I'm posting this here because I think it should be mentioned:

Ever wonder what kind of connection the classic Japanese animation series Neon Genesis Evangelion has to EarthBound for the Super Nintendo? No?

Who cares! I've found a bone-shatteringly amazing connection between them that probably suggests a couple people on the animation team for Evangelion (which aired beginning in October 1995 on Japanese television) were playing EarthBound (known in Japan as Mother 2) while they worked on the famous cartoon. [...] At about the two-and-a-half minute mark of one particular episode of Evangelion, we get a brief shot of Misato's table, and at the top of it you can see this particular flyer for about two seconds, as shown above. Of course, any EarthBound fan will immediately recognize the picture of the little Italian pizza man himself, as being direct from the game. Mach Pizza, interestingly enough, is never mentioned or seen at any other point in the entire run of the series or any of the Evangelion movies, making this a true one-off reference...

I don't know what's worse: That there are such rabid, attentive fans that absorb every possible detail, or that the picture seems legit. I made frequent jokes against Evangelion because that anime was insane as hell and thus seemed fitting for the lp, but this is really bizarre...
