>>2962654Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, it literally says in the OP that Anno and Sadomoto were inspired by the doujin author during the episodic run that they made the "Directors Cut" DVD/BD with extended scenes which clarified major points in Asuka's character.
Read it, it would be too elaborate a story to be made fake. Its also a fact that he interviewed many fujoshi doujin artists back then, in fact one of them is his wife. I rest my case.
