Haha! Success!!!
The other day (Saturday), the comp' was more or less out of commission from running programs, so I couldn't watch any animes nicely. Thus, I was bored and (instead of working on my assignments like I SHOULD have) popped the first "Evangelion" DVD into the PS2. Meanwhile, my younger bro was doing some stuff on his laptop on a TV tray to the side of me . . .
Well, about halfway through the first episode, he finished up whatever he was doing, closed the laptop, and layed down on the couch.
That was about when he started commenting a little bit about the show . . .
"That's a big escalator . . ."
"You can't have fluid in your lungs!"
"Nani! They said nani!" (note the slight knowledge of Japanese/anime simply through diffusion via me)
"Why are they making him pilot it even if he doesn't know how?"
After the episode ended, he did a slightly sarcastic, "aw! To be continued!" thingy. Then it was dinner, and then he had to go to hockey . . . . . I think the comp was done with its programs by then.
WELL, after he got back, smelling like hockey (ew), he was watching something in the other room while I did computer stuff . . . . . a couple hours later, I heard the PS2 get turned on . . . then I heard a familiar ad screen . . . . . at that point . . .
"James, I'm watching the second episode if you want . . ."
Haha! I got him to start watching an episode of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" by his own volition!!! UOSH!!!!!
Now, he fell asleep just as the 4th episode ended, but that was enough. His interest had been snagged.
Today/yesterday/Sunday, before, during and after dinner, we watched the 2nd DVD. This time around:
"Pen-Pen! Pen-squared!"
"But they're only 14!"
[watching Misato drink beer . . .] "Oh my god! She's insane!"
"That guy's a nerd . . ."
"Why's he always crying?"
[upon seeing the "fan service" . . .] "Wha-hat?!"
"Fly Me To The Moon is being sung too soft . . ."
But yeah, before the 8th episode, he was like, "okay, that's it!" Then I was like, "but this one's awesome!" Then he's like, "how long is it?" So I'm like, "20-24 minutes?"
Then we watched it. Heh. Take THAT, FOX television!!!
So yeah, I like to think that I'm doing my part for anime over here on the west coast well enough so far, ne?
