Fourth Children

Neon Genesis Evangelion: A Commentary is a commentary style podcast examining the 1995 anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Episode 17 features a whole lot of shots of faces. That's right, another "Calm before the storm" episode in which the identity of the fourth child is alluded to without so much subtelty. Toji and Hikari strike up a bit of a romance and Kaji reveals his melons to Shinji.

Topics for this episode:

• A rundown on the episode that features a whole lot of silence, devoid of music and focused on the silence as a character all its own
• A candid moment between Shinji and Kaji in which Kaji reveals his secret garden
• Some background about the first and second branches of Nerv
• A long overdue response to a listener email
• A discussion about fruit, with information drawn from https://www.japanimal.org/living-melons.php
• A musical spotlight on Shiro Sagisu's Waking in the Morning with a short biography on Hideaki Anno's school experience found on the Studio Khara website http://khara.co.jp/hideakianno/personal-biography.html
