Rei is slightly more popular in Japan but it's not just her - Asuka gets a lot of the limelight, too.

If you go to hobby shops in Japan they're just teeming with sexy Asuka and Rei merch. It drives me batty, actually - most of the Eva merch (figures, posters, body pillows...) is just Asuka and Rei looking sexy and completely ploughs over their characters and the other elements of the show. Not to mention that I think I've seen like... one figure ever for Shinji, AND HE'S THE MAIN CHARACTER. I guess he isn't a sexy girl so he doesn't get merch!

The merchandising for Eva just makes me crazy. It's all about capitalizing on Asuka and Rei's sex appeal (and let us remember that they're both like... 14 or 15 fffff). I feel like it's creepy and is completely missing the point of the show. I put a lot of it on the same level as like Slave Leia for the degree which fanboys and marketing teams have just turned them into fetish fuel at the expense of character and meaning. Ugh.

I USED TO LOVE EVA BUT god I hate the marketing.
