Holy Crap!
From Slashdot -
If Ender's Game were to be made as an anime, would
Ender turn out looking a lot like Ikari Shinji?
Shinji, we recall, has been manipulated by his parents, by the government, by
the Marduk Institute and by NERV, all in the cause of a vast secret project. He
attends a school full of kids who are in the same position as he; all of them
have been similarly manipulated, all are on Marduk's list, all are candidates
for Evangelion pilots. Shinji has great difficulty relating meaningfully to any
of them. He fights, reluctantly, causes enormous damage through little or no
fault of his own, hospitalises one classmate, kills another, and gets some
severe psychological problems as a result. Finally, some extremely weird shit
goes down and an entire species turns into yellow goo.
I'm quite sure that Shinji, Asuka and Rei would fit right in in Ender's
world.
Yes, yes they would.
