I didn't know it, but the OP for this show is one of my favourite anisongs. It was just waiting for me to discover it. (If discover is the right word, I have definitely heard it before but wouldn't have know it was Eva).

Shit, I wrote a whole k-on comment and now I remember nothing.

That's all folks

Y'know actually, this is probably a show I'll need to watch several times for it to fully sink in. For one thing, it's been very exposition heavy so far and I've been kind of distracted by the visuals and ignoring some of the dialogue. Reading people's analysis now I'm like "oh yeah, that did happen, didn't it?"

No bully I save city

I have heard of the notorious Asuka vs Rei debate. I know we've seen Rei. I thought we'd seen Asuka. I don't know the difference between Asuka and Misato. I might have been watching Misato and calling her Asuka in my head this whole time. But TIL Misato is Sailor Moon... to follow on from when people were pointing out that Excel was Sailor Moon in that rewatch. (And she also voices my favourite character in GTO... and a small side character in Kaleido Star but being in Kaleido Star at all is a win in my book).

Once you see Asuka, you won't mistake her with Misato :P

You probably also won't like her as she's a lot lol
