Hmmm, well, it's been a while since I watched it, so I can't be clear. Well, it was the first anime I saw that dealt with a psychological and mythologic background (Sailor Moon doesn't count as mythologic <.<) I ever saw, and it scarred me deeply. I was a depressed, lonely teenager [wait a damn minute, I still am!], and I identify with Shinji and Asuka a lot. I do suffer from the hedgehog's dilemma.

Who knows, it just obsessed me. And I'm not into mechas, which is ironic.

And Pen Pen is love XD
