== Trivia Tropes ==

** Rei's voice actresses all invoke this. Her Japanese VA [[Megumi Hayashibara]] is famous for her roles as [[The Slayers|Lina Inverse]] and [[Ranma ½|the female Ranma]]. Her original English VA [[Amanda Winn-Lee]] is well-known for her roles as [[Burn Up|Rio Kinezono]] and [[Read or Die|Miss Deep]]. Finally, her English VA for the ''Rebuild of Evangelion'' series, [[Brina Palencia]], made her mark in anime as [[Genesis of Aquarion|Silvia de Alicia]] and [[Romeo X Juliet|Juliet Capulet]].

** For Mari's Japanese VA, Maaya Sakamoto's not always put in an [[Ax Crazy]] role, and considering that Maaya's debut role is [[Vision of Escaflowne|Hitomi Kanzaki]], it is jarring enough.

** There's also the manga. We have several [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] moments, Kaworu killing a kitten, Shinji saying emphatically "Guys don't like guys!", Shinji and Kaworu's relationship downgraded to an unrequited [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]], Kaworu calling Rei a fool and saying "I figured you'd be a heftier girl.", Shinji and Kaworu in the ladies' room with Asuka... Yeah.

* [[Running the Asylum]]: ''[[Ikari Shinji Raising Project]]'', like most of the show's spinoff products, is quite obviously done by a [[Promoted Fanboy]], is entirely powered by [[Mythology Gag]] and [[Fan Service]], and is incredibly [[Doujinshi]]-esque. The same could be said about the ''Angelic Days'' manga. Not that we complain; [[Cash Cow Franchise|it's Eva characters, so we'll buy it]].
