Episode 6

Everyone's Reactions

Since it airs on Wednesday, right in line with Evangelion's original broadcast day, it hits you with a wave of nostalgia. You can totally see why people are calling this an "Evangelion finale" moment—just look at how hyped things get by Episode 6! Everyone jumping around, sub-space tackles, and those moments that make you yell "Don't pull back!" keep the tension high, leaving us on the edge of our seats. When people joke about it being too much like Attack on Titan, the show fires back with "That's literally its defense wall," making for some great genre-crossing laughs. The post featuring the brown-haired character cosplaying as a guard, who then helps Hanon-chan, easily deserves its 324 likes—it’s such a lovely photo. The voice actor for Aqua the adventurer wrote, "Lona... she's the strongest, you know," and that tweet with the bicycle emoji just made me even more excited for next week. I get the "maybe we only need her" vibe too; considering the World's Strongest Witch's destructive power, everyone else is basically support. If permanent weekly raids were a real thing, I can totally imagine how exhausting it’d be. The storyboard and direction staff member mentioned they had so much fun working on this episode, so I can’t wait to see what explosive developments come next!
