We don't tend to use that one, though.  Most of us in the West use the
Hepburn system (often slightly modified).  So we write "Shinji",
whereas the Japanese government's official scheme (which follows the
original Japanese the closest) writes "Sinzi".

Well, "Eva Mass Production Models" is much more sensible than "Eva
Mass Productions".
