Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

What do you mean? Where would you find fit bodied and mentally stable man who love to take orders instead of anime convention?
Can't they try the femdom convention instead? Those guys are way more pleasant.

milfs, hanging out with your dad, cool robots, flirting with a german redhead, what do you people want
I really think it's just solider finessing their way to go an anime expo on Uncle Sam's dime.
Its that (most recruiters are mid-20s and thus were exposed to and like anime) and the demographic they want to hit is the same as anime cons 18-26 year old male or females.

You gotta keep all the transfems whose eggs cracked while enlisted interested.
Airstrike the fucking wedding Shinji
Does this mean they're starting a giant mech brigade?

MISATO WOULD NEVER- ah, who am I kidding, she absolutely would
In Evangelion, the entire fate of the world depends on the ulterior motives of two paramilitary organisations acting independently of the UN and endangering the lives of civilians in the world's last remaining cities so that their superweapon can trigger a doomsday scenario. If there's one thing I took away from Evangelion it was not pro-military.
The Japanese military put on a big show recently where its orchestra played Evangelion music in a grand blue curtained patriotic display. 
call me western centric but the "fortunate son" / "born in the USA" effect transcends borders because it is tied deeply to nationalism
