[EVA] Gainax, Eva, Nadia and Orphans

[George Chen]

Actually not just Japanese Anime. Single parents or even lack off show up in
a lot of Disney's stuff. Remebe in Toy Story? There's no dad in the story.
^-^

Hate to bring this up....but Lion King, Bambiee all got single parent. I
think it's just a usual plot stuff....

Regards.
