The girls he was once attracted to have now turned to figures of dread.

 
* Katsuragi and Asuka are both mired in depression, the former because Kaje is dead and the latter because of her recent brain rape.
 
* Does she even know Mr. Kaji is dead?
 
* I guess not.
 
* She's living at the class of that girl who's the student council president or whatever.
 
* Did they even meet before?
 
* Was it ever established that they ever knew each other?
 
* Asuka has become a gamer girl, totally rad.
 
* This scene feels like these two characters should be bonding over the recent deaths of the men they had unrequited crushes on but Suzuhara's death was clumsily written around in post and Asuka doesn't even know that Kaje is dead apparently.

* Dr. Risotto's grandmother calls her crying because her cat died, eliciting the strongest emotional reaction this show had so far. 
 
* THE SPEAR OF LONGPENIS
 
* IT'S STUCK IN SPACE
 
* FUCK
 
* Why is the Seele council depicted as a ring of floating monoliths now?
 
* This angel is just a circle I guess.
 
* The designs are getting more abstract but also more lazy.
 
* "Is that angel aggressively attempting to make first contact with Unit 0???"
 
* What?
 
* I guess it's Rei's turn to get raped this ep.
 
* Rei vored the angel to death.
 
* Only one angel from the Dead Sea Squirrels remains!
 
* "I know he's feeling lonely, I wonder if he's afraid of women."
 
* Jesus.
 
* Rei's in the hospital with the same bandages she had in the first episode after Unit 0 blew up or whatever.
 
* I guess that's a coincidence though or maybe reused animation? Because she says she's the third Rei but if the one we first met had just been decanted she'd be the fourth right? Because she also died when she got strangled as a child.
 
* Now Dr. Risotto is naked for some reason.
 
* Oh it's Kaje's spy capsule that he hid in Katsuragi's vagina.
 
* I guess it was a secret message after all.
 
* Seele needs 12 Evas for some reason.
 
* They're going to blow up Tokyo 3!
 
* Shinji, Risotto, and Katsuragi taking an elevator to the artificial evolution basement.
 
* An Eva graveyard!
 
* Lmao a whole piss tank full of Reis.
 
* Shinji: "Evas are human???"
 
* Keep up you dumb fuck.
 
* "Mankind came across a god and then tried to make it their own. Fifteen years ago, God inflicted his wrath. The god they were so excited about disappeared. Undeterred, they worked to resurrect their god themselves. That was Adam. Just like God, they made a human from Adam. That was Eva. Originally Evas didn't have human souls. Souls were embedded in them. They were all made of salvaged material. The only one with a soul was Rei. She was the only one that was born containing a soul. The chamber of Guff (???) was now empty."
 
* Whaaaaaaaatt
 
* I'm lost tbh.
 
* I guess Ganondorf was fucking Risotto, maybe? She breaks down crying because she has no respect for her body and Katsuragi says "This is the tragedy of those obsessed with the Evas." 
 
* Preview for next ep: "The girls he was once attracted to have now turned to figures of dread."
 
* 2meirl4meirl


* Baby Asuka comes home to find her mom hanging from the ceiling. Was her mom trying to kill her a false memory? Asuka has all sync rate with her Eva and is a total burnout fuckup now.

* I didn't like this character at first but she's had one of the most interesting arcs on the show.

* Shinji's friends all went back to their home planet off-screen.

* The Fifth Children is the most anime boy who ever animed.

* "We're very similar, Rei, it seems we've both come to assume the body type of the linen (?) who live here on this planet."

* Haha what the fuck.

* Shinji blushes every time he talks to this character.

* Now they're going to the shower together.

* Omg what is this

* Are they writing slash of their own show?

* Holy shit.

* Ganondorf has an eyeball growing out of his palm.

* Do the Japanese really sleep with one tiny blanket that only covers their stomach?

* Jesus another opaque lore dump.

