Who worked on Episode 24?
Anno: A person named Satsukawa (Akio)-san did that. Satsukawa-san is better atthis is bad to say, buthes right on the mark when it comes to homoeroticism. *laugh*
Did you stop Satsukawa-san when it looked like he was going to go berserk, Director Anno?
Anno: No, nothing like that. Satsukawa-sans atmosphere remains in the script. Satsukawa-sans original script had more of that sort of meaning and was JUNE-like.
For example?
Anno: Im the one who went and set it in the bath, though. In the original script, the two of them were swimming naked in a river. *laugh*
In broad daylight?
Anno: It mightve been at night.
At night, while showering in the moonlight?
Anno: I dont know. There was a beautiful picture of the two of them swimming in the river.
The version of the ending, FLY ME TO THE MOON, with two boys *laughs*.
Anno: The staff told me that No, they really cant do it *laugh*.
Were there other scenes like that?
Satō: Hmm, he had a cello, right? Together
Ill play the piano, so you play the cello! he said. At night, in a classroom, Kaworu went first, and he was playing; when Shinji softly peeked in on him, Can you do something, too? Next time, lets do it together. It had that sort of feeling. Ill sing a little, so
Anno: Thats right, thats right. There was a scene in a music room after an evacuation, when no one was there.
