Boku No Stop!

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 9-12 of Space Runaway Ideon: "Burning Hyperspace", "Surprise Attack - The Bajin Plan", "In Pursuit - The Ruined Planet", and "Break Through the Enemy Front".

Harulu arrives and character development ensues. Listen to us praise the show's emotional beats in the same stretch where we give constant refrains of "HOW CAN SOMEONE WRITE WOMEN SO BADLY". Plus: there's an entire stretch of madness I leave in solely for the payoff and segue back. You're welcome.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 5-8 of Space Runaway Ideon: "Infinite Power - The Legend of Ide", "White Flag of Betrayal", "Escape Into Hyperspace", and "Duel in the Sandstorm".

The first-timers warm on the show as your humble host continues to insist "guys, there's something here, I swear". Luckily, this is where the show starts to tip its hand and reveal that it's operating on some actual clever writing. Sometimes, that's just how it is on this Buff Earth.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 1-4 of Space Runaway Ideon: "Resurrection of Ideon", "New Lopia in Flames", "The Trembling Earth", and "Escape from Planet Solo".

We're back! A new show means a new introduction to one of the other noted "eccentric visionaries" of mecha anime - Yoshiyuki Tomino, he of Gundam. The show starts slow and the animation is a damn strange sight after some of the peak work of the 90s, but we're in for the long haul when the chaos begins near-instantly.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episode 26' of Neon Genesis Evangelion, "Yours Sincerely/I Need You".

Sometimes I remember that my cohosts have not been doing hours-long marathons of podcasting for years, because I basically had to spearhead this one as everyone else ended up exhausted and/or got almost entirely sliced out of the episode because they were fucking around with a package that had just arrived. From the editing bay, just allow me to say: thanks for coming along with us, and I hope you'll enjoy in a month or so when we kick off Space Runaway Ideon. Stay subscribed to the feed, where I'll be warming it back up with an outtakes episode before we launch.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episode 25' of Neon Genesis Evangelion, "Air/Love is destructive".

It's finally here: The End of Evangelion. Because it's such a meaty morsel to dig into, and because our hosting platform has maximum filesizes (a thing we actually ran into with episode 12!), we've broken it up into a two-parter, breaking at the mid-film credits sequence. However you feel now that we've gotten here, just remember: the fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth.

Except we stopped at the destruction so buckle the fuck up for a downer kids.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 25+26 of Neon Genesis Evangelion, "The World Ending/Do you love me?" and "A Giant Japanese Pun That Is Also A Harlan Ellison Reference*".

This is our shortest episode by a mile because when you lay out what happens here, even with us dicking around, there's absolutely no meat on these bones. It's the series ending with no budget and a bunch of loose ends which wouldn't be answered for a whole year. In the middle of recording an episode that's barely an hour long, one of our three hosts leaves to go play MtG: Arena. This is how little excitement anyone had for this finale.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 23+24 of Neon Genesis Evangelion, "Tears/Rei III" and "The Final Messenger".

As we hit what's effectively the end of Eva TV, our hosts catch Matt up on what the fuck is even happening, point out just how many answers didn't show up in the broadcast release of the series, and talk about Unit 00 truthers. Remember, kids: bakelite can't stop giant robots.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 21+22 of Neon Genesis Evangelion, "The Birth of NERV" and "At least, be human".

This time out we break into the Director's Cut period of the series, a set of four episodes that have been cut, recut, reanimated, chopped, and screwed into anywhere between 3 to 6 cuts of each. We finally get an introspection episode for Asuka and, even more impressively, Fuyutsuki, as we travel back in time with a whole host of characters and, maybe if we're lucky, we can all get what we want: a Pepsi an Angel encounter.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 19+20 of Neon Genesis Evangelion, "A Man's Battle/Introjection" and (ugh) "Form of the Mind, Form of the Man/Weaving a story 2: Oral Stage".

Look, as the one (Fletcher) who writes these notes, and with us now having recorded everything save EoE as I write this: this episode is the most heated we get in the whole series, and most of that is because I fucking hate episode 20. Worst in series for me. That said, I tried to make the argument I dragged us all into listenable and kill the crosstalk. God willing, you enjoy learning way too much about all three hosts this week.
