I'm surprised at how little interest there is in Concrete Revolutio.

I have little interest on it because from the trailer it looks like one of those colorful, loud and stupid shows from the 80s and 90s.

Misato is one of the few characters in the series who doesn't make me want to stab them in the face, so yeah, let's go with her.

(But really, it has to be Pen-Pen.)

You say it like it's a bad thing Laughing

Any lady that can drink me under the table is a winner in my book. Misato it is.

Did KyoAni animate these for Schick? I mean, just look at all that water! And what's Shinji got in his hand and why is he about to eat it?

Those tie-in goods are weird. They should make something better this year because 2015 is the year of Third Impact.

Anyway, my choice is Asuka Langley Soryuu, so I voted for her. She is just the most badass character, the most direct in expressing her emotions, the most honest, the most real. She isn't some weird disposable clone like Rei, she isn't just a commander who doesn't pilot anything or personally do fighting like Misato, she isn't some strange person who loves the smell of LCL and acts like she's a cat like Mari. Asuka's last great battle in End of Evangelion against the entire Eva series is more than enough reason to pick her as the best. And the way Asuka is the one who points out to Rei that she's just a doll, or tells Shinji what a useless wimp he is, she just says what I, the viewer, am thinking. Plus Asuka is also Shinji's favorite too even though she is the meanest to him out of anyone he is interested in.

No love for Mari? She's wild and kinky. And those glasses....

Oh well, I guess I can have her all to myself then.

As for the article itself, I would've added Gintama to it Laughing

Why? What strange tie-in are you thinking of? Not that I doubt it has its share, but some elaboration would be helpful, and probably entertaining.

Though I'm not familiar with many, one of my favorite commercial tie-ins were the Vash the Stampede shampoo ads (Herbal Essence? I forget, can't find the video anymore).

Is anyone here reading One Punch Man? I have no idea what it's about so the hype confuses me.


It's to superheroes what The Venture Bros is to superfriends.

She's S, and he's M.

I wonder what the dub voices of Gendo would think of voicing a Gendo who has shaved since one of his most noticeable features is his beard and mustache

Rei, in case I ever develop a twin fetish. (Or triplet, or dodecatuplet...)

Heck, I think I heard on a YT video of a Spike Spencer panel that even he ships Shinji with Asuka.

Almost makes me want to choose Rei. Spencer is a terrible Shinji.

But Asuka always captured my interest. It's a different interest now that I'm in my thirties, though. Had to take down those posters when I was in college, because it was creepy as f***.

Eva body spray? Oh there's one I never heard of. But Gendo really looks insane over that clean shave.
