abuseNot a huge fan of the AU stories, but I got to say that I liked your previous works and decided to give it a shot. To my delight, it's pretty good! I'm not going to ask you to rush on updating, as a matter of fact take your time to craft it, but please try to do it within the next few months.

abuseHaha, good stuff. The last chapter got pretty silly, compared to the earlier chapters, however I rather like both the serious and the silly versions. Personally, though, I was kind of hoping to indulge my ShinjiRei fetish a bit more :-)

Keep it up. And PLEASE, don't wait another 10 years before the next update!

I was considering doing a fic like this a few months ago, and I have done an original fic in the same vein a few years ago; neither comes close to this.

abusePretty good thus far. Personally, I'm hoping for a Shinji-Rei-Misato love triangle :-)

Oh, btw: Lolita complex is a term that only applies when the object of affection is a young girl. When it's a young guy, it's termed (in Japan at least) a "shoto complex". Just a minor technical point; probably nobody cares about the terminology that much, but Ritsuko wouldn't make that mistake, and probably neither would Fuyutsuki

abuseI'm thrilled to see that you've updated this fic after so many years. But there is a shift in style that I don't like. In a way the Hikari, Touji, Kensuke stuff reads if it could be in a side story or just a random bit of omake.

Maybe it is simply because it's been so long since you've written, and maybe you should consider (heaven forbid) starting a new story to oil those unused reflexes.

Regardless I hope that you continue updating.

abuseDear Kalus,

I read this story ages ago when it was first started in 02...jesus 5 years ago...5 years you've been working on this.
Anyway, I read chapter 4 again before reading chapter 5 and the differences are subtle but there. The meta humor in number 4 was much more light, and while I like it in both, number 4 also carried with it a heavy amount of story and tension within it, almost totally there is no response from Rei, yet anyway, about Shinji attending an Asuka concert. And as I remember it in the 4th, Rei was so dead set on practicing so much because she didn't want to be over taken by Asuka...Shinji going over there would almost seem like treason.


I know when I say all that I'm basing it on my own impressions of the story but those are mine.


I think you should concentrate less meta humor and more story content, other than that you've got a quality fiction here.

abuseMeta-humor is always a bit risky. Thanks for the update, good to see you back.

abuseWow! I get home from my the mall, and I find that this has been updated! A nice ending to a nice day.

I'll admit... this is still some of the better work on the site. But it seems to be lacking something... A lot of the time, I couldn't understand what was going on. In a way, I was reminded of MidnightCereal's work. Confusing, a lot of brilliant simile's, and sarcastic humor.

But this seemed to be made up of a lot of dialogue. From what I read, there wasn't much detail, nor actions.

I must say though... Kensuke, Toji, and Hikari starting a riot... an idea for the epics, good writer.

It did take you a long time to update this. And I'm unbelievably grateful to you for taking the time to update. After such a long period of time, it must be hard, no? But just a thought... maybe you could clean it up a bit? Make it more readable?

Anyway, as I said, immensely grateful that you updated, and I would definitely like to see more^^

abuseFirst of all, ignore these first few lines of prose. They are merely for the benefit of those who uttered some disparaging remarks about JPop.

*ahem*

You bastards! He finally gets motivated enough to put out a new chapter, and all you can do is complain about how he's "forgotten how to write" and the fic has "lost its charm".

Come on! At least have the decency and moral fortitude to appreciate the fact that, unlike some authors I could pin to the proverbial wall for not updating, he has done so, despite the fact that it's been a few years. Sheesh. He does this for the benefit of his readers, not himself. Whatever pleasure he derives from writing, I suspect he gets from a reader's enjoyment.

So show a little courtesy, and at least try not to be so freakin' rude. I for one don't want to wait another four years for an update for this awesome Eva fic.

As for the chapter itself Kalus, I was totally pscyhed to see Hikari, Touji, and Kensuke finally appear. No fic is complete without a appearance of some sort from those three.

And Morning Musume? That is one group I've not heard yet, though I suspect it's because I've not been keeping up with all of the current realeases in Japan.

-sigh-

Sometimes, it sucks to live in America.

Also, kudos to you for breaking the fourth wall to excellent comedic effect. I lulz'd long and hard, my friend.

I will say that I was disapointed not to see a little more Asuka/Shinji interaction. And if I do have to wait another four years, I will go mad. And not in the good sense, either...

All in all, I give you the coveted award of EPIC WIN!! Not only for the excellent chappie, but for having the generousity to share your work once again. My thanks to whoever motivated you.

Looking forwards to the next chapter.

abuseWhen I saw that there was an update for this fic, I was nearly in tears. When I finished reading this chapter, I was also nearly in tears. Opposite ends of the spectrum you understand. Apparently in your 4 year absence you've forgotten how to write. Ok, that may be a bit harsh, but... tell you what, you go ahead and start on the next chapter and I'll forget about this chapter till the next one comes out.

abuseI got the alert for this update and the title caught my eye... and I ended up going back and reading this from the beginning. You're very clever with the way you not only came up with this idea... but the way you keep it running. I love the constant jokes, innuendo, references to the "normal" NGE universe... and you have the characters on target with their personalities. This is one of the most original things I've read in a long time

Ironically, two cons back (June 07), I had heard about this very band, Morning Musume for the first time and how it keeps changing... must be a coincidence that the group shows up here in something on

I noticed when you first posted this, it was about 2 months before my NGE story was posted here, God rest its soul... it'd have been 5 uninterrupted years in early decemeber if this site hadn't pulled it... but that's another story. It's nice to see people doing quality versus quantity... though I try not to take 4 years between updates, lol... 4 weeks unless stuff is happening in my life.

Once again, I have to say good work! One thing I'd like to see, though, is you working in one of my favorite Asuka lines, if possible.

"You should appreciate your good fortune..."

and/or

"What are you, stupid?"

Peace out,

abuseHello Kalus,

OMG, you ACTUALLY updated this fic?! I had lost all hope that this would be updated, but you actually gone out your lazy backside and did it!

This fic is one of the few fics that is in my favourites, and for good reason. It's an original portrayal of the JPOP world, it's lengthy, and it can be funny.

Though, after reading this again, my enthusiasm isn't as flared as it used to be. I don't know, but in this chapter, it's almost as if it has lost it's charm. The chapter is not as.. enticing as the previous ones, I could say. Though some earlier parts were a drag to read through, at least this one stays enjoyable throughout.

Still, it's an enjoyable read. The writing is clean and substantial mostly, but some of the dialogue is simply weird and confusing to read. But perhaps that's just me.

I've enjoyed this read, and I hope you continue with it. Don't let the next update wait too long...

Sincerely,

RahXephon

abuseI've gotta say, this is the best thing I've read on the site. I mean it, THE BEST. Do you have any idea how many fan fics I've read? Anyway, basically, it means this is one damn good read, and you have to update. You hear me? UPDATE PLEASE. Seriously. As soon as possible. Please.

Moving on, I'll say that I really like the way you've portrayed Misato, and her relationship with Shinji is both strange and familiar to me. That, Ritsuko, and the three techs got so many laughs out of me.

So, UPDATE. Please!