* "We, humanity, the usurper-successors who arose from the Black Moon. Our progenitor is Lillith. And the angels, the true successors who arose from the now-lost White Moon, their progenitor is Adam. The soul which was salvaged from Adam has been embodied in you. However, Adam's restored physical self has been embodied within Gendo Ikari."

* Katsuragi, staring at the back of Kaworu's head: "He's too far away for me to read his lips."

* Kaworu Nagisa is the final angel! Talk about an anticlimax!

* He makes Asuka's Eva come to life and start trashing shit.

* Ganondorf: "Use any means necessary to prevent the target from entering the terminal dogma."

* Huh

* Shinji can't believe the yaoi who blew him in the bathtub was really an angel all along.

* "The AT fields are the inner walls everyone has inside themselves."

* I guess the eva pilots are the evas' souls?

* Now Kaworu is also calling the lumpy white crucified angel Adam.

* I THINK HE WOULD KNOW.

* Lmao I guess not.

* "I don't understand what you're trying to say to me! It doesn't make any sense!" ~ Shinji summarizes the plot

* This is the worst angel.

* Five-minute still shot of Unit 1 holding Kaworu in its fist.

* Millions of Japanese children fiddling with the rabbit ears on their TVs.

* Shinji feels sad that he killed the only boy who ever liked him.

* Why are they talking about him like he was a real person?

* Maybe the ribbon dancer Angel that Shinji ate alive would have blown him too if he'd asked.

Ep. 14: DOUBLE DINOBOT

Ep. 14: DOUBLE DINOBOT

Paul: Ep. 14: DOUBLE DINOBOT

Me: Why did Ged's otak have to die? :'(

Paul: Either it's a double date with Waspinator and Spidergirl or Bill from Pokemon is up to his old tricks!

Paul: Who is Ged Otak

Paul: Okay episode 14.

Paul: First words of Moby Dick: "Call me Ishmael."

Paul: First words of episode 14 of Beast Wars: "NUCLEATE THE THERMOCOILS."

Paul: Oh damn mutator beams.

Paul: Megatron is a bit of a mad scientist.

Paul: HE'S CLONED DINOBOT.

Paul: "I'll send in the clone."

Paul: Dinobot has those bad-ass eye-beams.

Paul: Pterrorsaur is dodging like a champ.

Paul: Dinobot's beast mode is so fucked.

Paul: His hips are super low to the ground.

Paul: Rust in peace, old coooomrrraaaade.

Paul: Wow Terrorbird was a boss this episode.

Paul: He's OP.

Paul: Just like Rattrap is a total boss, completely OP.

Paul: hahaha this clone spy sucks.

Paul: He's with Rattrap now.

Paul: And there's no way anybody's pulling anything over on Rattrap.

Paul: Dinobot betrays Ratrap on the same planet where Anakin betrayed Obi-Wan and got his arms cut off.

Paul: Coincidence?

Paul: Optimus will rue the day he left this clone alone.

Paul: This clone sucks.

Paul: The fucking SPACESHIP knows he's fishy!!

Paul: Rattrap surfs and it plays surfing music.

Paul: I swear this has already happened.

Paul: Surfs on the lava.

Paul: Omg this clone is a douche.

Paul: I think the animators have gotten better at matching the faces to the emotions of the botz.

Paul: They’re very cartoony.

Paul: What in the inferno are youu??

Paul: The honorable dinosaurs are having an honorable battle.

Paul: This clone must die.

Paul: So annoying.

Paul: Yes I think it did

Paul: Anyways Dinobot’s eye-beam is now versus Megatron’s Rex-Laser!!

Paul: What the fuck

Paul: What the fucking fuck

Paul: Okay um

Paul: Serious honorable Dinobot ate his clone alive, makes a joke about it, and then burps comically as over-the-top doofus drunk clown music plays.

Paul: All the Maximals are like WHAT.

Me: In a later episode you see his skin hanging on the wall of Dinobot's quarters.

Paul: Hahahahaha holy fucking shit.

EPISODE 15: THE SPARK

Paul: Ep. 15 the Spark.

