| Please tell me Misato isn't telling people to expect the next race to be filled with even more fanservice. |

| It's good to see that between this and the shaving thing, Eva is getting back in touch with its rich old tradition of having ENDLESSLY BIZARRE merchandise tie-ins! During the production of the first two Rebuilds, they were advertising such normal stuff. Glad they're back to their old craziness. |

| This cannot possibly compare to the gentlemanly avocation that is the Japan World Cup racing series. |

| The horse-racing industry is pretty despicable in the US. I wonder if it's the same in Japan...? |

Probably worse? I don't know the extent of animal rights and protection in Japan, but I doubt it's as far along. |

I've always wanted to ask someone from or living in Japan about animal welfare there. I know they aren't as great as in the US, Canada, or (most of) Europe. Forms of dogfighting are still legal and I get the feeling there isn't much of a spay-and-neutar campaign there. It also seems that pet stores are treated as a go-to place for dogs and cats; I haven't dug deep, but it seems stores get stock from backyard breeders and mills, just like here. |

| One would think that the Eva rolling along just beyond the track would be enough to scare the heck out of the horses. |
