Fine.

TOMINO has directed several robot anime, including superrobot
anime ( Zanbotto 3, Daitaan 3 ) that influenced on EVANGELION
so much, and "real" sci-fi mecha anime (Gundam, Ideon, Dunbine,
Xabungle, and L-GAIM) that also influenced on EVANGELION so so so
much.

That's fine to hear somebody influenced by TOMINO (AT LAST !) created
an anime that *CAN* influence him.