Paul: Okay so a stasis pod was hit by a meteor in a STUNNING 3D SEQUENCE.

Paul: Tarantino is watching it in his spider cave sex dungeon and cackles, clearly thinking about the next bombshell slut robot he can build.

Paul: But Megatron super creeps on him.

Paul: Rhinox is just um hanging out next to the energon geysers.

Paul: Just chillin

Paul: in Predakhan territory for some reason.

Paul: Okay now like everybody has randomly seen the stasis pod so cool.

Paul: OMG remember when Megatron wanted to clone everybody on his team? Good character moment.

Paul: OF EVIL.

Paul: Suddenly a shot of a hawk. This robot animal will be Tobias!

Paul: By which I mean a hawk. And seeing as hawks are neither dinosaurs nor groaty, I predict a Maximal victory.

Paul: Hahahahaha Scorponok is a loyal man.

Paul: He’s loyal to evil.

Paul: Literally the only one on the show.

Paul: It’s dying noo.

Paul: Taigatan runs like shit.

Paul: Black Spiderlady cyber-venoms Black White Tiger.

Paul: Hahahahahahahahaha

Paul: I fucking love how fucking apple-pie this show is.

Paul: So good-Christian-values, support-our-troops.

Paul: Every Cybertron, Maximal or Predacon, has a Spark.

Paul: Robosoul.

Paul: Cheetar’s fucking face....

Paul: DONT COUNT ON IT, WEB BREATH

Paul: BOUNCING BREAKERS THE BUG IS BACK

Paul: jesus

Paul: Dude okay so Cheetar is bring a total bad-ass this episode.

Paul: Black Widowtron has him on the ropes but he catches her own cybervenom dart and throws it back in her face.

Paul: That was hardcore.

Paul: Also something that makes sense for the YOUNG SPEED character to do.

Paul: Hahahahaha Waspinator the lovable retard appears!

Paul: WHO DARES ATTACK WASPINATOR?

Paul: I’m genuinely digging the stakes here. The whole 2 versus two.

Paul: 1.

Paul: Not two.

Paul: Terrorsaur turned up.

Paul: Hawks animation and voice suck.

Paul: Sexy lady bird??

Paul: WHEN A SPARK GOES ONLINE, THERE IS GREAT JOY.

Paul: Yeah and what if the spark is Adolf Hitler?

Paul: Checkmate, Americans.

Me: This episode invented the concept of the spark, which has featured in every subsequent interaction of Transformers! 

Paul: What is Femhawk’s name?

Me: AIRAZOR.

Paul: Ayer razón.

Paul: Hoy, equivoco.

Me: In the Japanese dub they made her a man and she and Tigatron are gay together.

Paul: Oh dang really?

Paul: Very powerful samurai ideas.

Get in the Fucking Robot, Shinji

Paul: I think that's the first of three still shots that are particularly famous/frustrating.
 
Paul: Spot the other two! They're annoying!
 
Me: Um what else happened?
 
Me: Shinji pilots a Gundam so people will give him compliments.

Me: The Evas were made from the angel they found in Antarctica somehow.

Me: But somehow they're also human.

Me: Did Ganondorf kill Shinji's mom?

Me: Is this supposed to be clear?

Paul: What a wonderful question. No. The director literally said he was anxious so it made everything as unclear as possible.

Me: Given the emphasis they put on Shinji wondering why they're fighting the angels and Asuka saying they're just defending themselves I'm guessing that's not true.

Me: Humans attacked the angels first, the angels are just trying to save their friend!

Paul: Kaji told the truth when he was with his melons ("Though I'd rather be between Misato's melons!"). If an angel touches Lilith, the crucified white blob thing in the basement, the Third Impact will happen. So that's a big deal.

Paul: That's basically what most of the angels have been after the entire time.

Me: Do the angels want to cause the Third Impact though or is it an unintentional side effect of saving their friend who the show insists is Adam?

Paul: The show does insist that, but you'll only see Adam again in the end movie. This show is deliberately obscure and lies about its own lore haha

Paul: I remember this specifically because the show confusing Adam and Lilith on purpose confused the fuck out of me.

