You can fix Wikipedia, you know.

P.S. Why do you keep on calling it Leaky?

I fixed it, and added a refernce to http://www.tesuji.org/eoe_death_threats.txt. Someone is bound to revert it sooner or later...

ATTENTION: WHINING ABOUT WIKIPEDIA IS NOT COOL OR HIP OR "EDGY", IF YOU'RE GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE WAY THAT SITE IT'S RUN AT LEAST BE FUNNY LIKE ENCYCLOPEDIA DRAMATICA.

Uncyclopedia is much better

Fail.

There is very likely some truth to the idea Evangelion was something of a "trojan horse," whose content turned out to be shocking for broadcast television. Of course, had it not been on broadcast TV, it seems less likely it would have captured the imagination of the larger public as it did. Anime has never quite developed itself to a non-otaku adult demographic in Japan the way manga has. If you're, say, 46 years old (Hideaki Anno's age) in Japan and you're not an otaku, you can still find several dozen contemporary manga series that will speak to your interests and demographic. They're represented in such magazines as Kodansha's Morning and Shogakukan's Big Comic. But anime has only a few TV shows that might interest the 46 year-old non-otaku, and this is arguably a major failure of the medium.
