Introduction
"Neon Genesis Evangelion (Japanese title: Shin-seiki Evangelion)" is
the brand new anime from GAINAX. The first episode of it was
broadcasted in Tokyo Japan on October 4, 1995.
I've fallen in love with 'Eva' like 'Gunbuster' which GAINAX made many
years ago. Eva is the aggressive animation series of extremely high
quality. NEVER MISS! By all means, you must see it *NOW*. If you like
Eva, you can buy commercial videos/LDs and even send the balance
to GAINAX *LATER*. The most important thing is that GAINAX will
finally get enough money.
I believe that some of you will fall in love with Eva and want to buy
Eva LD Box (even in Japanese) when it releases in the future. I'm very
happy that I can help you to fall in love with Eva and Gainax.

investment came to nothing ......
Member(blue): Things have never turned out yet. If it is useless, it's the
waste.

Misato: Don't you think it's nice, having a meal with others.
Shinji: Ah...... yes.
*Shinji and Misato do JANKEN (the game of 'papar, stone and scissors)
#JANKEN is similar to TOSSING A COIN. JANKEN is a convenient
#and popular way to decide the winner because many people can
#do together and need only their own hands.
#Rule: You can do three kinds of hand's forms, GU, CHOKI, PA.
#GU is 'stone', CHOKI is 'Scissors' and PA is 'paper'. GU can defeat
#CHOKI, CHOKI can defeat PA and PA can defeat GU. Guess the
#reasons. The situation when none can win is called AIKO.
#In this case, Misato who showed GU finally win the game over
#Shinji who showed CHOKI after four AIKO.
Misato: Well. Next, here goes!

at home here.
Shinji: A, a, yes.
Misato: Hey! Yes, yes, yes, yes ...... What a gloomy! You are a boooy,
aren't you? Pull yourself together!
Shinji: Ah ... yes.
Misato: It's OK. Take a bath and wash all the unpleasant things away.

accident?

agreement for making the frozen Unit Zero restart until then.

live, I let them do that.
Ritsuko: Whatever the children think ......

Ritsuko: Maintainance of him is your job, isn't it?
Misato: I'm afraid. I don't know how to get along with him.
Ritsuko: Complaints yet? You declared theatrically that you would take
charge of him, didn't you?
Shut up!
Misato: Then I regarded him as my tool. I'm as the same as Ritsuko.
Although we defeated the ANGEL, ...... I don't seem happy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Shinji lays on the bed.
Shinji: This is an unknown ceiling, too. It's natural ... because I don't
