Happy birthday lad. (said the 24-sai greybeard)

                          Shin Seiki Evangelion:
                            Scenario no Kawari

O_O oro?

"I don't see what the big deal is about Evangelion; to me, it just

seems

like an old giant robot show with a cast of lunatics."

"I guess I'm just an old-fashioned sentimentalist at heart.  I refuse
to accept a no-win scenario.  I hate the thought of a universe without
justice.  If the maneuverings of dark powers can't be exposed and
defeated by the pure of heart, then there's no point in anything.  I
can't believe that."
				-- Benjamin Hutchins, directly quoted.

And we have _motivation_ ladies, gentlemen, and those whom neither
know nor care!

Well, as a "paraphrase-ee", I'd like to say that I've seen the entire TV
series, and I think that the best thing about Evangelion is the opening
title sequence (music and video).

And I still do think that it's just a new version of a giant robot show
that stars a bunch of head cases.  ^_^
