| DAY 9 |



| This is Mr. Kadokawa himself, giving a speech at a party for Kadokawa Shoten's Shonen Ace and Newtype magazines. I said hello to Tomino "Gundam" Yoshiyuki, and he shot back with, "An underground-type story like Eva belongs in underground theaters"(!) OO; When I replied that Anno was inspired to do it by watching Gundam, Tomino replied, "Are you trying to say it's my fault, then?" I couldn't bring myself to say "Yes I am" to his face. |
