** 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.
* [[Schedule Slip]]: The manga, and ''how''. The first chapter was released months before the anime started, but the English translation of volume 12 has only just now (as in February 2011) been released. Nearly sixteen years is a '''long''' time for twelve volumes of material, and while new chapters are slowly surfacing, there's no telling how long it will take for the entire thing to wrap up, since Sadamoto has been working on the ''Rebuild'' movies.
* [[Short Lived Big Impact]]: ''Evangelion'' was one of the most influential anime shows of the Giant Mecha Genre, but only lasted one season and 26 episodes.
* [[Shrug of God]]: After fans were upset with the ambiguity of the series, [[Hideaki Anno]] basically declared that it was up to viewers to determine their own meaning and reprimanded them for expecting all the answers on a silver platter. Over the years he has offered, at best, several vague and contradictory statements as to the meaning(s) and intentions of the series.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The [http://wiki.evageeks.org/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion_Proposal proposal] provides various examples.
