When female teenage characters that look like teenage characters get described as lolis, you know the downward spiral of labelling everything as GAR, moe or loli has gone too far. Way, way too far. No it hasen't! Moe is extreamly popular in Japan, and besides Evangelion has some of the most earliest moe scenes in anime history! Moe has been around for a long time, its not like its a new thing... hell even some people in Japan say moe to say something is cute, and including the regular people that don't watch anime!

Nice. You called them lolis, I pointed out they're not, then went on to generalize the current state of anime fandom, and you brought my generalization back and improperly applied it to a specific series, as well as going completely off-topic on a separate word, meanwhile ignoring my actual point of your misuse of the word loli. Good job.

lolis? I believe your the one not understanding what your talking about... I was talking about moe~ which is a completely different thing... believe it or not Evangelion has some extremely moe~ characters and I'm not saying its a bad thing either, hell I'm all for moe~ If your talking about the first post I made then just say it... but really if you look back on the DVDs Asuka is drawn in several loli moments, and that was done FOR A REASON

Anyway I doubt otaku are worried about anyone seeing these underwear especially a girl
I'm surprised Japan hasn't made them the scape goats for their population crisis.

Slightly more clever than I thought, but still... sometimes I wonder why no other series with actual artistic merit has to suffer this kind of absurd over-merchandising.
