It's insane how much imagery Anno re-used from Nadia in Evangelion, especially the motorized walkways, ancient giants, Central Dogma and the Eva graveyards

[Loved Trope] When you can tell the Creators are military nerds due to unecessarily detailed military equipment, especially in media that isn't directly military-related

villager news by elemental animation: in the war short they did, they modeled an uncessarily detailed villager-M777 Howitzer with realistic recoil and muzzel flash, it's crazy how close it is.

Evangelion is a more obvious case, chock-full of extremely accurate military equipment from fighter jets to warships to even more obscure soviet projects like erkanoplans.

Oh man, if evangelion was actually made as a Nadia sequel, Jean might have become a Gendo-like figure after losing Nadia to some esoteric Atlantean science....

OMG, even the "congratulations/Omedetō" scene came from Nadia (one of the creator's previous works), and it's to Nadia (who Shinji was based off of)

I always loved how the Zerg get the most Respect from their own franchise, treated as a peer (or Superior) to the other factions, while most other Space-Bugs are relegated to a punching bag.

Aside it from being rare in general, I find it funny how many feel uncomfortable even entertaining the idea of Soviet-occupied Japan Alt-History scenarioes. like it scares them more than the Atomic Bombs.

Most people have honestly forgotten about the Abyss Order, they've been no-shows for nearly 1.5 patches, but I feel like they're going to be key

I've come to dislike the "strong and interesting woman paired with a lame guy" trope, and wish people had the courage to make a strong/hot girl AND guy couples.

Yeah, the endless "strong dommy mommy girl that is somehow paired with a loser unremkarable, guy" starts to get annoying. It's dishonest and comes off as someone trying to insert themselves without having the decency to idealize themselves.

I wish people more people could appreciate couples where both the guy and girl are both remarkable, powerful, capable, and beautiful.
