I'm not sure if I should be creeped out or amused by all this.

In other, completely unrelated news, I have recently noticed that no character seems to feature more prominently on the covers of Evangelion box sets than Ibuki Maya. I find it rather odd that a relatively minor character would be getting so much love. I also notice this in official artwork, where, although not as extreme as the DVD example, she is often featured alongside the "core 7" (Shinji, Misato, Rei, Asuka, Gendo, Ritsuko, and Kaworu) despite the non-appearance of her colleagues Hyuga Makoto and Aoba Shigeru, let alone Kenskue, Hikari, and Toji, who really are more important characters overall than any of the three bridge bunnies.
I'm so confused.
