Line 8:
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: For Shinji only in the original Japanese. [[Spike Spencer]] voices him in the English dub.
* [[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.cc//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 was "in pre-production" starting 2003 -- and ending with the death of [[ADV Films]] in 2009; nothing has been heard about it since.
** ''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.
* [[DVD Commentary]]: [[The Movie]]s feature commentaries by [[Amanda Winn-Lee]], her husband and Taliesin Jaffe, which are generally [[Love It or Hate It|beloved/despised]] (some have even nicknamed it "Commentary of Evil") for being mostly riffing, with a lot of conjecture about the possible meanings behind the films' abstract symbolism, and details on the process of dubbing the films and remastering the audio. The Platinum Edition of the TV series featured commentaries on several episodes as well, albeit less memorable ones.
* [[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 ''The End of Evangelion''.
