Well, at least it's consistent for Anno. Gainax bounce, anyone?

That GIF should totally include Rei giving Eva-01 head. :beavis:

Sex interests everyone. It's a biological imperative. Saying that sexual themes are "explore(d) from the superficial to the visceral", can be applied to all works of human culture stretching back to time immemorial.

OMG I just saw the sexy GIF. I totally downloaded it and showed over 14,000+ Evangelion fans who hate Rebuild. And I just changed 14,000 minds in a few seconds.

I probably shouldn't point out what this says about Rebuild's fan demographic...

2.0's fanservice is in "good taste" of classic anime tiltillation. Same that's going on in the original work.

No shit Sherlock.


Albeit fanservice doesn't mean one has to fap to it, of course.

There's never any fanservice for gay guys or straight women, though. Bawwwww.

Everything Gainax ever made is about sex.
