I know some stuff about comics, animation, tabletop gaming, and obscure words; I also know some stuff about human developmental psychology and theology, but who cares about that?

Toei Spider-Man had a giant robot before Super Sentai (Power Rangers) did; it was actually pretty innovative for the genre.

more or less my understanding, sans "twisted"; RR Martin contributed mostly to the setting's from before the shattering. He also named shit.

Premise and themes take precedent. Literature is an art form, not a technical treatise; disrespect the engineers all you want.

Warframe is the wet dream of the sort of completionist who plays video games to collect stuff.

The least derivative thing about EVA is the fact that it's stylistically inspired by Kaijuu shows like Ultraman instead of Mazinger Z.

Also, if you've never seen Gunbuster, it is absolutely required viewing for anyone who's ever enjoyed a mecha anime.

People really seem to misunderstand the last scene of 2. It was Third Impact, guys.

3.0 was is my favorite of the rebuild series because it actually did new things.

Personally, I enjoyed the show well enough because it has really slick robot and monster designs and a well-written cast. Rebuild's better.

Fans genuinely think it's deep because none of them have a grounding in the Japanese cultural miasma that informs almost everything in there
