17th-angel:

Anno: In the original script, the two of them [Shinji & Kaworu] were swimming naked in a river. *laughs*

Interviewer: In broad daylight?

Anno: It might’ve been at night.

Interviewer: At night, while showering in the moonlight?

Anno: I don’t know. There was a beautiful picture of the two of them swimming in the river.

Interviewer: The version of the ending, “FLY ME TO THE MOON”, with two boys. *laughs*
