Re: Shinji is a XTC fan?!
This necro revival causes me to comment to an older post than I ever have before, I think...

What does the comment say, for those of not so merchandistically blessed?

I've no idea - I can't read the hieroglyphs.

Re: Shinji is a XTC fan?!
On a side note, is it just me, or does Shinji's design seem akin to a more fleshed out design of a character from FLCL?

Well, he's 14 against Naota's 12. But Naota does a line in sulky expressions which Shinji can't equal.

Re: Shinji is a XTC fan?!
And after mucking about on the translation interwebs I have discovered that the comment reads:
SPOILER: Show
"rear view drawing"
5 minutes on wikipedia though suggests - as chocky, god bless 'em, noted all those years ago - it is very definitely the XTC band logo that appears on their earliest albums.
But it appears most specifically to resemble the logo as it appears on the album Drums and Wires whose lead single is...Making Plans for Nigel!
So whoever put it on Shinji's page on the wiki way back in 2008 is probably right!

Re: Shinji is a XTC fan?!
The scribbling below the XTC logo reads "back graphic". (Or "graphic on back".)

Re: Shinji is a XTC fan?!
Probably? If it's just the title of the little drawing itself - unless it's some really idiomatic expression - unfortunately it doesn't look like it'll tell us what XTC is doing in Evangelion.

Re: Shinji is a XTC fan?!
Well, I had little hope of that, to be honest. The explanation put into the wiki by UrsusArctos is probably as good as we'll get unless someone asks Sadamoto and gets an answer.

Re: Shinji is a XTC fan?!
Soryu: Settei like this are a guide for the animators, NOT fan-directed goodies. Any notes on them are pretty much exclusively for the purposes of proper form, continuity, and so on. A plain, straight-on drawing of any graphical detail -- like logos on clothes or mecha armor -- is provided as a base so the animator consulting the settei sheet can properly draw distortions (as from perspective, wrinkles, and so on).
Not "probably", either -- that's really basic Japanese and I can understand it on sight.

Re: Shinji is a XTC fan?!
Cool.
I just realized, didn't Sadamoto do an album cover for Eric Clapton? We know more of what British prog rock thinks of his work than what he thinks of theirs...

^ You're right http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2 ... bum-jacket
Pretty damn good covers I must admit (Even if Pilgrim doesn't fall in line with what Clapton is capable of, but then again, this is a topic for XTC).

Re: Shinji is a XTC fan?!
