 since Anno was NOT involved, and Evangelion is Anno's story.  It is just a
 pleasant diversion made by Gainax to satisfy Eva fans who wanted a
 shallower, more shoujo-stype Eva story.
 The fact that it ties in with the storyline means nothing except that it
 uses the same characters and setting (background), and the creators tried
 to make it appear as "legitimate" as possible to give fans the impression
 that they are playing a game in the atmosphere of the actual series.
 
 It is NOT canon.

I don't see why it matters whether or not Anno was involved. Yeah.. it was 
his story.. but it was GAiNAX who owned it and put it into an animation. Anno 
obviously gave them consent so therefore.. it was alright by him. I also 
don't see how it is shojo since in fact there are a lot of things that are 
similar in the series inside of the game (Shinji thinking and contemplating 
to himself etc.) So..
