Apparently, he and Anno met at a party and Tomino got angry at him - said
that he would do something to blow EVA away. I don't know how true this
anecdote is, though. ^_^

I'm afraid that as the resident die-hard EVA fan on the list, I must take
objection to this. ^_^ I'll spare you the 12-page essay on why EVA is good
and instead ask - why do you think so? I'm geniuely astonished - most anime
fans LOVE the series. In fact, it's difficult to find someone that dislikes
EVA, or Esca, or Ranma. So what's your take?

How about Escaflowne? Sure, it's not really a mecha show, but it's damn good.
