Anno Says Asuka Is Cute

PRETTY WOMEN Anno names Asuka (above) his favorite EVANGELION character because “She’s cute.” When told that the American audience tended to favor Misato (left), he answers, “I’m surprised. In Japan, the overwhelming favorite is Rei (above left). They can’t handle strong women such as Misato and Asuka.” NOOO REI IS THE BEST CAUSE ANSKDLLALAKA AGAGHSJSKSKSKSKSLL DHDJDKKDLXLXL... Asuka best cause she cute

A scan quotes Hideaki Anno discussing which Evangelion women are popular, saying that Asuka is his favorite because she is cute and that Japanese audiences prefer Rei. Below, an exaggerated fan angrily insists that Rei is the best, while Anno calmly stands by his Asuka preference. The joke is the chaotic waifu argument and the contrast between the fan’s meltdown and Anno’s deadpan opinion.
