‘Evangelion’ is coming to Netflix in 2019 in case you want to be an emo kid again!

Netflix has announced that Evangelion is going to be coming to the streaming service in 2019. This news would have made thirteen year-old me very, very happy. But, what about thirty-five year-old me? I’m good. I don’t really need to indulge in some overly pretentious, emo anime. I’m tortured by the big questions enough while I’m trying to sleep at this point, you know? That said, if you’re stoked, I’m glad you’re stoked!
