In the meantime… well, that’s up to you! You could watch all the Pi Day videos from 2014 until now, do another Hades run, go touch grass, or spend some time eating and sleeping (my favorite double major). You could also check out some of the highlights from Isabella ‘24’s YouTube recs, like this, this, or this.

This year’s Pi Day video was inspired by the fact that MIT needs an anime adaptation. We have a mecha-creation facility CSAIL, fire spinners, professors who can fit their entire hand in their mouths… if you think about it, this school’s weird in the best and most cartoonish way. The creators of this video also enjoy Neon Genesis Evangelion,⁠01 an anime about giant robots fighting giant aliens but that’s just the tip of the iceberg; see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fShlVhCfHig like a nontrivial portion of MIT students they’ve met. Putting two and two together, we have a Neon Genesis Evangelion-themed anime opening for this year’s Pi Day video!
