Since Waypoint has broken the anime seal and that means they're open to anime recommendations I want them to do a watch of Wandering Son.
Well, thank you.That's fair. You're not wrong to be at the very least frustrated with the way people have acted (I'm guilty of being snarky about it as well).
And you're not wrong for wanting a deeper discussion out of them. I just think you could see the checking-out coming from the last set of episodes and I find it personally hard to fault them (primarily Patrick and Rob) for not spending, arguably even more, time to dig around in a piece of media they had lost interest in.
These actually are my feelings. Why pass up perfectly good parallels?
And people have been condescending, outright calling me dumb, and subtweeting me the past couple of pages anyway, lol. Don't act aghast because I was slightly cheeky.
I forget what episode it was, but it was pretty funny when Rob just straight up said "I hate that take" after Patrick had given his reading on a sceneYou see, I can take Rob. He was negative, but he was insightful. I dread everytime Patrick spoke up.
Yeah honestly, they don'r really have to make them this long lol. The pride and prejudice ones were already pushing it, but they sounded like they were mostly having fun so it's good. I will go back to those from time to time. I will never come back to the eva casts again.
And I hate Eva too.
Also never put Patrick onto these kind of discussions again. He's just not good at discussing media.
The sync ratio with Evangelion Unit-S is over 400%.
Dance like you want to win, Evangelion Unit-S.
Think of my feelings on the podcast like this: I spent 20+ hours consuming something that had potential early on, really seemed like it was going somewhere and had some interesting things to say, only for it to devolve into repeating the same negative outlook over and over again with some occasional shouting and spectacle. The fanbase is telling me I should like it, not to dismiss it, and that it actually had deep things to say, but at the end, it all felt very surface level to me. Like they just ran out of motivation, were pressed for time, and it showed in the final product. I wish I could think of something I could relate that feeling to, but i'm coming up blank.
Not ruinous but noticeable. Not a huge deal.Has anyone yet figured out why Cado thinks literally every single thing said by any person ever regarding any topic in the history of humanity is hysterical and warrants cackling like a banshee? It's not my grumpy old ass's place to police people's laughter, but the frequency and volume of it has been ruinous to this podcast IMO
It was funny off-mic, but now that he's on-mic all the time, the volume and pitch can be a little much. I like Cado and he can laugh as much as he likes, but in the context of an audio product -- essentially most of what Waypoint is now -- it's too loud.If they ever change their pod setup so that I can't hear Cado laugh off-mic, something has gone terribly wrong.
He isn't laughing off mic. He's laughing directly into the mic. I think he actually has the mic in his mouth.If they ever change their pod setup so that I can't hear Cado laugh off-mic, something has gone terribly wrong.
I think this sums it up perfectly. People kept saying that this was going to go to deep, dark places, but everything seemed pretty tame all things considered. There were a few neat things here and there, but they constantly squandered any momentum they got going. It's a few cool concepts that they clearly didn't have the capability to execute on in a coherent manner. I can see why they would want to do a reboot with a bigger budget, but even that sounds like it's pretty mediocre.Think of my feelings on the podcast like this: I spent 20+ hours consuming something that had potential early on, really seemed like it was going somewhere and had some interesting things to say, only for it to devolve into repeating the same negative outlook over and over again with some occasional shouting and spectacle.

They could justify Eva to their Vice bosses because it had just come out on Netflix to great fanfare.I haven't heard the EVA podcasts, but the way they were talking about Hideaki Anno ("YOU CAN'T TAKE SHIN GODZILLA AWAY FROM HIM") makes me think they should of done a Waypoints on His and Her Circumstances instead.
I love Eva in a "time capsule of 90's Japanese bubble burst" sort of way, but seeing how people react to it nowadays makes me realize that I probably shouldn't recommend it to people.
Also His and Her Circumstances is super great. Though I haven't seen it in awhile so who knows, lol.
Le sigh....I know that in my heart of hearts, but I miss Be Good and Rewatch it...They could justify Eva to their Vice bosses because it had just come out on Netflix to great fanfare.

For real. Waypoint's copy editing is, to be honest, bad. Like I don't even look for that sort of stuff while I read and there's still multiple blatant examples that jump out in every article I read, especially those rushed to print for a topical subject.I wanna like that Rob piece but the copy is atrocious. Waypoint can't afford editing anymore?
This isn't a sentence: "Built to service the needs of retailers, a newstand's worth of enthusiast magazines, and perhaps to get a modicum of attention from mainstream news and entertainment outlets." I think it's supposed to end with a comma? Also that first comma should be an "and." But then the next sentence hyphenates "set up" for no reason. There's honestly an error every other sentence at least.
Who thought that was ready to print?
