00 - Sync Ratios Introduction

Two screenwriters, Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski, sit down to talk about one of the most influential and dissected stories in animation. Sync Ratios is their methodical journey through every single episode of the classic series Neon Genesis Evangelion. This isn't a casual recap; it's a deep, thoughtful analysis from the perspective of professional storytellers who understand structure, character, and thematic weight. Each conversation unpacks the dense symbolism, psychological complexity, and sheer audacity of the show, episode by episode. You'll hear them grapple with the same questions that have haunted audiences for decades, examining the mechanics of the narrative as much as its philosophical and emotional impact. The discussions are detailed, often meandering into fascinating tangents about filmmaking and writing, all rooted in their shared experience as collaborators. This podcast offers a structured yet personal companion to the series, perfect for long-time fans wanting to revisit the depths of Eva with a critical eye or for newcomers brave enough to dive into the deep end alongside them. It’s a thorough excavation of a landmark work, one sync ratio at a time.
