Are you guys aware at how important SEGA was to Evangelion?
They were their first sponsor, back when not even Ban Dai had feith Eva models would sell, SEGA released their classic line of Eva toys that actually became successful and made Ban Dai step into with the model kits, later on.
SEGA was always there, hell, even on the initial credits of EoE, the SEGA logo appears (probably the best ever Sega id ever)

You can say Sega saved anime.

Sega did a lot of shit in Japan in the 90s. Wasting money was part of what fucked them.

Oh so Sega's to blame? I hate them even more now.

Yes, I'm aware. Shinji has a Sega Saturn in the anime.

Sure, whatever you say buddy.

I vaguely remember an episode where Asuka layed around the house playing Sega Saturn games all day. That's pretty cool

Yeah, the owner of the Saturn is actually Hikari, the class rep.

Didn't the Saturn got like two tie-in Eva games that were actually canon in the TV series' continuity.

Not canon, but yeah Saturn got 2 Eva games with alternate stories. The 2nd game introduces Megumi, a new girl who *plot twis*Turns out to be an angel
The first Saturn Eva game was released in 1996 and was the first Evangelion game released period.

Sega also released (along with the company Amada) the first series of Eva trading card collection, the famous PP card series.
Later on, Ban Dai would jump on the Eva card bandwagon with their extremely popular Cardass series (also in cooperation with Sega), but the first Eva cards were Amada's.

Why must you hurt me like this.

American/EU English support of Anime saved Anime. Funimation made so much money from 10 year old DB/DBZ content it fueled the fire of a 90's anime surge.

But you guys jumped last on the bandwagon. Latin-Europe (France, Italy, Spain) and Latin-America were already big on anime ever since the late 80s and early 90s.
