This is a very....odd question to ask. It's like asking whether you like the first or second half of an episode better. I'm guessing the people who answered that they like the second half wouldn't nearly like it so much if there wasn't the set up that was in the first half. Likewise, the people who ...

That's more of a "jab" and more "passive aggressive" than what I said bro (:| Awww sweetie, if you didn't mean to be sarcastic then I apologise for accusing you of it. No hard feelings? Which doesn't make her a sociopath. Specific examples? Especially on the "doll face"...

Yeah, sure, Yui gave Shinji the choice of what to do with the world, and encouraged him to live a real life rather than an escapist fantasy for the lulz.