Paul: Honestly I don't think that's ever super clear. For the best look at the angels' motivations, probably episode 23 or 24 will talk about that.

Me: I'm sure the inevitable American live-action remake on Netflix will clarify it.

Paul: Big question. I thought this was one of the most interesting ideas in the series.

Paul: Like, I think the shows comes closest to saying what really happened out loud in episode 21.

Paul: If it isn't clear after that, ask me and I'll tell you.

Me: Was the creator inspired by the mythology of The X-Files?

Me: They seem similarly obscure.


* Oh snap, next episode has 6-minute extended runtime and cold opens without the theme song.

* This must be some serious shit.

* Ganondorf's bff is being interrogated by the 2001 obelisks.

* Unit 1 ate an angel's face so it's a god now I guess.

* Does "god" mean something different in Japanese?

* The "gods" in Princess Mononoke were just normal animals.

* Well I guess they could talk.

* I can't believe Ganon killed his wife and stole her last name.

* Seele is totally the Syndicate from The X-Files.

* He was aware that he was still a child.

* Remember when Unit 1 went crazy and ran off into the forest then in the next episode it was back in the geofront again covered in bandages?

* How did they catch it?

* Is Dr. Risotto a lesbian?

* OH.

* Shinji's mom is the Eva.

* She was the other incident they mentioned where someone vanished into the piss.

* Lol is Rei a clone of Shinji's mom?

* Kaje said that the Shrimp Baby is a "sample of Adam."

* But he also thinks that the crucified angel is Adam.

* Is he just an idiot?

* I don't understand what happened.

* Someone from Seele shot Kaje I guess?

* Why was he just hanging around waiting for it?

* The harshness of reality wore down my heart to shattered pieces.

 
* Asuka's mom killed herself and/or went crazy.
 
* Asuka's on her period so she can't fly her Gundam anymore.
 
* Asuka and Rei riding the elevator from Mass Effect.
 
* Lol Suzuhara's still in the hospital.
 
* Suzuhara went back to his home planet.
 
* The angel's primary weapon is playing Handel's Messiah so loud you can hear it from space.
 
* There's only one way to defeat a target in orbit: THE SPEAR OF LONGPENIS.
 
* Penetrate that AT field.
 
* "It was a lie! The Second Impact wasn't caused by contact with an angel!"
 
* I have no idea what's happening.
 
* The spear was impaling crucified angel/supposedly Adam this whole time?
 
* Didn't they show Rei's Eva carrying it around at the end of the episode where it was first mentioned?
 
* I thought it was an angel touching Adam that they thought would cause the Third Impact. Why did Katsuragi think humans touching Adam caused the Second Impact?
 
* Preview: "Next episode, Rei dies!"
 
 
Paul: And so like every time the robot goes crazy it's his mom trying to protect him
 
Paul: from the AT FIELDS.
 
Paul: Where the fuck did they get bandages that size?
 
Paul: THE TRUTH. he wants THE TRUTH.
 
Paul: TRUTH is hard.
 
Paul: Obnoxious scene #2, check.
 
Paul: This is the rape angel. "DON'T RAPE MY MIND."
 
Paul: So stupid I hate that angel.

Me: It's okay Risotto's mom already strangled her when she was a baby, Ganondorf can just clone her again.

Paul: OR DID SHE

Paul: WHAT DROVE HER TO CRAZY

Paul: No problem. Clones upon clones.

Paul: I think the fan theory is that the crazy "spirit" in Eva unit 00 is that child Rei.

Paul: Of all the people to put in your giant clone robot brain!

Me: Ganondorf always wanted a daughter named Rei!

Paul: That's why she tried to kill Dr. Akagi twice.

Paul: Punching the wall.

Paul: Risotto, sorry.

Me: Lol so if that's fan theory I assume it's never explained in canon.

Paul: Enjoy Eva!

