Misato sitting cross-legged on her chair in front of an accordion curtain.
Shinji:“UWAAAAAAAH!”
Shinji opens the curtain and enters.
Shinji:“Mi-Mi-Mi-Misato-san!?”
thewayneiac: Seeing a penguin in an apartment would startle me, but I don't think it would panic me like this. He looked less frightened when he saw Sachiel for the first time.
Shin-seiki: Ah, but you fail to take into account that Acute Penguin Reaction Syndrome is not uncommon among the Japanese (at least in anime :P ).
Hexon.Arq: This is one of those things that makes me think they just wanted to allow the possibility for the series to not turn out quite as solemn as it did. The tones of this show can seem like patchwork at times. Was that intentional, or were they just toying around with "feels"? Either way, it worked.
Keisuke-kun: He couldn't have been so shocked that he forgot he was naked… could he have?
HeWhoPostsStuff: Well, that's sort of the whole concept behind "comic nudity," that for the character in question it isn't really even an issue (until the dreaded last-second realization, that is), despite all the undue attention he or she gets for the duration of his or her state of undress.
