Line 5:
* [[Defictionalization]]: Operation Yashima, the plan to reroute all of Japan's electricity into a single sniper rifle to take down an Angel, was the name given to a [[Twitter]] campaign to support Tokyo Electric's plan [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-03-12/evangelion-inspires-real-operation-yashima-after-quake to conserve electricity after the 2011 disasters].
* [[Development Hell]]: It's largely forgotten by now, but ''The End of Evangelion'' was in this for a brief period, which is why so many Japanese viewers who went to see ''Death and Rebirth'' were pissed off at the [[Cut Short|sudden cut-off]] of an ending. There's also the live-action movie (a co-production between [[Studio Gainax|GAINAX]], ADV and [[WETA]]), which has allegedly been "in pre-production" since 2003. ''Rebuild of Evangelion'' also counts; ''2.0'' was delayed a full year after its original release date, and ''3.0'''s is around three years after 2.0's. Keep in mind that the tetralogy was supposed to be ''finished'' by now.
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: Yuko Miyamura allowed herself to be strangled by Megumi Ogata in the recording room during Shinji's vision of strangling Asuka in ''End of Evangelion.''
* [[Executive Meddling]]:
** One of many theories regarding how the final episodes came to be as [[Gainax Ending|notoriously bizarre]] as they are is that the original scripts for the last two episodes were rejected by the network due to their [[Family-Unfriendly Violence|graphic content]]; thus the current ending was made due to last-minute budget cuts and/or as a way of giving the network the finger, and the rejected scripts eventually became ''The End of Evangelion''.
