I don't think she'll get her thing as long as Asuka is around and Mari works as her extension.
I didn't feel like arguing over everything but that's just production and ideas for gay mains were lingering in the tv show only to be quickly dealt with, then again I get it mari cannibalizes on the existing stuff because everything is already fleshed out: Kaji lines, glasses motif, Asuka roles, stuff, likely later gay things kaworu is not needed anymore for.
The ballsy move of introducing a game changing character later wasn't really for the story mostly shared with nge, Q and final Idk Asuka is still busy setting a stage for Mari.

Regarding RahXephon, I don't understand why it copying Evangelion is a controversial opinion. I thought this was generally the accepted opinion. Whether the argument has merit is an entirely different subject, which I won't rehash again for everyone's sake.
Awesomely Shitty

-On EMF, as a thread becomes longer, the likelihood that fem-Kaworu will be mentioned increases exponentially.
-the only English language novel actually being developed in parallel to its Japanese version involving a pan-human Soviet in a galactic struggle to survive and to export the communist utopia/revolution to all the down trodden alien class and race- one of the premise being that Khrushchev remains and has abandoned Lysenko stupidity

Quite common; but not, I think "generally accepted".

That's my view of it too.

I saw 3 episodes of Himouto! Umaru-chan and I am convinced that slice of life anime is now dead. I'm not saying Miyazaki is always right, but there is no hope for anime that involves characters being obnoxiously cute.
That said, I also think The Devil is a Part-Timer! is propaganda for NEETs in Japan to work and eventually move out of their parent's house.

That some anime titles are covert public service announcements is without question (see also "I can't understand what my husband is saying"). Some are even blatant about it like the "SexEd for 30-somethings" title of a few years back.

Just noticed. B/
Huh, so the similarities I sensed between M3: the Dark Metal, and Anohana probably weren't incidental. Mari Okada wrote both of them apparently.
There's also visual tie-ins, both series seem to like putting their cast by a bridge, and both have a central figure in the form of a ephemeral girl in a white dress.
No, that *isn't* an endorsement to watch M3. Do so only if you like Mecha, are somewhat bored, and are prepared to be "meh" by the ending. Wait a minute... Anohana's ending was my only beef with that show... OKADA! WHY U NO GOOD AT THIS?!?
