Please tell me Misato isn't telling people to expect the next race to be filled with even more fanservice.

It's good to see that between this and the shaving thing, Eva is getting back in touch with its rich old tradition of having ENDLESSLY BIZARRE merchandise tie-ins! During the production of the first two Rebuilds, they were advertising such normal stuff. Glad they're back to their old craziness.

This cannot possibly compare to the gentlemanly avocation that is the Japan World Cup racing series.

The horse-racing industry is pretty despicable in the US. I wonder if it's the same in Japan...?

Probably worse? I don't know the extent of animal rights and protection in Japan, but I doubt it's as far along.

I've always wanted to ask someone from or living in Japan about animal welfare there. I know they aren't as great as in the US, Canada, or (most of) Europe. Forms of dogfighting are still legal and I get the feeling there isn't much of a spay-and-neutar campaign there. It also seems that pet stores are treated as a go-to place for dogs and cats; I haven't dug deep, but it seems stores get stock from backyard breeders and mills, just like here.

Reminds us of that horse racing simulator arcade game at Dave and Buster's. Laughing

One would think that the Eva rolling along just beyond the track would be enough to scare the heck out of the horses.
