Saw this in my news feed this morning. Apparently Anno is starring in a new TV spot in Japan for Honda. Video is linked in the article below.

Voted in college to be Most likely to Take Over the World, how to do that however, will require at least Four Evangelions. Thanks for the idea Misato-san!

The commercial aired back in July, it doesn't look like there was anything new in the Kotaku article. The original tweet:

Well, Evangelion is clearly inspired by a Honda, so it makes sense :wink:

Is that a pun on Ishiro Honda? And should I be upset by that pun?
