I think I have that on tape somewhere--the question, that is.  
Considering all the stories that had been flying about, it wasn't  
such an unusual question. Even Mr. Yamaga said that people might get  
that impression from some of Anno's statements to the media. Ten  
years later, I imagine Yamaga-san is going to be deluged with  
questions about the new Eva at Fanime. Who knows? Perhaps he'll be  
bringing something to show us.
