Enjoyed the history segment as I do with every episode of WAC but would it kill you to spend 1 minute giving a summery of what the show is about? Now I have seen Evangelion before but perhaps others haven't. That's a criticism I have of WAC in general. I enjoy discovering new shows (I really want to pick up CyberSix for example) but after hearing the Fooly Cooly episode I still have no idea what it's about. That said I'm surprised no one mentioned the obvious influence composer John Barry had on the soundtrack. The song "Decisive Battle" is a dead ringer for John Barry alternate 007 theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLpciaZzONY
I had no clue the platinum box set of Eva was such a valuable collectors item! I’m really glad I found my set and it wasn’t lost during the transition of college or losing it to friends who borrowed it. I doubt I’ll ever sell the boxset though; I have too many precious memories of 12 year old me being blown away watching the entire series a few days after Christmas.