Paul: I think they were trying some experiment and it went wrong. Idk, the TV show constantly contradicts its own canon. To get a straight, clear version of the story you have to read the man-gay.

Me: Was it a manga adapted to anime or did they make the manga to promote the anime?

Me: The Spear of Longpenis was preventing White Adam from growing his legs back but just a few episodes ago Ganon was telling Dr. Fukushima "we've sent Rei to retrieve the spear" and then it showed her Eva walking around with it

Me: Did they just stick it in the angel like a month ago for some reason?

Paul: It was a little after the show, after it blew up.

Me: Do-over!

Paul: Yes I think so.

Paul: I liked it better. It actually made sense.

Paul: Anyways you're along for the ride now, enjoy it!

Me: You son of a bitch, why didn't you just have me read the manga?

Paul: Hahahaha

Paul: its nice 2 watch things burn

Me: Since it didn't come up again I assume the childhood trauma that the angel made Asuka relive was her mother trying to kill her and the dialogue that made it sound like she was molested was just a bad coincidence.

Me: I hope they censored that part when it aired on Toonami!

Paul: I wish I could've sent you only the perfect animes and children's cartoons your heart desires. I wish Legend of Korra had been more than a mere sketch of a real show. I wish Evangelion made any sense whatsoever. But I can't. I failed you. 

Paul: It's almost as if TV cartoons are not a medium that traditionally attracts talented storytellers!

Of the Shape of Hearts and Humans

 
* Episode 20 is a PowerPoint slideshow.
 
* Shinji's body has dissolved into the piss and his mind is trapped in a loop of clips from old episodes and naked anime girls without nipples.
 
* I just watched it and I'm trying to remember what else happened.
 
* I don't think anything else happened.

* Oh wait Kaje stuffed a pill into Misato's vagina.

* They're fucking off-camera and she's like "hey what are you trying to put in me" and then her hand comes into frame and puts a small capsule on the nightstand.

* Unless she was talking about his dick and the pill was unrelated.

* What was that pill!!!

* He put a listening device in her pussy.

* It was an image of a glass on a nightstand and the liquid inside was in motion but it was just the one still frame.

Black Rhino

EPISODE 13: DARK DESIGNS

Paul: I have time for one Best Warx.

Paul: Looks like “Saint Picard” is back with peak privilege!

Paul: Ep thirteen.

Paul:: Rhinox is manipulating advanced machinery in his beast mode even though two episodes ago that got us all a big NOOOOOOO.

Paul: The longest firefight in 3d history follows as the Predmen yet again appear out of thin rock

Paul: playing that same damn song.

Paul: Rhinox shoots some rocks down on the baddies and thus they are returned to the rocks from whence they sprung.

Paul: Rhinose is so cool that Megatron has Tarantulus capture him in a net

Paul: and then Megaman shoots him with purple lasers (the rhinoceros screams in pain, reminds me of some anti-poaching videos I've seen) and becomes a Predator!!

Paul: I want to finish this episode but I keep reading that evil fluff piece of Shit Tracks you posted in order to torture me.

Paul: Optimus, have you got a few bugs in your systems directory??

Paul: hahahahaha Rhinox goes totally insane and keeps crushing people and breaking shit.

Paul: The Preds trust him because of course a purple laser would work perfectly.

Paul: idk is there a secret asshole side to him?

Paul: Why can he still betray despite the laser? Maybe it'll be one of those episodes where he just does and nothing is explained.

Paul: Jesus Christ so Rhinox has always been secretly psychopath or something.

Paul: This is awesome.

Paul: He's a juggernaut of destruction.

Paul: A meaningless fight happens and the Pred ship seems to explode but I'm sure it'll be fine in time for next week's episode.

Paul: Rhinox, cured, smells a flower. "Heaven," he sighs.

Paul: "What's being a Predacon like?"

Paul: "Like you're three gigs of attitude on a two-gig hard drive!" I cannot even fathom two-gig hard drive.

Paul: And with that, it looks like “Saint Picard” is back with peak privilege!

Paul: By which I mean Rhinox.
