[EVA] Gender analysis in the series, vis a vis Asuka and Misato

[Carl Horn]

Entokkun from Kimigabuchi is a really nice guy, and clearly has the  
talent to be a pro, so I'm happy to see this. Anyway, doujinshi are  
one of the places that the manga industry looks to find new talent.  
Both Sadamoto and Anno drew for doujinshi (and kept doing so well  
after they'd turned pro). In the immortal words of Hiroyuki Yamaga, I  
mean, Kubo, in OTAKU NO VIDEO: "Doujinshi?"
