That, and the groin shot of Rei and Shinji at the end of EoE...
Try explaining that one to the censor board ("No no no - they're not
*really* having sex, you see. They're "merging" completely together! Get
it?")

>(Im hoping for an uncut version)

Manga has sworn up and down that the release will remain completely
intact. I'm glad to hear it.
The only way I'd see Eva drawing any attention is if someone's parent
oversees one of these sequences in a movie their younger kid(s) bought.
EoE does not follow the flow of the TV series *that* closely, it is
*much* darker than anything in the ADV releases. I don't think anyone
saw the hospital scene coming... (no pun intended)
I'll be interested in seeing how Manga markets it.

Between a 29 year old and a 14 year old? I dunno.

If they follow Anime18's (Central Park Media) method, it'll be the first
title card of the show.
