Evangelion Short: Asuka Takes Center Stage in Anniversary Release

So, another 'Evangelion' thing. Just what the world needed, right? Apparently, to celebrate the big 3-0, they decided to grace us with a short focusing on Asuka. Because, of course, it's always about Asuka, isn't it? You'd think after all these years, there'd be something *new* to explore, but here we are, revisiting familiar faces.

This particular short, which apparently premiered at some festival that sounds vaguely important, is now available for public consumption. I'm sure the die-hard fans are practically hyperventilating with excitement. For the rest of us? Well, it’s another piece of the 'Evangelion' puzzle, and you know how I feel about those by now. Don't expect me to suddenly have an epiphany about the human condition because Asuka throws a tantrum in HD.

Still, I suppose there’s a certain… tenacity to this franchise. Even after all this time, they can still pull an audience. And for those who are perpetually enamored with the melodrama and the… *unique* character dynamics of 'Evangelion,' this is probably a gift. Just don't ask me to analyze its deeper meaning. I've got better things to do, like… well, not watch this.
