The core concept is there, but what irks me about this scene (and how the EVAs have been handled in Rebuild in general) is that (TV SPOILERS)
we are quick to forget the Evangelions are literally humans trapped in Angel bodies. They act like normal humans would for the most part, even when they go berserk* --or at the very least they revert back to their most primal maternal instincts. This is why depicting them as anything but human-like is jarring in their depiction. These giant biomecha are actual characters in themselves.
*I always argued that Yui's consumption of Zeruel's S2 Engine in episode 19 was a conscious choice from her part, as she is certainly aware of the intricacies of the Human Instrumentality Project right from the very beginning. She's a bit messy about it, I will admit!

oh man, the first time I watched this episode as a teenager, I was freaking out crying through the entire scene. Still my favorite episode of Evangelion.

He's an equal opportunity beater. And I'm not seeing negatives in your statement.

Managed to resist reading any Date A Live episode 7+ (i.e. Kurumi) impressions so far, which is taking an incredible amount of willpower. Fortunately I have a lot of self control and discipli--

Oh yeah, you mentioned before you're a Tetris fan right?
Yeah, I was basically just saying that there's no reason to have to relate or self insert yourself into the shoes of the character you're playing in a video game or in a show you're watching to actually like the character or get any enjoyment out of the title.

Strike Witches.
You are talking about Laboon?
He will get mentioned again, but it takes a long time from where you are.
Full Metal Panic's team kinda counts when you look at Sousuke's side of things. Melissa Mao is a Chinese-American (of the Hong Kong variety), Kurz Weber is German, Sousuke Sagara is Japanese raised in the Middle East, Teresa Testarossa is American, Richard Mardukas is British, Belfangen Closeau is Canadian and Andrei Kalinin is Russian.
So everyone in that half of the show isn't Japanese except Sousuke. Granted they're all Not Too Foreign at the same time, since Tessa's father was stationed in Japan when she was little, and Kurz lived their for awhile and has a better grasp on Japanese history than Sousuke. The irony is that the only Japanese crew member of the TDD-1 has a harder time blending in in Japan than his comrades.

Another great episode, but damn it why does
I knew
Anyway, the action scenes were great and I got to hear Noriko roar again.

Kazumi have to be in love with Coach?! He's alright and all but where's my GL? Even coach was pushing for it, stating to Noriko "alone, you're just a flame... but with Kazumi, you're an inferno." BRING ME THE HEAT DAMMIT!!
he was going to survive too, tch.

Yoshinoya, why are you stimulating!?
Umm anywho, I see the air packet thing introduced last time was brought back up along with the leaky roofs, and the crisis was narrowly avoided (unintentionally). I wonder if the air packets will continue as a recurring gag.
I have found a dude in here, this should not have happened, but he's not harem material, so whatever.

Laboon plays a pretty important role much later. And I do mean MUCH later. However,
we don't actually see him again in the present (unless they showed him for a few seconds among some world reactions, I don't remember if they did).
As expected, those IMDB credits for Pacific Rim that had special thanks to some famous anime directors were false.
Its one of the very best series in recent memory.
It was yesterday but better late than never <3

Equally lazy is having a single non-white character whose is defined by their 'otherness' and who becomes a figure of fascination e.g. like whats her name in Tamako Market.

Well, pretty much, but it's worth highlighting from time to time.

I haven't ignored this comment, I plan to reply to it but I don't currently have the time to do so to a level that I would consider satisfactory.

But she also did fortunetelling by looking up at a bird's anus, of course people would be fascinated with her.

Truly a progressive masterpiece, the flying PANTSU future is a tolerant future. Also can anyone explain to me the value in having the Japanese person save the day? It seems to me that a diverse cast on its own is pretty damn good.

A new open question is required: who's the best "christmas cake" character in anime?
You know, I just had a thought about a few of the rather fantastical shows that are currently airing this season. I don't mean to start a serious discussion, it just occurs me to that all these shows:
despite the fact that they're set in the future or in some other fantasy setting completely fail to have any black cast members. I don't mean to imply that these shows are racist or anything, rather that it's not even a consideration on the part of the creators.
Well, in Attack on Titan 6
it's implied that most minorities have been absorbed into the greater white population, which is why Mikasa being half-Asian makes her valuable to, er, slave traders.
Meme Touwa.
Now this is my kinda poll.
On the other hand, I suppose it's only fair with Americans saving the day across the world in Hollywood films.

It's actually set in a pseudo-WWII past.
Well I mean come on, its not like we could ever reasonably expect Quebecoi to save the world or something.
