Shinji gets a boyfriend, but the funtime yaoi hour ends all too quickly as a bunch of stuff happens and we kind of understand most of it. Also, this was recorded wayy back in early November, so references to current events that have now been ignored and or forgotten should just be par for the course at this point as our own world hurtles tow...
