(The weakness of Shinji, the brashness of Asuka, and other similar examples are strung across the screen with a regularity it's comical?) Sure, I can see some of the traits happening to apply to otaku-ism, but I don't think there's any direct correlation. I suppose all this to say that I simply agree with you rather strongly. I'd never really heard of people pointing to Evangelion in this particular form, and I wanted to reinforce that.
