Hey Eva hasn't even died out in Japan

No seriously... a group of 12 Japanese school students came to my school a
month and a bit ago...

I was the one that had to show em around cause I was the only one that spoke
any Japanese... they spoke very little english but more than my Japanese.

Anyway... you may know of the Evangelion Photo file books called Eve and
Adam... Eve containing many pictures of Female Eva characters and Adam
containing pictures of Male characters plus Angels, Eva's and other such
things...

Well I got those 2 books out and they went crazy tell me how much they loved
it... now get this.

8 of these students were female and 4 were male... they were aged 14 - 17.

One of the girls which spoke the least English came over to me because she
had been looking at the book and specifically told me that she loved
Evangelion.

I was suprised that it was still so popular... I guess it is just going to
be a classic all time Anime...
