Thanks a lot for this! A very interesting read, if not a little biased. I 
thoroughly enjoyed the first few parts about the inciteful production of 
Evagelion, but really started to balk when the critcism of Anno, fans and 
pretty much anything came full circle.

I mean, it's fine to critcise Anno for his actions during the production of 
Evangelion (we all know that he's not the most perfect of beings, which is 
what makes him such an interesting director), but it eventually seemed to 
become "business as usual", making his opinions seem less objective and less 
useful.

I'd love someone to incorporate the facts from this document and attempt to 
write some kind of definitive history to EVA (although, as I've heard 
EvaMonkey is already in the process of doing that via a new book) for 
everyone.
