Ho boy, proof that I'm obsessed....
I just bought the last five volumes of Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days. Yeah, the manga set in what Carl Horn called "the doujin universe", ie. that little segment of Episode 26. I know, I know, it's somewhat derided by hardcore fans (the "Lutherans" of the fandom, it would seem, to riff from the "Christianity as fandom" animated icon). But for what it is, it's just *cute* and that's what it was intended to be. I have to admit to liking the doujin universe: God knows Shinji could stand to have some semblance of normalcy to balance out the weight that life has tossed onto his skinny little shoulders (And yep, I am a proud Shinji Ikari fan: anyone who calls the poor kid "emo" should try carrying the weight of woes that *he's* got. Seeing your mother disappear during a lab experiment when you were only three, being emotionally abandoned by your father and getting packed off to live with a succession of estranged relatives and teachers, then being goaded by him into piloting a 40 to 200 meter tall cyborg robot that is linked to your mind, *AND* being expected to fight weird looking giant creatures is not going to make you a happy camper. To say nothing of having to share living space with a girl who's so self-centered and aggressive she borders on being a psychotic narcissist. No wonder the kid is screwed up emotionally).
Also trying to come up with a good first name for the Nephillim who's one of the main characters in Part III of "Neon Enoch Evangelion", which is now set about fifteen years post-End of Evangelion. I know his personality very well (and he occasionally likes to peek into my head to see what I'm doing: I told myself I wasn't going to let any Eva-verse characters visit my headspace, especially if they were post-Third Impact, but I guess I can make an exception since he was born after 3I): he's cheerful, friendly, a bit mischievous, a bit of a geek, hyperactive and a definite big eater, which causes his father to quote the line in the Book of Enoch about the Nephillim consuming the plants and the animals, or make references to a Dirac Sea.
