I started the podcast from where I left off over the weekend and it's just Austin and cado talking about Gundam and I got very confused

Waypoint+ |OT| "Fuck Capitalism, Go Home"

Yeah the whole last half hour is just those two talking over a Gundam trailer.
Yeah figured it out after awhile.
Also I need Twitter reactions from them for episode 23-24 of Eva.
I'm more interested in 23/24 because I'm my experience that's where people decide if they hate or love the series.
I'm the former. I've grown to respect what they were going for but hate the way they went about it.

As much as I've been enjoying the Waypoint Eva Pod, I feel like they are constantly missing the point of what the show is trying to actually say. I'm listening to Dan and Bianca's podcast and it seems like they are picking up on the messages a lot better. I feel like the Waypoint crew tends to read into things a little too much.
I wouldn't have expected Dan and Bianca to be better with pronunciations too.
Ah yes, Eva, the show notorious for having a fanbase that does not read a lot into its themes.
What have Dan and Bianca been saying in contrast to Waypoint?
Talking more about the characters' isolation, anxiety and depression, Dan even pointed out how trauma seems to be a theme and quite rightly compared the interior of the Evas to a womb.
I've honestly been impressed by their coverage of it. Look forward to their realizations around who Rei actually is.
really? it feels to me that dan and bianca are about half and half.
i mean they're definitely a breath of fresh air after the waycasts, but that's just because of how light and breezy they are.
I mean the waypoint podcast have been saying that too so I don't know what Apeach is smoking.
Like really, the biggest complainers about waypoint's Eva podcasts are all about how they shouldn't criticise the show sexualising Asuka and Rei because culture and also how they're missing the point of their sexualisation.
i just watched the first two episodes in japanese, and one thing I wasn't prepared for was how fast the show moves still. Like, there's some really important stuff that happens in a scene that is over in like 25-30 seconds. I guess it just emphasises the sense of stillness that occurs from time to time.
Also the way Misato acts when she's putting up her more comedic front I think works better with the more Japanese cultural conception of that character archetype. But I'll have to check the English to see.

Fair enough! I listened to all of the last episode on Saturday afternoon and think I naturally zoned out at points haha.
"Get into [insert strategy game Rob loves], Patrick."
Because there are so many "versons" of Evangelion, I keep having weird gaps in my memory.
For example, I vividly remember a scene when they are talking about the 4th Pilot, where there was a montage of everyone talking about it, and then Toji taking a popsical stick out of his mouth and saying "guess I won". That didn't happen in the Anime, so I thought "maybe this was a movie thing?"
Then, this weekend, I watched 1.11 and 2.22, and Toji doesn't even become a pilot in that!
Now, I'm debating taking my Manga volumes off the shelf and checking to see if it happened there, or if my mind is completely broken
Also, we are now at 10 hours and 40 minutes of podcasts, while the combined run time of 26 episodes plus EoE is about 16 hours. They are going to podcast longer about the show than it takes to watch, in grand Waypoint tradition

I'm still working my way through them, but the things that stood out to me so far:
- Dan picked up how Shinji's line about "another unfamiliar ceiling" was meant to convey that he spends his time moving around a lot. I don't remember Waypoint commenting on that, but maybe I missed it.
- They pointed out how the Eva going berserk in the first episode might imply that there's some underlying anger in Shinji.
- They pointed out how Rei seems to view Gendo as a god-like figure. Waypoint touched on this a little bit, but I don't think they pointed out the religious parallel.
But both podcasts are going for different things, so it's fine.
As they mentioned, the free agent pricing in the video game draft shows the creators' biases:
Overpriced:
Half-Life at 30.
Tomb Raider at 25
Infamous at 15
Stardew Valley at 15
Alien at 15
Prey at 15
Tony Hawk at 10
Mirror's Edge at 10
Hotline Miami at 10
Olympics at 5 is a great deal.

Yeah, the pricing on many was a bit strange lol.
However, given that one doesn't actually need to "play" with the drafted team it didn't matter too much. It might even be better in that case.
I'm still a bit ambivalent about it.
The school stuff does sound better than i expected. As does the training/character stuff.
My biggest concern is still how difficult it will be. I hope being good at the RPG elements doesn't mean the battles become a cakewalk.

Yeah, I pre-ordered Fire Emblem as soon as I heard how excited they were for it. It sounds raaaaaad.
This might seem like a dumb question, but is the End of Evangelion movie redubbed like the show is? I'm used to those voices now...
Beautiful.
Are you thinking of the third Rebuild? The End of Evangelion didn't have a live action intro.
It sure is. The old dub was a disaster, so I doubt Studio Khara would allow that to be re-released even if the series didn't get a full redub.
Before I got it on DVD back in the day I watched it online and that version had live action at the start.
This is it:
Unless it was some weird fan edit.
That's good to hear. It'd be a shame if that part of the game went away.
The RPG trappings alone aren't enough to keep me enganged in that kind of setting.
Yeah, that was never part of the movie. As far as I can tell, the short was only ever released as a bonus feature on the Japanese DVD re-release.
