The Time has come, ladies and gents!

The Second Impact has reached Brandon and Doc Isak as they chat about the one and only, Neon Genesis Evangelion. Since its debut back on 1995, Neon Genesis Evangelion has grown to be one of the most popular, yet controversial anime in the genre's history and it is due to its infamy, themes and importance to the medium that we considered Netflix's re-release of the series as the ideal occasion for us to visit this fascinating classic. So, hop into those entry plugs and pilot your EVAs with us as The Amateur Otaku journeys into the maddening halls of Nerv and debate their way through the streets of Tokyo-3!

- Doc Isak and Brandon share their thoughts, insights and disagreements in an exciting discussion on Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Series
