Isn't that the point: that Eva is *adult* anime, in a way that SM, DBZ and 
all the rest are not.  We in Australia have been luck enough to have Eva 
broadcast some time ago.  It was on the SBS, the multicultural/arts/soft porn 
channel, in an adult time slot .  The kid's anime all go to kid's time slots 
on commercial channels, and, as they are dubs for American broadcast TV, they 
are usually cut to shreds.  Complaints about the Eva dub aside, it appears to 
have been fairly true to the original text, at least.
