and possibly makes up some One Piece plot lines to impress Kevin.

We finally made it to 150. Spencer and Kevin do a "Power Hour" of shots, rants and hot takes. Spencer admittedly gets real weird with it in a strange podcasting traumablast set to the periodic accompaniment of random beverages.
