>>2156767> then what he says DOES matter, especially if it suggests the exact opposite.Anno put some of his own personality on Rei too, like the fact than they don't eat meat. But serioulsy talking, I think Anno hates both Rei and Asuka. Most asukfags think that too, as far as I see. Yeah, I know, he said in an interview a long time ago than he likes Asuka, but that was due to Yuko Miyamura. He hates not due to the character, but due to what they became.
